Configuring Allowed File Extensions

You can restrict the types of files that can be uploaded to Cartella through the Gallery, Documents, and Media modules.

To add or remove file formats:

Navigate to [Site_Root].
Open Cartella.config in a text editor.

Find the <AssetSettings> section of Cartella.config, which contains a block of variables specifying the file formats that can be uploaded.

<AssetSettings>
    <!-- Specify the extensions of files allowed for images. -->
    <add name="AllowedImageFormats" value="*.jpg;*.png;*.gif" />
    <!-- Specify the extensions of files allowed for docs. '*.*' allows all document extensions. -->
    <add name="AllowedDocumentFormats" value="*.*" />
</AssetSettings>

Note

File types are broken down into images and documents.

Following the syntax patterns in the @value field of <add>, add or remove file extensions as needed.
The following code indicates that JPG, PNG, GIF, and SVG image files can be uploaded to Cartella: <add name="AllowedImageFormats" value="*.jpg;*.png;*.gif;*.svg" /> .
Save Cartella.config.
