    Displaying a umbracoExtensions using another alias

    Anyone can tell me how do i get to display the extension of an uploaded file under content if the alias am using is not umbracoFile ?

    I have certain nodes where user can upload pdf, xls and docs files but here am using another alias not umbracoFile and would like to have the extension being displayed on the front-end. But right now umbracoExtension only works with umbracoFile.

    Any idea how to add a new alias ?

    you could just revert to 

    new FileInfo(filepath).Extension;

    from the .net framework?

    Thanks Mike,

    Or i can simply add this to my umbracoSettings.config

     <uploadField alias="myalias">
                  <lengthFieldAlias>umbracoBytes</lengthFieldAlias>
                  <extensionFieldAlias>umbracoExtension</extensionFieldAlias>
              </uploadField>
