UseBB Community

I am somewhat new to posting here and I may have missed it and I looked a bit but did not see it. is there any plans for adding attachments as a standard feature?

I would like to suggest the following.

Uploadable attachments via server (Not database)
Multi attachment support per forum settings
priv/user controls for attachment uploading
Global controls of allowed amount per user or pr user based
Extension controls. (much more secure)

I also believe in this kind of thing you could have a thing to turn this off in config also but i think it's fun with post atachements an such

Lol, was just about to suggest the same.. I'd LOVE to have a feature like this!

Yes, me to.

Could this be a feature in UseBB light ( UseBB 1.0 and below ) i think it's a kind of light feature

Also, when attaching an image, a thumbnail should appear, like in IPB.

Well maybe you don't attach an image ;P .. Well i mean like it should appear sometinhg like a

<hr width="100%"/><a href="post attachement">Attachment [mb_size]</a><hr width="100%"/>

i guess some of you guys understand what i mean

That's how I'd like it to be indeed, even when posting an Image, that thumbnail isn't necessary I think.. Just a 'Attachemnt' Link with a little paperclip icon would do just fine =)

Personally I don't know how it would fit in a light discussion board. It's also a bit late to implement such a big feature. :s

Maybe after 1.0 before the release of 2.0 (can be a long time).

Aww, Too bad That's quite the only feature I'm still missing in UseBB

Maybe it would be better to get a file upload engine and then files could be kept organized.

Maybe a mod could me made for this, and use the ACP module capacity in 0.7 for admins to control the attachments...

Indeed, let's hope some good php coder knows how t make a MOD for this... The only thing I know is how to upload and move a file via PHP

ok you're it's not a light feature but it's a good one! .. Well i guess we'll have to search for a real modder

It could be handy to program one with the ACP modules. The only problem i've got it that it generates 'open_basedir restriction' in effect errors on shared hosting (like mine). It'll take some time but i'm willing to code Anyone wants to help who can also code in php?

John Briggs is my old account. Forgot that data. anyhoot, I was suggesting for future releases. Not current build. maybe the next what is it? 2.0

This is really the only thing stopping me from using UseBB. I might take a look and see how much work would be involved.

Edit- Took a look at sources/post_reply.php and it's almost unreadable. I'm waiting for UseBB 2 before I touch any code which will hopefully be a little more structured rather than nested ifs.

I believe that everything will be fine.

I loved UseBB and hopping to use it for long time

I don't see many other ways to code sequentional without nested IF's.

Same feelings I have about PM's, do without.

Attachment files to post (or images)

sorry

Attachments can easily be implemented if you will save attachments as UUENCODE or MIME or something else just into the post body. In this case there is no security issues for the board, because you do not upload files to the file system, so they can not be opened thru the webserver script engine.

PS: or even make separate table in MySQL with attachments. You will need "post ID", "filename" and "filebody" and you can have more than one attachment per post. It would me much easier to do search for attachments in this case.

Attachments are coming in 2.0, 1.0 is closed to new features.
