Changing allowed file extensions globally

Hi,

There isn't a way to automatically add an upload extension to every wysiwyg in every section editor.

This has to be done one at at time or you could download your /data/schema/ files for the section editors you wanted to add the extension to, open them in a code editor and change this:

'allowedExtensions' => 'gif,jpg,png,wmv,mov,swf',

to this:

'allowedExtensions' => 'gif,jpg,png,wmv,mov,swf, pdf',

Then save and upload back to your server.

Hope this helps!

Hey Damon,

I think it would be good to have this change done globally for the next CMSB update.  Really, I think wmv, mov, swf are not required, but PDF is a very common requirement.  Or maybe adding a section to settings that allows this to be controlled globally?

Referred this to Dave for possible inclusion in a future release of CMSB. Thanks guys!

Hi All, 

Currently the default value is stored in /lib/menus/database/editField_functions.php

and it looks like this:

$defaultValue['allowedExtensions']     = 'gif,jpg,png,wmv,mov,swf,pdf';

So if you change that it will change the list of allowed extensions that appear by default when you add a new field.

Hope that helps!

Even better than my method!  Thanks.  :)
