Since nobody noticed Hervert question (which is the answere too ) I'll answere:

The news uploader is using class/uploader.php so mime types for the files uploaded needs to be defined (the defaults are jpg, png, gif, pdf zir, tar jtar (open file news/submit.php and look for (round line 326)



If you want your users to be able to attach some more file types, add those as changed here (WORD and EXCELL addition):



Some popular mime types to choose from:

application/pdf => PDF Document
image/x-png => PNG Image
video/vivo => VIVO Movie
application/x-compress => Compressed Zip File
video/x-msvideo => MS Video
text/html => HTML Page

Hi everyone,

I'm running News 1.31 and I replaced the code tzvook suggested in line 442 of the submit.php file, but I was getting an error when attempting to upload Excel files: Mimetype not allowed - applications vnd.ms-excel. After taking a closer look at the code, I realized it was missing a hyphen.

Here's the code I now have in my submit.php file on line 442 which allows me to upload Excel files:



Thanks tzvook -- I wouldn't have known where to even look to make the change.
