Hello!
I have implemented Proeder's file attachment. Everything seems fine except one thing. When a member name is RTL the photo link gets screwed up. I tried to look at the files to see if I can use something other than membername, which difines if from strDBNTusername. I thought there would be something like strNTDBmemberID to use instead  to use instead of strDBNTusername. So, my question is: is there a way to add such a variable in config, if so how? If not is there any other around using something unique other than user name?
Thanks in advance. |

I would recommend using the member's ID. The field in the members table is MEMBER_ID, which is stored in MemberID if you are including the inc_header.asp file. I am not very familiar with Proeder's MOD, but I would assume that you could change all references to strDBNTusername in the MOD code to MemberID without breaking anything too badly. Of course, make sure to back up your files  . I have been known to be wrong. |

Thanks muzishun:
The includes in the "myfiles" are config.asp, inc_func_common.asp and inc_func_member.asp.
So, what you are saying, if I include inc_header.asp to this file it may work?
Thanks again |

| No. Give me a few minutes to download the MOD and take a look. You basically need to use the member ID in place of strDBNTusername for the folder name. Though, now that I am posting this, I'm not sure that I am understanding the problem. Can you post a link to your forum or a screenshot of what's going on? |

| Sorry my mistake the reference to "strDBNTusername" is in pop_uplead.new and that one has inc_header.asp as include. |

| Yeah, if you are wanting to upload attachments to a folder that doesn't use the user's screen name, I definitely recommend using their member ID (I recommend this anyway, but that's another story). You may need to make changes elsewhere if the file locations are stored in topics or other places. If the file locations are determined in the code, though, you should be fine. It just depends on the MOD. |

I am not sure I can do screen shot, but here is what the file name in the link looks like:
/áäÇ ãåÏí/200811816165_images.jpg
The correct name should be:
membername/200811816165_images.jpg |

| I just downloaded the MOD and had a quick look. Unfortunately, it looks like the changes you'll need to make are in a few different files. I don't have the time right now to track them down, but I seem to remember someone doing this awhile back, so you may try searching around and see what comes up. |

so change this in pop_upload_new:
Response.Write " <input type=""hidden"" name=""memberName"" value=""" & strDBNTUserName & """>" & vbNewline & _
to this:
Response.Write " <input type=""hidden"" name=""memberID"" value=""" & member_ID & """>" & vbNewline & _
and change the references to "membername" in outputFile to "memberid".
The rest of the files are not affected. |

Here is the original thread about changing from the membername/files to the memberid/files folder structure. It looks like nothing ever came of it, but Marcel is still around, so you may see if he ever got code put together for that.
Edit: I suppose the actual link would help.

I believe at least one or two other files are affected. Files that get the list of attachments or link to the attachments will need to be changed. |

This works great now! Here is what I did:
1. Changed all the incidents of "strDBNTusername" to "memberID" except when the code is checking whether strDBNTusername <> " " and strDBNTusername = " " I guess to check whether the user is logged in or not. These changes are in the files: myfiles.asp, pop_upload_new.asp, and outputFile.asp
2. Changed all the references of membername to memberID in the same files above.
Thanks muzishun and PPSSWEB for your inputs on this |
