Limit the number of files that can be loaded and the file type to only allow images in FileUpload

This discussion is related to the FileUpload addon.

How to limit the number of files that can be loaded and the file type to only allow images using FileUpload?

I want to use File Upload to upload a picture for each discussion and show the pictures in the Discussions Board.

Wich one is the best way to do that?

We don't currently have a way to limit the number of files, but you can limit the file extensions with the following config:

$Configuration['Garden']['Upload']['AllowedFileExtensions'] = array('jpg','jpeg','gif','png');

Hi After a dig on finding where i can set up the allowed file extensions on fileupload plugin, i´ve realised that the file where we have to set is /conf/config-defaults.php

Around line 81 $Configuration['Garden']['Upload']['AllowedFileExtensions'] = array('txt','jpg','jpeg','gif','png','bmp','tiff','zip','gz','tar.gz','tgz','psd','ai','fla','swf','pdf','doc','xls','ppt','docx','xlsx','log','rar','7z');

@wilsoncortez: no, never edit the config-defaults.php, instead edit the /conf/config.php as also specified in the readme file in that folder.

Oops, sorry. I´ve read it now. But HalfCat this line mentioned by Todd isn´t on that file. Do I need to insert it in order to get control of extensions?

Second sorry if someone got my misleading comments :-(

Thank You HalfCat and if some MOD wants to delete my original post in order to get things right, please go on

@HalfCat forget to ask one ;)

Does the the "/conf/config.php" override the config-defaults.php?

Thanks

Yes. If it isn't there, just add it.

@HalfCat Thank you HalfCat :)

Howdy, Stranger!
