Hi,

as I wrote in a previous post:

Make the upload of zip files, that contains file types which are on the "unsafe" list of Joomla!, possible in Visforms would need a lot of additional options, because I would not like to simply enable the upload of zip files for everybody who enters the "zip" in the list of allowed extensions. Maybe I can implement that in the future but not before I know exactly how I want to handle security risks.


So the code chagnes I posted early are not a fix for me and I will not apply them to the Visforms Code.

Sorry but you have to make the changes again, after an update.

Regards,
Aicha

Hi,

oh sorry.

The code has been move to a helper file.
The file is administrator/components/com_visforms/helpers/visformsmedia.php

Line 132
Code:
$file = ($client == 'site') ? $input->files->get($field->name) : $files[$field->name];
Change to
Code:
$file = ($client == 'site') ? $input->files->get($field->name, null, 'raw') : $files[$field->name];
and line 184
Code:
if (!JFile::upload($file['tmp_name'], $file['filepath']))
to
Code:
if (!JFile::upload($file['tmp_name'], $file['filepath'], false, true))
Regards,
Aicha
