BMP files are valid files when using Internet Explorer. But most other browser types
are not able to display BMP files correct. So – in an Internet scenario – it is a
good idea to prevent that BMP files can be uploaded to the MCMS Repository
There are two things to consider:
- upload as a local image from the file system
- upload to the resource gallery
Preventing upload of an BMP files from local file system to the ImagePlaceholderControl
To prevent upload of BMP files from the local file system to the ImagePlaceholderControl
an additional check needs to be added to the following file:
<CMS-InstallDir>\Server\IIS_CMS\WebAuthor\Dialogs\ResourceBrowser\ResourceBrowserCommon.js
The red lines needs to be added to the following routine: WBC_getLocalPath
function WBC_getLocalPath(strResType) {
document.NC_LocalForm.NC_FileData.focus();
document.NC_LocalForm.NC_FileData.blur();
var strLocalPath = document.NC_LocalForm.NC_FileData.value;
// Check for empty or all blanks filename
if (strLocalPath.split(" ").length == strLocalPath.length + 1) {
alert(L_NoFileSelected_ErrorMessage);
return null;
}
if ( strResType == IDS_RESTYPE_IMAGE ) {
// This array defines the valid image extensions
var arrayImageExt = new Array("gif", "jpg", "jpeg", "png", "bmp");
var strFileExt = strLocalPath.substring( strLocalPath.lastIndexOf(".")+1
).toLowerCase();
if (strFileExt == "bmp")
{
alert("BMP files are not supported! Please choose GIF, JPG or PNG
instead.");
return null;
}
for (var i = 0; i < arrayImageExt.length; i++) {
if (strFileExt == arrayImageExt[i]) {
return strLocalPath;
}
}
if (!confirm(L_InvalidImageType_ErrorMessage)) {
return null;
}
}
if ( strResType == IDS_RESTYPE_VIDEO ) {
// This array defines the valid video extensions
var arrayVideoExt = new Array("asf", "asx", "avi", "mov", "mpeg", "mpg",
"qt");
var strFileExt = strLocalPath.substring( strLocalPath.lastIndexOf(".")+1
);
for (var i = 0; i < arrayVideoExt.length; i++) {
if (strFileExt == arrayVideoExt[i]) {
return strLocalPath;
}
}
if (!confirm(L_InvalidVideoType_ErrorMessage)) {
return null;
}
}
return strLocalPath;
}
Preventing upload of BMP files to the resource gallery
To prevent upload of BMP files from the local file system to the ImagePlaceholderControl
an additional check needs to be added to the following file:
<CMS-InstallDir>\Server\IIS_CMS\WebAuthor\Dialogs\ResourceBrowser\Management\ResourceCreate.aspx
The red lines needs to be added to this file:
...
<!--
function WBC_onPreview(strResType)
{
WBC_previewLocalResource(strResType);
return false;
}
function WBC_onCancel()
{
window.close();
return false;
}
function SG_validateType()
{
document.NC_LocalForm.NC_FileData.focus();
document.NC_LocalForm.NC_FileData.blur();
var strLocalPath = document.NC_LocalForm.NC_FileData.value;
var strFileExt = strLocalPath.substring(
strLocalPath.lastIndexOf(".")+1 ).toLowerCase();
if (strFileExt == "bmp")
{
alert("BMP files
are not supported! Please choose GIF, JPG or PNG instead.");
return false;
}
}
