I am trying to change restrictions after the applet has been initialized, but even though the properties are updated (which I can see if I read the value back out) they are not being used.

Specifically I am trying to change the MaxFileCount (as if a user decides to do something they are allowed to upload more or less files).

Initially set as:

Code:
    restrictions: {
        maxFileCount: 4
    },


Then later changed to:

Code:
$au.uploader('Uploader1').restrictions.maxFileCount = 2;


Reading the value returns 2, although the uploader still allows 4 images to be selected. I was previously using version 6 which allowed this, has this functionality been removed on version 8?

Hello ukwebsites,

You should get/set the value with Upload Suite 8 at runtime like this:
Code:

$au.uploader('uploaderID').restrictions().maxFileCount(value);
value = $au.uploader('uploaderID').restrictions().maxFileCount();

You can read more about it here: http://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/JA_P_J_$au_restrictions_maxFileCount.htm

Thank you, that has done it.

However, it also brings up another question - since different user actions on the page change the amount of images they can upload, how can I set the uploader limit to zero/no files, as a "0" value is classified as unlimited?

Hello ukwebsites,

You can not set limit to "zero/no files" with the Upload Suite 8. Perhaps, you should change your application logic because there is no reason to use Upload Suite if you need to set maxFileCount limit to "no files".

Thank you for your reply, seems a little odd that this feature was taken out on later versions (as it worked on v. 6).

Another problem this creates is that every time the maxFileCount is changed it clears the current selection, is there a way to stop this from happening?

Hi ukwebsites,

The selection is cleared because the Uploader applies new restriction and updates panes to meet it.
