[SOLVED] CB Gallery uploads empty files

I've tested with pdf and txt files (many different sizes) but I always got the same issue, the files are created but they are empty. The upload process goes well and the files are correctly shown in the Gallery Tab but they are not linked and also if I check in backend list they have 0KB.

I see that the error comes out when I, as Super Admin, upload a file into another user gallery. In this case I've got this issue meanwhile if I upload the files in my own tab they are correctly uploaded.

What's wrong?

Text and PDF files aren't opened or processed in any way so I've no idea. Works perfectly fine in all my tests as well. Ensure everything is up to date then retry. If issue persists check if you're using any of those security extensions like Akeeba AdminTools and try disabling them. If issue still persists check server error log after upload and see if something failed.

I've found that the issue is related to an Auto Action that I've setted according to this topic: www.joomlapolis.com/forum/255-developer-members-support/237034-solved-cb-gallery-as-repository-for-single-users-only-admin-can-upload-manage

How to fix it?

Ok, the issue is the file path then. The path of a file is based off the owner. You'll need a more advanced auto action to modify the object by reference so the path generates properly. Below should work.

Global
Triggers: gallery_onBeforeCreateGalleryItem
Type: Code
User: User
Access: Everybody
Conditions
1: [var3_asset] Is REGEXP /^profile\.\d+/
Action
Method: PHP
Code: Parameters
Reference Variables: Variable 3

Note for the above to work please ensure CB Gallery is up to date.

This is technically a bug in CB Gallery though. Uploads should always be from the user making the upload instead of the user owning the gallery. Have added a bug ticket to investigate and fix in a later release.

I've added this auto action to the first one and now it seems work fine.
