Hi There, How can I have the Wiki upload Word / Excel / Powerpoint documents? It appears not to be supported. Thanks. Best regards, Marcel --------------------------------- How much free photo storage do you get? Store your holiday snaps for FREE with Yahoo! Photos. Get Yahoo! Photos

You'll need to add 'doc', 'xls' and 'ppt' respectively to the allowed File Extensions using your LocalSettings.php. Be sure to include all the extensions you want to be able to upload such as pictures to, for example, your line may look like this: $wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'doc', 'xls', 'ppt'); -- Nidonocu C:\> nidonocu(a)gmail.com http://www.nidonocu.co.uk http://nidonocu.livejournal.com Nidonocu(a)Gmail.com <mailto:nidonocu@gmail.com> Get Thunderbird <http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/>

New subject: [Mediawiki-l] Indexing Documents

On a related note, are there any plans to add support for indexing doc/xls/ppt documents described at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:MHart to a general release instead of leaving it up to site admins to hack? In my opinion, the extensions found at the URL above are the most critical features missing for MediaWiki to be used as a full-featured CMS in a large enterprise. Just a thought. - Andrew mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org wrote on 07/21/2005 07:10:24 AM:

In 1.5 you can set up a search engine plugin, which could modify the index updating behavior. I'm not sure if this is something we'd include in the core distribution; remember our target audience is large-scale free-content prose projects, not enterprise internal CMSes. :) -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

I agree, but at the same time I use a wiki for sharing notes with classmates and we post Oo and M$ files on their all the time. It would be very nice to have a way to index them. Kyle
