Hi all,
I'm getting a bit frustrated about dokuwiki imposing rules about the names of uploaded files. People don't write documents with a view to uploading them to dokuwiki, which they might never have heard of. Documents pop out of the other end of the company and we try to collect them somewhere. Please can these restrictions be removed?
Adrian.

What restrictions do you mean?
adrianmay
As I say, restrictions about the filenames of files I want to upload. I'm not sure exactly what the rules are, but I don't get to choose the filenames anyway cos they're not my files. So far, I tried three different files and they were all rejected. Why do we need any restrictions at all?

They are enable due to security concerns.

I'm in a private LAN. Can I turn them off?

My mime.conf says MSOffice and OpenOffice docs should be enabled (with a !) but still I can't upload my files. Are there some other restrictions on the filenames?

Could you try to uploader a picture? Does your DokuWiki restricts this also?

I am having trouble along these lines too. No parentheses, commas, apostrophes, ampersands, capital letters, no terminating periods, terminating dashes, etc. etc. It seems like we could lighten things up a bit to include any filename that the operating system accepts, or a filename that multiple operating systems will accept.
