Hello everyone,
Some years ago, I've made a website with a Fabrik form in wich there are some file upload elements.
All worked well until recently.
I was told by my client that, sometimes, zip files are not uploaded and that the form is not submitted with the following system message: "File not uploaded for security reasons".
After some search, it seems that the problem comes from a new Joomla! way to check the uploded files against some strings like '.php' or '.py'.
I've exprienced myself that I couldn't upload a PDF file compressed in ZIP format (I suppose that in the PDF there are some backlisted strings) but could upload a MP4 file compressed in ZIP format.
You can learn more in this topic of the Joomla! forum: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=715&t=894174
Many third party developers had to deal with this file checking see: https://www.alledia.com/forum/osdownloads/265-zip-upload-and-downloads-counting/ or https://www.seblod.com/community/fo...zip-file-upload-impossible-since-joomla-3-4-5
I know it is not a Fabrik issue but this prolem is annoying and some help is welcome.
Best regards
Simon
