CMS Made Simple Forums

I am using the news module for some of the content on the website I'm developing.

What I want to know is how can I make a field on the create article form to allow uploading PDF's? I tried just adding a custom field but I get the following error message upon pressing submit if I select a PDF file:

error -- Cannot upload this type of file (Troubleshooting)

How would I go about doing this?

You may want to use the Uploads module and insert it into the news module template...

In the news module there is an options tab where you can specify file types allowed - by default it is:

gif,png,jpeg,jpg

You should just be able to add PDF to this.

I think the template code that puts this in your article looks to see if the file is and image or something else - there are some if statements that control the behaviour.
