Replace special characters with underscores while uploading

Hello

I would like to ask you how to rename a file while uploading if the file has special characters in it. Like if a file name contains space or any special character, it should be replaced with underscore.

If I have to create a plugin to do this, can you help me how can i create a plugin to do this.

Please make sure I cannot change the source code of ckfinder.dll

Thanks

Re: Replace special characters with underscores while upload

I have got the solution for the above query. It requires a plugin that will do the file rename using file.move() function.

But now the problem. i want to show the popup message that the image is renamed, if file is renamed after removing special characters.

Thanks.

Re: Replace special characters with underscores while upload

The AfterFileUpload event is fired after sending response to the client, so there will be a problem with showing a popup message to the user.

The only way to do it in this case is to modify _source\Connector\CommandHandlers\FileUploadCommandHandler.cs and add there replacing special characters plus the following line:

iErrorNumber = Errors.UploadedFileRenamed;

(until we create a better solution to allow such customization).
