Hi,
I dont know if its like this by default or something I did in the settings....whenever I try to attach a file other than the added ones, I get the message "The type of file that you attached is not allowed. Please remove the attachment or choose a different type." Is there a way to allow, and allocate space to any other unknown type file. If so then what should be the extension and MIME Type.

Thanks in advance!

go to admincp -> config -> attachement types and add the extension you want to upload
eg. exe rar or whatever

i know how to add a particular attachment but how would you make it so if the user uploads an unknown type attachement, it is still uploaded with some icon.

Haven't tested this on 1.4, but this should still work:

I'll see if I can make this a plugin if I have the time.


EDIT: you can try this plugin if you want as well - haven't had the time to extensively test this, but it looks like it works:

To change the max filesize, open the file and it should be obvious what number to edit.
