Title: Any chance you could allow .pdf file to be uploaded??
Post by: wkheathjr on February 15, 2007, 03:56:42 AM
I am adding vendor section as part of block and download management, and I would appreciate it if it is possible to upload vendor application in .pdf format (so vendor can't alter disclaimer or rules) for vendors to download and apply.

Many thanks!

I'm not sure I understand why you want to upload a PDF file to TinyPortal.net.  Or are you asking how to allow someone to upload a PDF file to your own site?

If so, simply add the file extension to the list of allowed file extensions:
SMF ACP -> TinyPortal -> Downloads Manager -> Settings -> Allowed file extensions:


Bah.. beat me to it Ich!

Actually I want to upload vendor application myself for prospect vendors to download and apply before submitting the application form along with payment by mail.  And generally, I am more comfortable using .pdf format rather than to use .doc because you could edit .doc but not with .pdf

I'll give it a try this afternoon and let you know how it turned out.  Thanks!

I added pdf to Allow file extensions as instructed and tried to upload then got this message:

Currently you can only upload one of the following file formats:
zip,rar,doc,jpg,gif,png, pdf,

Your file was: vendorapplication.pdf

seems like you have a space between png, pdf,
it should be png,pdf with out the space between them, just the comma

Where you added this:
Code Select

zip,rar,doc,jpg,gif,png, pdf,

to it.
NOTICE: each file type has no spaces. You have a space that is like
Code Select

, pdf
Also remove the comma at the end unless you have more after the pdf file type.

It should look like this:
Code Select

zip,rar,doc,jpg,gif,png,pdf

Ok, want to hear weird part???

I tried to download the same pdf file I just uploaded and I got a error message saying that the file is either unavailable or corrupted while sending email..  (it was never sent by email)

So I decided to compress it into .zip file and upload it...  then download it and could open the zip file only to find out that the pdf file is gone.  Basically opening zip file with nothing in it.

WTF?  Am I missing something??

Change the permissions to the tp-downloads folder and the content inside the folder.
A common file permissionerror some hosts have, but by changing the permissions to the tp-downloads folder most of the issues will be solved

755 or 777?  It is already 755

I went to your download settings and after PDF for file types you put a comma. Removed the comma and it works fine

Code Select

The test file you uploaded checked out ok!  The file I uploaded didn't, but I haven't tried upload anything after you fixed the problem so I will let you know when I test it tonight.
