Hi,

I believe I have picked the right CMS system, and modules are working good. In the In-Link Directory Management, is it possible to allow users to upload videos? Please advice. Thank you in advance.

There are only 2 upload types possible:
* Images
* Files

Have you tried to upload under Files field in Link?

What I know for sure, that you won't get any inline video player, like on YouTube after video has been uploaded. Only a link to download it as is.

Hi,

I have tried to upload a short clip which is WMV format. It gives me an error with "Invalid file format". You are absolutely right what I am looking for that is the inline video play. Do you have any suggestions on how to get it work? Please advice. Thank you.

Open core/units/files/files_config.php and carefully add "'video/x-ms-wmv', " after " 'application/x-gzip', " part. See the needed block below.



'allowed_types' => Array (

 'video/x-flv', 'video/quicktime', 'video/x-sgi-movie', 'video/mpeg',         'video/x-msvideo', 'video/x-msvideo', 'application/x-shockwave-flash', 'video/x-fli', 'application/pdf', 'application/msexcel', 'application/vnd.ms-excel', 'application/msword', 'application/mspowerpoint', 'application/zip', 'text/plain', 'application/x-gzip',

),
