When using the file upload control with IE 9, it will save the full path as the file name, which breaks the link to the file. I'm using Umbraco 6.1.6 and Contour 3.0.18. Is there any work around for this?
Nope, i'm using the standard out of the box one. I did upgrade from an older verson of contour, but it worked fine in the older version I was using. Maybe I messed up the upgrade?
Edit: I just copied the files from UmbracoContour_3.0.18_update.zip to my umbraco install directory, still doesn't work in IE though.
Don't have ie9 :( will see if one of the collegues can help reproduce, could you send screenshot of the fieldtype dropdown? Just to make sure it isn't third party
Worth noting that the file uploads correctly, just the path stored is incorrect. Issue is only in IE (running IE11) and chaning the document mode to test various IE versions provides no different behavior.
I was never able to find a good solution for this. I ended up writing a hack that recreates the link to the document. The file path is still not stored correctly, but atleast the users can get the uploaded files now.
The website is an externally facing website but also available on an internal network. Using IE externally is fine, it is just when using it internally that there is the issue. This makes a lot of sense to me given it is a server side function being effected by a client side browser.

Hmmm I thought this was already fixed, could it be that you are using a third party upload fieldtype?

Works fine in IE 11, will try with IE9

Looking at the code it uses Path.GetFileName(file.FileName)
So it should only store the filename
Are you 100% sure you aren't using a third party control? any chance I can take a look at the site?
I'm sure. Unless this is a 3rd party file uploader, but I haven't written one.
Were you able to reproduce this in ie 9?

You seem to have some extra ones, are you 100% sure the dev's haven't deployed a custom fieldtype?
I had the same issue. I updated from 3.0.18 to 3.0.20 and the issue still persists.
I have Contrib installed but nothing custom beyond that.

Running Umbraco 6.1.6.

Update: I have further isolated the issue.
The website is an externally facing website but also available on an internal network. Using IE externally is fine, it is just when using it internally that there is the issue. This makes a lot of sense to me given it is a server side function being effected by a client side browser.
