Dont post topic/reply if filetype is forbidden

    Ahoi,

    if a user submits a topic/reply with a file type attached that is not allowed the topic/reply is still posted and a errormessage is shown.
    Although I know I can hide the error message this behaviour seems a little confusing to users and I would prefer the message to not be posted. Instead the user should come back to the topic/reply form with an error message.

    Is there a way to do this with this plugin? If not by the build in options can you point me in directions (filters/actions …) how I can modify the plugin behaviour via custom code.

    Thanks
    BJ

    Hi,

    I am not sure if that can be done with this plugin, without a lot of changes in how it processes the attachments on save. But, the Pro version of this plugin GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has advanced validation is done before the submit, including showing a preview of the file (if supported), limit file types, and block form submit if the file type is wrong.

    Regards,
    Milan
