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

Great hack!!! It's working perfectly.

I installed today, and everything seemed to go smoothly. However, I can view old attachments that used to be there before the hack, but new attachments are not showing up. I get broken images. I have tried with both new threads, and new replies. Same problem in both.

Using 2.2.6 and not getting any errors when I upload. I can also see that the attachment is uploading correctly to the attachment directory.

OK. New clue. Once I drop the filedata column, no attachments show up.

Never mind. Stupid user error.

Check the path you have to the attachment directory. It can be tricky. I had the same problem when I first installed this and once I got the path right, everything was fine.

What kind of CP in your hosting use?
Example in Ensim:

if you use command pwd, you got your path:

/home/yourname/mainwebsite_html/

that's not real path, the real path is:

/home/virtual/siteXX/var/www/html/

where siteXX is your site ID
I hope this would be help!
