Allow to upload file that is not image #848

Closed danieltak closed 4 years ago

danieltak commented 4 years ago

I am testing Askbot and tried to upload files that are not image, following the instruction given on askbot Q&A:

https://askbot.org/en/question/11431/does-askbot-allow-to-upload-file-that-is-not-image/

So i cloned the 0.11.x Branch and changed "settings.py" line ASKBOT_ALLOWED_UPLOAD_FILE_TYPES to:

ASKBOT_ALLOWED_UPLOAD_FILE_TYPES = ('.jpg', '.jpeg', '.gif', '.bmp', '.png', '.tiff', '.pdf', '.zip', '.rar', '.7z')

And the size to:

ASKBOT_MAX_UPLOAD_FILE_SIZE = 1024 * 1024 * 50 #result in bytes

And then used the docker file to deploy. Also tested deploying with askbot-setup and python manage.py xxxxxx (From this answer). On both cases the website worked.

However, it is not allowing the upload of files that are not image.

What is the proper way to do it?

If there isn't a way, Do you think it would be good to put effort on it? A change that would improve Askbot?

My bad, was changing the wrong Django App settings.py file.
