Is this fully compatible with 2.0.3, or does it need new instructions, or what?

Cool hack, now if you could add an optimizer that optimizes all pics with 100% no lossy compressions that would be the end of the world. Are there any functions for this?

can this hack be modified to display a gallery like page (similar to the admin view of smilies/avatars) for attachments specific to a forum?

i.e.

gallery.php?s=&forumid=1

?

Actually, correct me if Im wrong but setting the attachementid=0 wouldnt remove the attached file, it would just set its id to 0.

Try to find a field called attachment in the post table. It does not exist.
Threads with no attachment have set the attachmentid to 0.
The actual delete is done in the line aboveAnother thing I found is that the attachment count is not reduced when you delete an attachment.

How difficult would it be to add an option to save attachments to the file system on the server?

To answer my own question:

Not too difficult at all!

I hacked in code that allows me to search for threads with attachments in a certain folder, then save all attachments with extension X to the file system, in a directory like this THREADID_threadttitle

Works like a charm. I extracted 2 gigs of MP3s out of the database. The next step is to redo it so it also creates an index file with the contents of the posts.

No.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getrowbg() in /home/dlrarmy/public_html/forums/admin/browseatt.php on line 25

This script does not work for me

When I search for attachments by user or by forums it just gives me the above error message.

Whats up with that?
I did it exactly like in the instructions!

You'll need to upgrade to 2.0.3 to run it...plus 2.0.3 has an important security fix.
