Protected function UploadBase->validateName should be public
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When uploading a file using the UploadBase.php class, the getTitle() function will return the title of the uploaded file or null if the title is invalid for some reason. However, to figure out why the title is invalid, you have to access the member variable mTitleError or call the function validateName(). Both are protected though so they can't be called by external classes.

The easiest fix would be to make validateName() public instead of protected.

What do you mean by external classes?can you highlight some classes

I mean any class that is not part of the UploadBase class (so it can't call protected functions or members on an UploadBase object). If you, for example, build an extension that uses an UploadBase instance, there is no way to get the title validation error.
