With Evonne's new theme changes, lengthy filenames wrap around quite nicely, so I no longer see any need to truncate them at all. I'll submit a patch to eliminate the limit on the display of filenames. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

Hi Aaron, please also add -theme/raw/templates/collectionnav.tpl When I change '30' to '60' I get the preferred results as per two screenshots. Your solution sound much better but this could be a temporary workaround. If you are short on time, I could submit a bug fix. ** Attachment added: collectnav_before.PNG https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1046750/+attachment/3743745/+files/collectnav_before.PNG -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 1046750] Re: Show more of the file name
So, to be clear, we're talking about extending the file length displayed in: - artefact/file/lib.php - theme/raw/form/filelist.tpl - artefact/file/blocktype/filedownload/theme/raw/filedownload.tpl Is that right? The truth is, Mahara puts no limit on the length of filenames uploaded. (They're stored in artefact.title, which is a binary text column, which in theory is more or less unlimited; in practice it's something like a couple billion characters.) So any length limit we pick is going to an arbitrary cutoff. I'm all for raising that arbitrary cutoff if people think it would make the site look better, though. :-D There are a couple of other things we could do to help out with this as well: - put a title attribute (i.e. mouseover text) on the shortened name, which has the full name - use the CSS3 text-overflow attribute (supported in all modern browsers): http://caniuse.com/text-overflow - but the problem with text-overflow is that it puts ellipses at the END of the filename, which obscures the file suffix - find some JS library that will auto-expand/hide the text with ellipses in the middle (I didn't find one in a quick Google search) Anyway, just let me know if I've identified all the places where the filename length should change, and I'll see about upstreaming it.

Hi, Just wondering if there's any progress in this filename display issue reaching core code?

[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 1046750] Re: Show more of the file name
Hi Kristina, Just wondering if this might also be an approach to address the issue with filenames being displayed with video and other objects - https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1034382 If the code suggested by Dirk could be tweaked with an 'if' statement that modified $child-title = str_shorten_text($child-title, 20); to $child-title = str_shorten_text($child-title, 0); if the object type was an embedded block rather than a linked file Of course I could be wildly wrong as these are two different object types (file links and blocks) - but the principle might be similar?

[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 1046750] Re: Show more of the file name
Hi Gordon, We' d have to see what a developer says. My code reading ability doesn't extend to anything further. ;-) But I would say they might be separate things. They are definitely separate blocks, but if the name of the video file is also shortened too quickly, that should be fixed there as well. However, making it optional to display it is a different thing.
