Bug in News module in WB2.8.2RC, with IE8

[Argos]

I found that in WB2.8.2 RC5 (I didn't test previous RC's) the news module shows an error message when trying to upload a Group image using IE8 or IE9 in compatibilty mode. Can others confirm this?

It is the error from line:

Code:

$admin->print_error($MESSAGE['GENERIC']['FILE_TYPE'].' JPG (JPEG) or PNG a');

in the file save_group.php.

And what's that letter "a" doing there anyway? There is also a related message that ends with the letter "b".

I will be going to test it, tks for information

Can't confirm the error. Can somebody else test?

I think the a is a broken text.

I will install a clean RC5 (latest) on a test site and see what happens...

Hallo Jurgen,

The latest WB is RC6, will be the last before stable. pls wait until tommorow. We fixed something in the news module. So you get the latest version.

OK, I will test RC6 as well. But I am curious if a clean WB of the same version I built my site with also shows the error, or not.

Does the new News module has the post image feature that stefek added a couple of days ago?

And what's that letter "a" doing there anyway?

tested with wb2.8.2 rev 1455 and IE9 in compatibilty mode and a small jpg.

Code:

Bitte beachten Sie, dass Sie nur den folgenden Dateityp auswählen können: JPG (JPEG) or PNG b

click on BACK will trying load the site for a long time ...

Hallo Frank,

Hallo Jurgen,

we tested with IE9 in IE8 mode, upload failed. IE9 modus upload ok. With my browser original IE8 upload ok

Hmm  , somebody any idea?

Dietmar

[Argos]

Weird eh?

I just installed a clean Revision 1394 and tried. Indeed same error:

"Please note that the file you upload must be of the following format: JPG (JPEG) or PNG b"

So it is a bug in WB, and not something due to my local modifications. I'll try the latest RC6 as well, but I guess it's the same.

[Luisehahne]

The problem is, that i can't reproduce this and so where should i search?

Maybe another User has an idea to fix. In my point of view it's not a bug by WB

With my browser original IE8 upload ok

Really? That's strange. My laptop with regular IE8 on XP shows the error, as does IE8 with IETester on my Win7 PC. I found out becasue my client called about it. He also uses XP and regular IE8.

[Luisehahne]

XP with IE8, too is my system. I don't know what i can do. Do you understand, that i need the error on my machine, to find a bug in WB.

I can give you access to my fresh, clean, empty test site with default settings. Both backend and FTP. Is that helpful?

[Luisehahne]

YEs send me per PM,

tested with IE8 in XPx64 = error
the same with IE8 in XPx32.
click on BACK brings the frontend.

[Luisehahne]

Ich konnte den Fehler lokalisieren. Mal wieder eine Eigenart des IE

mime-type in IE = image/x-png

im Firefox = image/png

Bis später

Dietmar

[Luisehahne]

Bin schon am fixen. Hhatte ferade nur win Kabelanbieterausfal l, falls jemand mich versucht hat zu erreichen. Skype geht auch noch nicht. Die haben heute auch wieder Probleme.

Was wir doch inzwischen abhängig sind. Aber das gehört jetzt nicht hier rein.

Melde mich wieder

Hallo Jurgen,

pls test and inform us. if ok we put it in the next Revsion

Dietmar

[Argos]

Yes, works fine now. Thanks!

It would be very nice to have the teaser image stefek added to the news module also in the official News module. It essentially uses the group image function, plus an added thumbnail preview in the backend. See http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php?topic=21671.new;topicseen#new

[Luisehahne]

We are working to fix the mime-types for different browser, so that modules can call this function by core.

Tks Argos for the info
