greetings,

I'm struggling with the upload of word documents in the news 1.44 module while pdf files are going smoothly.

When I upload I receive this error :

MIME type not allowed: application/msword


in filup.ini.php I changed subtype to the following

$subtype = "gif|jpe?g|png|bmp|video|audio|zip|
lzh|pdf|excel|msword|powerpoint|octet-stream|
x-pmd|x-mld|x-mid|x-smd|x-smaf|x-mpeg|x-shockwave";

I also tryed adding "word", "ms-word", "application/msword", "doc"

but I keep getting the same error.

Can anybody help me out ? I hope I'm giving enough information tnx anyway !

Hi Maarten,


I believe you need to modify the submit.php file as mentioned in this thread.

Course, I've been known to be wrong

tnx kristine, that did the job.

I found that thread earlier but thought it hadn't anything to do with my problem ...

So for this time, you weren't wrong

Man, I love it when I'm not wrong. *Scribbles event down on calendar*
