Adding filters for extensions.

shibu — Thu, 03 Oct 2013 04:55:31 GMT

In /share/components/upload folder, we are having some js files like dnd-upload.js, file-upload.js, flash-upload.js, html-upload.js. I can see one line in file-upload.js like;<filter: {array}, // limits what kind of files the user can select in the OS file selector‍‍‍ I modified file-uplo

I am not sure what this filter does exactly.

But logically once you upload a file then alfresco detects its mimetype so its late to restrict specific mimetype.

You may develop custom rule to delete content of specific mimetype or can develop behavior which implements NodeService Policy, Specifically onCreateNode.

I hope that the filter will block the files on upload.
There is a commented line in all upload js files like;

  filter: {array},         // limits what kind of files the user can select in the OS file selector‍

I can execute a script with the rule for deleting some mime types.
The problem is , if I am deleting exe files with a check like ;

if(document.mimetype == "application/octet-stream")
{
 document.remove();
}‍‍‍‍

this will not allow to create folder also, becz folder also will be deleted on creation. That is a big problem. Is there any way to solve it?
OR
How can I create a rule to delete files with specific extensions?

Sorry , I am not sure but I dont get this, your script also deleted the folder.

Your script looks OK and "docuement" object that also refers to content.

You have applied this rule specifically for "cm:content" or for "All Items".

If you have not defined any condition while applying rule then can you please try with cm:content! This script should work as expected - It should not delete folder

It worked. It was for "All Items". Changed for "cm:content".
Is there any way to delete from Trashcan also? I dont want to keep it any trashcan too.

Hi Shibu,

In the same scrip add temporary aspect. document.addAspect("sys:temporary). It will directly delete the file without moving it to trashcan. Hope it helps
