Topic: Best Attachment Mod?
I'm looking to install a attachment mod that allows my members to post images (only images) to the forums for use in their posts. I was wondered which mod for this was best?
Thanks in advance.
Re: Best Attachment Mod?
Here is a very good mod:

On my board I use more of a hack than a mod. It is not as pretty or as sophisticated as Frank's, but it is simple, straight foward and it works. The discussion is here:

My mod also use the database for binary storage (to be sure noone can direct link and get stuff they aren't alowed to), so if you have a small dbspace, it might not be the best option?
When 1.2 is released, I'll rewrite it, and add features for storage in files etc. But I'll make a "converter/upgrader" so that no data are lost.
But that's put forward in time, and it will probably need some time for the rewrite aswell...
looks like that other image attachment is easier to install, or, I really don't know (as I haven't tried), but it seems smallser so I'm guessing it is 
perhaps someone that have used both have best input about the matter
Re: Best Attachment Mod?
So would the attachment mod from Frank H work with the mods in my sig as well as the 'reply only' mod? Just wanna be sure that nothing is going to conflict with the installion.
Re: Best Attachment Mod?
No idea, as I don't use those, but they will probably work, just that you might need to be more careful when replacing things, so you don't overwrite something a previous mod has altered.
I suggest you first try on a forum not used(but with the same mods etc installed)... and if everything works ok, do it on the used forum ...
Re: Best Attachment Mod?
Yeah, good idea. I'll check it out later tonight. Thanks
Re: Best Attachment Mod?
np, just make sure you follow all the info on that first post in that thread, there's a couple of things that must be tweaked since I first fixed 1.0.1 
Re: Best Attachment Mod?
I'm a little concerned, I noticed that you allow people to upload ANY type of file when I skimmed through the readme, admins have the ability to just have images uploaded correct?

Re: Best Attachment Mod?
what mod do you mean? ... if mine ... then you can set allowed fileextentions for each forum, then that forum will only allow those files, rejecting all other
(if it's left empty, it will allow all files except those specified to always block)
and you can set who can do what with checkboxes (upload/download), and also max filesize for each forum aswell ...
Controlling these things are done from Admin-Forums (and then you click "Forum Attachment Rules" for the forum you want to change rules on.) (here's an example from when I made the mod, think it still looks the same)

Hi Maverick, my "mod only accepts image types. Try it out on shuttertalk.com (register first though).
Cheers,

Re: Best Attachment Mod?
hmm.... I obviosly have a problem with my mod that have occurred on one IIS+PHP+mysql combination ... and I haven't a clue what's wrong (admin works, but not the other userlevels...) ... just htought I would say it here aswell, when there were discussions about the different attachment mods... (will edit my post on the mod releases thread aswell)
