Not images in Media Library?

When i import a mp3 file from admin, it takes it as a wbmp file. And when i link to a non-image file, it writes the img label with src to the non-image file.
Is there some way -or plugin- that lets import non image file to the Media Library? And when inserting them... that inserts a href label with the file as target of the link...
If not, the only way i guess is to upload by ftp the files and writing html code to make the links to those files.
Thanks for any help or comment

Which serendipity and PHP version are you using?
Serendipity relies on the PHP mime detection facilities and falls back to using file extesnsions.
Also your SErendipity installation may have a corrupted "images" table with incomplete columns. Check the sql/db.sql file for that table and see if all columns are present, please.
Because non-image files in 0.8 are possible without any problems...

Looks like the estructure is the same in my images table and the sql file from original installation:
This is what phpmyadmin exports as estructure from my images table:
Code: Select all
CREATE TABLE `vtres_images` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
`extension` varchar(5) NOT NULL default '',
`mime` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
`size` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`dimensions_width` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`dimensions_height` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`date` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`thumbnail_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
`authorid` int(11) default '0',
`path` text,
`hotlink` int(1) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `imagesauthorid_idx` (`authorid`),
FULLTEXT KEY `pathkey_idx` (`path`)
) TYPE=MyISAM ;
Really is not a big problem... i thought that i was able to import only images... but it would be good if i could work with any kind of file.
I forgot... i use 0.8beta5... i know i must update... but i edited several files (function_entries, plugin_internal...) and i am lazy to update these files as well
Thanks!

Pano, I think fixes have been made for this in later 0.8 versions. You will need to try the final version
And share your patches, maybe we can include them in our distribution!
