Limit Length of File Names

[pixelwind]

Hey there,

I'm trying to customize the Alfresco webclient for my needs. It it possible to limit the shown filename in the browse.jpsg to for example 32 characters?  I need this because some files have a very long filename and this destroy the layout.

Thanks for your replies

There isn't anything out of the box to do this.

You could however change the queryBrowseNodes() method in BrowseBean and modify the "name" property for each node if the name is too long.

org.alfresco.web.bean.BrowseBean, you'll find it in the web client project.

Download the SDK - then once you have unpacked it all, you want to look at the Java code called BrowseBean.java in the web-client project folder.

Thanks,
