Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: Re: Re: Re: Re: Lesson Portfolio

If you unzip the Portfolio file and have a look in the Activity1162 folder, you will find a directory for each user.

If I try opening the file from katarzyna.drewniak's folder, I can open the file in Word. It won't open from the link in the HTML page as the filename is different to the link. The link has "%C4%86wiczenia%20pod%20nazw%C4%85%20Zadanie%20nr%201.doc" which becomes "Ćwiczenia pod nazwą Zadanie nr 1.doc" in Firefox. But the file on disk is "ƒÜwiczenia pod nazwƒÖ Zadanie nr 1.doc". So there is an issue here with the UTF-8 encoding of filenames.

Could you go into the monitoring screen for the "Wyślij pliki" activity and try downloading Katarzyna's file from the monitoring screen? Can you open the file that way? What is the file called when you download it that way? Do you know what the name of the original file was (before it was uploaded)?

I can't open any of the other files in the Activity1162 folders, even if I open them directly from the folder. Word tells me that they are invalid files. Are you able to open any of them? If you go to the monitoring screen, can you open any of them from there?

Would it be possible for you to send us one of these files or a similar file with the original Polish filename? That is, without the name being corrupted by LAMS. Then we can test uploading them ourselves and see what happens.

I'm raising this problem as this bug.
