Get file size from a Group's image

sydney22 · 2022-06-24T03:25:26.407Z

I need to get the file size for a group’s image to use in a plugin. I have an uploader nested in a group from which I could easily get the file size:

file_size_uploader

I have the uploader in a group for formatting and file management purposes, so I really don’t want to have the uploader by itself. Unfortunately, the plugin I’m using will not process the image from the setup above since it’s in a group. Is there any way I can get the file size from the group’s image?

file_size_group

Hey @sydney22 ,

here is what you can do:

in group give proper type of content and data source
add file uploader in that and give content to that
add input(or any element you want to show file size in) and give dynamic placeholder “file uploader’s file size”

as far as i have understood your problem, this could be the solution.
hope this will help you.

Thank you, @Sart. I guess what I’m trying to do is have the plugin field in the screenshot recognize the picture uploader’s file size despite being nested in a group. I tried to bring the picture uploader to the front but that did not work.

i don’t think you will need any plugin here. just use the file uploader in the input forms
here i have used input field to show the file size.

I should rephrase- the plugin is being used to post the image to Twitter. What I need is to have the plugin validate the file size that I pass it so that the image will be posted. Since the image is nested in a group it’s not being recognized.

I tried to set a custom state on the group to the picture uploader’s file size but that did not work either.

I hope this will help:

[FREE / RELEASED] Get File Info / Head REQUEST Plugins

Hi! A lot of users seem to look for a way to get file info. Here’s a plugin for that Plugin will: generate a Head Request to url and give back informations about a file. Content-Type Content-Length (in bytes) Last-Modified There’s one element that can be used to get file info or you can use action “Get file info”. Be aware that using element may lead to CORS issue. So better to use Action that will not have this issue. Demo here: Draweb - Plugins Feel free to send any question if you nee…
