ISSUE SUMMARY:
All parameters are set correctly in backend but it seems as if I cannot upload an xslx file. Looks as if the function never completes. See screenshot

Hi Jared,

May I know what browser are you using? I just checked this and I cant select any xslx file

I am using Firefox (latest)

Hi Jared,

I see, this is bug... I will report this to our developer.

thank you

Upgraded to 4.0.5 today and can confirm that this has not been resolved. Is there a temporary patch available?

Hi Jared,

This is more of a browser issue in handling filetypes filter. In this case Firefox fails to filter these string extension: bmp,csv,doc,gif,ico,jpg,jpeg,odg,odp,ods,odt,pdf,png,ppt,swf,txt,xcf,xls,BMP,CSV,DOC,GIF,ICO,JPG,JPEG,ODG,ODP,ODS,ODT,PDF,PNG,PPT,SWF,TXT,XCF,XLS.

However it works for simple one like jpg,png,gif for example. But the important part is that it is blocked by Javascript so that the files won't make into upload queue thus it would not be uploaded anyway. See screenshot below:

:/

So how should JomSocial customers fix this to be able to upload pdf, xls, doc, etc again?

I suggest the customers re-upload the files, and for this issue I suggest they try to use chrome, so it wont make your customer confuse.. in chrome you can see which files can be uploaded and not.

FYI - I just got this to work on FIREFOX & JS4.0.5 J3.4.1 -

Please confirm that this works on your end as a temporary fix:

In Joomla Backend, navigate to: Content > Media Manager > Options button > Component tab

I added xlsx,docx,XLSX,DOCX,pptx,PPTX to the legal extensions in Joomla. Perhaps JS and J are not talking correctly.

Hi Jared,

Actually this is working fine on my end.. I can upload all extenstions which on Legal Extensions (File Types).

thank you
