Attachment Database

It's self-explanatory and easy to install. You can view a demo here: http://forums.ffdiscovery.com/attach.php


Instalation
===========

Installation is extremely easy. First open the attach.php file and check the configuration. It's designed to work with the private attachments hack and the attachment viewer. After checking the config, upload the file to your forums directory, create a new template called attachment with the contents of the attachment.txt file and a new template called attachmentbit with the contents of the attachmentbit.txt file. That's it.

Feedback is always appreciated. You can get assistance, if needed, either through an e-mail or through my forums.

Great job rake. With that added index it works great! I would love to have it show file size on the view page, but other than that it's great!

Does this work properly without killing the server yet?

Nope it's kills my dedicated server.
I'm using only the updated files.
It took more than a minute to load the page

By the way my attachment database size is 2.6 GB...

Maybe attach.php don't like that fact ?

it still has problems on my mysql server... load's too high !

Attachment Usage: 210.04 MB

Are you sure you ran the queries? The index is vital and drastically reduces load.

Yes I run them. In case you need it I can give you access to my server, but I think it's because the 2,6 GB attachment table...

So if you have a large attachment amount, this will still bring everything to a crawl?
