Hello all,

Loving DNN fo rmy family website, and I must admit I am a total newb. Recently I ran into an issue where with Repository when trying to allow my family members to upload family videos we get a message stating that .wmv, .mov, . mpeg4, are all unsupported file types and to contact my hosting provider on how to allow access. I contacted GoDaddy about the issue. They claim that I should be able to upload those videos without any problems and suggest that it may be DNN, or this module, that is not allowing me to upload.

Exact error message:

The File Is A Restricted File Type. Valid File Types Include ( *.docx, *.xlsx, *.pptx, *.swf, *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.jpe, *.gif, *.bmp, *.png, *.doc, *.xls, *.ppt, *.pdf, *.txt, *.xml, *.xsl, *.css, *.zip ). Please Contact Your Hosting Provider If You Need To Upload A File Type Which Is Not Supported

Is there anyway to add permission to upload the file types my family wants to use.

Again, sorry for being a newb and any help is appreciated.

Hello,

to alter the list of files that dotnetnuke supports for uploads, log in as host, go to host->host settings, expand out the advanced settings->other settings section and add the list to the file upload extensions section i.e.

swf,jpg,jpeg,jpe,gif,bmp,png,doc,xls,ppt,pdf,txt,xml,xsl,css,zip,wmv,mov,mpeg4
