what's new
+ (expert mode) Real Folder Menu -> Advanced -> "Upload filter mask"

Uploading a file that "doesn't" comply to the upload filter mask produces an internal HFS %reason% of "Mismatch upload filter" when the upload fails.  To most people, they have no idea what "mismatch upload filter" means.  Can we have a more meaningful message like "that file extension not allowed" or something like that or better yet give us the option to create our own %reason% message for a failed "Upload filter mask".

The "Upload filter mask" setting seems to save the mask but when you go back to check what upload filter masks you have selected, the field is empty - see attached.

This feature is a good idea.

The allowed referer feature works much better now except if the user is set to ignore limits they are still limited by this. I'm not too sure that is a bad thing though because most of the time you have to be in the page generated by hfs so it is automatically allowed anyway.

The only way you are affected by that is when you use a http://user:password@your_site/folder/file

I also think that the upload filter mask is a very good idea.

The point is that the mask is not only useful for file extension. You may also forbid special filenames.
It's ok for me to let the user enter a reason if we don't find a good generic message.
Should this reason be entered for every folder you filter?

rejetto what do i need to enter in upload filter mask to forbid uploading of hfs.diff.tpl? (this was reason for creating this feature)

I haven't thought about forbidding special filenames and probably won't use that here.  But I will make use of masking file extensions.  If I'm masking upload file extensions the reason for upload failure would be the same for every upload folder I filter even though the masks for each upload folder may be different.

EDIT
It was working fine yesterday.  Today, the upload filter mask feature is Broken.  It's not working at all.  Don't know why.  All files uploaded that should have failed are successful.

nothing. if no mask is used, the mask \hfs.* is applied by default.

please, tell me how to reproduce the problem

Don't know what happened but now it is working again.  I'll report if this happens again.

In a post above you asked what might be a good generic %reason% for file extensions and special filenames instead of "Mismatch upload filter".  Maybe something like:

"that file extension or filename not allowed"

[rejetto]

File name or extension forbidden
?

[maverick]

Sounds OK to me.

File name or extension forbidden
?

i wanna forbid uploading file hfs.diff.tpl (because somebody uploads this file to my upload folder and this affects on my templae in the folder)
