But we need to be able to upload large documents, spreadsheets, PPTs, etc. for each other to view. If we can do the uploads/downloads of data....bbPress would be GREAT! But from what I can see one can only attach 100K docs. Is there a plugin for larger uploads? Server space is no problem for us.<br /> Thanks! --Nick </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/embeds-photos-in-user-posts#post-18770 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:47:08 +0000 chrishajer 18770@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>There is no rich text editor right now.

I'm looking for something where ideally, the user would be able to browse and pick out the photo from a file on their local disk, and up it goes to the post without needing to upload the photo in some photo share first. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/priority-1-imagefile-attachments#post-17539 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 22:50:54 +0000 _ck_ 17539@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I have now added the ability to do inline image viewing starting with version 0.1.5</p> <p>It's not completely finished but I know that ability was in demand so I'm making it available for testing right away. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/attachments-file-uploads-plugin#post-15768 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:17:18 +0000 HowToGeek 15768@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Very nice! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/proposed-method-for-file-attachments-and-uploads/page/2#post-15612 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:52:44 +0000 _ck_ 15612@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I agree with not doing the actions in the templates - that was a mistake WordPress did for awhile eh? The hooks can go inside <code>function edit_form</code> in the core, no?</p> <p>Just for clarification, because this one is important, <code>do_action(&#39;post_edit_form&#39;)</code> should go AFTER the <code>&lt;/form&gt;</code> is closed. </p> <p><code>do_action(&#39;pre_edit_form&#39;)</code> should be before the <code>&lt;form</code><br /> and <code>do_action(&#39;edit_form&#39;)</code> should be inside the form.</p> <p>If all the post_form's are actions, so should be the edit_forms. I don't think any are filters, wouldn't make sense...?</p> <p>This will help other plugins like my Signatures too.<br /> Less template edits needed, makes it easier for users.</p> <p>Of course I still have to support some 0.8.3 people so it's going to be awhile before this solves all problems but at least newer installs can benefit. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/attachments-file-uploads-plugin#post-15607 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:25:33 +0000 _ck_ 15607@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I've now implemented flexible restrictions in 0.0.6 based on file type or role based on your suggestion HowToGeek. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/proposed-method-for-file-attachments-and-uploads/page/2#post-15599 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:07:59 +0000 sambauers 15599@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I recall a ticket where mdawaffe was hesitant to put hooks in the templates.</p> <p>Would you require hooks in the templates? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/attachments-file-uploads-plugin#post-15592 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 08:35:38 +0000 _ck_ 15592@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>HowToGeek, that's easily doable, just more settings to fill out ;-)</p> <p>That reminds me that I'll have to give a list of accepted file types and sizes above or below the upload form. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/proposed-method-for-file-attachments-and-uploads/page/2#post-15591 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 08:30:02 +0000 _ck_ 15591@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>The ticket was months back, I'd have to search.<br /> It's fairly simple in theory though, why not mimic the existing hook structure for new posts to match editing existing posts:<br /> <code>pre_post_form</code> -&gt; <code>pre_edit_form</code><br /> <code>post_form</code> -&gt; <code>edit_form</code><br /> <code>post_post_form</code> -&gt; <code>post_edit_form</code> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/proposed-method-for-file-attachments-and-uploads/page/2#post-15581 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 23:29:13 +0000 sambauers 15581@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>@ _ck_</p> <p>Which ticket was he hook request in.

For editing existing posts there is absolutely no way to affect the template without editing it. There's no hooks for edit_form() or any of it's sub-functions or the template loader (the loader does the include AFTER the hook so nothing can be placed afterwards. I requested some hooks many month ago but they may have been missed (or ignored). This plugin will require (one, simple) edit of the <code>edit-post.php</code> template.</p> <p>(In theory it could be done via the bb_get_footer but that's really messy and the footer hook is AFTER the footer has been rendered). </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/proposed-method-for-file-attachments-and-uploads/page/2#post-15548 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 14:37:36 +0000 _ck_ 15548@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Yes there used to be a limit with readfile/passthru but supposedly fixed in newer PHP and even the old limit was 2mb which is fairly high anyway. Also there is some debate that flushing output and making sure compression/output buffers are turned off avoids the limit. We'll find out as more people test it.</p> <p>I'll have a version up for testing in 12 hours or so. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/proposed-method-for-file-attachments-and-uploads#post-15547 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 13:13:37 +0000 sambauers 15547@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Oh, and the file size may be limited by the memory limits in PHP that way too. Not the file upload size limits, but the memory allocation limits set in the PHP INI file.</p> <p>This stuff will come out in the wash once it is released and in the hands of users though. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/proposed-method-for-file-attachments-and-uploads#post-15545 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 13:10:47 +0000 sambauers 15545@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Piping things through PHP will be slower (but potentially more secure). </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/proposed-method-for-file-attachments-and-uploads#post-15539 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 07:44:55 +0000 _ck_ 15539@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Progress is excellent, way ahead of schedule, should have a public demo Saturday night (24 hours or so).</p> <p>Working on a auto-thumbnail method now for image uploads.</p> <p>I've come up with some extra security features like the files are not directly publicly accessible (stored in non-webroot directory) so they never get fed through the parsers and cannot be executed (ie. .php .html .asp) even if someone manages to trick a file extension or mime somehow. The only downside to this is that the files must be "dumped" through PHP (readfile) which will keep the PHP session open longer but unless you are serving multi-megabyte files at high traffic rates, this should not be a big issue (optionally you can make the files directly accessible off the web if this is critical issue). </p> <p>As a bonus the above method makes hotlinking impossible as you can set attachments as accessible to logged-in members only. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/proposed-method-for-file-attachments-and-uploads#post-15535 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 05:46:45 +0000 sambauers 15535@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>@ _ck_</p> <p>I think all languages place the file extension on the right of the filename. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/proposed-method-for-file-attachments-and-uploads#post-15530 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 02:11:36 +0000 Beer 15530@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I'm glad the donation idea is working. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/proposed-method-for-file-attachments-and-uploads#post-15525 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 21:56:38 +0000 HowToGeek 15525@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I donated towards this plugin as well.
