How can I add more allowed file extensions?

[Xyu BAM]

unfortunetly there are great many different mime types for common extensions, wich may vary on different web servers.
and in some cases it may be different on what system or what program was used to create sertain file...

Hi,
  I have tried to add AMR format file and this error comes

Error uploading image file: BabyCry.amr
BabyCry.amr: Invalid file type (amr, application/octet-stream)

so I added the mime as u told and it was showing like this

$mime_type_match['amr'] = array("application/octet-stream");

and then i have also made a file with amr.html in templates/default/media/ but facing the same problem in uploading the AMR format file coming this error even

Error uploading image file: BabyCry.amr
BabyCry.amr: Invalid file type (amr, application/octet-stream)

[TXtaholic]

well here's what i did exactly
 in includes/upload_definitions.php
i added the following

Code: [Select]

$mime_type_match['3gp'] = array("video/quicktime");
and then i created html templates 3gp.html and i added that to media folder in my default template
and here's its code

Code: [Select]

<!-- Template file for 3GPP Files --><OBJECT id=JavaPlug0 height=280 width=300 classid=clsid:CFCDAA03-8BE4-11cf-B84B-0020AFBBCCFA>
              <PARAM NAME="SRC" VALUE="{media_src}"><PARAM NAME="CONTROLS" VALUE="ImageWindow,ControlPanel">
              <param name="_ExtentX" value="7938">
              <param name="_ExtentY" value="7408">

and from settings  in the Valid file extensions  i added 3gp near jpg

3) Open templates/<your templates>/media/ folder. Make sure you have a template with name of your new extension. (in our example there should be mp3.html template)
    If there is none, then create one. I can not tell you what should be inside that template, because every extension must be handled differently, but you can look in other templates and see how they done it.

Hi! I did it with .rar, .doc and .ace extensions.. and they are working correctly, but i donīt want to show {media_icon} in the site of the download (I look zip template),   i would like to show the thumbnail image from the file. Do you understand to me? how could i do it?

[V@no]

Apperently 4images does not support this...
I'll see if this could be changed though...

[ccsakuweb]

then will you create a mod?  I tried it ... but when it put {thumbnail}  the site show the random thumbnail 

[V@no]

Ok, here is a quick and dirty fix:
in includes/functions.php find:

Code: [Select]

    "thumbnail" => get_thumbnail_code($image_row['image_media_file'], $image_row['image_thumb_file'], $image_row['image_id'], $image_row['cat_id'], $image_row['image_name'], $mode, $show_link),Comment it out or remove it.
Then scroll up a few lines untill you find:

Code: [Select]

  $site_template->register_vars(array(Insert above:

Code: [Select]

  $site_template->register_vars(array(
    "thumbnail" => get_thumbnail_code($image_row['image_media_file'], $image_row['image_thumb_file'], $image_row['image_id'], $image_row['cat_id'], $image_row['image_name'], $mode, $show_link),
  ));Now you should be able use {thumbnail} tag in the media templates.

wow!!! it works!!! thank you a lot!!! 

[ccsakuweb]

i have another question... i would like to show the URL to the autor in the media templates for .gif and .jpg extensions. And only show the url to the author, which would be the condition so that it worked?
