Slight Problem Noticed

Hi an unusual problem has presented itself.

Some of my clients are uploading images with brackets in the title, for example 'this_image_(2).jpg'

Now this does not effect anything when the image is on the page i.e. <img src="/cms/uploads/this_image_(2).jpg" alt="This Image" width="151" height="214">

but when it is set as a background image it conflicts with css and does not display i.e. 

<div class="pressbox" style="background-image: url(/cms/uploads//this_image_(2).jpg);"></div>

Is there anyway to strip out brackets in filenames (as you do with spaces) at the time the file is uploaded in the cms?

Is there a fix we can implement straight away in the code somewhere, which can then be built in to future releases.

Hi Zaba,

Try a preg_replace in your foreach loop, something like this (change the thumbUrlPath as approriate).

It's based on a regex recipe in my CMSB Cookbook http://www.thecmsbcookbook.com

<?PHP $upload['thumbUrlPath'] = preg_replace("[\(|\)]", "-", $upload['thumbUrlPath'] ); ?>

 Best,

Thanks Greg,

but the filenames need to be renamed automatically to remove brackets at the point of upload. (I have no control over the names clients call their images)

If I do it where you suggest the file will not exist (as it will be looking for a filename that does not exist).

But this might help...

Sorry,

Ive read the post

what does the variable $masterurl in the path refer to?

and how does this solve my problem?

By gkornbluth - March 12, 2015

It doesn't, I was using that variable to enter test server URLS at the time.

Just put a set of single quotes ' around your url, or foreach loop, or whatever code you're using to pull up the image path in your background-image: url('your code')
