whenever i try uploading a video to a listing i get the error

File: '.flv' is not an allowed file type
File: '.wmv' is not an allowed file type

The file is 320x240 and under 2 megs either way. I have my servers so they have the mime types .flv as well as .wmv. I added flv,wmv to the xmod allowed file types.

Any ideas?

This is not a business directory issue.

DotNetNuke has always had some configuration issues with uploading files over 4096 kb.

Actually, this is not even a DotNetNuke issue but rather a problem with how ASP.Net handles large file uploads.

Since DNN 4.8+, when NeatUpload was introduced, the web.config has been an issue with configuring large file uploads.

The first thing you should check is if you have flv and wmv files allowed in your extension types. Go to host tab --> host settings --> other settings --> file upload extensions and make sure that flv and wmv are allowed file types.

Next try to add one of your videos directly from file manager.

If uploading a video to file manager still produces an error, read this post.

I figured it out. s usual it was EBKAC (error between keyboard and chair)!

Now i am having a time trying to figure out why the inquiry forms are not sending the emails correctly. i have the VEID coming up as a valid email address and the forms are getting into the DB ( I set up a form view to check). The emails just never seem to get sent???

Any ideas.... you can see it at www.nbsworldwide.com click on the "Handyman" category in the list to see the "Bob the Builder" listing. everything seems to work except the inquiry emails and inside the deatiled view .... the "Return to List" button takes you off to a different page... i thought it would return you to the list view you were at before you clicked "more info" .?. Is there somewhere i can look to see about this?

Hi Bill,

The detail template code, Return to List button is calling the XMod constant XMOD_UrlReferrer which returns the user to the previous page visited.

On your site, the setup sends the return to list back to your SearchListings.aspx page.

To change this is quite easy. We just replace the current Return To List link to a XMod ReturnButton. I have attached the code.

In regards to the email not sending on your Inquiry form:

parameter name="sEmail"

parameter name="smtpServ"

These two parameters allow the form to send mail:

sEmail - The default value is {XMOD_PortalEmail} and returns the email associated with your portals's Administrator account. This value is the From value used to send emails. You can change this to the email of your choice. In addition to the main form, Primary Contact Emal, this is the email address that will also receive emailed inquiries.

smtpServ - The default value is mail.{XMOD_PortalAlias} and will return mail.YOURDOMAIN.com. You can change this value to the SMTP server of your choice. Example: If you are hosting at PowerDNN.com the value would be 127.0.0.1

Change these values if they do not meet your site's email requirements.

Most likely you need to change the SMTP server parameter to match your email service.

Note: when editing forms and templates be sure that you use the plain text editor.

Got It!. Thanks for the help.

i know there is somewhere that i can set the inquiry form to redirect to a page.... i just cant find it now.... any suggestions?

Hi Bill,

We did not add a redirect to the inquiry form since it was designed to open in a new window and has a JavaScript close button attached.

You can easily add a redirect to the form by following the information here.
