Is there any way to restrict the file formats allowed by the Safecracker file field beyond setting the upload directory to Images only? I have a Safecracker field for uploading videos that I’d like to be able to prevent people from submitting non-video formats.

I noticed in the docs that there is a mime types file in the EE configs, but would altering this affect any file upload across the entire system?

Hi Mindvolt,

Thank you for posting to the forums!

That would effect the entire system.

One solution for now would be to validate the filetype on the client side using JavaScript. I also invite you to make a Feature Request for expanded MIME control options on Upload Destinations.

Is there anything else I can assist you with?

Cheers,

I’ve posted a feature request about this issue and can work around it for now.

Thanks
