Send the Excel file to a compressed folder/zipped folder, and then post it up.

Send the Excel file to a compressed folder/zipped folder, and then post it up.

then every one will have to unzip it and view that

it was a world cup schedule where you can enter the score and the all pre QF line up and all will come automatically.

if james has posted his doc file as zip in the same thread i dont thing many will be intrested to view it. its extra work !!!!!

Allowing Excel files would be nice, if possible.

[James]

Done, you can now attach xls documents

Oh sweet, that'll make WCC a whole lot easier, thanks.

[James]

No problem, it's very easy to add more file extensions, so if anymore are required let me know.

[Simon]

yeh this will help a lot, thanks james...

This is the happiest day of my life.

I figured this was the closest thread to what I wanted... James, for about three weeks now, I haven't been able to download any attachments. I'll go to click on the attachment, say, 'OD Round 4.zip,' but when Leechget pops up (am on Firefox), it suddenly becomes called 'attachment.php.' Then, when I download it and open it, it just gives me a txt document full of random code and stuff.
Not really sure it's happening, but could it be related to when I became a WCC mod? I've gone back and tried to download files that I downloaded successfully before I become one, and now they won't work. Not too sure if it's isolated to WCC though (aren't a whole lot of attachments in other areas of the site for me to try and download). Anyway, it's becoming a bit of a hassle, not just for me, but the people I have to keep asking to send me the zip files over MSN. Anyway, is there anything you know of that I can do to fix it?

Working alright for me Andy, will lodge a thread in the official forums. Will post back when I have some options for you.

Yeah, the same thing happened with attachment, came up as simply being called 'attachment.php,' and giving me the same kind of txt file. Thanks for asking though.

[James]

A response, let me know the result.

[andyc]

Yep, working now, thanks a lot
Probably should have thought of that myself at the start though
