[Bug 1855351] [NEW] Allow the site to restrict what files are allowed to be uploaded
Public bug reported:
Currently a site can allow users to upload any file type.
But in some cases Mahara sites would want to restrict what can be
uploaded to avoid users uploading malicious files or files that serve no
purpose for portfolio creation, eg .bat or .exe files
To avoid this we could have a config.php setting that whitelists what
file extensions are ok and display to the user what files extensions are
allowed
