Release 2.19r
15.1 Document formats

The Document feature is provided to allow you to upload files for Club Minutes, Entry Forms and any other related information which does not fall into the standard Bridgewebs features. Usually, this will be because you have created a Word Processing document, Spreadsheet for the results or some other Web Page. Bridgewebs accepts a number of formats as defined by the suffix.

  • htm(l) - Web page
  • pdf - a standard Read-Only document that will display the same on all Browsers
  • pps - Powerpoint (with restrictions)
  • mht(l) - Web page
  • ppt/pptx - Powerpoint (with restrictions)

PDF is the best format to use for General Purpose documents or anything containing Pictures or Images. PDF's are read-only documents. More information on PDFs here.

Most Word Processors and Spreadsheet software will allow you to "Save As" a PDF. In the majority of cases you will be better off doing this rather than using the original file. For Spreadsheets remember to just "Save As" "sheet", not whole document. PDF can be quite small and relatively quick for the user to view.

If necessary the following are accepted

  • doc/docm/docx - Word document
  • rtf - Rich Text Format produced by Word Processors
  • xls/xlsm/xlsx - Spreadsheet
  • zip - compressed file

Where appropriate for programming use, also:

  • js - javascript 
  • css - cascading style sheet
  • csv - Comma Separated Format

These, in many cases, are no longer supported directly within the Browsers because of Security issues and, if used, are slow to upload (nothing specifically to do with Bridgewebs). 

Uploaded "Documents" can be used in a number of places

  • As a link in a "News" item
  • In the Calendar
  • As a web page in their own right accessed direct from the menu,
