extending the media folder by adding custom validation
Hi Guys,
I was thinking of extending the media folder as our client requirement. Before uploading the media, we wanted to check the file size and the file size dimension.
I was thinking of adding it in the editMedia.aspx.cs before calling the _media.Save(); and then recompile the code.
Do you have any other suggestion that won't require me to recompile. Tim suggested to use the event model but i'm a little clueless on how to do it.
Recompiling the sourcecode is a bad thing to do,you can easy extend Umbraco with your custom datatypes/events etc. Anyway events is probably not the most flexible solution to add validation. The only thing a user sees is "Save got canceled bvy a third party component" .
What I would do is create a custom datatype and add the custom validation on that datatype.
You might want toc checkout these blogposts how to do this
