Thanks, works in them all now, although I had to change the explode bit to 8 (because now the export includes the html5 stuff and there's horribly nested folders in the jquery ui css).  If you're importing an old project without the html5 stuff in it won't catch projects where the zip has an extra folder in though - is that going to be a big problem?

ok add an or on the mimetype if for 'application/octet-stream'

and try swapping the 3, for a 4

Ok, in Firefox it fails because the file type appears as 'application/octet-stream'

In IE8 and Chrome it fails because of...

if(count(explode("/",$y))==3){
die(IMPORT_ZIP_FOLDER_LEVEL . "****");

$y is 'wizards/en-GB/data.xwd' and it doesn't like this because it thinks that means 'The files in your zip folder need to be in the main folder, not within another folder in the zip.'

Stupid question response - firebug console (well the chrome console) should show all the text a web page returns, so a php echo should appear in firebug

*installs firebug*

Yep :)

If you look in the code - there is an echo of that error (might be in the language file now as a text string, so cross ref) you'll see what condition generates that error, and then work back through the logic.

Stupid question alert - would php echos appear in the firebug console?

Incidentally, I just tried importing in IE instead and got a different error to the Firefox one - 'The files in your zip folder need to be in the main folder, not within another folder in the zip.' (they're not in another folder)

the "you can only import zip files" is usually a mime type issue.

Look in import.php for the first if statement that checks the mime type of the file.

If you echo that variable and then track in console or fiddler you could debug that part.

Sometimes mozilla and chrome report different mimetypes to IE, so it might be that as well.

I know this is something that comes up a lot but even using the current files from the toolkits svn set up in xampp I can't export and then import a project.  The export (as archive zip) seems to works ok - all the expected files are in the zip.  But when I try to import it I get an error 'You can only import Zip files'

Also, I the language options check boxes on the editor are still not appearing correctly - wasn't this fixed last week?

Thanks
