Hi Fuji

Could you ellaborate a bit more on your thoughts on this? Is it in visual terms on the frontend of a website or in the backend of Umbraco or?

Hey Jan,

Its more on the frontend of the website. I would like to display the file size of uploaded pdf file that user will be able to download.

Hi Fuji

Just like the umbracoFile, umbracoHeight etc. you can print out the umbracoBytes peoperty in the frontend using the GetMedia-extension. Is this what you want to do?

I have used the following to display 15 KB or 3 MB:

    <xsl:call-template name="FileInfo">
      <xsl:with-param name="size" select="umbracoBytes"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
  ...

<xsl:template name="FileInfo">
  <xsl:param name="size"/>

  <xsl:variable name="fileSize" select="round($size div 1000)"/>
  <xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="$fileSize &gt; 1000">
    <xsl:value-of select="round($fileSize  div 1000)"/> MB
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:value-of select="$fileSize"/> KB
  </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Hi Fuji..

Try to take a look at this: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/code-snippets/listfilesfrommediafolderxslt/find-media-file-sizes

Hmm...could you try shoing us your whole xslt?

The $pdfFile needs to contain a media node id. So you probably need to wrap the value-of inside an if-statement checking whether the $pdfFile is empty or not.

Hi Kim,

Here is how am doing it 

<xsl:variable name="pdfFile" select="newsPDF" />

<xsl:if test="$pdfFile != ''">
              <a target="_blank">             
                
                <xsl:attribute name="class">
                  <xsl:text>pdf</xsl:text>
                </xsl:attribute>                
                
                <xsl:attribute name="href">                    
                   <xsl:value-of select="newsPDF"/>                                  
                </xsl:attribute>Download the pdf file                 
            </a>
          </xsl:if>  

Its giving  me the right pdf file but would also like to show the file size

This newsPDF-field - is this an upload data type? It sure looks like that, when you're not using the GetMedia extension. Unless you've created your own XML, and put the path to the pdf in an element called newsPDF.

/Kim A

Yes its an upload field where the client will decide if he wants to include a pdf file or not.

Any know if an XsltExtension is already out there for getting the filesize from a filepath?

If not, then I'll add one to uComponents (in the IO extension), for the next release! :-D

Cheers, Lee.

Hi Fuji,

Out of couriosity, what does this give you: <xsl:copy-of select="$pdfFile" /> ? :-)

Lee, I haven't seen an extension like that anywhere, so go for it! It would be very useful in situations like this one. Maybe an extension to grab the width and height from a path would also be great in situations where it's an image that's uploaded. +1!

/Kim A

Hey Kim,

Just added the "GetFileSize" extension to uComponents (here).  We've already got extensions for "GetImageHeight" and "GetImageWidth" - check out the docs. There's also one for getting the <img> tag itself: "GetImageHtml".

Cheers, Lee.

Ooh didn't see them Lee. My bad. But great work on the GetFileSize-extension! :)

Will check it out soon.
