Check Allowed Path

apply_filters( 'vikappointments_check_path_allowed', bool $allow, string $file, JModel $model )

Fires while checking whether the upload folder is allowed.

Description

Trigger hook to allow the plugins to extend the validation of a specific path, in order to support the upload on folders that are not supported by default.

NOTE: the system checks whether the folder of the file to upload is contained within the default list of accepted paths. For this reason, it is possible to use the following code in order to extend the list with an additional path.

if (!in_array($my_new_path, $model->allowedPaths))
{
    $model->allowedPaths[] = $my_new_path;
}

Parameters

$allow

(bool)  True to always allow the file upload, false to rely on the default algorithm.

$file

(string)  The file path to check.

$model

(JModel)  The model instance that handles the saving process.
