You are not allowed to upload (filename.pdf) the requested file type: application/force-download
I tried to find a solution here, but found none. Can anybody help?
Originally from Multi File Upload discussion:
This extension rocks. Would be nice to have a GUI so we can manually change the max number of uploads, and perhaps also some indication by the upload box that says how many files can be uploaded at once? I have to say that this, combined with ThickBox rocks
I have also been thinking a little regarding Attachments' extensions. I personally believe they should go into a subdirectory of the Attachments extension, so something like:
/extensions/Attachments/InlineImages /extensions/Attachments/MultiFileUpload /extensions/Attachments/AnotherNewAttchmentsExtension
After all, they all REQUIRE Attachments to work any way. Then we could perhaps also have their options GUIs selectable from a dropdown menu in the Attachments Extensions Options screen? It would keep things nice and neat and together in the attachment extensions area of the panel. I mean it's fine right now with only two extensions to Attachments, but what about when there are 5, 10, 16?
This is how I would envisage the admin side looking. The relevant section wouldn't show up if the extension isnt installed.
BTW If I may have a suggestion, could you also allow Excel (XLS, application/vnd.ms-excel) and PowerPoint (PPT, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint) files by default in the next release?
Hello, when posting a non-allowed file type I get this message: Some problems were encountered The requested discussion could not be found. I believe the error message is supposed to be something like "this file type is not allowed" or similar. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is it possible to configure this add-on to accept all file types?[edit] I just discovered that I also get the very same error message when deleting a discussion (the discussion gets deleted, and then the error displays). I guess the problem is related to my Vanilla configuration, and not the add-on...Disregard that - seems to be caused by me turning off Deleted comments visible for admins. The attachment-problem still persists...Now it's working - probably caused by a recent upgrade of my mediatemple server.
how to fix this issue?
Some problems were encountered
An error occured while creating a new attachment folder. Check your upload path permissions
How do I fix this problem?
(I know how to change permissions on files/folders via my FTP client, so if someone can guide me to the specific files/folders that need to be changed, I would greatly appreciate it. Keep in mind though that I changed all the permissions properly to setup my Vanilla forum, in strict accordance to the 3 step guidelines for setting up Vanilla. Please also note that I have another permissions problem reported here.)
Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Inside that folder, you need to create another folder called Attachments (note the uppercase A).
Then check the path in your admin panel for Attachment Settings, and make sure that it matches what you have on your server.
