Title: Uploading files loc:AcceptTypes
Post by: rjolda on October 13, 2025, 02:20:50 AM

Hi
C11
NT14.31

I want to limit the file types that get up loaded in the entry type fileupload  to jpg, pdf and bmp.
 
There is a local variable whichi is :     loc:AcceptTypes = 'image/*'
This is set in the template if I check allow images to be uploaded.

How and where can I limit them to uploading ONLY  jpg, pdf and bmp files?
THanks,
ROn


BTW it is embedded in here so I do not have a chance to edit it:
 If Not (1=0)  ! SecFieldHideStateRtn
    ! --- FILE UPLOAD ---
    loc:readonly = Choose(loc:viewonly,'readonly','')
    loc:javascript = ''  ! MakeFormJavaScript
    loc:capture = net:Environment
    loc:AcceptTypes = 'image/*'
    loc:UseHTML5Uploader = 1
    If loc:UseHTML5Uploader = 0 and loc:viewonly = 0
      packet.append(p_web.CreateInput('File','JSRV:Envelope_photoname',p_web.GetSessionValueFormat('JSRV:Envelope_photoname'),loc:fieldclass,loc:readonly,loc:extra,,loc:javascript,p_web.PicLength('@s199'),'Press to select or take a picture of keys or envelope to upload','dropPhoto',,'',,,,'SM_UpdateJ_SRVREQ_SMALL_SCREEN',loc:AcceptTypes,loc:Capture,'')  & p_web.CRLF)
    ElsIf loc:viewonly = 0
      loc:fieldclass = p_web.combine(loc:fieldclass,' nt-fileinput')

Hi,
Found it below - just have to uncheck Images and use the "Custom" field.  Just have to figure out syntax now!

Solved,
'application/jpg,application/png,application/pdf'  is the syntax.  However, this will limit the files to pick from to those file types.
The user can use "All files' and upload something else.  So, they can get around it. 
This is where the code above from Osquiabro comes in.  If someone overrides the suggested file types and actually uploads something like a BMP file, then his code will intercept it and delete it with a message.
