XF 2.2 How do allow videos to be posted in threads?

[pfar54]

I am trying to post a video in a thread to welcome new members. Every time I try I get the following error (I am trying by attaching a file) : "The uploaded file does not have an allowed extension. The following extensions are allowed: zip, txt, pdf, png, jpg".


Here is what my toolbar looks like. Is there a setting anywhere that allows this? Ideally, I would like only admins to be able to post videos.

Set the 'Upload video/audio to posts' permission to Yes for the Administrative user group.

Set the 'Upload video/audio to posts' permission to Yes for the Administrative user group.

I changed it to that a little while ago but the error is still showing up.

Is there another setting that would prohibit this?

You need to use this button:



You may need to add it to the editor toolbar via the ACP.

You need to use this button:

That option isn't showing.

The video button is showing in the BB code button manager.

How do you add it via the ACP?

If the button doesn't appear then you don't have permission.

Check that you haven't set the permission to Never in another user group.
Us the permission analyser.

It looks like the permission is enabled. Below is for my username.

... or option allowVideoUploads is not enabled - admin.php?options/groups/attachments/#allowVideoUploads

This fixed my issue. Thanks!

Thanks to you too, Brogan!

I have had this see here:

Cannot reproduce - No permission to upload video, but can see the video upload icon

My test user has no permissions to upload video, but they can see the button in the editor. But, when they use it to upload a video, the video appear to upload with progress bar but then they get a message saying file extension not allowed

No but it does seem to verify the problem exists, just not able to find the cause (yet). Maybe if you post more details in that thread may help a diagnosis
