Allow all file uploads in mediawiki
I wanted to allow /all/ file uploads on a mediawiki installation (debian squeeze). This included files with no extension. This was harder than I thought, as there’s no extensionless option in mediawiki, you have to hack the sourcecode.
Add the following to LocalSettings.php:
1 2 | $wgStrictFileExtensions = false;$wgCheckFileExtensions = false; |
edit /etc/php5/conf.d/suhosin.ini and change:
1 | ;suhosin.upload.disallow_elf = on |
to
1 | suhosin.upload.disallow_elf = off |
Edit: /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/specials/SpecialUpload.php comment out the following block:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | /* if ($finalExt == '') { return self::FILETYPE_MISSING; } elseif ( $this->checkFileExtensionList( $ext, $wgFileBlacklist ) || ($wgCheckFileExtensions && $wgStrictFileExtensions && !$this->checkFileExtension( $finalExt, $wgFileExtensions ) ) ) { $resultDetails = array( 'finalExt' => $finalExt ); return self::FILETYPE_BADTYPE; }*/ |
