hmm...andrew..
having serious troubles getting mp3s to upload again (tried one liek 10 times no luck--still). same issue as before a couple betas back. getting a page not found or blank white screen after being stuck at 100% upload for a while.

its not ALL the time. but a significant amount. Had two users complain about sameissue as well.

did something change in the upload script from beta 3 to 4?

Andrew, have you made any progress on this?

There were no changes in the upload handling between these betas.

I can't remember what we discovered before, and if the problem only happens with larger files? Also, can you remember - did you have problems some releases ago with strange database errors when playing or downloading music/video?

I have added a new 'extra' limit-useraccess' with the 2.2.5 rc release (see VB36 thread - it also works with VB35) which allows you to modify allowances according to the users' posts.

It is (I think) extremely simple to change this 'extra' to work with the reputation rather than the number of posts. (i.e. instead of using the value of vbulletin->userinfo['posts'], one would use vbulletin->userinfo['reputationlevelid'])

Do you feel up to making that change yourself or do you prefer that I give you a more detailed example?

I do not understand what you are saying, because I have no clue about how either the 'extra' limit-useraccess' or the vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] work.
Either a detailed step by step explanation or a plug in/xml would work for me.

Using version 2.2.2 on vb 3.54 and I added the new plugin that limits user access based on post count but it doesnt stop users who havent met the requirements, any suggestions. Did I need to edit the plugin first or was it already configured? I tried several times on an account that did not meet requirements but no luck. Thanks

Do I read you correctly - you have installed the new extra provided with version 2.2.5 into a board running LDM 2.2.2?

This will not work as the relevant hook was not included in the LDM code until 2.2.5.

Consider the following setup:

1. Forum URL = "www.teflon1.net/forum"
2. Homepage URL = "www.teflon2.net/"
3. Upload space = "/home/webuser/upload"
4. Thumbs space = "/home/webuser/thumbs"
5. Forum web root = "/home/webuser/public_html"
6. force_redirect = 0
7. thumbs_dir = "../thumbs/"
8. local_file_root = No
9. protected_link = 0

When browsing a category containing pictures with Opera 8.51 is works fine.

But when browsing with IE 6.0 the thumbnails will not show up at all.
And the URL to the thumbs shows up to be something like: "www.teflon2.net/../thumbs/63721154952051.jpg"

This is a bug in the following aspects:

1. It shows the path to the thumbs, which should be hidden
2. It tries to find the thumbs on the wrong server
3. It uses a URL containing ".." above the forum web root
4. It does not evaluate the relative, (".."), URL into an absolute URL

One cannot rely on the Homepage URL to point at the web root for the forum.
That must be found using proper PHP system variable.

Strange that it works on Opera, but not on IE.

Can this be solved?

I'll take a look.

In general, the code does not try to resolve relative directories when local_file_root is set to 0 - I need to confirm that.

Concerning the file locations being made visible, a distinction is between the original file and its thumbnail. The location of the original is not made visible, but the generated thumb is. Is this an issue for you?

Thanks!
The thumbs space can be setup in the forum web root, so that is a minor problem.

Just like to get it confirmed that the revealing of file locations is only for the thumbs.

The problem with the thumbs pointed at another site, and thus not showing up is still a problem.
