[xwiki-users] attachement names
Hi My client has asked if there is anyway to increase the maximum number of characters in an attachment name. It appears to display up to 25 characters and then a ~.jpg or whatever. He wants the full name displayed. Thanks Edward
Hi, To do this you can increase the variable maxnamelength in the macro packName (macros.vm). JV. On Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 3:14 PM, Edward Laptop <[email protected]> wrote:

Actually you shouldn't change macros.vm. Instead, you should override attachmentsinline.vm and redefine this variable in there. More specifically, copy attachmentsinline.vm from templates/ to your skin folder, and add at the start of it: #set($maxnamelength = 1000) Or, just remove the call to packName from the file, just use $attach.filename

Thanks for reply. I see how what you wrote would work, and thanks for it, but why can't I just do it Jean-Vincents's way? That seemed to work fine.
