ftSizeLimit for Images - customizing error message

dckalorama · February 13, 2019, 4:52pm

Is there a way to customize the error message from uploading an image larger than the limit listed in ftSizeLimit ? Currently, the message is

youimage.jpg is not within the file size limit of 0MB

I tried using the ftErrorSizeMessage attribute that the file formtool uses, but that did not work.

Thanks,

JR

You’re right, this error message string is currently hard coded, with the filename and file size limit being dynamically evaluated;

github.com

farcrycore/core/blob/master/packages/formtools/image.cfc#L970


				<cffile action="delete" file="#archivedFile#" />
			</cfif>
			
			<cfset application.fc.lib.cdn.ioCopyFile(source_localpath=arguments.localfile,dest_location="images",dest_file=arguments.destination & "/" & uploadFilenName) />
			<cfset stResult = passed("#arguments.destination#/#uploadFileName#") />
			<cfset stResult.bChanged = true />
			
		<cfelse>
			
			<cfif arguments.sizeLimit and arguments.sizeLimit lt stFile.fileSize>
				<cfset stResult = failed(value=arguments.existingfile,message="#arguments.localfile# is not within the file size limit of #round(arguments.sizeLimit/1048576)#MB") />
			<cfelseif listFindNoCase(arguments.allowedExtensions,listlast(arguments.localfile,"."))>
				<cfset uploadFileName = application.fc.lib.cdn.ioMoveFile(source_localpath=arguments.localfile,dest_location="images",dest_file=arguments.destination & "/" & getFileFromPath(arguments.localfile),nameconflict="makeunique") />
				<cfset stResult = passed(uploadFileName) />
				<cfset stResult.bChanged = true />
			<cfelse>
				<cfset stResult = failed(value="",message="Images must have one of these extensions: #arguments.allowedExtensions#") />
			</cfif>
			
		</cfif>

What type of customisation do you need to do to this string, are you trying to provide a translation or just change the message entirely? If we add it to the resource bundles it could be overridable and still dynamic.

(Side note: the file formtool error message should be added to the resource bundles to be able to provide translations as well, and the messages in both formtools probably should be similar / consistent).
