Customization of ALfresco Content upload

[rkasera]

Hi,

I have the following queries on Alfresco customization:

1. Can I use a different HTML Editor than the default one? If yes how is that configurable?

2. Is it possible to integrate a virus scanning engine when content is uploaded through alfresco?

3. How can I apply restriction on the file size being uploaded through the Alfresco web client?

4. If I want to apply a validation on an image being uploaded on the basis of a predefined pixel specification, is it possible to do it through some customization.

Any help on these queries would highly be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rajiv

1. Yes you can replace the HTML editor used by default but this is not configurable, you'd have to manually replace all the uses of TinyMCE with your choice.

2 and 4. These can both be achieved by using a custom action which is run via a rule on a particular space or spaces. Have a look at these wiki pages for details on actions:

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Custom_Actions
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Custom_Action_UI

3. This isn't configurable but could be achieved via customisation. We use the commons fileupload library (1.1.1) which I believe allows you to set the maximum upload size for a file, so you could customise our UploadFileServlet to set this parameter.

Thanks Gavin for your help. I would research this further.
