I want to specify a size for each remotely linked "document", and there doesn't seem to be a way to manually do this.

I'm using I'm using Documents module to list some WMVs we have for download.  The WMVs live on another (remote) server, so I'm using the external link instead of uploading the files.  The thing is, I still want to indicate the file size, but there seems to be no way to do this.

I propagated the Documents table manually, and I noticed there wasn't even a Size column.  I grabbed the source for 03.01.05 and see that it binds to the columns "FormatSize":

...
   Case DocumentsDisplayColumnInfo.COLUMN_SIZE
                AddDocumentColumn("Size", "FormatSize")

...
    Private Sub AddDocumentColumn(ByVal Title As String, ByVal DataField As String)

So I added the FormatSize column to the table Documents, and filled it with some data like 123273.  I am still getting no Sizes to show up?

I am going to run profiler to see if it's even SELECTING that column, but before I waste too much time on this I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this or has a fix for me?

Thanks :)

"Fixed"...

First off, it's not the "FormatSize" column but the "Size" column, LEFT JOIN'd from the FILES table where the size is stored.

Per documentation the filesize only works with local/uploaded files.  I modified the sproc GetDocuments to pull back my new column in Documents table so at least my sizes are showing now.  Unfortunately the  "FormatSize" method is being ever so helpful by dividing my Sizes by 1000 to display them in Kb, so my 200MB movies are showing with a size of "200,000.00" :P

Anyone tell me where this FormatSize method is, so I can Size=Size/1024/1024 ?

Also.. Found out you can change the column titles by changing the values in the /DesktopModules/Documents/Appl_LocalResources/Document.Ascx.Resx file.

Hope this helps someone else, any help on the Format function used on the size would be useful. thx
