Hoping to get a feature request incorporated, following returning to the same problem again a few years after the last time I encountered it.

I use data submittedin RSForms that then gets mapped to a different table to then go on and generate access passes that have photos on them. So the RSForm allows the person requiring the pass to upload their photo.

The issue is with TCPDF not accepting spaces in image file names. So I'd like to str_replace the spaces with _ on upload, but at the moment that can only be done by editing the relevant line in the core RSForms files, so each time the component gets updated that would be overwritten.

The solution is outlined in this post:
www.rsjoomla.com/forum/37-rsform-pro/243...load-name.html#31280

A simple change of /administrator/components/com_rsform/helpers/rsform.php to replace spaces with _ would suffice, though that would blanket change it. More user friendly would be to add it as an attribute.


Sending this as a support ticket also, but thought readers would like to comment on it possibly.

Update relating to where to go to fix this.

In RSForms

administrator\components\com_rsform\helpers\fields\fileupload.php on line 210:

Change

to

Note that this can be improved by getting a parameter set up to define what the character to use instead of space should be.

I'm confused, I'm seeing that in line 105. But, I tried it and IT WORKED!! Thank you!

If you're seeing it in line 105, then you're possibly using an old version of RSForms. The code moved in the latest version to the second post's info. An even better method though has been supplied to me in my support ticket:


"Please note that there is no need to adjust the default files of the component in order to replace the space from the uploaded file name, this can also be achieved using the PHP Scripts section of the form. You can try achieving your scenario by heading to Components > RSForm!Pro > Manage Forms > Selecting your form > Properties > PHP Scripts > and adding a syntax as the following in the "Scripts Called on form process" section:

Afterwards you can test the upload functionality one more time."

We are using 1.52.4 on Joomla 3.6.4. I tried the php solution, and it worked nicely. Substitutes underscores for the spaces. Thank you very much!
