Requires bbPress Version: 0.9 or higher
Compatible up to: 0.9
Anonymous uploading works well enough on huge sites like 4ch so I'm not as sceptical as you are about it, but still I agree that it needs caution. Looks as if flood checks and similar might also be required. Thanks for your help with that.
I'm looking at the formatting for the blockquoted images issue, but a simple solution does not seem readily apparent? Perhaps an image width CSS trick as has been discussed?
Try putting in your main style.css
blockquote {overflow:hidden;}
(be sure to hard refresh after you try it)
I'm using the last version of bb-attachments with bbPress 1.0.4. The bb-attachments is above the root server, as you note in the txt, the forum users can upload the files, and the files are in the folder but when someone clic to the image (e.g.) the imagen cannot be seen in any viewer, is as it was broken, but if I download the file from ftp the image works fine :/
i was wondering about this issue from another post:
2. Image files do not open in the browser, but rather are downloaded? Ideally using Highslide would be preferable, but would it not at least be possible to have the image open in a new window? Having it behave more like a normal image (so you could right click save as) would be more intuitive for users.
i realize that I could move the bb-attachments directory to somewhere under the webroot, but this creates a security issue. Would it be possible to setup some kind of php page as a proxy the image. It seems you're doing this already to download the attachment, so what do I change to make it serve the image in browser?
that was dumb. I totally didn't notice the inline display option. just ignore that last post ;-)
I added 'pdf' as an allowed extension in 'default' but those with member status still get denied mime error. application/pdf and application/x-pdf are in the array of allowed mime types, but it only seems to work when application/octet-stream is allowed.
Also, checking the bb-attachments table, I see that .txt files are also showing up as application/octet-stream
p.s. bbpress 0.9.0.3, bb-attachments 0.2.2
nathany, it's a limitation of the functions available on your host to determine mime types.
There is simply no way around it if your hosts's PHP doesn't have the proper functions.
You'll have to allow octet-stream and force by extension type.
Hi guys. I'm having a problem with uploading word docs as attachments. I have jpg, gif, txt, pdf, etc... working just fine, but I get the following error when I try to upload a Microsoft Word document:
[denied mime] document_test.doc (32 KB)
I have went into bb-attachments.php and updated the $bb_attachments['allowed']['mime_types'] to include 'application/octet-stream', but that doesn't seem to do the trick.
Any ideas? Could this be some type of php issue with my web server? I'm using Media Temple grid server if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance for the help!
It's possible your PHP config doesn't have the proper fallback to octet-stream.
Maybe try adding these:
application/vnd.msword
application/vnd.ms-word
application/word
application/x-msword
Hi! I installed the bb-attachments plugin on my forum, but I have problems creating the bb-attachments folder (I don't know where to put it).
I saw in the bb-attachments.php file that the plugin puts the uploaded files to the "$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']/bb-attachments/" folder. I created a phpinfo file and it says that $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = home/j/o/t/jotgi/html. I know I should put the plugin's folder in home/j/o/t/jotgi/html, but I'm not able to know if the folder I created is in the place I need to... Any idea?
Thanks!
In your case the safe place would be
/home/j/o/t/jotgi/bb-attachments/
but if your system doesn't let you make it there you'll have to use the less safe
/home/j/o/t/jotgi/html/bb-attachments/
Hi!
Thanks for your response! I'm hosting at GoDaddy, and I can't create the /home/j/o/t/jotgi/bb-attachments/ folder. Should I change anything in the plugin file to use the /home/j/o/t/jotgi/html/bb-attachments/ folder?
Thanks!
You'll have to use the one with html and then change it inside the plugin settings.
I believe there was another person who had a problem with godaddy.
It works! Thanks!
I automatically created a .po file and I translated it, but it doesn't work. Do you know if your plugin supports .po files, or do I have to translate the plugin editing de bb-attachments.php file?
Thanks!
I believe there's been a misunderstanding about how to do translation hooks in plugins for bbPress where each plugin has to have it's own namespace. Unfortunately I never put that in there and I will probably have to fix all my plugins because of that.
bb-attachments should be getting an admin menu within the next few months so that will make translations alot easier
Mhhh... I don't understand your first paragraph (I'm not an English speaker), could you explain it better, please?
I have a feature question, 2 actually:
1) Can you make it so that each user is limited to 1 attachment. So after they upload and attach one thing, they can never attach anything again, until I say they can...
2) Can you limit this feature on a per board basis. In other words can I enable attachments for just one board, and disable it everywhere else?
Thanks!
Hi I get simply 'Failed' for a pdf file which is 472kb. Doesn't make a difference for any other formats - same message. How can I troubleshoot this and any suggestions? I'm using the latest version of bbpress.
hey _ck_,
first of all thank you for this well-thought-out plugin. it's been a breeze to set up and works flawlessly.
now i unfortunately have to add it to an existing bbpress-0.8.3 installation, which, as the readme says, your plugin's not made for. do you think it's even possible to make it compatible?
i thought i'd give it a try in desparate need for an attachment plugin and (so far) only ran into a problem with attaching a file to a new post as bb_new_post() got named bb_insert_post() and changed a lot [ref. http://trac.bbpress.org/changeset?old_path=trunk&old=998&new_path=trunk&new=1399
so i need your advice: should i even start to try changing it or are there any other file upload plugins for 0.8.3 that you/anybody here can recommend?
thank you very much in advance!!
I assume you must have hacked the core of the 0.8.3 install because upgrading it to 0.9 should be fairly easy otherwise.
No other attachment plugins exist, this one was creating after a great deal of requests. They are not very easy to create.
0.8.3 is probably missing a few critical hooks my plugin needs to work.
You'd probably be better off going through 0.8.3 and turning your hacks into plugins and upgrade from there. Another trick is to convert your modified 0.8.3 into a SVN install and then using the SVN to upgrade to 0.9 . This is done by first downloading 0.8.3 via the SVN, then copying over your install on top of the SVN, then using the SVN to upgrade to 0.9
Keep in mind you should do completely backups including mysql if you try the SVN upgrade I mentioned as it might not be reversable via the SVN
0.9 has some speedups over 0.8.3 too
