    Restrict certain file extensions on file upload

    Hello,

    Can anyone tell me if it's possible to restrict the type of files that can be uploaded via the Contour File uploader. I only want a small selection of files to be permitted such as .jpg, .gif, .docx etc.

    It seems as though there's no RegEx on the file upload like there is on other fields.

    I'm using Umbraco 7.2.2 and the latest version of Contour.

    Many Thanks

    Paul

    Paul,

    I did this ages ago https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/cogworks-cogfilteredupload it may work with latest contour, else you can download the dll decompile source using dotpeet and create your own.

    Regards

    Ismail

    Hi Ismail,

    The CogWorks dll doesn't seem to work with the latest version of Umbraco Forms. I did take a peek in .Net Reflector but what I couldn't work out is where the file name is checked against the regex. Does this have to be done in the frontend control?

    Thanks

    Paul

    Ismail, super interested in this for the new umbraco forms... any chance of you tweaking it up for us non-dev types?

    Hi Guys.

    We had a requirement for this recently in the latest version of Forms, so developed something similar to Ismail's from previous versions to achieve. If there is still interest and a requirement for it then let me know and we'll get it shared.

    Kind regards,

    Dave.

    I am also interested as this has just come up.

    This should be built into forms. The File Upload field type should much more options than it does now (which is 0).
