File Type Restrictions

1. Is it possible to restrict the uploading of certain file types (e.g., mpg, wmv, mov, etc.) to specified Usergroups?

2. And to restrict file types to specified categories?

Answer to those questions is NO the file type is a global setting in Admin => Upload Options

That's too bad. I'd like to see this option as a feature in a future release, however. Anyway, thank you for addressing my question.

Updated: I think I got it to work on a user level.

I'm still working on "usergroupid" as called in vB but I've managed to get it working with PP's call of "userid". Here's what I did:

In uploadphoto.php find:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

And replace it with:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Replace "x" and "y" for the Userid #'s and only these members will have multimedia upload permission. All other users will get an error that the file is not supported. The language.php will need to change accordingly.

If this is provien to work I'd like to post it in the Mod section.
