 Obvously another bug I did not realize. There is a varchar definition missing in the dbs script.
As you know propably already have the records in CONFIG_NEW you may fire up the following code in the 'Alternative Mod Setup' Page
[DROP]
UPSIZE
CONFIG_EXTENSION
[END]
[CREATE]
UPSIZE
ID
UPLOAD_VAR#VARCHAR (20)#NULL#
UPLOAD_VALUE#int#NULL#
[END]
[CREATE]
CONFIG_EXTENSION
ID
EXTENSION#VARCHAR (15)#NULL#
[END]
[INSERT]
UPSIZE
(UPLOAD_VAR,UPLOAD_VALUE)#('STRTIMEOUT','3600')
(UPLOAD_VAR,UPLOAD_VALUE)#('STRUPLOADFILESIZE','100000')
[END]
This will drop and create all the tables again - now with the correct varchar value. Shold work like this.
Sorry for any inconveniance...

Limit uploads to Moderators and Admins
I saw in a previous reply that someone was able to limit the uploads to Moderators and Admins only. Does anyone know how to do that?
Thanks for the help!< |

Download Add-On
Okay, as some people had the idea to restrict attachments a bit more here is my proposal:
- activate attachments globally on the board will only give admins the possibility to allow attachments in a forum
- admins or mods need to activate attachments explicitely (?)in their forums
- even if attachments are not allowed in a specific forum, admins and moderators will still have the ability to attach files
Please donwload the add-on and try implementing it, if it works for you too, I am going to include that in the mod and re-release it.
It is quit a bit coding, but it worked fine for me.
In the download included are two additional files: post.asp and post_info.asp which you might use directly if you did not make any further changes to your files.
Please let me know how it works.
Download Add-On
I think this is better than allowing attachments in private forums or where ever as this gives you full control over where attachements are possible and where not.< |

Proeder - I noticed that you state the last change to this zip was made on 5-9-04. I noticed no timestamp on any files beyond 5-2-04.
I tried installing and encountered a number of errors in test. I want to be sure before I pursue again that the zip I downloaded was the latest and greatest without any known bugs.
Is all ok with this zip? If yes I will try again and let you know what I encounter.
Thank you.< |

Hi Proeder,
I have updated your mod and its looking good, but, the dropdown for allowing attachments in the forums keeps re-setting back to not allowed, bar this is all seems to work fine, any ideas?
Kindest regards.< |

hkozlovsky: I think the latest update was regarding the download link; the zip which you can download from the link should be the latest.
But be aware that I am rigth before releasing a new version with enhanced features in the next few days.< |

After realizing (not mentioned in the instructions) to add code to POST.ASP from either POST.DEUTSCH.ASP or POST.ENGLISH.ASP, and ignore the supplied (and buggy) POST.ASP, the mod went in without a hitch. It's a very nice enhancement.
I do have a question though...
Have I overlooked an admin option somewhere that deletes uploaded files??? I could delete the files manually, but that doesn't clean up DB entries and eventually the tables would become huge even if the upload directories were empty.
Thanks.< |

Spiff:
You may delete files when you're logged in as admin and go to myfiles.asp. You are right that this does not delete the links in the regarding posts.
I am working on a new release which will store information to attachments in a database field rather than just writing a link in the post to it.
