Default Admin Copy of filetypes_.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<e107Filetypes>
    <class name='253' type='zip,gz,jpg,png,gif' maxupload='2M' />
</e107Filetypes>

Generated Example of filetypes_.xml

    <class name='254' type='jpg,zip' maxupload='2M' />
</e107Filetypes>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<e107Filetypes>

</e107Filetypes>

Warning

Only when you have generated and deployed the file correctly to e107_admin will the screen display the allowed filetypes.

File Types

The file types and maximum file size which can be uploaded are set by user class. This option generates a file called ../e107_media/temp/filetypes_.xml, which must be copied or moved to directory ../e107_admin/ and renamed to filetypes.xml before it takes effect.

One definition per class is permitted.

Note that these definitions apply site-wide, even if the public uploads feature is disabled.

This page helps you create a file for managing file upload permissions. The file is saved as ../e107_media/temp/filetypes_.xml, and must be copied to ../e107_admin/filetypes.xml before it takes effect.

Options

The complete public uploads system may be disabled here. Flatfile storage is generally appropriate (otherwise the maximum file size is hard-limited to 500kb). The maximum filesize overrides any definitions set in filetypes.xml. Public uploads may be restricted to a particular user class, but these settings also apply to other areas of the site where uploads may be permitted, such as news and forms.

Uploads Enabled?

No public uploads will be permitted if disabled

  • Yes

Maximum file size

Absolute maximum upload size in bytes. Further limited by settings from php.ini, and by the settings in filetypes.xml (upload_max_filesize = 2M, post_max_size = 8M )
