Prevent uploading of certain file types?

[natebsi]

Is it possible to prevent users from uploading files with a certain extension?

use space rules for that.
You have conditions that can detect files extension. As for the action I m not sure you can delete, but you can move the files with the forbidden extension to a "trashcan".

Hi even am looking at disabling upload capability for certain files….
Can you tell me if there is a action that will move content to trashcan….cos under action i cannot see such an option while configuring rules.
I tried to write my own action by using
this.nodeService.moveNode(actionedUponNodeRef, getArchiveRootRef(),  ContentModel.TYPE_FOLDER, assocRef.getQName());

I get java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.alfresco.repo.node.db.DbNodeServiceImpl.setChildUniqueName(DbNodeServiceImpl.java:2037)
        at org.alfresco.repo.node.db.DbNodeServiceImpl.moveNode(DbNodeServiceImpl.java:445)

someone has any idea how to move a node to trashcan .

Hi I tried to move a node to Archive store…..by seeting the moveActiontoArchive as rule for content uploaded with specific mime type.
On uploading a content with the specified mimetype the rule action initiates, i try to move the node by

this.nodeService.moveNode(actionedUponNodeRef, getArchiveRootRef(),ContentModel.ASSOC_CHILDREN , QName.createQName(NamespaceService.CONTENT_MODEL_1_0_URI, "move"));

but i get

org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.InvalidNodeRefException: Node does not exist: workspace://SpacesStore/73343938-1c26-11dd-b015-57bc895f54c2

I suppose the node is not created when the rule starts to execute…or what is the reason for this exception?

How to solve this?

Pls help out….


Thanks,
Lakshmi

Ok i managed to move node to Archive store….by selecting run in backgorund check box for the rule.
When i upload content and click OK the content node moves to archive space and when it returns to browse.jsp there is a message that is thrown::

Unable to find the repository item referenced by Id: d6cf8d47-1c3a-11dd-a78d-ff16be4206e4 - the record has probably been deleted from the database.
This is thrown as the node has been moved to archive node .Ok.

But i did like to throw my own custom message. How to throw custom error message from action class configured via rules?
