How can I remove the "The image was resized to fit within the maximum allowed dimensions..." message without hacking core?

Question

By default, Drupal prints out a notification message that images exceeding the maximum dimensions were resized. I want to disable this message.

The relevant line is located in file_validate_image_resolution():

  drupal_set_message(t('The image was resized to fit within the maximum allowed dimensions of %dimensions pixels.', array('%dimensions' => $maximum_dimensions)));

Obviously, the quick way to do this is to put two little slashes right before the line. But I am trying to do this without hacking core. I copied the entire function into MYMODULE_file_validate_image_resolution(), then commented the lines out, but this had no effect. What's the right way to do this?

Answer 1

Disable Messages module helps you to disable any type of message in drupal.

It module has following features.

• Filter out messages that match a full text string exactly.
• Filter out messages that match a regular expression.
• Permissions to specifically hide all messages of a given type from any role.
• Disable all filtering for specific users.
• Disable all filtering for specific paths.
• Apply filtering only for specific paths.
• Debug system to get messages in the HTML without showing it to the end users.

Once you install the module you can see the configuration options at admin/config/development/disable-messages.

For your requirement just enter following text in "Messages to be disabled:" textarea.

The image was resized to fit within the maximum allowed dimensions of .*? pixels.

Note : Make sure necessary permission to be set like below.

1) You can remove the message in hook_file_validate, hook_theme_registry_alter or on page load:

  $message = t('YOUR MESSAGE');
  foreach ($_SESSION['messages']['status'] as $status => $statusmessage) {
    if ($message == $statusmessage) {
      unset($_SESSION['messages']['status'][$status]);
    }
  }

2) You can try to replace core validator of your image field widget with a custom one in #upload_validators using hook_field_widget_form_alter.

3) You can remove file_validate_image_resolution from #upload_validators and do your validation without message in hook_file_validate.

Answer 3

You can use hook_file_validate like this.

function mymodule_file_validate($file) {  
  if (form_get_errors()) {

    // Save errors
    $form_errors = form_get_errors();
    $drupal_errors = drupal_get_messages('error');
    // Clear form errors
    form_clear_error();

    foreach($drupal_errors['error'] as $key => $error) {
      if (in_array($error, $form_errors)) {
        // Unset form errors
        unset($drupal_errors['error'][$key]);
      }
    }

    // Rebuild drupal errors
    foreach($form_errors as $key => $message) {
      if(strpos($message, 'old message') !== false) {
        $message = str_replace('old message', 'new message', $message);
        $_SESSION['messages']['error'][$key] = $message;
        form_set_error($key, $message);
      } else {
        form_set_error($key, $message);
      }
    }
  }
}

I think it helps you.

Another way to do this would be to use a hook_form_user_register_alter to add your own submit handler, and within it be sure to call drupal_get_messages() with the clear_queue variable set to true. This will also clear out messages from the queue. Hope this helps!

Answer 5

alter the form your submitting

add another function in the $form[#submit] like so

$form['#submit'][] = 'yourFunction';

then and your function

function yourFunction(){
    drupal_get_messages();
    //you can also set your messages here.
}
