Restrict selectable file-type in asset field

Support

Hello!

quick question: is it possible to restrict the file-type which can be selected by the user in an asset field? Like: only jpg and png. Or only pdf…

Thanks!

You can’t restrict, which files are selectable, but you can restrict the upload via config.yaml.

# define allowed file types for uploads (global)
assets.allowed_uploads: png, jpg, jpeg

# define allowed file types for uploads (for user groups)
groups:
    author:
        $admin: false
        $vars:
            assets.allowed_uploads: png, jpg, jpeg

If you’re looking for a way to apply this kind of filter, i found that it works like this :

On your assets field, click the “options” tab, then insert the filter you need.

For images :
{
filter: {
type: 'image'
}
}

For videos :
{
filter: {
type: 'video'
}
}

For pdf :
{
filter: {
mime: 'application/pdf'
}
}

Multiple types :
{
filter: {
$or: [
{ type: 'image' },
{ mime: 'application/pdf' }
]
}
}

Hope it helps !
