mm_forum

Apparently this is a bug in Firefox, which provides a wrong file-type when uploading a pdf file through a web-form. Some googling showed that this problem with Firefox has been around for years, so no idea when it will be fixed. Therefore I propose a workaround, as it results in errors (attachment not found) when trying to open the attachments in mm_forum.

Workaround for this issue:

fix for pi1/class.tx_mmforum_pi1 function performAttachmentUpload,
ln 2648 (in v0.1.7), something like 2750 in current SVN:

/* fix wrong mime-type for pdf when uploading through firefox
 * Mime-type for pdf should be: 'application/pdf'
 * FF 3.0.9 Linux gives 'binary/octet-stream'
 * FF 3.0.9 Windows gives 'application/octet-stream'
             */ 
            if (($file['type']  'binary/octet-stream' || $file['type']  'application/octet-stream') && substr_compare($file['name'],'.pdf',-4,4,true)==0) {
                $file['type'] = 'application/pdf';
            }
