Dear Support,

I have a problem with URL validation. I used the basic 'url' rule to check if the inserted text is in URL format, but I have no idea how to check the mime-type (only video URL is allowed) as the additional rule - 'extension' doesn't seem to be working.

I will appreciate any help on this matter.
Best,
Kasia

Hi Kasia,

Which field type are you using? How do you setup the validation?

Hi Anh,

Please look at my code below:

I'm using "url" type field as the videos will be stored in the other place.
Thank you

Hi Kasia,

If you want to verify mime-type, it's best to write a custom validation rule for entered URL.

I created an example for checking with MP4 file:

For writing custom validation rule, please see this:
