Moodle

What does it mean sometimes? Does it depend on file name?

Only ASCII characters are supported, we are not planning any non-security fixes for the old wiki - waiting for the new one

From Wen Hao Chuang (wh_chuang at yahoo.com) Saturday, 5 August 2006, 07:00 AM:

I don't think it's related to the filename. It just happened from time to time..

We have got report of the same problem for Moodle 1.6.3 + (2006050531). Was not able to replicate yet.

Just to add my $0.02 - we get it too on our 1.5.4 site. It seems to apply only to certain wikis, but happens every time. I have only tried it with (small) jpeg files.

Since updating my Moodle via CVS on the 24 Sept, I and students have also been unable to upload files to Wikis - the default Wiki module. The error message appearing in the the Attachments page is: [[uplrejsect]]. I have also reported this issue in the forums:

http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=81294

I do hope this can be fixed as soon as possible, since it means that the Wiki module is now severely limited. Thank you.

We have also experienced this issue, in fact after recieving a 'blank' screen after uploading a file, that same day I was able to upload the same file with no problems. (Moodle 1.8.3 browser: FF2.0.12/Windows XP)

I have the same error with moodle 1.8.2 on PHP5, Debian
The error appears with a lot of file types, names and sizes.

We also have it on 1.9.3... we tried with .wav files.

Interestingly the upload on the edit page doesn't work (This format is unacceptable) either - I assume it's just meant for images but it would be nice if it said so.

When using attachments we get the [[uplrejsect]] thing. I assume it's meant to be an instance of this (internal) message -

"UPL_REJSECT"] = 'The given download section "$sect" has been rejected. Please only use the default ones, or tell the WikiAdmin to reenable per-page uploads; else others can\'t find your uploaded files easily."

....doesn't really help much either. Anyway it's all a big hassle

Hi,

is there any solution to this problem? We still have this problem, but the problem does not occur everytime. Sometimes I got this uplrejsect-message and perhaps one hour later it works

Thanks, JB

You can get this error message easily and every time.
On editing new page (you hadn't updated the page yet), you try to upload a file as attachment.

---- add to lang file 'wiki.php'---
$string['uplrejsect'] = 'The given download section $a[sect] has been rejected. Please only use the default ones, or tell the WikiAdmin to reenable per-page uploads; else others can\'t find your uploaded files easily.';

I'm changing the affected versions as this is still a problem with the latest 1.9.x codes. Ludo do you have time to work on this? Many thanks!

@Wen Hao Chuang: do you work with groups on those wikis?

@Dennis no I don't work with groups on those wikis.

Hi, Wen Hao Chuang,.

I think that this issue is not a bug, it's specification of eWiki. (It's not a joke).

But, it is a bug that the error message is not displayed correctly like as "[[uplrejsect]]".

We are experiencing this problem under v1.9.5.

Scenario: Student attempts to add an attachment to a brand-new, empty page and receives the "[[uplrejsect]]" error.

Workaround: Have student add a little text to the page and save it. Then they are able to successfully add an attachment.

Tatsuya Shirai is partially right. Adding the string in the lang/en_utf8/wiki.php (or replacing en_utf8 by the language you are using in your moodle), displays the error instead of [[uplrejsect]].
But there is something else. In mod/wiki/ewiki/plugins/moodle/downloads.php (around line 43) you will find these lines, that mean that you can only upload attachments to the main section, and not in any other:

$ewiki_upload_sections = array(
"" => "main",

1. "section2" => "section2",
   );

And you're getting this error:
The given download section “WIKI SECTION NAME HERE” has been rejected. Please only use the default ones, or tell the WikiAdmin to reenable per-page uploads; else others can't find your uploaded files easily.
When you access the Wiki attachments page, the dropdown shows main –in $ewiki_upload_sections, as shown above-, and the current wiki section by adding the value in $def_sec.
What I did is adding this change in mod/wiki/ewiki/plugins/downloads.php (line 160) to allow to add in the main section or the current wiki section, since that option is available in the attachments page. This is the change:

//added by pcecere ------
if ($def_sec == $_REQUEST["section"]) { $meta["section"] = $sect; } else {
//added by pcecere ------

if ($ewiki_upload_sections[$sect]

This will fix everything.

copying the change again ... since it doesnt loook good.

//added by pcecere ------
if ($def_sec == $_REQUEST["section"]) { $meta["section"] = $sect; } else {
//added by pcecere ------

if ($ewiki_upload_sections[$sect]
//next line I separated the OR so it doesnt make a box ... put it together again...

didnt work ... that part of the code inside the box has to remain the same ...
if you have any issues understanding, contact me.
