File types cannot be edited

doxendine

Hi. I added a couple custom file types in the past. I believe I added them under Administration>Server>File types
However, I can't seem to edit that section anymore. Do you know if this is added somewhere else now?

Thanks

In Moodle, since 2014, it is not possible to add custom file types when one is defined in config.php, which is the case in MoodleBox for about 2 years (added in v3.9.0, published nov. 8, 2020).

I suppose you did it with an older version?

You should first comment out in config.php the whole definition of $CFG->customfiletypes, then add your custom types, then re-enable the variable definition. If you don't need your users to download the certificate, you can also leave it commented or remove it totally.

PS. This behaviour is a bit annoying, I'll try to find a long term solution.

Thanks. That was the fix. When I commented out $CFG->customfiletypes in config.php then my custom ones I put in from before reappeared. Also, the 'crt' custom type appeared as well. I'll just leave that section commented out in the config.php file.
Thanks again.
