Attachments not in DB

[Scott MacVicar]

the browser never access's the file directly

attachment.php will send headers and then the content ot the file, they will never know what the hash was or where the file is located.

Ah...

Well, where do you plan to 'intercept' the flow ? Before the file is inserted into db directly from the temp dir or just later or selectable by Admin ?
I mean, the attachment could be easly go into database and the Admin could have an option - near the attachment moderating - to save selectable files from table to directories; this way, the link on posts shouldn't be affected at all, as its target is attachment.php with a query_string.... and only this php should do the entire work.

This was my idea when started thinkin' about, but absolutely I'm not able to throw out the db data field to a file.... irate:

Any updates on this, or a download linky.

@Jawelin:
I plan to intercept the file as soon as its in the /tmp directory and use the vBulletin functions that are used to move the files from the temp directory to the avatar or smiley directory.

@InvictuZ:
Its being updated daily about what section I am at, as soon as its finished it will be mentioned here and a thread started in the full release forum.

So the file will never go actually into db....
Attachment table would contains only those fields you described above, not the actual file data.... :noid:
Thnx

In beta testing look at the link in my sig

GREAT! Sorry for the delay but I was away... (I spoke just like you were waiting something)
Very good job, as I can see by now.

I'll install ASAP and let you know any idea, if you'd like.
Thnx
