Filter Out Filenames by Extension

Reply Quote

Can you give me an example of a regular expression for the filenamePattern property that will filter out certain filetypes? (ie: filter out *.exe, *.test)

Thanks.

That works for 'downloadable files', but I want to restrict what's displayed when they 'insert hyperlink'. I need to modify the filenamePattern for that, correct?

It also works for 'insert hyperlink' button.

No.

Restricting Document Files by Extensions and Types

One of the CuteEditor new and innovative capabilities is restricting uploading Document Files by extensions and types. You can filter the type of Document Files so only specified file types are allowed to upload or show in the dialog.

This topic describes how to manage uploading document file type restrictions.

You can restrict uploading document Files by Extensions and Types by editing the security policy file:

The security policy file (default.config, admin.config and guest.config) can be found in the /CuteEditor/Configuration/Security folder. In security policy file you can find the DocumentFilters element element . By default, it contains the following value:

</security>

You can modify the DocumentFilters element element to meet your own requirements.

That's not working for me. All I have in my DocumentFilters is <item>.pdf</item> and <item>.doc</item> but when I 'insert hyperlink', it still shows me all files.

I know I can use filenamePattern to do what I want, I'm already using it to block out filenames that begin with an underscore (ie: <security name="filenamePattern">^[^_][a-zA-Z0-9\._\s-]+$</security>).

If you have regular expression expertise, please provide me with an expression to block out a file extension. I'm looking for something like <security name="filenamePattern">^.+\.[^(inc)]*$</security>, but this isn't quite right, it blocks all files with an 'i', 'n' or 'c' in the extension instead of the exact 'inc' extension.

Please open CuteSoft_Client\CuteEditor\Dialogs\SelectFile.aspx and find the following code:

protected override void GetFiles(ArrayList files)
    {
  files.AddRange(fs.GetFileItems(CurrentDirectory,secset.FileNamePrefix + "*.*"));
    }

Change it to:

    protected override void GetFiles(ArrayList files)
    {
        foreach (string ext in secset.DocumentFilters)
        {
            if (ext == null || ext.Length == 0) continue;

   if ( ext.Length > 4 )
   {
    if ( !secset.DocumentFilters.Contains( ext.Substring( 0, 4 ) ) )
    {
     files.AddRange(fs.GetFileItems(CurrentDirectory, secset.FileNamePrefix + "*" + ext));
    }

   }
   else
    files.AddRange(fs.GetFileItems(CurrentDirectory, secset.FileNamePrefix + "*" + ext));
        }

    }

Keep me posted

That worked, the DocumentFilters now applies to the 'insert hyperlink' dialog too. I also found this RegEx that will block file extensions in case anyone is interested (ie: blocks all files with abc or xyz extensions; add more as needed):

^[a-zA-Z0-9_\s-]+\.(?!abc)(?!xyz).+$

Thanks again.
