PPN, I have a question for you.
It's concerning vBulletin 3, and the features described in this thread: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...threadid=51821 John mentions that attachment images (.gif,.jpg.,etc) are no longer stored in the database. I'm assuming this means text files, .zips, and whatever other formats are allowed are still stored in the database. My personal opinion of this is that all formats should be stored outside the db. I can see that some formats, especially text files, might typically be so small that it doesn't make a big difference, but it seems like it would be unnecessarily complicated from a programming point of view to have two different attachment handling routines. I don't know if you know the answer to this, but I'm curious to know if there will be an administrative way of controlling which attachment types get stored where. Some board admins may allow other file types that could be as large as, or larger, than image files, making them also be good candidates for storing outside the database. But, PPN, what I'd really like to know from you, is when vBulletin 3 comes out, what's going to happen to those of us who have installed your hack? I know I've long ago gotten rid of the field in the attachments table that stored all the file data, and even if I still had a copy somewhere, there's plenty of new attachments since then that were never put into that field. Will you be able to adjust this hack pretty quickly to work with vB 3, so that those of us using your hack won't have to wait that long before we can start using vB 3 without losing attachments? Or can you make something to basically reverse your hack, something that will re-import all attachment files back as filedata into the database? |
nevermind i made it work. i forgot to replace something.

I manually deleted some files out of the attachments folder (per somone's suggestion) and now I have errors on thread pages. The links to the attachments still show up.
I take it I shouldn't have listened to the person who told me to delete the files. :paranoid: Can someone help me fix this? |
Ok, I'm running 2.2.7, so I hope it works for this. ;)
I'm going through the install and it says: Code:
admin/functions.php Code:
// ###################### Start getmodpermissions ####################### |
Yes. :)
|
Good, I commented the whole (what I thought was it anyway) function out just incase it didn't work. :)
Thanks. |
Great hack PPN...
I dont know why I never installed this before... You have saved me from downloading 1.12 Mb whilst Backing up my vB Board!!! My attachment table is now only 4.7Kb!:D Satan |
<bump>
Can anyone help me with my question? ^^^^ |
Sorry Darren...I dont know:(
I would like to know if you can delete the files, if there are no more attachments... ? Hopefully I could avoid an error like Darren's... Satan |
I installed this hack and now I can't get images to show up in the threads after uploading them from the attachment window! :(
