[ Closed ] Attachment Mod 1.0.1 by Frank H (Page 4 of 7)

have you also altered the max allowed filesize for each forum?
(admins override that value, and also override allowed filetypes)

hmm... yeah you're right ... in attachment.php before

require 'config.php';

you should put that

$pun_root = './';

odd that my 1.1.2 doesn't produce the same error, as I have tons of attachments I have looked on and never seen that error

actually I think you don't need the require 'cnfig.php'; line either, looks like common.php fetches that information

well ... I now see that the mod really need a rewrite from scratch ... too many small things

I don't understand what you are trying to do. You do not need to edit files for setting what forums users are allowed to post files in.

Go to Admin-Forums, and you should see some extra controls for the attachments, one control for each forum (there you allow who may post and download file, how large files may be, and what files to allow)

nice

considering you've set up a forum where you allow all, I take it as you have done all the neccessary settings in Admin-Forums. (using the checkboxes etc to allow users to upload)

but it sounds like you have something wrong in the mod, did you use the zip file linked from the first post aswell, and added all fixes written in the first post?  (it sounds like either attach.php is faulty, or there are more than one line missing), considering only admins can post/see files, it implies that it's something with the if statements and/or calls to functions in attach.php to check if user is allowed or not...

I'm quite occupied tomorrow, but in the evening I should probably find some time to do some hunting
If you like, you can compress the php files, and I can take a peak on them ... (in that case, mail me an url to the archive, to frank_n05pam@hotmale.com, and replace hotmale with msn's mail service )

Edit: Saw that you had mailed that the mail didn't work, but it did work, only that the hotmail spam filter had put the mail in junk mail, but I saw it and replied ... (then I saw the mail from this email-form on PunBB that you couldn't mail, but it did work ... must have been because it was delivered into the junk mail box or something, further emails should go to my inbox)

Edit: I have recieved the files, and when I unpacked the zip PunBB weren't installed correctly, at leat what it seems, so the problems is most probably there. I'm actually amazed stuff worked at all, to be honest. Hopefully moving all files to correct position will make it all work (and there was some files missing aswell, or at least "include/attach.php")

Edit: got another file, everything looks ok to me, no idea what might be wrong...

Edit: and so does the database ... I'm now fresh out of ideas ...

Edit: We have to give up, there's something that I cannot find, and a fully working version on apache fail on IIS, if it's apache vs IIS I'm not sure, as admins can upload, so it might be a combination of IIS+PHP, but I'm not sure.... either way, the user having these problem could let people be administrators.

Question : how to put the FORM upload just after the Quick Answer in viewtopic.php ?!

I can't wait for an upgrade

yep, no more database storage ... everything will be put on disk instead, and I'll make a little installscript that will 'move' the files from database to file storage... and I'm also going to try not to use any file editing to set configurations either (going to try using PunBB's own things for those things instead, if possible)

Either way ... I have started to poke around planning for the rewrite, and some things seems to be much better for modding than previous versions, which is nice, but the mod requires a total rewrite, so it'll take a while (but on the bright side, once the mod is released, 1.2 should have been tested throughout )

hmm... sounds too fluffy for the attachment mod I make... but it should be possible to write some kind of gallery mod later, that use the attachment mod ... all files will be on disk, and references to them will be on database, but there will still be a php file that transfer the attachment, so rights etc shouldn't fail (and the modwriter wouldn't need to worry about those things)... it's probably similar to how it works 'from the outside' ...

So, what's needed in that gallery mod is something to check what attachments that's in that thread/forum, and then just spit them out on the gallery page ... a bit of coding needed, but I doubt it should be that hard to do, but I probably haven't time to do it. (after the attachment mod, I have another one that needs my attention... I don't want to say what that mod is just yet (think only Rickard knows atm) ... so I can work on it in my own pace, without too many demands ... lol )

lol, crap I should've kept my mouth closed

But it would be great : because if you did it ... I could write all my fantasya.net about PunBB ...

you gonna release it?
