'Drupal CMS' file system - allowing upload of additional file types.

If you're a 'Drupal' Content Management System Administrator then this may be of some use to you.

So you need to allow upload of a different file type to those specified in the Drupal default configuration?
In which case (if you're having problems) you may well have already looked at the posting here - http://drupal.org/node/146016.

When I did this there was no answer there, that I could see anyway. Don't think I missed the solution in there, or did I?

Anyway, I might be wrong but if you'd take a further look at the 'Adminstration > Site Configuration> Upload' file dialog box, it may be that in your haste to get the thing fixed, you just overlooked setting the three different user types listed there. Namely the 'Administrator', 'Site Contributor' and any other user you've defined to access your site.

Hope this tip helps someone and saves a bit of frustration.

Oh, by the way, please don't allow the upload of executable or script files for the default (or new) user, as you might be helping to distribute some 'Junk Ware' or a virus or two. Agreed?
