Set the allowed file extensions for user file uploads in the file_filter_fields.

Syntax:

allowed_files = ext

allowed_files = ext1|ext2|ext3

Example:

In your form:

…
<input type="file" name="attach">
…

Config file:

allowed_files = gif|bmp|png
file_filter_fields = attach (Picture)
Result:
Only *.gif, *.bmp, *.png files will be allowed for during upload.
