Attachments as files

Well after alot of time leaving it in the beta hacks forums without any problems, I'm now moving it to the Full Releases, I'm satisfied that there isn't any bugs that need to be addressed. Thanks to Jawelin he pointed out most of the mistakes through alot of his testing.
I've attached it as an installer file here, as it needs to make changes to the database. Two new rows to settings and a new column in the attachment table.

Updated some more

Note the > is missing off the bottom of the file after the ?, add it before trying to install

Yeah, i figured it out......but heres a question, is there anyway, i can change the url on the attachment....i mean, like my board is hosted on my server, www.hiphopfuture.com and i was wondering if i can tweak the hack and point the attachment uploads to another server. To save space on mine.....any way?????

HELLO!! is there any support for this hack?????!!!!!!!

[Freddie Bingham]

No.

I've just installed this hack, and so far I can't see any problems with it, apart from .png files, they either don't upload at all, or they don't display correctly. has anyone else seen this at all?

[Scott MacVicar]

I've not noticed the problem with png files, though support for this was only added in 2.2.2 in attachment.php are you running 2.2.2 or later?

Mike if you don't have space for attachments on your server dont turn them on, simple as that!

[Ninth Dimension]

I'm running vB 2.2.4, it could have just been the file I was using to test it with, but it should not be a huge problem or anything like that

[Scott MacVicar]

at the bottom of attachment.php it should have

PHP Code:

elseif ($extension=="png") {
  header("Content-type: image/png");
} 


as part of the check for image type.

[Ninth Dimension]

Yup, it's got that, oh well

Oh, a quick word of warning, when I downloaded the file earlier today, you have not got the ?> at the end of the file, I added it myself and it worked fine, but you might wanna re-upload the file

[waddy]

This only happens if the file doesn't exist, was it removed or is the disk space allotment for your account full?

Ive got tons of space and the files in question have not been deleted.


The forum says there is a file attached- when you click on the attachment to view it - you get this
