    Linking to odt files in the media section

    4.0.3

    I have a odt file created in openOffice that I can not link to from my blog. Whenever I try to link to the file Umbraco serves up a 404 error. I replaced the file in the node with a PDF and it work just fine. I tried renaming the file to something simpler and it still didn't work.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Chau

    Hi Chau

    It's probably because either the mime type has not been set in IIS or that it is a file extension that is not allowed. But I think it's the former.

    The mime-type can be added to IIS and I think it's "application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text" for .odt files...(at least that's what I found googling ;-))

    Once the mime-type has been added you should be able to get the file.
