When i go into a unit to add files - it restricts what files I can upload. I need to be able to upload .exe files and .ipynb and .py files and probably a few other types but at a minimum those file types.

Well yes these are not allowed by wordpress itself since these type of files can hack the server , you can zip these files and then upload .

[Ernesto Lee]

:( :( is there anyway we can achieve this?

[Anshuman Sahu]

Well we are using wordpress core function wp_handle_upload for upload process , so if wp allows those file types it will be uploaded . you can look for third party plugins to allow file types in wordpress . can try this : https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-extra-file-types/ but not sure if it works . IMPORTANT : We would still recommend you to not allow these file types to upload on server due to security issues .SITE MAY GET HACKED. Zip them and upload .

you can try this code in wplms-custmizer.php file in wplms customizer plugin :

function svgz_mime_types( $mimes ) {
        // SVGZ allowed mime types.
        $mimes['exe'] = 'application/octet-stream';
$mimes['py'] = 'text/x-python';
        return $mimes;
}
add_filter( 'upload_mimes', 'svgz_mime_types' );

Well for units it seems not possible .Please use the zip file approach .While in assignments its possible :

add_filter('wplms_assignments_upload_mimes_array',function($mimes){
  $mimes['Python'] = [];
  $mimes['Python'][]='application/x-python-code';
  $mimes['Python'][]='text/x-python';
  
  return $mimes;

 

});

add_filter('wplms_course_creation_tabs',function($tabs){
		
		foreach ($tabs['course_curriculum']['fields'] as $key => $field) {
			if($field['id'] == 'vibe_course_curriculum'){
				 if(!empty($field['curriculum_elements'])){
				 	foreach ($field['curriculum_elements'] as $k => $elements) {
				 		if($elements['type']=='assignment'){
				 			foreach ($elements['types'] as $j => $type) {
			 					if(!empty($type['fields'])){
			 						foreach($type['fields'] as $h=> $field){
			 							if($field['id']=='vibe_attachment_type'){
			 								$tabs['course_curriculum']['fields'][$key]['curriculum_elements'][$k]['types'][$j]['fields'][$h]['options'][] = array('value'=> 'Python','label' => 'Python');
			 							}
			 						}
			 					}
				 			}
				 				 
				 			
				 		}
				 	}

				 	
				 } 
			}
		}
		return $tabs;
});
