Post subject: FAP CUSTOMIZATION - Shorten Auto Character Length Name

So I noticed that when a member does not add a name to thier uploaded image, it uses the imags defult name.... what I end up seing is 35+ characters in the file image name.
Then, what this does is break the layout in members profile and other misc. mods that use tables.
things start looking wacky.

Is there a way to automaticly shorten these long names when they get uploaded?
like say cut it off at 10 characters, for example...

See if this will give you the result you are seeking....

OPEN album_mod/abum_functions.php

FIND (2 separate places)

Code: [Hide] [Select]

return $pic_title;

BEFORE ADD (2 separate places)

Code: [Hide] [Select]

$pic_title = substr($pic_title, 0, 10);

No no, I read you a coulple days ago, I wasn't able to test yet and give feed back.

What happned was that it kept my titlels short no matter what. ie: uploading. Would it be easier to prevent an upload with javascript when there is no title added?

Not a problem Pete_Z, I meant nothing personal. It was just my attempt at humor.

It shouldn't be difficult to make the title input mandatory using either php or js.

Yeah it would probably be easier to have a manditory name then to use huge file name extention as a name... I am experimenting with javascript, but I can not have two onsubmit's in one forum... unless i am doing something wrong.

Where exactly can I find the code inside {S_ON_SUBMIT} ? Maybe I can fit the javascript in there...
onsubmit="return validate_form(this);"

album_upload_body.tpl

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<script type="text/javascript">

function validate_required(field,alerttxt)

{

with (field)

{

  if (value==null||value=="")

  {

  alert(alerttxt);return false;

  }

  else

  {

  return true;

  }

}

}

</script>

I even tried using two

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<form name="upload" action="{S_ALBUM_ACTION}" method="post" onsubmit="return validate_form(this)">

<form name="upload" action="{S_ALBUM_ACTION}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" onSubmit="{S_ON_SUBMIT}">

Well if anyone reads this and wants to share ideas please post.

Javascript is not my strong suit (neither is php for that matter), but from what I can tell the js function for the form validation already exist......
It seems only to check for a title when your ACP setting is limited to 1 pic upload at a time. If you allow multiple uploads then it does not check for title input.

In the upload tpl file if you place var gFileuploadCounter = 1; just after

function checkAlbumForm()
{

it will test for title input always ... of course this may cause other problems .... dunno

In answer to you question the code for {S_ON_SUBMIT} is in album_upload.php and is return(checkAlbumForm()) unless you have nuffload enabled.

Hope this helps
