Author SubJunk Version 2.1 Released August 2006 Downloads 14620 Download Now Requirements Requires Vanilla 1 Other Requirements (if any): Comments * * fysicsluvrfysicsluvr * May 2008 All the new one does is store the attachment info in the database, rather than in a file (like PageManager does). I think once the new one was created, the old one was abandoned, and I wanted to be sure that wasn't the source of your troubles. As a short term fix, try not "forgetting" to put in a topic. :-P * * FunkyGibbonFunkyGibbon * June 2008 Is there any way that I can sort multiple attachments by name? * * JaredJared * July 2008 Curious, how difficult would it be for me to allow posting comments w/o any text in the input box? As in, I'd like to have people able to upload images and not have to type anything out. I ask this because w/o any text in the input, you get this error: Some problems were encountered You must enter a value for the comments input. If this has already been brought up before, sorry that I missed it. I tried looking around though. * * AbacusAbacus * July 2008 Is there anyway to actually view the attachments in a message rather than just having the link? * * AbacusAbacus * July 2008 Okay got it! inlineimage... * * jtylerjtyler * July 2008 Attachments used to work for me... and now it suddenly doesn't. I've tried reinstalling it a few times and without fail I get this message when I go to the attachments setting page: Notice: Undefined index: ATTACHMENT_DISPLAY_IMAGE_PROCESSING in /home/uncohel8/public_html/thesentinelsguild/extensions/Attachments/default.php on line 530 Line 530 in default.php for me is this: $Selector->SelectedValue = $this->Context->Configuration['ATTACHMENT_DISPLAY_IMAGE_PROCESSING']; Can anyone help? * * jtylerjtyler * July 2008 Hah, somehow I had downloaded version 1.4 of attachments. Not sure how that happened? Anyway, updated to 2 and it works like a charm. * * dubLeEdubLeE * July 2008 Can we attachment any file type with this? I was trying to attach a MS Publisher file and got the following error: Some problems were encountered You are not allowed to upload (Calendar.pub) the requested file type: application/vnd.ms-publisher * * davestewartdavestewart * July 2008 Ok - I'm having major grief with Attachments I've just moved to a new dedicated server, and attachments were not working, and seemed to lose the post when uploading: Some problems were encountered The requested discussion could not be found I've now managed to solve this by reading through this thread to find the link to this post which advises editing the Vanilla core to solve the problem (which works!) http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/7935/forced-category/#Comment_84234 So, next up I discover that I can't now upload files. Some problems were encountered Failed to upload the file: continue.gif So, some playing around with phpinfo() leads me to discover that my upload_tmp_dir was not set! Very strange for a default install, but there you go. So I've edited that but now there's no luck either. Can anyone help? I have spent days on this so far... Thanks, Dave * * dionhall85dionhall85 * July 2008 Great add-on!!!!! * * davestewartdavestewart * July 2008 Regarding my previous comments, we seem to have got to the bottom of the problem. It appears error reporting was OFF in this new installation, so I was getting no feedback at all with regards to the nature of the problem. Having made the changes to turn error reporting ON, I then got this error: Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. <br />The script whose uid is 10001 is not allowed to access <br />/var/www/vhosts/kickasskandy.com/httpdocs/forum/uploads/6 <br />owned by uid 48 in <br />/var/www/vhosts/kickasskandy.com/httpdocs/forum/library/Framework/Framework.Class.Uploader.php on line 113 To rectify the problem, my server admin had to go in and change the *ownership* of the folder. Here is his response, in case it helps anyone: It seems that when thta forum software created the folder it doesn't create them as the ftp user, it creates them with ownership by the apache process, so the ftp user isn't allowed to access them there is probably a long complicated way of rewriting the forum code to create them with the ftp user, but I have gone in via SSH and changed the ownership of those folders to the FTP user. To do this, (in case it comes up in future) you login via ssh, navigate to that folder (cd /var/www/vhosts/kickasskandy.com/httpdocs/forum/uploads) and then change the ownership (chown [username] [foldername]) and you will be able to upload after that. I hope that helps someone. Cheers, Dave * * davestewartdavestewart * August 2008 And just when you think it's sorted, the same issue for other users. Any help anyone? * * DinoboffDinoboff * October 2008 Is anybody wants to maintain this extension since Jazzman has not logged in since last november (2007)? * * nc_mattnc_matt * November 2008 alright maybe I have missed the boat here. But I have succesfully installed the exension and can upload a test file to the server and that works fine. But how do I access the file after that? I don't see anything? * * MichaelPierceMichaelPierce * November 2008 http://lussumo.com/community/?CommentID=75472 (Attachments # 123) I get this same problem, somehow Attachements is borking the url :/ * * SpliffsterSpliffster * November 2008 I hope I haven't missed something here in the comments or in the Forum. I am facing the following problem: My Forum is a closed user group, no anonymous posting allowed, registration upon admin confirmation only. Some people in our community are developing software and want to make it available through the forum. However, the content-type tests seem to be annoying at best. After reading some code I have come to the conclusion, that content-type checking of uploads is a core feature and is enforced as long as extension developers use the offered api functions (I use the Attachment 2.1 with "Multi File Upload" and "Inline Images"). So i went into library/Framework/Framework.Class.Uploader.php and commented out the content-type checking part. I know that checking content-types and file sizes might in most situations be desired on a public site but not always. Did I miss some configuration options? If not, would it be possible to make "turn off" content-type checking available or make it possible to use wildecards in content-types (something like this): $this->AllowedFileTypes = array ( //all javascript files like text/javascript or application/javascript. ending doesn't matter // because it could be named anything anyway '*/javascript' => array('*'), // allow the following text files 'text/* => array('css', 'js', 'txt', 'csv') ); * * mwbarkermwbarker * December 2008 I get the following error message at the top of the page when trying to upload a file that is now allowed: Notice: Undefined property: DiscussionID in myfilepath/library/Vanilla/Vanilla.Control.DiscussionForm.php on line 124 Anybody have any ideas why that would show up only then? If I upload attachments that are configured correctly in the ATTACHMENTS_ALLOWED_FILETYPES area, everything works great. * * gprestongpreston * December 2008 Alrighty, hopefully someone's already done this (crossing fingers)... Has anyone modified this Add-on to work with Amazon Web Services S3 file storage? I'm looking to move from local storage to online storage for my site and before spending the time to take this Add-on and modify it for this purpose, I figured I would ask first and save myself from the agony (if at all possible). If people aren't familiar with this and want to read more about it, you can point your browser here: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=847 * * gprestongpreston * December 2008 alrighty, it would appear the answer is probably no. I'll get started on it then :) * * vanillervaniller * December 2008 I have the same problem as #mwbarker in V.1.1.5a: Notice: Undefined property: DiscussionID "mypath"/library/Vanilla/Vanilla.Control.DiscussionForm.php on line 124 Other thing is that, I have problem when I try to upload attachments larger than 1MB - many times while uploading page Hangs up and file is not uploaded, I must refresh page and upload again. * * akoumjianakoumjian * January 2009 EDIT: Nevermind, I fixed it. php.ini wasn't doing what it was supposed to. I am getting the following error messages when trying to upload mp3 files: <br />The file you attempted to upload (01-Welcome.mp3) was empty.<br />You are not allowed to upload (01-Welcome.mp3) the requested file type: <br /> Things I have already done: 1. Added the mp3 mime type to the default.php file 2. Fixed the "MineType" typos 3. Increased the size limit for uploads both in the Vanilla extension and in my php.ini file. I also find it odd that it doesn't give me a MIME type with the error, and that it claims the file was empty. * * jdutantjdutant * February 2009 Like other users, I had a problem with file types not allowed, and I get PHP error messages (like mwbarker and vaniller) when trying to upload files of an unallowed type. Here's a description of the bug and the turnaround I used. I'm using Vanilla 1.1.5a and Attachments 2.1. I uploaded a few .pdf files sucessfully, but at some point, when trying to upload a new .pdf file, I got the following error message: Some problems were encountered The file you attempted to upload (NameOfFile.pdf) was of type "application/download", but the file extension "pdf" did not match the accepted extensions for this type of file: rar, RAR I got the same with other .pdf files. When trying again I got the two additional PHP error messages at the top: Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in myvanillapath/extensions/attachments/default.php on line 703 Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$DiscussionID in myvanillapath/library/Vanilla/Vanilla.Control.DiscussionForm.php on line 124 I don't know why my pdf files are classified as "application/download". When checking them in Windows, they are perfectly normal pdf files (they start with the %PDF1.3 string). I don't know whether the browser or the server assigns a different type, nor why. I turned around the problem by allowing files with extension "pdf" to be downloaded as application/download types. For those who need it, here's how to do it: find the following line in extensions/Attachments/default.php: $Context->Configuration['ATTACHMENTS_ALLOWED_FILETYPES'] = array ( Below you'll find lists of allowed extensions for each file type. In my case I changed: 'application/download' => array('rar', 'RAR') into: 'application/download' => array('rar', 'RAR', 'pdf', 'PDF') If you have a problem with another file type, add a line of code for the MIME file type Vanilla mentions in the error message (text/rtf, application/download, etc.); or if there is a line already, add the relevant extension to the list as above. * * ATCbradATCbrad * February 2009 I installed Attachments-2.1 and have my "Upload Path" (in Attachment Settings) defined as to '/vanillaforum/uploads/Attachments.' When trying to upload a jpg file I get a message " 500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed." Any assistance would be appreciated. * * Artful+DodgerArtful Dodger * February 2009 I am having quite a bit of trouble with this plugin. Although it's a good idea and stuff it has quite a few errors. Now I'm no coder or anything and it might just be something that I'm doing wrong. My forum is located here. One problem I'm having is when I tried to upload a zip folder which was about 9MB onto a discussion that I tried to create it just reloaded the 'Start New Discussion' page and didn't make the discussion or upload the file. I've tried putting the max file upload to 999999 bytes but it still didn't work. Another issue I'm having with this is when I tried to upload a zip folder yesterday it said: The file you attempted to upload (malwarebytes.zip) was empty. You are not allowed to upload (malwarebytes.zip) the requested file type: OK so these are the problems I'm having. I've tried messing about in the default.php file but again, I'm not very good with code so I didn't have a clue to be honest on what I was doing. Anyone have any idea about what's going on? Would appreciate an email to ad7863@googlemail.com explaining what's going on but still would be good if you could just tell me on here. Need to get this fixed asap for a perfect forum :) * * %5B-Stash-%5D[-Stash-] * March 2009 I can't help you with most of this stuff, but you might want to check exactly how many megabytes 999,999 bytes is. P.S. It's 0.95MB ;) * * GunDeckGunDeck * April 2009 The Extensions works great... Except I also want to be able to host files larger than 64M. I found in the php.ini there was a 64M limit in two places: Post_max_size=64M upload_max_filesize = 64M I bumped these up to 300M to no benefit. I also upped the Extension setting for max file size to 300M. All I get when I try to up a file larger than 64M is a new Disscusion screen. No errors are ever posted. I did read in the thread where there is an edit to the VannilaDisscusionForm to show the error, but that edit was already in the build. Attachements 2.1 Vannilla 1.1.5a Thanks in advance I edited the wrong php.ini. I needed to edit the php.ini in the c:/xampp/apache/bin, then restart the services in WinXP Thanks Guys! GunDeck * * GunDeckGunDeck * April 2009 New problem, I can not attach .tgz's I have added the tgz extension to the list, but I still get an error in regards to get object data and an error on line 703 (original line had 'gz' and 'tar.gz'. I received the error list below so I removed the 'tar.gz' and added 'tgz'. I still received the error listed below.) Cut-n-paste of error displayed: Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\Vanilla\extensions\Attachments\default.php on line 703 Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$Context in C:\xampp\htdocs\Vanilla\extensions\Vote\default.php on line 38 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\Vanilla\extensions\Vote\default.php on line 38 Fatal error: Call to a member function NewContextObject() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\Vanilla\extensions\Vote\default.php on line 38 from default.php Cut-n-paste of add extensions from default.php 'application/x-gzip' => array('gz', 'GZ', 'tgz', 'TGZ'), 'application/download' => array('rar', 'RAR', 'zip', 'ZIP') Cut-n-paste of default.php (starting at line 700) // Save Attachments function DiscussionForm_SaveDiscussionAttachments(&$DiscussionForm) { $Discussion = &$DiscussionForm->DelegateParameters['ResultDiscussion']; $AttachmentManager = &$DiscussionForm->DelegateParameters['AttachmentManager']; $AttachmentManager->DiscussionID = $Discussion->DiscussionID; $AttachmentManager->Comment = &$Discussion->Comment; $AttachmentManager->SaveAttachments(); } Any ideas why uploading this particular file extension is giving me problems? Would of been nice if I could attach the default.php file in this Forum. :-) * * %5B-Stash-%5D[-Stash-] * April 2009 That's what <code></code> tags are for ;) * * GunDeckGunDeck * April 2009 To say I'm noob in html is an understatement. Im assuming your saying that I could of used the <a> </a> tags to up the default.php? Has anyone had any luck with attaching .tgz's with this extension? I just took the .tgz and put it in a zip file and upper that but I would like it to be easier for the end user. Thanks for the assist! * * %5B-Stash-%5D[-Stash-] * April 2009 Sorry, I was obscure, I was referring to the fact that you can effectively "upload" a PHP/HTML file to these forums by simply copying the contents of it and pasting it inside <code></code> tags. Although, yes, you could also link to a file uploaded elsewhere, that's a perfectly valid way to do it too! :) I've not tried TGZ files myself, but if you can upload other files alright, you should be able to add support for the TGZ files by looking at the error message yoyu get when it fails on the TGZs and a little creative copying and pasting in the attachments default.php. * * veganovegano * July 2009 Hello, I've got a probleme while using Attachments: The extention works if I don't use the variables of Attachments. If I tell him to save in: uploads/%userid%/ it says there are is a Problem with the rights to create a now folder. But "uploads" is on 777. In any way one time it succeed to build new folders, but no picture in it. Now, don't using variables, it works - but: I think after some month this folder will grow big and some day people may want to save a file with the same name as one with allready exists. Has anyone an idea? * * IgantiusIgantius * October 2009 test * * sonofanickelsonofanickel * January 21 @vegano I have the same problem I recently ran into this problem: After switching to a new host, something about how my new environment is configured prohibits Attachments' recursive mkdir() function from creating the upload directory (it will create the first level(the year), but not the next (the month)). It's also adding the number representing the current month to the front of the filename. For instance if I upload foo.txt it will name the file 01foo.txt. I'm sure this is related to my new hosting environment but I'm hoping to add some code to Attachments to make it more robust. Also, I had to add "binary/octet-stream" and "application/download" to the mime types to allow upload of a .pdf from a user using Firefox on MAC. * * dtp56dtp56 * March 23 hi guys, ran into this problem, any ideas would be much appreciated: Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /usr/www/users/downt6sn/pet_sitter_bible/forum/extensions/TagThis/library/Function.TagThis.php on line 96 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /usr/www/users/downt6sn/pet_sitter_bible/forum/extensions/Attachments/default.php on line 703 Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$DiscussionID in /usr/www/users/downt6sn/pet_sitter_bible/forum/library/Vanilla/Vanilla.Control.DiscussionForm.php on line 124 * * ZuzannaZuzanna * April 15 Thank you.
