Conditional abort of upload?

[kmccoy]

Hi!

I want to limit the total size of all files uploaded by a user to 5 megabytes. How can I stop the JQFileUpload component from uploading a file, if I know that it would exceed the user's quota?

Example: The user has already uploaded 4.5 MB and then tries to upload a 1 MB file: abort. If the user has 4.5 MB uploaded and then uploads another 20 KB then do not abort.

I know how to get the current total size of all files uploaded, but I need to know how to abort an upload in one of the event handlers for this component.

Hi Kevin

Have you tried with JQUploadOptions.SizeLimit?

This will not work for me, since I need to limit the total size of all files uploaded in a session - not just a single file.

I don't want people uploading gigabytes of files, one 5-Megabyte file at a time.

Hi again

You can use Upload.JQUploadOptions.OnComplete

Check Upload.FileNames file sizes, to eventually show an error message and disable future uploads.
