Are those line in your LocalSettings.php file? $wgVerifyMimeType = false; $wgStrictFileExtensions = false; This might help.

".vsd" is not a recommended image file format. I still get the error after changing $wgFileExtensions[] = 'pdf'; to $wgFileExtensions[] = array('pdf','vsd'); Is there something else I have to do? Should the changes be instant? -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Brion Vibber Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 7:04 AM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Image's Accompanying Files Frederich, Eric P2173 wrote: a Upload it and make a link on the page. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

I wound up creating a template for things like this. I thought I would share. I called this template Template:Image_Source This is very useful for when people want to put flow charts created in power point or visio. They can do a screen shot and upload the image and then on the image's page put something like {{Image Source|bla.ppt|Power Point}} so that others can modify the Image without having to start from scratch if they just want to add a step or something. '''Source File''' : The source of this image was a {{{2}}} file which is available below. :* [[Media:{{{1}}}]] : If you wish to make a change to this picture, please try to ensure that the {{{2}}} file and picture are kept in sync. : You can use the link below to upload a new version of the {{{2}}} file. :* [[:Image:{{{1}}}]] -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Brion Vibber Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 7:04 AM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Image's Accompanying Files Frederich, Eric P2173 wrote: a Upload it and make a link on the page. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
