Document max file size by type

adgonzal21 — Fri, 08 Nov 2013 09:48:03 GMT

Is it possible configure the maximum size for file uploading by type?. For example I want to allow pdf files with &0MB max size and mp3 files with 30MB max size. Thanks in advance

I don't know of an out-of-the-box way to do this in Alfresco. Alfresco doesn't determine the mimetype of the document until after it's completely uploaded. The only thing I could think of would be to create a custom behavior that implements OnCreateNodePolicy and check the mimetype content size when a node is being created and throw an exception if it violates your sizing constraints. However, using this method, it would be difficult to get a meaningful error message back to the user interface.

Here is useful article for implementing behaviours: http://ecmarchitect.com/images/articles/alfresco-behavior/behavior-article.pdf

Thank you very much.
I've imagined it since the mimetype is detected at the end of the upload process. I'll try your proposal.
