Attachment Mod 2.0.1 by Frank H (Page 7 of 21)

I've read through this thread and sussed out a few issues and i've got it working but not fully.

Basically, Attachments are only visable for Admins along with the ability to attach files in posts.

Originally it would only display the attachments for Admins after the post was edited, i missed a part of the mod edit thou for that.
After going through all the changes again and making sure they were all correct, Admins were able to post attachments without needing to edit the post for them to show.

I really want members, mods and admins to be able to post attachments and for Guests not to be able to post or view them.

Is there anything you can suggest?

Thanks

Since the master php.ini is defaulted at 2mb, is there any way to have a 2nd php.ini file to override it?  My website is hosted and I don't have access to the php.ini and I'd like to have up to 6mb for attachment size.

PunBB reported: Unable to copy .htaccess file to new subfolder with name '/home/misak/public_html/savasweb/attachments/1f6c169793a42ccf104a9ddbe7c8902c'

run the install.php
please help!

savas: have you copied the .htaccess and index.html file into the "attachments" directory?

easier to find problems through email aswell, so mail me at the adress shown below in my signature (or use the mailform) if you still have trouble (that is, if you have those files there, or it still doesn't work)

I'm having major problems with this mod. It doesn't upload any files. The problem lies in that $_FILES['attached_file'] is empty. I've never had any problems uploading files with this php setup in the past and I have not pasted the mod wrong since I've done that 3 times and tried with your modified post.php.

Edit: Nvm, seems like there was just max_file_size that were missconfigured.

"You are running a version of PunBB (1.2.6) that this mod does not support. This mod supports PunBB versions: 1.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.3, 1.2.4, 1.2.5"

Will there be an update soon or can this still be used?

I've followed all the instructions. The mod is installed correctly. However, when I click on any forum posts now, I get this:

An error was encountered
Error: Unable to fetch if there were any attachments to the post.

I'm running 1.2.6 (I edited it to allow that.. however, I don't understand where I'm supposed to change "True" to false. Could you paste the line I need to change? Perhaps paste exactly what I need to put in there and I can just copy/paste?

Thanks!

how to make error msg to inform user that the extension is not allowed when submitting or when the file size is > max limit?

Frank, its in the post.php

        // Attachment Mod Block Start
        if (isset($_FILES['attached_file'])&&$_FILES['attached_file']['size']!=0&&is_uploaded_file($_FILES['attached_file']['tmp_name'])){
            //fetch the rules for this forum for this group
            $attach_result = $db->query('SELECT rules,size,file_ext FROM '.$db->prefix.'attach_2_rules WHERE group_id=\''.$pun_user['g_id'].'\' AND forum_id=\''.$cur_posting['id'].'\' LIMIT 1')or error('Unable to fetch attachment rules',__FILE__,__LINE__,$db->error());    
            if($db->num_rows($attach_result)!=0||$pun_user['g_id']==PUN_ADMIN){
                $attach_rules=0; $attach_size=0; $attach_file_ext=''; // just some defaults to get the parser to stop nagging me if it's an admin :D
                if($db->num_rows($attach_result)!=0)
                    list($attach_rules,$attach_size,$attach_file_ext)=$db->fetch_row($attach_result);
                //check so that the user is allowed to upload
                if(attach_allow_upload($attach_rules,$attach_size,$attach_file_ext,$_FILES['attached_file']['size'],$_FILES['attached_file']['name'])){
                    // ok we're allowed to post ... time to fix everything...
                        if(!attach_create_attachment($_FILES['attached_file']['name'],$_FILES['attached_file']['type'],$_FILES['attached_file']['size'],$_FILES['attached_file']['tmp_name'],$new_pid,count_chars($message))){
                        error('Error creating attachment, inform the owner of this bulletin board of this problem. (Most likely something to do with rights on the filesystem)',__FILE__,__LINE__);
                        }
                }
                else
                {
                    // no output ... but if you want, enable this error (you really shouldn't need to as this will only happen if someone try to go around the restrictions
                    // error($lang_attach['Not allowed to post attachments']);
                }
                }
            else {
                // no output ... but if you want, enable this error (you really shouldn't need to as this will only happen if someone try to go around the restrictions
              // error($lang_attach['Error_Message']);
            }
        }
        // Attachment Mod Block End

uncommenting the error() part does NOT work, lang reference is available.
no error msg is shown :-(

Hi,

Has this mod been verified with 1.2.7 yet?

Thanks for the info.

Frank, in the readme.txt file, you have the following line:

index.htm to attachment-directory  (read the preparations above!)

no index.htm file exists, index.html does, however.  Is this the file its referring to?
