URGENT HELP! (image/logo) in Template builder not uploading

kelvinmw

Hello team, we've been using Gibbon and recently one of our sections has started using the reports module but unfortunately I cant upload image using {logo,image and other components in template builder}.

At first I thought its permission issue but then after setting up everything properly and trying different options its confirmed as a bug :https://github.com/GibbonEdu/core/issues/1376
Reported 2nd July 2021.

kindly how do I go about this because all teachers entered marks and we are ready to generate report cards but the ability to include a logo+signature or image media is not possible at the moment.

kindly advice

Regards

sandra

Hi Kelvin, thanks for flagging this issue. I've had a chance to look into it and it appears there is indeed a bug, related to the way v22 changed the custom fields functionality. I've fixed the bug here in v23, you can apply the same patch to your system by copying the file over or making the same changes.

It looks like the reason it wasn't generating an error message is related to the way browsers handle file uploads, there was a syntax mismatch in the name of the file input, so the $_FILES array was silently failing to be submitted from the browser 😬

Thank you so much... this was kinder an emergency because one of our sections it was their first time trying to generate reports so a did a temporary solution by trying to upload manually and directly from the DB( copying paths and files to necessary locations and uploading those images in the uploads folder ...lot's of work but it was a temporary solution to just make sure things are running smoothly..

A BIG THANK YOU FOR THE FIX
