Custom file types

    I’d like to know how custom file types are shown (ie, not only images or related). I’m running the knowledge base of my company and they need to upload XLS,SQL,DOC and PDF. So I thought of your plugin, but those files are not being shown.

    Also, a nice feature would be the plugin to show the files automatically rather than using the custom code to show the list.

    Thanks

    The automatic output will never happen due to the fact I can’t anticipate what sort of context it would be used in. To be honest if I did that it wouldn’t be a list it would be an image slider since that’s what I use it for 99.9% of the time. Also by default WordPress doesn’t support uploads of SQL by default so it won’t be able to be attached if it’s a mime type WordPress doesn’t support then I believe you can add it custom but I wouldn’t for sure be able to support it. For the other file types PDF should work I uploaded an .xlsx and .docx file and they worked I don’t have access to the .xls or .doc file types so if you want to send me empty ones I’ll try it. Also I have it fixed and it will be out soon but for now the file extensions have to be lowercase for the time being or it could cause issues.
