I hope you backed up your files & database. This puppy is *Dangerous* ... once you've got errors they can't be fixed properly...
|
There was no point me backing up my database, I installed this hack a long time ago, my database has trebbled in size since then. There must be a way of re-importing the files into the database.
|
I ead somewhere in this thread that one of the guys were going to create a file importer program for this hack. The author hasn't supported this hack in several months, and I believe that he was working on making this file importer.
I feel for you, but I would have made a backup (Of everything) before upgrading my forum... if I was successful installing this hack the first time. It's a nice idea with a deadly bite ... |
nah... it works on all versions exept 2.3.x
and that's bad... otherwise it's a nice hack... I use it and have no problems |
I do back up my forums, and in fact all of my site on a monthly basis - all I'm saying is that a backup from a month ago would be useless to me.
Is it possible for me to downgrade to 2.2.9? |
Looks like this hack is never gonna work for me, so I think it's time to say goodbye to this thread permanantly [and to over a years worth of attachments]. Oh well...
|
Like I said before ... Nice Idea, but with no support, your playing a game of "russian roulette!"
|
..so I guess if you have this hack installed and don't want to lose your attachment db, you're stuck at 2.2.9 ??
|
More or less - yes. And you won't be able to upgrade to version 3 either.
|
OK I've found a solution for anyone wishing to remove this hack so that they can continue with versions 2.3.x onwards.
BY DOING THIS YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR ATTACHMENTS Uninstall the hack using the install file. Run this query... Code:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS attachment; You will lose ALL attachments in your BB, do not blame me if what I tell you to do here messes anything in your site up - MAKE A BACKUP. Over and out. :) |

Did that, lots of files to sieve through now :cry: |
What do you mean?
|
I still have the attachments on my server but not on the forum. Just loads of files like so. beca544936ecfacf43c7076feb61d140.file so i need to load them up to see if i need to keep or delete them, that was all.
|
Ah I see what you mean. I didn't go to that much effort... My site has been open for 15 months, so there was a fair few to look through... I just deleted them all. :(
|
IMO ... this thread and this hack needs to be removed since no one's gonna help anyone with this !
|
Well I am glad I was able to see this before installing this hack.
|
]or just run 2.2.9 :D and no problems
storing all attachments in the database is pain in the ass as for the speed of it and as for backuping |
But still, your attachments won't work in version 3.x.

]exactly my point, Rolodex! ;) :D

Silly question how isn't it working for vB 2.3.0 I didn't see any changes in the attachment code.
I will test this now on a fresh cvs copy. |
and there has been 2 users who upgraded to vB3 as well as using this hack, I provided a script to do so and you only need vB 2.2.9 to upgrade to vB3.
|
Installed file on a 2.3.0 board following the instructions exactly. How exactly did you go about the upgrade?
All you needed to do was make the file changes, you didn't need to uninstall the hack beforehand as this would remove the hash column and you would lose the association with the attachments in the directory. |
I followed the instructions exactly, the hash is still in the databse, can access the files per browser (supply the filename directly), but get the error:
Quote:
php 4.2.2 php_admin_flag safe_mode Off php_admin_value open_basedir none |
is this with all attachments or just some and was the attachment before or after the hack install?
|
copy 2.2.8 to new directory (with all attachments! ~2000)
upgrade to 2.3.0 installed: - dynamic templates - quickreply - avatar as file (no problem!) - welcome panel - and now attachment as file attachment was uploaded with the 2.2.8 version and your hack when I try to upload, then this error appears: Quote:
|
error even apperas, if "upload safe mode" in CP is activated
(avatar as file does work without it) |
you said you copied the entire directory to a new folder, did you move the attachments back to /home/web3/html/ioff/attachments or adjust the path in settings to reflect this?

mk if you can pm me your ftp details and admincp details. Its definately a setting somewhere thats causing this.
The only thing i notice different is /home/www/web3/html/ioff/attachments and /home/web3/html/ioff/admin/functions.php missing www but that is probably intended |
we have at the moment huge server probs, so I get back to you later - maybe it's a "safe mode" problem (the upload) ...
|
going to
http://www.ioff.de/attachments/84902...dcb68ff5e.file shows the actual file so add the missing www from the path and try that. |
PPN - thanks - I try it, when we solved the load issues in our board (load average: 22.04, 22.29, 22.99 ).
scotty |

I successfully installed this hack but right after doing so the load averages on my site increased dramatically from around .5 to 1.5. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
|
No one can help me????

I'm using 2.3.0 by the way, I installed the hack using the file in the 1st post of this thread on an unhacked 2.3.0 and altered the tables as shown in the thread link I posted above, worked for me. BACKUP though if you try it. My host backs mine up every night. :)
