I am getting an error "the file type you are attempting to upload is not allowed" (this would be expected if one uploaded a file that was in the "forbidden file type" list) but this is coming up when the field is not used, i.e. it is not a required field, therefore should it not be ignored as an empty field?
Form is at http://aare.murraywebs.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=84
Can you advise a solution? The upload file settings in my config.php are below:
//allow only these filetypes to be uploaded
define('UPLOAD_FILETYPE_ALLOW','pdf;doc;txt;ppt;jpg;jpeg;png;gif');
//do not allow these filetypes to be uploaded
define('UPLOAD_FILETYPE_DENY','php;php3;php4;php5;phtml;exe;pl;cgi;html;htm;js');
