Large file upload limit warning #598

Open jgold723 opened 5 years ago

jgold723 commented 5 years ago

I see how I can limit the size of file uploads, but this doesn't generate any feedback/warning to the user. I find users will attach a large image to an external form, submit it and then go on their merry way when the submission completes (but without the image). Worse, I have no idea when I'm looking at the submission that they had intended to upload an image.

Is there a way to warn them of the limit or stop the submission if their attached image is too large?

Or, even better, a module that would downsize the image?

I agree, this would be really useful I've often thought the same. At this point there isn't any way to prevent it but you can make it a little clearer by adding comments to the field about the field size.

What type of form do you have? API / direct submission / Form Builder form?

But really, like you said, it needs to be handled in the code to prevent them continuing.

Hi Ben:

It’s a direct submission form.

I did find some very basic Javascript that will at least issue a warning about large file sizes, so I’ll put that in my form for now.
