Adding WebP images!

Hello! Since I run a Bludit eCommerce store - I am very interested in uploading WebP images to save bandwidth. Is it possible for Bludit to workaround? When I try to upload WebP files it says the file format is unsupported.

Thanks for your help!

I already added: $GLOBALS['ALLOWED_IMG_EXTENSION'] = array('gif', 'png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'svg', 'webp');

But where to place the mime-type image/webp ? I am novice sry

Bludit Version 3.12.0

After looking into it - there is much more coding required I think - with image resizing and so on. If there is any way we can add webp support please help! :)

The mime-type can be added in the file media.php in the directory /bl-kernel/admin/themes/booty/html (lines 181/182):

Code: Select all

// Check file type/extension
const validImageTypes = ['image/gif', 'image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/svg+xml','image/webp'];

What do you mean with "image resizing and so on".

Normally the modification of images is done with a graphics editor.

thank you it works!
It has a slight problem - it doesn't show thumbnails (in the uploader) like the other images but when the image is inserted it shows properly! This way I can save a lot of bandwidth

Perhaps this can be added. You can post a feature request on Github:
