Formulaire & Mime types

I'm using Formulaire 3.2 and would like to include more file types for the file upload function. (At this point in time, Excel/xls files).

I saw this post here and Philou said to hack the /modules/formulaire/admin/ele_upload.php file, and I did that, and updated the module, however it still doesn't accept Excel files. (I didn't understand the bit about line 165 in the index.php file... I took a look and didn't see a relationship to mime types.)

Here's what I've changed in the ele_upload.php:

$mime = new XoopsFormCheckBox (_AM_ELE_TYPEMIME, 'ele_value[2]', $tab);
$mime->addOption('pdf',' pdf ');
$mime->addOption('doc',' doc ');
$mime->addOption('txt',' txt ');
$mime->addOption('gif',' gif ');
$mime->addOption('mpeg',' mpeg ');
$mime->addOption('jpg',' jpg ');
$mime->addOption('zip',' zip ');
$mime->addOption('rar',' rar ');
$mime->addOption('xls',' xls ');
$form->addElement($mime);


Any ideas on what else needs to be added in order to add more file types to the upload function? Thanks in advance!

This is a very good module. I'm using it for my company's admin work.

I want the user to attach an excel worksheet to a form. However, the xls is not a supported upload type. where can I add xls to the permitted type?

for your request about the xls you'll have to hack the file /modules/formulaire/admin/ele_upload.php

$mime = new XoopsFormCheckBox (_AM_ELE_TYPEMIME, 'ele_value[2]', $tab);
$mime->addOption('pdf',' pdf ');
$mime->addOption('doc',' doc ');
$mime->addOption('txt',' txt ');
$mime->addOption('gif',' gif ');
$mime->addOption('mpeg',' mpeg ');
$mime->addOption('jpg',' jpg ');
$mime->addOption('zip',' zip ');
$mime->addOption('rar',' rar ');
$form->addElement($mime);

you'll have to do some tests of course

I'm working to see if it is possible to store the mime type in the XOOPS version or directly in the admin preferences... for a next release.

for the PM it's no more possible since few version because we can't send attachement to a PM

Have a nice day

Philou


I hope this helps some

Re: Formulaire & Mime types

Doh! Thanks Blue. Might help if I read the original post a little more closely At least you've put me in the right ballpark...

Here are lines 565 to 580. I see the commented out lines about file types, but this PHP-clueless n00b needs a little more help in what to change to allow Excel files:

break;
                case 'upload':
                    $msg.= "<table border=1 bordercolordark=black bordercolorlight=#C0C0C0 width=500><tr><td bgcolor='#6C87B0'><b><I><font color='white'>&nbsp;&nbsp;".$ele_caption."</font></I></b></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor='#efefef'>&nbsp;&nbsp;";
//                    $msg.= "<table border=1 bordercolordark=black bordercolorlight=#C0C0C0 width=500><td><b><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;".$ele_caption."</I></b><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;";
                            /************* UPLOAD *************/
                $img_dir = XOOPS_ROOT_PATH . "/uploads/".$modversion['dirname'] ;
                $allowed_mimetypes = array();
                foreach ($ele_value[2] as $v){ $allowed_mimetypes[] = 'image/'.$v[1];
                }
                // types proposés : pdf, doc, txt, gif, mpeg, jpeg, rar, zip

                $max_imgsize = $ele_value[1];
                $max_imgwidth = 12000;
                $max_imgheight = 12000;

                $fichier = $_POST["xoops_upload_file"][0] ;


Thanks in advance,

// types proposés : pdf, doc, txt, gif, mpeg, jpeg, rar, zip

________________________________

it APPEARS to me the xls needs to be added in exactly the same format as the others.

I am assuming the other file formats work ok.

So if it were me, I would try adding a comma after the zip and a space xls

the line would read...

// types proposés : pdf, doc, txt, gif, mpeg, jpeg, rar, zip, xls

________________________________

IF YOU HAVE ANY RESERVATIONS about that check with someone else before making the change. I recommend ALWAYS keeping the original file by renameing it and making any corrections on the copy you intend to replace it with.

Good luck,
