ECMS File & Image Libraries

From NewHaven Software Wiki

File names

• Make sure that the file extension (.jpg, .pdf) is in all lowercase letters. Some areas of the admin use the extension to check the file type, and since the server is case-sensitive, uppercase letters will cause a mismatch.
• Remove any special characters (such as '%','@','&') from the image name before uploading. These are generally reserved characters in HTML, PHP, Smarty, or SQL, and are not allowed as part of a file name.
• Replacing spaces with an underscore (_) helps your filenames from look like this:

instead of like this:
