Chapter 5 ■ Content Types
Figure 5-27. Setting the file upload parameters
On the final configuration screen (see Figure 5-28), you will find fields and options for entering help text
that explains what this field is used for (“Upload the events program” in our example), indicating whether
a file upload is required when creating an event (unchecked in our example), specifying the allowed file
extensions (in our case we’ll allow an author to upload a file with either a txt, doc, docx, ppt, pptx, or pdf
file extension), optionally identifying the directory within the public files directory where these files will be
uploaded (leave blank), setting the “Maximum upload size” (for our example we’ll allow files up to 1MB
to be attached to the event), and enabling a Description field that may be used by the content author to
describe the file. Once you’ve updated the values, click the “Save settings” button at the bottom of the form.
