Hi

When I try to upload a zip file in Image Gallery I get this error:

Unknown Archive type
Gallery upload error. Cannot extract archive.

Joonmla V 1.7.1 with K2 V 2.5 Stable
My server have zip feature configured and the max upload file size is 300 MB.
My zip file have just 150 KB

My zip is in correct format, I am sure about because the same zip file was upload without error in another site with Joomla 1.5.23 and K2 V 2.4.1

Any idea ?

thanks,

Pablo

Just testing this now.

Hi Pablo,

Sorry, I am having issues with obtaining SIG Pro for 1.7 at the moment so cant give an immediate reply.
Unless you able to send me a copy directly (email) so I can test, we might have to wait until the next user can test or until I get my update.

Regards,

Simon

I've just upgraded from Joomla 1.5.23 to 1.5.25 and K2 from 2.4 to 2.5 and I'm having the same problem

UNKNOWNARCHIVETYPE
Gallery upload error. Cannot extract archive.

Zip files uploaded to Image Gallery fine before the upgrades!

Here i found the fix

/administrator/components/com_k2/lib/class.upload.php

After in the same file change (line 2231)
$this->file_src_mime = mime_content_type($this->file_src_pathname);
...to...
$this->file_src_mime = mime_content_type($this->file_src_name);

zip repairing archives crashed by system errors, power failures, malware, etc. Tool extracts, analyzes and repairs corrupted .zip files, it repairs encrypted data from ZIP archives. Software recovers self-extracting (SFX) archives. If you want test tool facilities download demo.

Hi guys,

Same problem here:
Unknown Archive type
Gallery upload error. Cannot extract archive.
Using:
Joomla 2.5.8,
K2 v2.6.2,
Simple Image Gallery Pro plg_jw_sigpro-v2.6.0_j1.5-2.5-3.0.zip

Earlier mentioned solution implemented on line 2868 of file /administrator/components/com_k2/lib/class.upload.php :
Change:
$this->file_src_mime = mime_content_type($this->file_src_pathname);
To:
$this->file_src_mime = mime_content_type($this->file_src_name);


Makes no difference.

What to do now?

Kind regards,
Edze
