Title: upload area
Post by: fstltna on 19.01.2025 19:32:04
I added some allowed file types to the upload area but it I s still only showing the default allowed. Is there something else I need to do?

Hi
Just for clarity you were using the Files option which allows you to add files for making into Downloads.  If the file extensions were listed in 'Uploads- Other allowed File Extensions' or 'Uploads - Allowed Image Extensions' then they were successfully converted into Downloads.
But if the extensions were NOT list then the upload does not work.

This the defined action of the Files facility see Using the Files facility
One solution is to add the extra extensions to option 'Uploads- Other allowed File Extensions'
Alternatively if you look at the documentation you can use say FileZilla or your site File Manager to upload to the jdownloads directory.

Here is my "other allowed files" list:
zip,rar,pdf,doc,txt,hpkg,tgz,7z,lha,csv,ace,hqx,sit,toast,iso

Any ideas what to do or give you access to my config?

Hi
I have had no trouble loading up files with extensions csv and iso from the backend - they are in  category Other Files. I was a super user.  Is the problem for other users in different user groups?
Please advise
