Adding a file type to Matrix

Squiz Matrix Support

Hi,


I am trying to add a new file type into Matrix (3.16). In making the new file type (indesign), I have made a copy of rtf_file in /var/www/mysource_matrix/core/assets/files. I then ran compile_locale.php and step_03.php hoping that the new file type will be picked up, but this does not seem to be the case.



Any ideas on how to add a new file type to Matrix?



Thanks,

George

I assume you made changes to your asset, and step03 completed without errors?



Also, have a look at the tutorials, they may help you understand the process behind creating a asset.
