How to set up file upload to accept only certain file typess

Hello there again,

I almost have the form done.  I was wondering how I tell WBCE what file types I want the upload button to accept.  For example, in my case, I am totally blind and will accept .jpg but they need to be labeled with a picture name.  The other types of files I will accept are .doc, .docx, .txt.  I don't accept PDF files because they can be complicated for blind users to read at times depending on how the file is prepared.

Just add somewhere in the template this:

{WHITELIST doc,docx,txt,jpg}

To let the users know which kind of files can be uploaded, add sth. like

"Allowed file types: {UPLOAD_WHITELIST}"

to show the list to the users.

More information about the file upload field can be found here:
