[SOLVED] How to disable Required option for Size in File field?

Hi!

How to disable Required option for Size in File field?



Also, is it possible FC automaticly determine file size?

Thanks.

Hello

hhhmm, is it a problem, that it is required ?

please explain the usage scenario

i guess reasons can be
- you do no display the size in frontend
- the file pointed by the URL can change size ...

Hello

hhmm agreed to remove it ... in v3.1.1
since it can be problematic , e.g. the file size of the file pointed by URL can change size much more easily than it can change extension


administrator/components/com_flexicontent/views/filemanager/tmpl/default.php

change class="required input-xxlarge"
to class="input-xxlarge"

PLEASE do not make any other changes to file
as they will be overwritten on upgrade

Ok, I just have experience in the use of other components.

I believe, that we should have ability to disable this parameter.

But if the option is enabled - FC should determine file size automaticly (for local and for external files).

Yes, file pointed by the URL can change size - but the probability of this is very small and we should have ability to change file size manually.

This is how it works in JDownloads:

Hello

for local files we do already
- for file via URL , i guess we can get file size via HTTP headers using CURL

(and in rare cases that CURL is not available we will not get it)

The code to do it seems to be little and already available:
stackoverflow.com/questions/2602612/php-...out-downloading-file

So i guess this should be an easy task, here is a short term issue:
Get file size of file URLs automatically during file URL data saving
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/issues/662

Together with ... this issue (which is much more work than the above)
Make download history / download statistics visible
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/issues/527

given v3.1.2 milestone
