VideoDocuments Plugin
VideoDocuments attaches downloadable/supporting files to a video, such as PDF, presentation or text material. It does not convert the document into a video.
- Open Admin → Plugins → VideoDocuments, enable it, and open its parameters.
- Set the section
titleand reviewallowedExtensions. - Remove file types your site does not need; an extension allowlist is not malware scanning.
- Attach a disposable document to a test video.
- Test authorized and unauthorized users, download headers and deletion.
Current defaults include office documents, PDF, text and some media extensions. File names/extensions can be forged, so use server-side content validation, size limits and malware scanning appropriate to your risk.
Does video privacy protect the document? Test it. The attachment delivery path must enforce the same intended permission; hiding a link alone is not protection.
Where are documents backed up? Include their storage path/database relationship in your normal AVideo backup and restore test.
Can documents run code? Do not allow executable/script types, and serve uploads with safe content headers outside executable directories.
