Anything new on this deleting of attachments issue?

Doug

I personally never experienced the attachment references being removed from posts with this hack, but I guess I'll look into this tomorrow and post my findings here if the author doesn't get to it before then.

In the admin cp there is a feature called 'List Users with Override'. What does it actually do? and in what cases would it show something?

Thanks

Doug

I don't think it actually deletes the attachments persay, just looses their focus with the posting.

I posted several tests with attachments added under a different author, using AEO, and when submitting, the attachments are gone (although i have no doubt they are likely still in the system). Disabling the mod and posting the very same way, under a different username, and the attachments stay so its a reference issue with the new post using AEO i would imagine.

Until such time as this is addressed i have disabled the mod, but i'm missing it already :)

I also noticed that if you post with a different date (say a new thread) the forum home page and indeed new posts will still report it as new with the actual date you submitted it.

So say i posted a post that was too months ago (i had need to move some posts manually from my old board that failed to come in through Impex) then forumhome will show it as posted today and new, even though the date stamp is now two months ago, set through AEO. That caused my users some confusion for sure. Minor bug, but obviously again needs addressing.

Instead of allowing just a usergroup to use the feature, you can actually allow individual users to use the AEO interface too. Then that panel would show the users you have allowed override use and access to AEO (i assume, haven't tested).

oh ok thanks dizzy100.

Incorrect. In editpost, using your instructions, the code will end up being added into "Delete This Post" form, not the "Edit This Post" form. And that'll create a lot of problems.

When there are news, youi'll be notified as long as you are subscribed to this thread. Please do not ask that question again.

Geesh, ask one time and I get my hand slapped. I'm sorry I even asked.

It's not my instructions bud. It's simply what was there when I went and edited the template. I didn't write it, just put the edit where you instructed or as close as I could find to put it based on your instructions. It was a totally stock, unmodified "editpost" template in 3.6.4.

Actually upon checking it in the compare versions, it's a 3.6.2 version by freddie, that wasn't changed in upgrades to 3.6.4. I'm sure you're familiar with the compare versions in the template editor and how it shows changes from the original in different colors. Well here's a pic of that file in the compare versions, I kept a piece on the left of the unedited file to give reference and the only color change you see is the edit your instructions say to make.

I've also included your instructions, as you can plainly see they are different and your instruction set is wrong from at least 3.6.2 and forward.

The problem is that prior to 3.6.2 the action was just editpost.php. Now it's editpost.php?do=blablabla. But I'll address that in the next release of the instructions.
