Problems with Attachment Mod

[mocap3069]

Where can I get the pre-modded files so I can check some of my files to make sure I modded them correctly?
This is a commercial forum and since there are so many modded files I CANNOT mess this install up. I cannot
use the pre-modded files since I have multiple mods installed on the forum.

I was able to get the forum running on my test server at home and I fixed a couple of parse errors, but
I do not see the attachment option at all on my forum when I click on New Topic. Any ideas?

More testing confirmed that it only does not work on the Topic level but does work for Private Messages.
HELP!!!

Are you using subSilver?

Hello,

I have "quite" the same problem, since I have installed attachment_mod (2.4.5) with phpBB 2.0.22 and a french language package (all with the standard SubSilver theme)

and I can't see the "box" which normally allows registered users to upload files situated under their post when posting.

I don't have any errors in the forum, the admin section shows the attachment mod configuration and tells me that "my configuration seems ok"

Please help if you have an idea of the problem

Same as the previous question...are you using SubSilver?

[stib]

Thanks for answering so fast ! I should have checked sooner for response

Yes I'm using the Subsilver theme (the default one i got with phpbb)

I have "quite" the same problem, since I have installed attachment_mod (2.4.5) with phpBB 2.0.22 and a french language package (all with the standard SubSilver theme)

I have spent a lot of time on this problem yesterday, and I finally decided to start a new installation, and to add the attachment mod to a fresh phpbb...
I think it wasn't working because I didn't modified all those *.php and *.tpl files

I have very carefully modified according to the install guide (install.txt), and now I can see the box !!!! 8)
... but... (unfortunately, I always end up with a but in these situations ^^ )

Now the problem is that I can't upload any kind of file !
I type a subject, message, choose a file (.pdf or .txt for example since I have allowed those 2 in the admin panel), even type a file descripion, and every time the answer at the top of the page is the same :

"The Extension pdf is not allowed"

I don't understand since I have authorised *.pdf in the group "documents" and allowed upload in my subject ...

Have you enabled the documents group in extensions management?

[stib]

Here are my screens from admin
Yes, I have "allowed" the document group but when I clicked on the little "+", there were no specified formats to allow...
So I tried to add "*.txt" and ".txt" in the "document" group, but it doesn't change the result... I can't upload txt or pdf files, even though they are added in admin config.

I hope I am clear enough

[DavidIQ]

You're not supposed to put a * or a . in the extension. Just txt or pdf will suffice.

[stib]

aah !
I haven't read this anywhere ...
IT WORKS !!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much !!

Have a nice day.

I'm having a similar issue. A registered member of my Forum can't see the "add attachment" option when posting a reply or starting a new thread. As the admin, I can... However, they have the attachment option when sending PM's.

The attachment option is not visible to them with the Subsilver theme or my default Saphir them.

It's probably a problem with permissions. Check forum permissions in advanced mode. You should see the 2 attachment mod options at the very right of the permissions table.

[keith10456]

You hit the nail on the head!!!!

Thanks... And thanks for creating this Forum

Hi
I'm having the same problem. I have a forum and member of Forum can't see the "add attachment" option when posting a reply or start a new topic.

Is that a development issue or need to replace the existing uploding tool?
Please guide me.

Attachment MOD is for phpBB 2.0 and is over 6 years old now. Support has ended.
