How to Add Documents in the Image Unloader

Is there a way to add documents and images through the "Post a Classified" page where it says, "Add images (images must be under 1 MB)" - I would like to be able to allow users to upload .pdf and .doc, etc.

Me too!

Yes, if you go into the form_process.php file and search for this line you can add other file types.

Neat trick.
Useful for .pdf & .bmp etc... but I'm not sure I'd want users to share .doc files.

Thanks for the help ... a very easy fix.

Now for one more question ... how would I go about viewing the .pdf file I have uploaded? If I right click and open in a new tab or window, it displays correctly but it will not load through the lightbox. Thoughts?

Re: How to Add Documents in the Image Unloader

That is a bit more tricky. Since the file uploader was designed only for images, the fancybox obviously won't work. You'd have to write some code to detect that it's not an image and then don't include it in the fancybox display. I didn't think about that when I answered your question. In short, it won't really work unless you do some custom development.

It would be great to see this capability added in a coming update.
