Snitz peers:

I'm a bit stomped. How (and where) do I change the OUTPUT.ASP file so that my forum can receive .DOCs (that may go beyond 5MB) and .PDF files? Here's the script section I'm butting my head against.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
' --- CHECK FILE FOR ACCEPTABILITY ---
if oldfilename = "" then
response.redirect "pop_upload_new.asp"
else
extension = LCase(Mid(filename,InStrRev(filename,".")))
end if

select case extension
case ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".gif", ".zip", ".doc", ".txt"
allowFile=true
case else
allowFile=false
end select

If allowFile and byteCount <= 250000 Then
value = UploadRequest.Item("blob").Item("Value")

...
...

--------------------------------
Any input is greatly appreciated.

The code you've posted already allows upload of DOC files.

To allow PDF upload, change the following line:
case ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".gif", ".zip", ".doc", ".txt"

to
case ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".gif", ".zip", ".doc", ".txt", ".pdf"


You can set the allowed maximum size of a file in the following line:
If allowFile and byteCount <= 250000 Then

Simply replace the blue value to your desired maximum size in bytes.

Thanks, mr. eeyore... I'll try to do as you suggest. Perhaps, I didn't increase the file size, enough for the system to allow the upload.

cheers!

I think I know where my problem is...

The code above is for the "File Lister" component (SH modded). The one I'm trying to use is the "Attach File" (with paperclip icon) feature associated with a create or reply to new topic.

Question:

How do I change the "attach a file" component to accept the files I want for users to be able to attach, and, what ASP file do I need to edit?

whew!
