What you can upload depends on where you are uploading — page attachments, the media library, and image fields each have different rules.
Uploaded via the page editor or [{ATTACH}] plugin. Any file up to 10 MB is accepted.
| File type | How it appears on a page |
|---|---|
Images (image/*) | Inline thumbnail with click-to-expand |
| All other files | Download link with a typed icon |
The [{ATTACH}] plugin recognizes these types and shows a matching icon:
| Icon type | Extensions |
|---|---|
.pdf | |
| Word | .doc .docx |
| Excel | .xls .xlsx |
| PowerPoint | .ppt .pptx |
| Archive | .zip .tar .gz .7z |
| Audio | .mp3 .wav .ogg .m4a |
| Video | .mp4 .mov .avi .webm |
| Text | .txt .csv .md |
| Generic | everything else |
Note: Audio and video attachments appear as download links, not players. To embed a player, use the
[{VideoPlayer}]or[{AudioPlayer}]plugin.
The config key ngdpbase.attachment.allowedtypes (default image/*,text/*,application/pdf) documents the intended policy. See ConfigAccessorPlugin to display the current value.
Used for profile photos and other image-only fields. Strictly enforced:
