Attachment Mod

[DavidIQ]

Do the files actually get uploaded to your server? Also did you put the included .tpl files in your ArgenBlue template folder?

[baz.g]

all the .tpl files were put in the argenblue templates folder as required and it does upload the file to the files directory but i have just noticed it slightly renames them. i.e. i uploaded test.jpg and it renamed it to test_102.jpg

That's actually "normal" when it comes to this mod. Can you give me an example of a posting on your board where you attached a file?

thanx very much for your help with this mate

here is an example:

I installed this mod after installing the Aphrodite style.

here's exactly what I did:

copied the attachment mod files as instructed in install.txt

the files destined for the subsilver folder were copied in the Aphrodite folder.

the mods required in the phpbb files were done by hand in the proper files and at the proper places!

I can attach stuff to posts, I see the paperclip but not the actual attachment. And this only in Aphrodite. If I switch to subsilver, I see them just fine!

I started tracing things back in Aphrodite in viewtopic_body.tpl and that's where I have these lines:

<div class="post-text">
{postrow.MESSAGE}<br /><br />
<span class="gensmall">{postrow.EDITED_MESSAGE}</span>
{postrow.ATTACHMENTS}
{postrow.SIGNATURE}
</div>

I went back into the code trying to figure out why it's not parsed and I got as far as as the display_attachments($post_id) function in attach_mod/displaying.php . My attachment type is an image and thus I did the following:

if ($image)
{
print "It's an image!!!";


My little add-on correctly displays in the page, but not the actual image itself.

Furthermore, inside the source code of the that topic there are no elements from the viewtopic_attach_body.tpl file.

It's as if it's not included at all even though $complete_filename is set to viewtopic_attach_body.tpl in function init_display_template($template_var, $replacement, $filename = 'viewtopic_attach_body.tpl')

Anyone can give me some hints as to where to look next ? I am a bit technical but require some expert help to dig me out of this one!

Thanks

You might want to check your viewforum.php and viewtopic.php files. Your .tpl files seem to be ok and have what's needed. Does the attachment mod show up in your profile and in the Admin Control Panel?

yes all the attachment mod stuff is in the ACP, i had a look at the viewforum and viewtopic.php files but i really dont know what i am looking for

the attachment mod seems to be in my profile as well:

Upload Quota:
0
0% 50% 100%
[Uploaded: 0 Bytes / Quota: 50 MB / 0% of total]
User Attachment Control Panel

but by that i see that it doesnt recognise that i have attached anything?

u r being great and thanx so much, i look forward to your next reply

I don't know that it would matter but it should probably be this:

Code: Select all

 <div class="post-text">
{postrow.MESSAGE}<br /><br />
<span class="gensmall">{postrow.EDITED_MESSAGE}</span>
{postrow.ATTACHMENTS}
<span class="gensmall">{postrow.SIGNATURE}</span>
</div>

you're right...it didn't do nothing

I was mentioning those two files so that maybe you can double-check that you did what was mentioned in install.txt correctly and didn't miss something. Sounds like you might be.

The Aphrodite style might not like how the viewtopic_attach_body.tpl file is designed. Maybe playing around with it a bit might get the box showing.

I have added this mod to my forum just fine in SubSilver and I have now added it to Solaris but when you view the name of the file attached its very bright and impossible to read (note that solaris has a black background) so I was hoping someone could tell me how to change the color of the font/background. Just to clarify what i'm talking about its the filename directly above description (the very first thing after the separator).

tried that too!

Do you know how I can print the content of the variable holding the attachment template ?

The last info I could track is this:

$template->assign_block_vars('postrow.attach.cat_images', array(
'DOWNLOAD_NAME' => $display_name,
'S_UPLOAD_IMAGE' => $upload_image,

'IMG_SRC' => $img_source,
'FILESIZE' => $filesize,
'SIZE_VAR' => $size_lang,
'COMMENT' => $comment,
'L_DOWNLOADED_VIEWED' => $lang['Viewed'],
'L_DOWNLOAD_COUNT' => sprintf($lang['Download_number'], $attachments['_' . $pos
t_id][$i]['download_count']))
);

$display_name, $upload_image, etc do have values and supposedly they get assigned..but what happens next ? I have no kloo!

ok it says here:

Code: Select all

# 
#-----[ FIND ]---------------------------------------------
# around line 1209
		'U_POST_ID' => $postrow[$i]['post_id'])
	);

# 
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]---------------------------------------
# The Line have to be added AFTER the ');' and BEFORE the '}' (without single quotes)
	display_post_attachments($postrow[$i]['post_id'], $postrow[$i]['post_attachment']);

and mine looks like this:

Code: Select all

'U_POST_ID' => $postrow[$i]['post_id'])
	);
	display_post_attachments($postrow[$i]['post_id'], $postrow[$i]['post_attachment']);
	if ($display_ad){
		if (!$board_config['ad_old_style'] && $display_ad)
		{
			$template->assign_block_vars('postrow.switch_ad',array());
		}
		else
		{
			$template->assign_block_vars('postrow.switch_ad_style2',array());
		}
	}
}

is that right? thats the only thing that i could query with it, everything else is exactly as it should be
