Adding custom file types to Studio Server

Info: Performing the steps described in this article requires direct server access. Depending upon how your system is hosted and the level of access you have to that system, coordination may be required with your Partner or WoodWing Support team. When Studio Server is running in WoodWing Cloud, these steps are managed by WoodWing. For a full overview of the steps that need to be done by WoodWing and how to request them, see WoodWing Cloud - Change management.

Studio Server comes with a long list of supported file types, Files that are in this list can be uploaded by end users.

To add additional file types, follow these steps:

Step 1. Open the configserver.php file (recommended: config_overrule.php file) for the Studio Server on which the change needs to be made.

Step 2. Locate the EXTENSIONMAP section.

// EXTENSIONMAP:
//    Mapping of file types (extensions, for example image.jpg) to their MIME type and  
//    object type as stored in the Studio Server database.
//
define ('EXTENSIONMAP', serialize( array(
	'.jpg' => array( 'image/jpeg', 'Image'),
	'.jpeg' => array( 'image/jpeg', 'Image'),
	'.gif' => array( 'image/gif', 'Image'),
	'.tif' => array( 'image/tiff', 'Image'),
	'.tiff' => array( 'image/tiff', 'Image'),
	'.png' => array( 'image/png', 'Image'),
	...

Step 3. Add the required file type in the same format as the existing ones and make sure that it is added in lower case.

Step 4. Save the file.

Step 5. (Optional) Newly added file types will appear with the file icon for files of type 'Other'.
