Upload video and limit video file type?

  • I’m testing out WordPress Form Manager to see if it would be a good fit for a submission form for a competition we are hosting. We need unregistered users to be able to upload video clips via the form and the ability to limit the type of video. I noticed that this plugin is not letting me save a list of video file types to the “only allow” field. It does let me save a list of other file types.

    Does anyone know how to edit the Form Manager plugin to allow nonregistered users to upload video and limit the filetypes to .mp4, .avi, .mov, etc.?

    If not, does anyone have an alternative plugin suggestion? I tried CformsII, but the upload times out. (I have increased the upload limit and post limit in the php.ini file, so the problem isn’t the upload size but the amount of time it takes with CformsII.)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You found a bug. The problem is the extensions with numbers in them. For now if you remove ‘mp4’ from that list it will work fine. I’ll post an update to fix the problem.

    Ok, this will help me work around it until there is a fix.

    There is one more thing I noticed. I was able to upload a small file (around 7MB) but anything bigger (say, 40MB) would eventually just refresh the form. My guess this means its timing-out like other form plugins I’ve tried? Is there something I can add or change somewhere in a file that will allow for larger uploads?

    Thanks for your help!

    Jenna I’m sorry to have taken so long for this, however I did just post an update to fix the problem you were having.

    Thanks very much. Will update and try again.

    One more thing I wanted to ask, but didn’t want to start a whole new topic.

    Is there a particular regular expression to validate a URL that I could use? I’ve tried a bunch, but they all come up invalid.

    I would just google it. The regular expressions are used in the javascript ‘match’ function, fyi.
