InputfieldFile.module filename preview too short

[Henner7]

Good morning,

there is a function getDisplayBasename in InputfieldFile.module which has a default parameter $maxLength = 25. However I can not see to change this value as from the backend. I suggest, to set the default value to 100 (nowadays screens are larger) or making this parameter available to the backend.

Anybody knows if there is a bugtracker in processwire where I can add feature requests or improvements?

Welcome to the forums @Henner7,

The link @abdus gave is actually for bug reports. Feature requests go here: https://github.com/processwire/processwire-requests/issues

There is already a request to remove the default truncation: https://github.com/processwire/processwire-requests/issues/83

Besides the solution from BitPoet that you'll find in the feature request, you can disable truncation for all File inputfields by adding a hook in /site/ready.php:

$wire->addHookBefore('InputfieldFile::render', function(HookEvent $event) {
    $inputfield = $event->object;
    $inputfield->noShortName = true;
});

Thank you so much for your fast reply. I am glad that I can rely on such a good community.

@tpr's AdminOnSteroids can fix it along with a useful related tweak:

https://github.com/rolandtoth/AdminOnSteroids/wiki#filefieldtweaks

"Disable filename truncation for File fields: filenames displayed are cut to 20 characters by default. This tweak removes this limitation and shows the full name. If enabled, the delete button is not positioned to the right but right after the filename to avoid display issues when the filename spans to multiple rows."
