I created a folder (actually a folder within a folder within a folder) and used ftp to upload pdf, doc, and htm files into it.  The file manager will display the list of files in the directory, but it shows only the doc and pdf files.  I have added htm, html, and mp3 to the allowed extensions in the host settings misc section, restarted the system, done numerous file manager and page refreshes, done numerous file manage resyncs with the recursion box checked, but nothing seems to work.  I also added the htm and html extensions to the Config.default DocumentManager.SearchPatterns element for the Telerik  HtmlEditorProvider in case that matters.  Nothing seems to do the trick.  They also do not show up in the documents module file list nor the document manager in the HTML module editor.

I also could not find a nice admin manual on the file manager module like the one on the documents module.

Short of writing my own module, anybody got any suggestions for me that will allow my users of the document module to include htm files in a document list?

Thanks,
Bill

I *really* hate it when problems fix themselves overnight after I've spent hours on them the day before and nothing has worked!

Actually I think I did something this morning that worked.  I was looking at the files table this morning and there were 307 files there (results of a Files.Count() in LINQPad).  I usually use Firefox as a browser (version 3.6.12), but as I already had a bunch of tabs open in Firefox this morning (none was a login to the site I am working on), I opened an Internet Explorer 8 (version 8.0.7600.16385) and logged into the site using a SuperUser login.  I then did a recursive Synchronize Files from the host root using the file manager on the host menu.  After that I did a recursive Synchronize Files from the Portal Root using the file manager on the admin menu.

Much to my surprise I saw the missing *.htm files in the File Manager just where they were supposed to be!  They were also visible from a user level documents module add document just like they were supposed to be!  I went back into LINQPad and repeated the Files.Count() and this time I got a result of 418 instead of 307, so I'm thinking that the recursive Synchronize files worked.

I don't know why the sync worked today and not yesterday.  Was it that it doesn't work from Firefox?  Was it that there were sessions on the server that needed to time out?  Something else?  I don't know.

Anyway, I'm glad there's one less roadblock to getting this project moving along!
