Create files from attachments · **Released**: 03-04-2002

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

Is there a way to do the reverse thing, to import the files in the database ???

I installed the hack, but haven't used it yet. If i use it, will it remove the files from the database, or just copy them? Thanks.

sound like the directory does not exist or is not set to 777.
