MIME configuration
Which file types you can upload via the mediamanager is configured through the conf/mime.conf file. It also configures the file extension ↔ mimetype association.
For security reasons it is not possible to configure DokuWiki to allow any file type.
Never enable HTML upload for unprotected wikis, as this opens Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities through JavaScript. Only enable this with trusted users. You need to disable the iexssprotect option additionally to adding the HTML mime type in the config file.
Additional icons in a similar style are available at http://www.splitbrain.org/projects/file_icons
Adding additional Mime Types
Additional mimetypes should be added in mime.local.conf (you need to create this file). The file expects an extension (without the dot) and a mime type. Prefixing the mime type with an exclamation mark (!) will force the browser to present a download dialog, even if a browser plugin for the file in question exists.
Example:
- mime.local.conf
# this would play in the browser (if supported): wav audio/wav # this would be downloaded wav !audio/wav
File type icons can be added by placing an image file (PNG or GIF) named after the file extension into lib/images/fileicons/. Note: because the stylesheet used for assigning the fileicons gets cached you need to force a rebuild by touching one of the config files.
