Keep server disk filename same as Original upload filename

SOLVED!

That did the trick.

Thank you so much for your help.

Hello

do you allow frontend users to submit content ?

we will need to test more,

and also provide parameter for this
see new enhancement issue here:
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexico ... issues/118


please do not make any other hacks, you will not be able to upgrade !!!

The site will allow front end users to submit content - but registered and above only.

Not quite solved...

The file will not download and the front end shows (0KBs) for every file.

Hello

inside plugin file

plugins/flexicontent_fields/file.php

we have:

$abspath = str_replace(DS, '/', JPath::clean($basePath.DS.$file_data->filename));


thus the UTF-8 filename is damaged

you can try replacing it with:
$abspath = str_replace(DS, '/', $basePath.DS.$file_data->filename);


and test, still will need to add extra checks for filename to avoid security issues,

so your hack in helper upload functions, even if they work, we can not say if they are safe
