Help with storing attachments on S3, from legacy PHPBB3.0.8 board

Post by paul.webs101 »

Apologies if this isn't allowed or is posted in the wrong place.

I run a forum which is very heavily modified, but the original base was PHPBB3.0.8

We've a huge number of attachments which is beginning to be a problem for our server. I'd like instead to modify the functions_posting.php file so that attachments are uploaded to an S3 bucket instead of our server. Modifying view_

I've been unable to do this. I do have the S3 AWS toolkit installed and working uploading example data. But I can't work out how to modify functions_posting.php

Happy to make payment (or donation to project) for anyone who can help with this.

Hello.
You can pay for assistance in the Wanted! forum: viewforum.php?f=656

That being said, 3.0.x is outdated and you should consider updating. I don't think anyone here will take this on.

That's fair comment, but more than 50% of the code (not this uploads / attachment part) is custom written, so it's not really possible to move to a diff version, especially since the current one works fine.

Support for phpBB versions earlier than 3.2.0 has ended. Any support requests regarding those versions are limited to help with conversion to the latest version. I suspect you’re using an EOL version of PHP as well, same applies.
