[Xerte] Re: media upload - docx support

[Ron Mitchell]

Are you using the management page for this? Not sure if the default settings
have changed since previous versions of XOT but as I've just setup a new
install I quickly tested docx upload and it worked fine. Not sure if the
following will get truncated but these are the default settings in 1.6 for
[The allowed upload types for the Media and quota page are]

 

text/xml,application/msword,application/x-shockwave-flash,image/jpeg,image/p
jpeg,image/png,image/gif,image/x-png,audio/mpeg,application/vnd.ms-excel,app
lication/pdf,application/vnd.ms-powerpoint,video/x-ms-wmv,text/html,video/mp
4,video/avi,audio/wav,text/plain,video/quicktime,application/vnd.openxmlform
ats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet,application/vnd.openxmlformats-office
document.wordprocessingml.document,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocu
ment.presentationml.presentation

Hmm, tried adding:

 

.
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document

.        and - application/vnd.openxmlformats

 

restarted IIS and cleared cache, but media upload still returns an invalid
file error?

You add the mime types to the management page: Site, server settings.

Hi all

 

I'm using the media quota via on XOT (accessing through the LO properties
menu) to upload exercise documents that I want students to download while
they work through the learning object. I notice the file uploader will
accept a '.doc' file but not a Word 2007/2010 '.docx'. 

 

Is there a fix available to tell Xerte to allow for .docx uploads? All of
our students and staff are running Office 2007 or newer so there are no end
user compatibility issues there.

 

Cheers, Adam
