Only msgValidationError is displayed when errors are triggered

[andreaf-tbm]

Non-default error messages (like msgInvalidFileExtension) aren't displayed in case of specific error (such as an invalid File Extension): it's always displayed only msgValidationError.

To reproduce use following code and select a file with an extension different from the ones specified (png, gif).

$(document).ready(function() {
        $("#test-upload").fileinput({
                'showPreview' : false,
                'allowedFileExtensions' : ['png','gif'],
                'msgInvalidFileExtension' : 'TEST MESSAGE'
        });
});

The validation error message is currently displayed inside the preview window.

Try with showPreview set to true.

Ok.
Probably documentation should provide this information.

Still... I don't care about preview (since I'm actually uploading zip files) but it'd be good to have those messages instead of a simple "File upload error"... am I missing something? Is there a configuration that can enable this kind of behaviour?

Will note an enhancement request for the scenario when showPreview is false. You still can edit the preview templates to achieve what you need... but you may want to wait for this update.

Ok... got to try it but I think is a good workaround.
I'll look forward this enhancement! :)

Thanks

Resolved via upgrade to release v2.6.0. Get the latest code. There is a new property elErrorContainer. You can set it to an identifier like #error-div or .error-class.

Check the last example in advanced section at the demo site for usage details.
