Create files from attachments

This is not like the attachments as files hack, it is simply a way to import files from the attachment table to real files for whatever reason, maybe you just wanted an actualy backup of the files instead of the database.

Simply upload the file into your admin directory.

Open up /admin/index.php

look for

PHP Code:

makenavoption("Back-up Database","backup.php?action=choose","<br>"); 


below it add

PHP Code:

makenavoption("Export Attachments","attachment_export.php?action=import","<br>"); 


done

I could do the forum gallery hack but I have too little time spread too thinly (is that a word?)

your sig looks weird in 800x600 15" monitor

I done it in 1024 x 768

well chen done it, I had it all on a new line but my sig was getting a bit long lol

I might make it an image, though I wonder if i could write some vBcode to allow the use of image maps

i get:

Warning: fopen("/sites/d/digital-forums.com/htdocs/www/attatchments/wet.zip", "wb") - Permission denied in /sites/d/digital-forums.com/htdocs/www/forum/admin/attachment_export.php on line 32

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /sites/d/digital-forums.com/htdocs/www/forum/admin/attachment_export.php on line 33

Imported wet.zip

and yes i chmod correctly to 666

[Admin]

You need to CHMOD 0777, no?

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /sites/d/digital-forums.com/htdocs/www/forum/admin/attachment_export.php on line 32

now I get this message

any clues ?

[Raptor]

PS im using 2.2.4

[Scott MacVicar]

you definately created the attach folder and chmod it to 0777 this is vital as the problem is definately with permissions, this is the only reason it would stop attachments from being created.

[Raptor]

yes definatley

after some tweeking it now says import successful (no erroes) but theres no files in the folder

very very strange ?

[Scott MacVicar]

what do you mean by tweaking?
changing the file or the permissions?
