Forum:Zip file upload

I want to upload a zip file to http://ru.jfx.wikia.com wiki. The message what I see is '".zip" is an unwanted file type. List of allowed file types: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, ico, ogg, pdf, xcf, svg, mid, jl'

What should I do to allow zip file uploading on the wiki. Should I ask administrators to do that or is there any others way?


 * Right, we have exactly this problem at http://jfx.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page


 * We need to upload few jar files with examples of Java code/classes inside. However, it seems to be impossible. If anyone is aware about ways of solving this - it'd be mostly appreciated.

 * I dont think permitting archive file formats would be benefical to any wiki. Archives can contain anything, from "illegal" MP3 to more malicious things. It could impact on other wikias...
 * If you want to put code on a wiki page, you can. Directly on the page. But, you can put it in a kind of scrolling boxe so it dont clutter the page with big blob of code. TulipVorlax 18:14, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Could it be possible to store zip files in an http server and link them from the wiki?
 * If so, does anybody know a good http server for the this purposes?


 * Hey! Do you know how to sign your messages on talk and forum pages ? Typing four ~ symbols in a row at the end of the message sould do the trick. And there's also a button above the edit window.
 * A simple response to your question would be no, i dont know anything like that. Can you say what would contain thoses archived files ? Maybe there's another way... If it's some kind of home made piece of software (that is not malicious in any manner) i think there's somes "services" to host that. But i dont know how to apply for thoses (for now).

 * Sorry, I am new to this wiki so I do not know all about it. That is why I ask some help.
 * I want to put some JavaFX projects to http://ru.jfx.wikia.com wiki. The projects usually contain some fx source files, some java files and some images. May be someone knows where is a right place to store java, C/C++ and others projects?
 * Thanks,

 * Currently, the only way i've seen that type of code on a wiki is like this :


 * That bit of C# code comes from there : . It was juste for the example. If you want to provide code files of exemple projects, and that include a big bunch of files, i'm not sure it would be possible on a wiki. But, putting the code in the page could be a good solution, that way, they dont have to download it to see it. And syntax highlighting would be easy to do. What do you think ?

 * GitHub is a good public code repository for this purpose. You could upload your code there if there's so much code and link to it from the wiki. Also, allows to create branches and merges to do collaborative projects. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 10:52, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
