when some user tries to attach a File in a group or anywhere in the Livestream, there is a message "The File Extension Is Not Allowed". The file extension is actually allowed:
txt
doc
docx
sql
csv
xls
ppt
pdf
jpg
jpeg
....
If the user attach an Image, that works...
How can I fix the Problem?

Nope, not only PDF...
All files are "not allowed" except Images....
E.G. PDF, docx, txt ... doesnt work...
jpeg, jpg, png - works!

Neo, just a thought, but have you put the dots before the file names?
.txt
.doc
.docx
.sql
.csv
.xls
.ppt
.pdf
.jpg
.jpeg
Try it. Might work.

Those settings are for blog and forum attachements only. You can only upload images.
In order to upload pdf doc txt you will need my plugin..

not only that the plug in is not translated in german, if i use it with german language, it dont work properly. After the user uploads a doc, there is an internal error 500...

I only do english, for german you will need to find someone to translate it for you or translate it yourself. I have a section in the plugin support for people to donate their translations but they are not required to donate, and i dont have german, sorry.
For now youll have to just post the link for the document in the group newsfeed. I am looking into the best way to add group support and should have an update in a week or so.

The 500 error is a server error not a plugin error, you will need to look at your error log to see why. I just uploaded several files on my test server and they work fine.

Also the 500 may be because your server does not natively support pdf. so for that you will need to add this to the top of your htaccess file
AddType application/pdf .pdf
you can also turn on debug mode to see if the error shows. also look for a error_log file in your root or look in the ow_log folder

Your welcome, no it will not be like that, you will still need to use the plugin, but i hope to create a new widget in the group section to show that attachment.

I think that is also OK
My Question is - why do i need the Description on the Upload? It will be nice, that the description of the file has also hyperlink just like the symbol... if there is a widget in the group, where the files are listed, and if i click on a file, this will be insert into my comment- that will be nice...

When attaching a PDF file, an error may appear due to restrictions on the types of files allowed for uploading to a group or forum. I would also like to know where I can find a service to create PDF Summarizer?

Working with PDF files has always taken a lot of time. so I entrusted this issue to https://pdfflex.com/ai-chat-with-pdf PDF Flex provides fast file conversion while maintaining the integrity and format of the document.
