ModX help

[Tyssen]

I gather there's quite a few ex-ModX users on this forum and was wondering if someone might be able to help me out with something which should be simple but is defeating me at the moment: uploading a PDF.

I've created a template variable and added it to a template, have checked all my file manager config settings several times and permissions on the server, but keep getting 'disallowed file type' errors. :/

Tyssen,

Although 'pub' is a forum for discussing 'anything', MODx has its own support forums which are better suited to answer the type of question you have raised and probably would do it faster and maybe even more accurately given its members use the product on a daily/regular basis.

Yeah, I did think about it, but wondered whether creating a new account, posting as a complete newbie etc., whether I might actually get a better response from somewhere I've already got a bit of history.

I see. Your OP should have probably included that context  ..... Btw, you also didn't indicate the MODx version - Evo or Revo..

Actually just Googling 'disallowed file types' show's MODx top of the list. Refining that to 'disallowed file types modx pdf' shows more results with solutions to the problem. Maybe you did that already?

[Tyssen]

Yep, already been through a few threads worth of stuff from their forum with no joy.

Yep, that turned out to be my problem. Previous developer who created my user account before handing over did so with limited permissions. :/
