"Art" Type files/images & Validation

[Jay10]

We can upload file types such as "gif" and "jpg" but not "art". What do I need to do so the system, will accept "Art" Type files/images?



I prefer that my users be able to upload images without waiting for "Validation" from me, so where do I go to disable the "validation" feature?


Thanks.

What is .art? Never heard it before.
To add new file types add the extension the settings to "Valid file extensions". You have to add the mime types too. Do this in "includes/upload_definitions.php". Simply add a new line like this:

Code: [Select]

$mime_type_match['art'] = array("mime/type");
Replace mime/type with the mime type of the .art files.
Maybe you will find the right mime type here:

You can set the permissions for "Direct Upload" in the category edit screen.
