New Commercial Services Section
We have now opened a commercial services section here on the forum for registered users. If you have a Fabrik project that you wish to have someone work on for you, post it under Help Wanted. If you are an application developer and wish to earn some money helping others, post your details under Fabrik Application Developers.
Both of these are unmoderated. It will be up to both parties to work out the details and come to an agreement.

Fileupload element : how to custumize the filter list?
- Thread starter tali
- Start date
Did you see the field "Allowed File Types" under options?

Yes. Thank you for your time on my problem.
The field "Allowed File Types" as stated by the hint on it is meant to control the file after upload.
When blank, the media allowed is used (which in my case, contains xslx).
In fact, it has no influence on the extensions that are shown in the Explorer before upload.
(Of course, people could click the dropdown to "All files"). But this is not obvious for some of them.
They want to upload an xlsx file and just don't see it in the list shown by Windows Explorer.
The exact filter proposed by default when searching the file to upload is
exactly this (with repeated jpg,pjpeg,jpeg,jtif,pjp)
As pjpeg is seldom used, I made a search in the whole database : no pjpeg.
and in the files. Only 2 files have pjpeg. Namely:
BTW, strangely, they have xls but not xlsx.
Where does the list in code above comes from?
How can I add xlsx in it in order to have the files listed accordingly in the Windows Explorer before the upload ?

If you don't specify a type list in the element settings, we use the defaults from com_media ... go to System => Global Configuration, select Media in the left hand Component list, "Legal Extensions (File Types)".

Thanks Hugh for your reply.
I already have this in "Legal Extensions (File Types)
and in Legal MIME Types
The Legal Extensions are not reflected in the filter proposed by default when searching the file to upload with the upload component which is
in particular with xlsx missing.

Ah, you must be using AJAX uploading?
That relies on a 3rd party library, which maps file extensions to MIME types. I had a look, and they had xlsx mapped to the wrong type. Should be fixed as of this commit:
https://github.com/Fabrik/fabrik/commit/ca030f8e6828094dee61f7fb48c62dcdb8127332
You can safely upload just those two files from a github update (see wiki).
