Truncate File Name?

[amayne]

In datapage > tabular report > results page...

 

for the file datatype, is it possible to modify the layout to truncate at x characters?  I know this is possible for text or url, but it would be nice to do the same for long file names.

 

maybe is it possible to hyperlink to a filetype field in an html block?

Hello allen, 

 

I think there is an option to "Enable custom hyperlink text", so you can select any text for your file name, such as "image.jpg"

Thanks for your response, but I prefer not to use a static file display name.

 

I had a play, & came up with this html block.  I would be interested to know if it can be done in a more concise or 'correct' way.

var str1 = '[@field:SC_uploadCustomerContract]';
if(str1.length > 36) {
    str1 = str1.substring(4,36)+"...";
}
document.write("<a href='[@field:SC_uploadCustomerContract/]'>"+str1+"</a>");
