Blog-plugin: Error uploading file ... copy(): Filename cannot be empty

[fcidral]

I got an error when click or drag an image to the post.

Any help here, please?

Does this only happen in the blog plugin? Try uploading your avatar in the back-end to see if the same issue occurs. This is most likely something caused by your hosting provider, check the error logs for more details.

Otherwise as per the contribution guidelines, please provide the exact steps you are taking for the issue to occur. This will be used for peer review.

@tschallacka had a PR (https://github.com/octobercms/october/pull/1871/) made to potentially resolve the issue, but it was closed due to lack of revision to meet the repository's standards. If anyone wants to try again, they're welcome to.

[LukeTowers]

@fcidral If I reimplement the changes from octobercms/october#1871 will you test to ensure it works for you?

[LukeTowers]

@fcidral Please confirm that octobercms/october#2654 fixed this for you

[tschallacka]

Try this one out: https://github.com/octobercms/october/pull/2674

That one is the fix for the images alone.

Thanks, this works great. But because this fix is not yet in october/rain/src/Database/Attach/File.php. It will still break for those attachment.

Inherit this class and override the function with the one in the patch.
Now I can use October on my client's aging Windows server.

public function fromPost($uploadedFile)
{
    if ($uploadedFile === null) {
        return;
    }

    $this->file_name = $uploadedFile->getClientOriginalName();
    $this->file_size = $uploadedFile->getClientSize();
    $this->content_type = $uploadedFile->getMimeType();
    $this->disk_name = $this->getDiskName();

    $realPath = empty(trim($uploadedFile->getRealPath()))
        ? $uploadedFile->getPath() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $uploadedFile->getFileName()
        : $uploadedFile->getRealPath();

    $this->putFile($realPath, $this->disk_name);

    return $this;
}

But for everything else like, Avatar that uses the previous function, will still face the same error. Only MediaManager or those using patched class can upload fine on Windows IIS.

[LukeTowers]

Thanks for reporting that, I'll fix it for you in the library repository as well.

[LukeTowers]

@shoguniphicus I've added the fix to the library as well in https://github.com/octobercms/library/commit/aeacd00c4dab4e054d15f79e41049b832efa1948. Does that solve your problems now?

[LukeTowers]

Since @shoguniphicus never replied, and neither did @fcidral I'm going to assume that is issue is resolved.
