File extension request for Concrete 5.4

Permalink
Could we add f4v to the default list of allowed file extensions? It's basically the same as flv, but its the default extension when you use the encoder that comes with CS4. It would be great to use it without having to change the extensions so that Concrete lets you upload it.

Thanks!

you can do this currently by defining the UPLOAD_FILE_EXTENSIONS_ALLOWED in your site's config file (/config/site.php). Just add something like this:


define('UPLOAD_FILE_EXTENSIONS_ALLOWED', '*.f4v;*.flv;*.jpg;*.gif;*.jpeg;*.ico;*.docx;*.xla;*.png;*.psd;*.swf;*.doc;*.txt;*.xls;*.csv;*.pdf;*.tiff;*.rtf;*.m4a;*.mov;*.wmv;*.mpeg;*.mpg;*.wav;*.avi;*.mp4;*.mp3;*.qt;*.ppt;*.kml');


hope this helps

You can also change this via the dashboard, by going into the Dashboard > Files > Access page, and adding the extension to the list of extensions.

Oh yeah, I understand that. What I meant is that f4v is the *default* format when encoding Flash videos with Adobe's encoder. Rather than force users to add this themselves or rename their files, I thought it would make sense to include it in Concrete 5.4's default file extension list

Gotcha. That makes sense. We will do this for 5.4.1, as I have just (quietly) launched 5.4.
