 ADD NEW MIME TYPE

This screen allows you to add a new Mime Type.

INFORMATION ON THIS SCREEN:
Mime Type Type the name or descriptive text that identifies the new mime type. This name has 2 parts -- separated by a "/" -- where the first part is the actual Mime "Type" and the second is the Mime "Subtype" (i.e. "image/gif" and "image/jpeg" are both of the Mime "image" Type).
Extensions

Type the extension to be used by the browser to associate files of this mime type with a locally installed application (for example, doc indicates a Microsoft Word document). Multiple extensions must be separated by one or more spaces. Extensions entered here will be used by the browser to associate files of this mime type/subtype with a locally installed application (for example, doc indicates a Microsoft Word document). Extensions will display in (parenthesis) immediately following the Mime Type in the Mime Types list.

Options

Check the WSD options that will apply to the new Mime Type. The identifier for the Options selected here will display in [braces] immediately following the Mime Type extension in the Mime Types list.

The identifier will display either as text (Edit, Templates, Href, Dynamic, Links) or a single letter (E, T, H, D,L) depending on the length of the description and extension. For example,

text/html (htm html) [Edit,Templates,Href,Links]
or
application/x-httpd-php3 (php3) [E,T,H,D,L]. 
  • Edit Online Supported [displayed as Edit or E]- Content with this Mime Type will be a candidate for on-line editing using the Text and WYSIWYG editors.
  • Templates Supported [displayed as Templates or T] - Content with this Mime Type can be used to create Header, Footer and Page Layout templates.
  • Include BASE HREF Tag [displayed as HREF or H] - Content with this Mime Type will have a BASE HREF tag placed at the beginning of the content during View and Preview.
  • Dynamic Content [Dynamic or D] - Content with this Mime Type will be temporarily copied into the Dynamic Content Preview Directory during View and Preview (see System Configuration).
  • Process Links - [Links or L] - WSD will perform Links processing for this Mime Type and identify content/URLs that link FROM content of this Mime Type via the Links function on the content's Properties screen. See Links for more information.
