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

I think I will wait until everything is resolved....

This has nothin to do with my hack, i've just checked and it looks like this before my hack is installed.

hmm the instalation went fine, except whenever I try to upload anything it keeps giving me an invalid extension error. its a test board on XP, bb 2.2.4 anything i should check?
I also have it on a different disk than c: do I have to add the drive letter? also do I use "/" or "\" for the path?

Same to me.
IS a bug?

Seems to be a bug in vb 2.2.4 : Edit modifyavatar_custom template and remove the following code:

PHP Code:

<script language="Javascript">
<!--
function checkCustom(formname) {
    formname.avatarid[1].checked=true;
}
//-->
</script>

This only happens with about 4 /10 - The attachment is in the thread - People go to view it

And you get this error :

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

[MIKdoubleE]

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?????

[Mutt]

just upgraded to 224 and installed this hack. install went well and files were properly exported to the new dir. old attachments display properly. problem is, I can't upload any longer.

New uploads aren't saved in the dir, but at least the db info gets stored properly. Anyone else with this problem?

stored correctly
attachmentid userid dateline filename visible counter

stored incorrectly
filedata hash

hash is blank
filedata should be blank but instead says GIF89a? (note the one ")
