james8547 Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 I used to be able to upload .xls files in my old invision forum. But for some reason, I'm not able to do that now. I went thru the forum settings a number of times now and I can't seem to locate that option. TIA Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 You will have to add a MIME type to the conf_mime_types.php file in the root folder of your forum. I don't know the exact syntax for doing so. Maybe one of the other TCH guys can help. I'll see if I can find the info for you. Quote
borfast Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 I'm not sure of the exact syntax either but I'd try adding this to the end of the allowed MIME types list, on the file Bruce mentioned: "application/excel" => array( 1, 'word.gif' , 'MS Excel doc' ) , or perhaps "application/msexcel" => array( 1, 'word.gif' , 'MS Excel doc' ) , Note that I used 'word.gif' as the icon for the MIME type because there's no icon for Excel. You can create your own and plave it under the <forums folder>/html/mime_types/ Quote
