Hi,

I can not see how to add a new file type to the allowed file types

I want to put some autocad and 3d files

there was a mention of components/conifg .vb

this does not exist in my dnn 4 install nor is it under the desktop modules folders

there does not appear to be any database table for the gallery so where does it get the info from

I started by adding it in the host settings however

That does not seem to help with the Gallery it still say's  .dwg is not an acceptable file type.

You are right with your thoughts.  The allowable file type are stored in the config.vb file.  (note there is a separate setting for movies and flash files)

 

The reason you don't see this file as it is compiled into the gallery.dll file.  It is only available if you download the source code.  If you wanted to download the source code, you could change this value, and then recompile the dll....

but....  There is more in the code than just listing valid image types.  The code takes each of the image files and resizes and converts them.  So the code would probably fail as .NET doesn't have any build-in way to resize a .dwg file.  Also when displayed to the user, the average users web browser doesn't know how to display a .dwg..  So the reason the list is only those selected file types, is that this is what the average browser supports.

Now, if you feel like experiments.  You can download my .Net 2.0 version of the code (www.Jegers.com)   The config.vb file is readily available (you don't need to recompile anything), modify it by adding your extention to the config.vb file (either in the image or movie section), and give it a try. 

Good luck!
