Support needed to upload word document & other documents

[kapsmaze]

Hi

I am geeting this error.

Error uploading image file:
Storyboard.doc: Invalid file type (doc, application/msword)

I have gone through the "Adding File Extensions" post

i have mime included and i also have the corresponding doc.html in the media folder.

What is it that i am doing wrong.

The same thing works for PDF Files.

Also please suggest what can be done to avoid such errors...

try the following like in this example : http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=7277.msg56938#msg56938

1. add doc as new file extension in your ACP -> Settings -> Valid file extensions

2. for doc-files add the following code line into your includes/upload_definitions.php

Code: [Select]

$mime_type_match['doc'] = array("application/msword");

3. create a new doc.html in templates/<your_template>/media/

4. create a new doc-icon as doc.gif in templates/<your_template>/icons/

... thats all ... mawenzi
