android photo upload fix?

Does anyone know if the dolphin version on GitHub has the fix for android photo upload? or is there a file you can edit in the script because just adding jpeg to your dolphin admin panel still see the problem with (invalid image format) incase the admin panel is not writing to the script is there a code to add the extension in bxphotoupload.php?

More info on this would be much appreciated.

What device are you using?

I use a PC. But a lot of the smart phones have the upload problem. Especially android I even tried on my htc and had people complain why they can not upload the photo from their phone. I think this is the most urgent problem to sort out because new sign ups are getting annoyed at me wondering why they can't upload a pic from their phone.

what version of Dolphin - I am using 7.2.0 and have no issues uploading from my Samsung to the Desktop site.

I have tried to reproduce this issue, but I'm not able to. The only issue related to phones I've seen is that some use the 'jpeg' extension for camera photos, which needed to be whitelisted (this is now done in the repo).

I'm using 7.2 ... so far the affected phones are Samsung and htc that have android. They get wrong file extention. I tried adding Jpeg to the admin panel under photos module but not having any luck.

@Nathan paton  ... what do you mean by via whitelisted in the repo? I'm having a slow moment today.

Whitelisted in the Photos module's extension settings. Just updated the SQL file in the GitHub repo, so the next version will include this change by default.

Unless the photos are not .png, .jpg (or .jpeg), or .gif, I don't see where an upload issue could be coming from. If the phone has a file manger available, try checking the file and having the file manager show extensions.

I checked the extensions on HTC and Samsung and they are both (Jpeg). Is there any way I can get access to the sql file before the next update? or would this cause problems. I take it the jpeg extensionis part of the SQL queries? I was looking on MySQL earlier to see if I could find it. But without luck.

It's in the Admin Panel, under the Photo module's settings. Just add 'jpeg' to the list of extensions, like so:

jpg jpeg png gif

That's all the change in the SQL file does.

Done that already and still got the problem... I'm thinking maybe the admin side of the script is not writing it to sql. I had a few database problems with ads where I had to edit the MySQL itself because it wasn't creating the ads categories nor was it deleting them.. everything else seemed fine database wise.

This may sound weird but could it be case sensitive? You said they were .Jpeg so maybe try adding it that way instead of all lowercase (jpeg). Can't hurt for sure.

 Thanks. Will give this a try tomorrow. Let you know if it has any effect.

Well, I pulled out my older HTC phone with Android OS to test this.

I cannot get ANY picture to upload, even enabling the "regular" method.

Maybe your device is writing some device specific info to the jpeg file not allowing the site to read the upload properly. Try taking the picture and email it to yourself and then download it from your email and upload it from a desktop computer.

I dug an old Droid RAZR HD out of the floorboards - it runs Android 4.4 and an old version of Chrome. No issues with photo uploads from file and from the camera. So it seems only some devices are affected - what browser is being used? What version of Android? You can find this from Settings => About phone.

I'll also test my BlackBerry Q10 and Palm Pre 2 for good measure. 

Good lord Nathan...you have a graveyard of old phones, eh? lol

I just got a Palm Treo 650 last week! NIB! I don't expect that one to work, though.

Interesting, I got mine working fine after enabling REGULAR mode ONLY
