General Support: truncate in admin panel doesn't work

As the title says, the truncate doesn't work in the admin panel. Trying to shrink the name of the files within the gallery.

Thanks,
Andrew

still no replies? support board is dead. =( only thing plogger lacks is better support.

sidtheduck,

I installed/upgraded with the provided link-went into admin cp and chose the truncate=5 option and saved it and then cleaned cache from browse and the picture name is still more than 5 characters...here's my breadcrumb to a photo:

Sid,

anymore developments to get this to work properly?

I'm using the 599 trunk.

Sorry about that andrewjs18, it's been a little hectic around here.

To do the truncate filename in the 599 trunk, open plog-includes/plog-functions.php and find the following code (should be around line 1293):
function sanitize_filename($str) {
// Allow only alphanumeric characters, hyphen, and dot in file names
// Spaces will be changed to dashes, special chars will be suppressed, & the rest will be replaced with underscores
$special_chars = array ('#', '$', '%', '^', '&', '*', '!', '~', '"', '\'', '=', '?', '/', '[', ']', '(', ')', '|', '<', '>', ';', ':', '\\', ', ');
$str = str_replace($special_chars, '', $str);
$str = str_replace(' ', '-', $str);
return preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]/", "_", $str);
}
and change it to read:
function sanitize_filename($str) {
// Allow only alphanumeric characters, hyphen, and dot in file names
// Spaces will be changed to dashes, special chars will be suppressed, & the rest will be replaced with underscores
$special_chars = array ('#', '$', '%', '^', '&', '*', '!', '~', '"', '\'', '=', '?', '/', '[', ']', '(', ')', '|', '<', '>', ';', ':', '\\', ', ');
$str = str_replace($special_chars, '', $str);
$str = str_replace(' ', '-', $str);
$str = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]/", "_", $str);
if (intval($config['truncate']) > 0 && isset($str{intval($config['truncate'])})) {
$str = substr($str, 0, intval($config['truncate']));
}
return $str;
}
That should work for you!

Sorry, I should have checked my work. I missed an equals (=) sign on the 6th line from the bottom. I fixed my post above, so you can re-copy it and it should work for you.

Okay, didn't test it before. Sorry again. You need to define $config as a global variable. So your function code should now look like this:
function sanitize_filename($str) {
global $config;
// Allow only alphanumeric characters, hyphen, and dot in file names
// Spaces will be changed to dashes, special chars will be suppressed, & the rest will be replaced with underscores
$special_chars = array ('#', '$', '%', '^', '&', '*', '!', '~', '"', '\'', '=', '?', '/', '[', ']', '(', ')', '|', '<', '>', ';', ':', '\\', ', ');
$str = str_replace($special_chars, '', $str);
$str = str_replace(' ', '-', $str);
$str = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]/", "_", $str);
if (intval($config['truncate']) > 0 && isset($str{intval($config['truncate'])})) {
$str = substr($str, 0, intval($config['truncate']));
}
return $str;
}

andrewjs,

This will only work for newly uploaded photos, not existing ones. I could maybe come up with something that will cycle through all of your existing files, but it will take me a little while, since I am busy this weekend.
