File Limit Plug-in


This plug-in allows administrators to place restrictions on the size and type of file created using a specific asset factory.

If a user, for example, creates or uploads a new file using an asset factory, this plug-in checks to see if the file extension is .doc and that the file size is no larger than 1MB. If either of these conditions are not satisfied, then the asset is not created and a message is displayed to the user explaining why.

To activate this plug-in:

  1. In the Administration area select Asset Factories.

  2. Select a current asset factory, or create a new one by selecting “New Asset Factory”.

  1. On the “Plugins” tab, select “File Limit Plugin” from the “Add Plugin” drop down. Click the green plus sign to add the plug-in.

  1. Add one or both of the following parameters:

    Size – Setting this value will require that files created by this asset factory not be larger than this size (in kilobytes).


    Filename Regex – Setting this value will require files created by this asset factory to match this regular expression.
