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...

Re: Shorten Auto Character Length Name

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?

Re: Shorten Auto Character Length Name

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: [Download] [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: [Download] [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
