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

[Scott MacVicar]

it should have been
[sql]UPDATE attachment SET filedata=''[/sql]

Thanks Allot,

This was my first hack install, and it works great on 2.2.5.

I love it :bandit:

I am curious about having the attachments upload to another server... its not nessasarilly a space problem as a bandwidth one.

[JAC]

I have a problem :nervous:

The hack works great except for one thing, When I try to attach a file that is bigger than what I have the max file size set for. I get the vb error that the attachment is to large, but the file stays in my attachments directory. It is not added to the database or anything else.

All the other errors work fine like invalid extension. If I get one of the other vb errors the file is deleted.

Thanks,

[Scott MacVicar]

open up /admin/functions.php

check that under

PHP Code:

      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_attachtoobig")."\");"); 


you have

PHP Code:

      unlink($attachment); 


[JAC]

Yep its there

PHP Code:

    $filesize=filesize($attachment);
    if ($maxattachsize!=0 and $filesize>$maxattachsize) {
      // too big!
      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_attachtoobig")."\");");
      unlink($attachment);
      exit;
    } 


Everything is working except the unlink, which I don't understand because it works fine with the rest of the errors

[Scott MacVicar]

wierd, its working on my board and even wierder that it works for the rest of the errors.

[JAC]

I going to try a reinstall and see what happens.

[JAC]

I reinstalled, but I'm still having the same problem

Does anyone have any idea of what could be causing this, I'm desperate.
