I am trying to make the file type restrictions not affect a certain user/usergroup.

Any ideas?

I apologize if I've completely missed the obvious here.

OK, finally found (yes feeling kind of like a moron here)...

in downloads.php find:

PHP Code:

if ($upload == true)
        {
            if (!strstr("|".str_replace(" ","|",$dl->ext)."|",$ext))
            {
                $errors['message'] .= '<center>'.$vbphrase['ecdownloads_invalid_extension'].': '.$dl->ext.'</center><br />';
            }
        } 


and replace with:

PHP Code:

if ($upload == true)
                {
                        if (!strstr("|".str_replace(" ","|",$dl->ext)."|",$ext) && $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != "X")
                        {
                        $errors['message'] .= '<center>'.$vbphrase['ecdownloads_invalid_extension'].': '.$dl->ext.'</center><br />';
                        }
        } 


with "X" being the userid of the person you want exempt.
