Hi Djulia,

We've investigated this issue further and found that this is part of a PHP bug, where some .swf files are seen to have a file type of .swc:

https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51700

Here is a work around that will be put into the next release:


*NOTE: ALWAYS make a backup of your files before changing CMS Builder source code*

- Open cmsAdmin/lib/upload_functions.php
- In the saveUpload function (around line 207 in version 2.17), you'll see this line of code:

if ($fileExt == 'swf' && $imageType != IMAGETYPE_SWF) { $isValidFileType = false; }

- replace this line with this:

if (in_array($fileExt, array('swf','swc')) &&
!in_array($imageType, array(IMAGETYPE_SWF, IMAGETYPE_SWC))) { $isValidFileType = false; }

Hope this helps

Hi Djulia,

I think I can see what is causing the problem. Line 201 tries to get the number of channels that an image has, but an SWF file doesn't have any channels.

If you change line 201 from :

if ($imageData['channels'] == 4) { return sprintf(t("File '%s' isn't valid (CMYK isn't browser-safe)."), htmlspecialchars($uploadInfo['name'])); }

to:

if (@$imageData['channels'] == 4) { return sprintf(t("File '%s' isn't valid (CMYK isn't browser-safe)."), htmlspecialchars($uploadInfo['name'])); }

This should fix the problem. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Thanks

Greg

Just a note, but we saw the same issue but not with a. SWF file. It was with a PNG that I think was saved in the CMYK colour-space.
This fix removed the error message and allowed us to save the record.
Thanks to Greg and Jason for this.
