@okorshenko , hope you doing well. :)

Can we add a docx file as a document.

Suppose, Document.docx is a file name , Document - is a document name

<a href="{{media url="wysiwyg/Document.docx"}}" title="Document">Document</a>

Then will it ok or not?

How to enable pdf file upload for page/block WYSIWYG on 2.1.6?

[osrecio]

Sounds good @devamitbera ,

@okorshenko what do you think about to extend this upload file to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Office_filename_extensions
https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/XML_File_Formats

Maybe we can cover "standards" of files.

Open Question.

I would prefer to implement PDF files support first. Later, it will be very easy to add new file types to this functionality. Just add list of allowed extensions in di.xml and provide the icon for each file type.
Let's start from minimal required functionality. New features can be added in a separate tasks by different contributors.

[okorshenko]

@winds1983 we need to implement this for develop branch first. Later we will be able to backport this feature

[tkacheva]

 @okorshenko @osrecio Let's start with making the list of file formats easy extendable and then work on adding extra file format support to the core.

[osrecio]

No problem, I agree with this option. Make extensible for specific needs.

[okorshenko]

Hi @osrecio
Do you have any progress on this? Do you need some help?

[osrecio]

I'm working on it. these weeks I'm very busy. But I will try looking gaps to commit some progress

[okorshenko]

Hi @kumarshanu90 do you have any progress on that? Thank you

@okorshenko I do have this functionality as an extension so if you need this extension then please let me know.
using this extension you can upload any file type.

Thank you.

[okorshenko]

Hi @5mehulhelp5
Thank you. But it would be great if you can submit PR with this functionality and make it as a part of core code.

Please reopen, this is a needed feature.

[hostep]

I agree.

@sdzhepa: can we move this to the feature request repository and re-open it?

[LiamKarlMitchell]

I found a plugin that adds this potentially will try it out soon.
