Feature #451
Updated by Daniel Curtis almost 10 years ago
I wanted to add a m4v file to the product description but Magento has a limited amount of permitted upload file types. Unfortunately there is currently not an option to add, remove, or modify these file types in the +Admin Panel+; but there is a way of accomplishing this by modifying a little source code.
* Look for the file: */app/code/Core/Mage/Cms/etc/config.xml*
* You should create the same folder structure to inside /app/local: Copy *config.xml* into */app/local/Core/Mage/Cms/etc/*
That’s the way to make the change upgrade proof.
h3. Add the extensions
* Open the config.xml I mentioned above and around the line 100 you will find something like this:
<pre>
<extensions>
<allowed>
<jpg>1</jpg>
<jpeg>1</jpeg>
<png>1</png>
<gif>1</gif>
<pdf>1</pdf>
</allowed>
<image_allowed>
<jpg>1</jpg>
<jpeg>1</jpeg>
<png>1</png>
<gif>1</gif>
</image_allowed>
<media_allowed>
<flv>1</flv>
<swf>1</swf>
<avi>1</avi>
<mov>1</mov>
<rm>1</rm>
<wmv>1</wmv>
</media_allowed>
</extensions>
</pre>
Notice the added *@<m4v>1</m4v>@* <m4v>1</m4v> to the allowed extensions.
After uploading the file refresh the +Magento Cache+ and also try to log out from the +Magento Admin Panel+.
