Hello,
How can I limit the user to just uploading PDF files?
Thanks

Frank,
you can put this checking into generated include\commonfunctions.php file.

Find this line there:

$file_move = array($file['tmp_name'],GetUploadFolder($field).$value);


and put your checking just after.

Here is the sample code:

$ext = substr($file["name"], strlen($file["name"])-4);

$ext=strtoupper($ext);

if($ext!=".PDF")

return false;

Frank,
also you can check file extension in the BeforeAdd event and return false if file isn't PDF.
