Photo can not contain the value 'Blue hills.jpg'

in my add form. what am i doing wrong?

Hi,

The problem is your Form Regex '^|.*\.(?i:gif|jpg|png|bmp)$'. What do you mean when you use this '^|'? Just replacing '^|' with '^' will work.

thanks for your reply<
i changed to this:

'^'.*\.(?i:gif|jpg|png|bmp)$'

and it still doesn't work

please help

Hi,

It might be choking on the space. Try URL encoding it, or removing the space, and converting it to an _

Not sure, just a guess.

If you remove the regex, does the photo upload ok?

The whole expression should be '^.*\.(?i:gif|jpg|png|bmp)$', not having an extra ' after the ^

thank you so much for your advice:
'^.*\.(?i:gif|jpg|png|bmp)$'
still did not work, but leaving the field empty did work. the new problem is that when i try to modify if, the text box is blank and does not contain the xxx.gif

i am using this in my form page:

<input type="file" name="Photo" value="<%if Photo%><%Photo%><%endif%>">

how can i fix this

cheers,
andrew

Yes, PUGDOG is right. It should be blank

The field shuld be <input type="file" name="Photo">. File field name does not understand value attribuite. You should add some other options like in admin such as delete checkbox, and view image.

Just that. Lsql will do the rest.

Hello,
i have the same problem with Version 3.04

error-message for example:

Image1_thumb can not contain the value 'image028.jpg'

I tried the regex like the desvriptions above.

'^|.*\.(?i:gif|jpg|jpeg|png)$' (this is from the manual)
and
'^.*\.(?i:gif|jpg|jpeg|png)$' (this from above)

if i let it blank it works.
BUT i dont want to let it blank, i don t want that somebody load different like images up to the server......
I d like to use regexes.
thanks for reading
regards
manne

i forget:
in the include_form.html:
<div class="row clear">
<label for="Image1_thumb" class="name">Small Image/Thumbnail:</label>
<div class="value">
<input type="file" id="Image1_thumb" name="Image1_thumb" class="text" />
</div>

OK, i just found it in the forum thanks to Jonze


^[\w-]+\.(?:jpe?g|JPE?G)$

i think the ? is like either jpg or jpeg, it works.
