Upload of this filetype (.jpg) is not allowed!

[gadgetto]

Since 2.3 (I think) its not possible to upload image files to the assets directory without adding the .jpg,.png,.gif to the Uploadable File Types system setting.

The �Uploadable Image Types setting seems to be ignored.

Are you working on a fresh install, or an upgrade (from 2.2)?

On a fresh local install, I show:

upload_files // txt,html,htm,xml,js,css,zip,gz,rar,z,tgz,tar,htaccess,mp3,mp4,aac,wav,au,wmv,avi,mpg,mpeg,pdf,doc,docx,xls,xlsx,ppt,pptx,jpg,jpeg,png,gif,psd,ico,bmp,odt,ods,odp,odb,odg,odf
upload_images // jpg,jpeg,png,gif,psd,ico,bmp

I am also able to upload a jpg into /assets/images/ (once created) without issue on 2.3.1.

Perhaps upload_files was somehow changed (or not kept in sync) along the way?

I am experiencing this as well on a client's existing site. I can confirm that it started happening just after upgrading to 2.3.1.

Our upload_files never had all the image types like your fresh install does, but once adding them, uploads work again. The upload_images setting seems redundant at this point. Perhaps the upgrade process should append the upload_images value to the upload_files value?

I upgraded a site today from 2.2.6 -> 2.2.10 -> 2.2.14 -> 2.3.1 and now have this exact same problem. Nothing in error logs. Creating the images folder in the assets folder doesn't seem to resolve problem.

Thought it was a permission issue with my client, but even with full permission I'm unable to upload images or files getting same error message as @gadgetto

hey guys.
I wrote the code you are talking about. I thought it was the right behaviour that all uploadable file types must be in the upload_files setting.
But thinking about it...what is the upload_images setting good for then?
Hmm...???
I think we should decide what is the correct behaviour for this:

1. Taking upload_files as the only source for permitted file types
2. Merge upload_files and upload_images as source for permitted file types

I'm happy with either way and will send in a pull request if option 2 is our choice.

So long...

Not sure that is the only problem going on. I've upgraded several sites and I don't appear to have this upload_files problem on all of them.

On the one in which I am having a problem I did go through the versions as listed in previous post to ensure there were no issues. Unforuntately seemed to hit this problem going from 2.2.14 to 2.3.1. I've cleared cache and flushed permissions, but the problem persists.

So I guess my suggested fix in my push request ( thomasd/MultiUploadDialog#11 ) can be still relevant?

[crimsonpixel]

I've downloaded and installed MultiUploadDialog extra and this has resolved the problem - not a fix as such but at least my client can now upload images again.... :)

Hi I also have this issue. I've installed MultiUploadDialog extra too, but it's made no difference. Does anyone know a fix for this yet please?

[gadgetto]

@soydemadrid you currently need to add the desired image extensions (.jpg,.gif,.png,...) to the upload_files MODX System Setting

[soydemadrid]

Thanks, I've already added them to upload_media and upload_images! Adding them now to upload_files works. Thank you
