XF 1.5 Add xlsx files to conversations?

[flowerpot132]

Where do i do this please? I can see how for threads but not convos. Thanks

There is a separate permission - 'Upload attachments to conversations'.

 

[flowerpot132]

So i search for Upload attachments to conversations? Nothing comes up.

The atachment options cover posts and conversations.

The permissions are set in the user groups, as usual.

I can't find anything for 'Upload attachments to conversations'. Confused now.

 

[flowerpot132]

I'm here forum/admin.php?options/list/attachments

xlsx is listed there.

 

[flowerpot132]

That page is not convos. Says at the top:
"
Attachments are files that are uploaded to the board along with messages.
"

Hi, could you check for me please?

As Brogan said, you enable the ability to upload attachments to conversations in user group permissions:




The attachments page you visited is where you specify attachment details & properties that will apply to all posts and conversations.

Thanks but that was set to Allow here: forum/admin.php?user-groups/registered.2/edit

Users can currently upload attachements to conversations. They can't an xlsx file.

Can you help please?

What does it say when they try to upload xlsx files to conversations?

Can they upload xlsx files to posts?

Are you sure that you have xlsx files listed in ACP > Options > Attachments > Allowed Attachment File Extensions (a screenshot would be useful to check for any potential errors).

Do you use any other add-ons that might affect posts or conversations (whether or not they relate to attachments).
