Yes. Animated gifs don't animate in flash. I think.

I notice in the allowed uploads that gif files are allowed.
I always assumed they weren't - certainly I've never got an animated gif to work in Xerte much as I would like to.
Or is it that gifs are ok but animated gifs won't work?

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/pjpeg,image/png,image/gif,image/x-png,audio/mpeg,application/vnd.ms-excel,application/pdf,application/vnd.ms-powerpoint,video/x-ms-wmv,text/html,video/mp4,video/avi,audio/wav,text/plain,video/quicktime,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.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
