[eluser]himalking[/eluser]
hi,
can I change or get every error message when upload using the Upload class

so, what I want to do exactly is

rather than display

"The file you are attempting to upload is larger than the permitted size"

I want to display the allowed size

allowed size 2MB

and for example istade of

The filetype is not allowed

I want

allowed types (PNG | JPG | GIF)

thanx in advance

Hi hilmaking,
I have the same question.
Were you able to solve it?

Thank you

How to use the upload class:

How to use the form validation class (how to create custom error messages):
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...ation.html

Everything you want to know is on a combination of those two pages.

Thanks BrokenLegGuy

I cannot see how to combine these two libraries.

Form validation library let me change the messages for each rule.
However, the file uploading library uses another rules for validation. These are the ones that I'd like to change the error message.

Okay, then I think what you're looking for is this file

system/language/[your language]/upload_lang.php and the error messages are there.

Let me know.

Thanks a lot Ed!!!

It worked like a charm. I just needed to check this http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...guage.html

I copied upload_lang.php from system to application, and edited the file there.

I haven't made it to that section of my "study the documentation" quest. Well I should say I haven't needed to go over that section yet but I think I'm going to look over the language class tonight.

You learn something new everyday.
