Longer file names cutoff in the admin

[Jim Bailie]

Hello. Does anyone have any idea how to get the whole file name to display in the admin?

InputfieldFile has several settings that don't have config fields in the admin. See here: https://github.com/processwire/processwire/blob/5609935e4ee96611965550e57d3139200de95c35/wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldFile/InputfieldFile.module#L20-L26
I'm not sure of the reasons why but perhaps the thinking is that they would only needed for specialised uses of the inputfield.

You could use a hook in /site/ready.php to add a config field for that setting to all files fields if you want to set it per field:

$wire->addHookAfter('InputfieldFile::getConfigInputfields', function(HookEvent $event) {
	/** @var InputfieldFile $inputfield */
	$inputfield = $event->object;
	/** @var InputfieldWrapper $wrapper */
	$wrapper = $event->return;
	/** @var InputfieldCheckbox $f */
	$f = $event->wire()->modules->get('InputfieldCheckbox');
	$f->name = 'noShortName';
	$f->label = 'Disable abbreviated filenames';
	$f->label2 = 'Disable abbreviated filenames in inputfield';
	$f->collapsed = Inputfield::collapsedBlank;
	$f->checked($inputfield->noShortName);
	$wrapper->add($f);
});

 

Or if you want to disable it for all file fields:

$wire->addHookAfter('InputfieldFile::renderReadyHook', function(HookEvent $event) {
	/** @var InputfieldFile $inputfield */
	$inputfield = $event->object;
	$inputfield->noShortName = true;
});

Wow. I'm starting to see a pattern here. Thanks again!
