By default the filename is restricted to characters that can be supporting in Windows, Unix, CIFS and WebDav. If this is too restrictive, then you can change the model which uses a constraint to enforce this restriction.

Look in contentModel.xml:


   <constraints>
      <constraint name="cm:filename" type="REGEX">
         <parameter name="expression"><value><![CDATA[.*[\"\*\\\>\<\?\/\:\|\xA3\xAC\%\&\+\;]+.*]]></value></parameter>
         <parameter name="requiresMatch"><value>false</value></parameter>
      </constraint>
   </constraints>

Hey everyone,

I am trying to overwrite the default cm:filename constraint in the default contentModel.
I've modified the file and removed the <constraint> tags completely so my cm:name property looks like this:

 <property name="cm:name">
               <title>Name</title>
               <type>d:text</type>
               <mandatory enforced="true">true</mandatory>
            <index enabled="true">
              <atomic>true</atomic>
              <stored>false</stored> 
                  <tokenised>both</tokenised>
               </index>
            </property>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I've also modified the validation.js file to not validate at all - just return true. Still i cant upload files with characters such as < > * ?

Can anyone help?
