    you did everything correct. i wrote it wrong the first time, but imidiatly fixed it. so i assume u either copied from the file or from my wrong version in those few seconds. anyways. this part is PHP and shouldnt be part of any sql u put directly into phpmydamin.".$Configuration['DATABASE_TABLE_PREFIX']."
    the correct is written in my post above. its suppose to be LUM_. If u look up the DATABASE_TABLE_PREFIX in your config, thats what it will say

    Dear JDW, I dont mean to be mean or judgemental, but from the amount of problems you have, and the lack of understanding in order to fix them yourself, I your probably not the right man for this job. Either hire or ask a friend or someone to do this for you.

    Mr Do,

    Many thanks for correcting my oversight of your code. Last night, I had in fact copied the code out of the /extensions/Attachments/default.php file you referred me to instead of copying your code out of this thread. Now that I have copied the correct code, it works perfectly! The "LUM_Attachment" table is now created, and I can enable Attachments 2.1 and post new discussions without the Fatal Error message! (I'm still very curious as to why this LUM_Attachment table was missing and why Attachments 2.1 couldn't create or re-create it, but now that I have created it, and since no one seems to know, I won't dwell on that point.)

    Unfortunately, I still cannot save attachments, even as an Admin. I can save new discussions and comments, but any attachments that I try to save with those discussions or comments will simply not appear in the discussion or comment. I've set the permissions on my /forum/uploads/ folder to 777, so that isn't the problem. The file I tried to attach/upload was a tiny GIF file. I've also checked Extension Options > Attachments Settings > Upload Path and confirmed it is as follows:

    /home/xxx/yyy.com/forum/uploads/%userid%/%year%/%month%/

    I even tried using the following path (no tags), but it didn't make the attachments appear:

    /home/xxx/yyy.com/forum/uploads/

    And yes, I used my FTP client to verify that the /forum/uploads/ directory is indeed empty (no attachments saved in it, nor any folders). I also verified that I have both settings ticked (enabled) in my Admin role: Add attachments & Manage attachments

    Any further thoughts in light of this?

    -------------------------------------------

    Mr Do, although I read your comment to MySchizoBuddy about me last night, I decided it would be best if I didn't comment on it. But since you bring up the point again today, and now sending it to me directly, I really have little choice but to offer you my complete thoughts on the matter. My intent here is not to offend you anymore than your intent was not to offend me.

    With that said, please know that if my professors in engineering school had told me "James, you lack the ability to become an EE -- why don't you become a history major instead," I would have likely lost all heart and given up. But thank God my instructors lauded questions and promoted gumption and endurance. I made it through engineering school and although I am by no means the world's best electrical engineer, the experience served to show me that I can do pretty much what I set my mind to.

    The issue really is one of how I compare with others in the minds of you kind people on this site. You have offered tremendous assistance to me, and for that I am grateful and have tried to show that respectfulness to you in all my posts, giving due credit and thanks where appropriate. But your feelings about me most likely stem from the fact that I am "unique" among those who come here to post. And about that, I am not surprised. In my many years of posting in support forums, I have found that most people with problems "give up" early on. Most people won't take the time to write out every last detail in support forums or otherwise work with others toward solving a problem. But such attitudes are selfish, in my opinion. Why? Because of all the poor souls who later come to the forum seeking help on the same topics. That's precisely what I did when I came to this site. You will notice that I didn't start off by starting new threads without having first scanned this forum for people who had similar problems!

    I've written about my problems in detail for two reasons: (1) so kind people such as yourself can better understand my problem and provide a better solution in a shorter amount of time, and (2) so that other people who follow in my footsteps will come to the site and find the solution to their problem straight away. I have no regrets about my participation in this forum thus far.

    I would also like to combat the misnomer that I have problems with "everything" concerning Vanilla. That is totally untrue. I simply do not post about every single thing that works because, well, I shouldn't have to. Therefore, you only are reading about the problems I have on this site, and honestly, if I had no problems, I probably wouldn't be posting here! Nor would I be posting here if I didn't want to find a solution to those same problems. The problems I have do NOT lie with my service provider, so please, let's stop dwelling on that. Please. The problem I had with my server wasn't so much my provider's fault as it was mine. I simply was not aware that I had been moved from one server to another and the files on the older server had been deleted, and I had been logging into the older server which showed no tables in my jdwages database! You can clearly see why that would have created troubles for me. But that is out of the way, and there are no other problems that we can lay blame to my provider on.

    To conclude, I wish to simply say that I have been assigned the task of creating a forum for our site at work, but I am in the unfortunate position of not also having been assigned a budget to pay someone else to do the job. If I had the budget, I would certainly be paying someone to setup a full phpBB forum for us, with all the bells and whistles. But because a close friend of mine (a PHP programmer) recommended Vanilla to me as something he felt that I could probably "do myself," I came here. I would not have known about or considered Vanilla if it were not for him. And despite my problems, I still and thankful to my friend for making the suggeston. Because with the helpful suggestions that everyone (especially yourself, Mr. Do) is making, I am slowly fixing the problems one by one, seeing a little light at the end of the Vanilla tunnel.

    I greatly appreciate the time all of you have taken to assist me, and I sincerely hope that help will further the Vanilla community by assisting many others who come to this site seeking the same wonderful assistance I have been so kindly given. Thank you.

    JDW : Have you given yourself all the appropriate role permissions needed to post with attachments? There is also the thing in extensions/Attachment/default.php where you must enable the file types you wis hto be able to upload on your forum. There seems to me to be some inconsistencies here when it comes to file extension and mime-type, but basically the way to success here is to read the error messages and add the mimetype and file extension. The lines I refer to here are: $Context->Configuration['ATTACHMENTS_ALLOWED_FILETYPES'] = array (
    'image/gif' => array('gif', 'GIF'),
    'image/png' => array('png', 'PNG'),
    'image/jpeg' => array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'JPG', 'JPEG'),
    'image/pjpeg' => array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'JPG', 'JPEG'),
    'application/pdf' => array('pdf', 'PDF'),
    'application/x-pdf' => array('pdf', 'PDF'),
    'application/msword' => array('doc', 'DOC', 'rtf', 'RTF'),
    'application/asp-unknown' => array('zip', 'ZIP'),
    'application/zip' => array('zip', 'ZIP'),
    'application/x-zip-compressed' => array('zip', 'ZIP'),
    'application/octet-stream' => array('rar', 'RAR', 'doc', 'DOC','w3d','W3D'),
    'text/plain' => array('txt', 'TXT'),
    'application/x-gzip' => array('gz', 'GZ', 'tar.gz', 'TAR.GZ'),
    'application/download' => array('rar', 'RAR'),
    'application/x-shockwave-flash' => array('swf', 'SWF'),
    'application/x-director' => array('dcr', 'DCR'),
    'video/quicktime' => array('mov', 'MOV'),
    );

    Dear Mr JDW, I apologize for my arrogance. You are perfectly correct in your statement. And you behave in the proper way for someone asking assistance, and that is probably also why you have received so much of it. I applaud your persistence and I will continue to help you as best I can. Lets get that forum of yours up and running! :)

    Mr Do,

    I greatly appreciate your time in offering me further assistance. Per your advice, I opened /extensions/Attachments/default.php and compared the filetypes section with the list you provided. Since your list contains a few more lines than were in my default.php file, I copied your code and pasted it in my default.php. I saved the default.php file (using TextWrangler) to my server. I then gave default.php 777 permissions (even though I don't need to do that). I then verified that do in fact have the Attachments 2.1 extension loaded and that my Administrator role has "Add attachments" and "Manage attachments" ticked (enabled). Under "Extension Options" my "Upload Path" is as follows:

    /home/xxx/yyy.com/forum/uploads/

    And the /uploads directory has 777 permissions. Maximum filesize is set to: 512000. "Path to your old attachments folder" field is blank. I also have a .htaccess file in my /forum/ directory which has the following line:

    SecFilterRemove 300015

    My reasons for disabling mod_security are explained in detail here.

    Despite all this, when I login as an Admin and then create a new discussion or comment with a small filesize attachment (I've tried small GIFs and PDFs), the discussion/comment is created but without the attachment. No error message is given, and no errors appear in my server log either. The attachment simply does not show up. And again, when I look inside my "uploads" folder via my FTP client, there is nothing in it.

    Just to be sure, I edited my Admin role to disabled both Attachment options. I then disabled the Attachments 2.1 extension. I then deleted the /extensions/Attachments folder from my server. I then downloaded Attachments 2.1 again, installed it in /extensions, enabled the extension in my forum, then edited my Admin role to have those two Attachments options enabled. I created a new comment with a jpg attachment. The comment was created but the attachment was no where to be found. Checking inside the /forum/uploads/ folder showed no files at all.

    A perlexing problem indeed!

    Mr Do,

    Many thanks for your assistance. I awoke this morning and was pleasantly surprised in finding that you had indeed saved attachments in my forum!

    I tried a test again in Safari 2.0.4 (under OS 10.4.9) and found that I still could NOT add attachments. However, I then fired up Firefox 2.0.0.2 (also under OS 10.4.9) and found that my attachments could be saved! Aha! So we have a bug in Attachments 2.1 or Safari 2.x that prevents the saving of file attachments in Safari! (I apologize for not having tested in Firefox early on, as that would have made this discovery sooner.)

    I will therefore simply need to make a note to my forum members that Safari users cannot add attachments and they would need to use Firefox instead. That may not sit well with some Mac users, but it's the only option unless Jazzman can find a workaround in the next version of Attachments.

    A thousand thanks, Mr Do, for your kindness in working with me to spot the root problem!

    I dislike pointing out a problem without offering a solution, however...

    If it does not work in Safari there must be some non-standard mechanism being employed.
    I upload files using Safari all the time using php-powered forms.

    Wanderer, I would like to confirm what you mean. You are using Safari to upload to other php forums? Or are you saying that you installed Attachments 2.1 to your Vanilla forum and found that you could upload attachments to your Vanilla forum with Safari? Because I've tried uploading with Attachments 2.1 using Safari on two different Macs, using two different internet connections, and it won't work on either machine. But it works fine in Firefox for the Mac. I personally think this is simply a bug in Attachments 2.1, because Safari is really a pretty good browser and is compatible with most sites that I visit, including forums that allow you to upload files.

    Thanks for the great stuff.
    I have a problem with attached file names, but I dont know where this comes from.
    If I try to download a 2-byte-language-file-name file with IE 6, the file name changes into meaningless roman alphabet name without file type extension. For Example, when I try to download a file named "言語生活.ppt" or "参考資料.zip" etc, IE asks me if I save an unkown file "CALDDE5" or "DACNJK4" etc.
    And Safari downloads the file with garbled name + file type extension.
    FF and Opera are good.
    How could i solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

    Hi, you can change the line #379 of default.php from:
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$FileName.'"'); to if (eregi('msie', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.urlencode($FileName).'"');
    else header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$FileName.'"');

    Since I haven't Mac to test Safari browser, This may just fix your problem in IE. (Could you tell me the result with safari?)
    // It's test in my forum with UTF-8 encode only, if you using other encode, you may have to use iconv to change $FileName to UTF-8 encode first.

    Same here. There seems to be a few issues with javascript events. See also http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/6155/safari-and-deleting-comments/#Item_1

    Sometimes page reloads don't seem to get fired off in Safari so any javascript code waiting on a page reload fails. This affects Attachments as well as deleting comments.

    quoo, you are not an idiot. It simply is an unfortuate fact that we cannot delete our own posts on this site! If we could, then we could delete our own irrelevant posts, reduce the overall footprint of this forum on Mark's server, and make the forum a cleaner and better place for all of us. And while Vanilla does allow Administrators to allow members to delete posts, there is no timer. Perhaps that is why Mark doesn't allow us to delete our own posts. I think there should be a time limit of something like 48 hours for you to delete your most recent posts. That timer would then prevent naughty folk from deleting ALL their posts, should they ever become disgruntled on a site and wish to wipe all their posts in an attempt to screw up past post relevance. This would really be a nice addition to this forum, and to all our forums.

    But now that I think of it, perhaps better than a "timer" (or something to supplement a timer) would be a requirement to first have any "reply" posts be deleted before you can delete yours. Meaning, if you post two days ago and two people reply to your post, you obviously shouldn't be allowed to delete your post without first having asked to two repliers to delete theirs. Then their posts would not be out of place when your post is deleted. But obviously, something such as this would need to be built into the framework of Vanilla itself, and such is certainly a subject for another thread.

    Of course, even honest mistakes like quoo made are useful to others. Perhaps this has happened to someone else, they've read quoo's comment, checked their JS settings and it's quickly solved their problem. Considering you can edit your post, I think there's enough in place already ;)

    I'd just like to ask what 'Manage attachments' actually does?

    I gave a role this permission, they uploaded something and then were able to click edit & then had the option to delete the attachment or upload more.

    I removed the role permission and they could still do the same.

    I believe the two permissions are:
    Add attachments
    Manage attachments <----------------

    There's a problem with the Notify Extension that manifests itself when you use the Attachments extension.

    After I installed the Attachments extension, I couldn't download any binary file (images, pdfs, word docs, etc). The host application would tell me the file was corrupt, or something like that.

    On text documents, I noticed that the file was always padded with a couple of extra newlines at the top. Obviously, so file had some extra carriage returns, but which file?

    So, I disabled my other extensions one at a time, and found that Notify was the culprit. In both the Notify/default.php and Notify/ajax.php, there were two extra line feeds at the bottom of the files.

    So, if you have Notify installed, and your Attachments are not downloading properly, check your Notify extension.

    I have a different kind of problem. My site recently changed hosts and I had to migrate data the hard way i.e. manual backing up the files and transferring the data as well as DB dumps to the new servers. The transition is almost fine except for a problem in the attachments plugin.

    Previously, on my old server, I was able to Upload all my files and the plugin worked great. Since the day I've migrated to the new server - I cant see any attachments link on my comments section. I tried disabling and re-enabling the plugin but with no result. The strangest thing is that even the attachments plugin's settings link (which should be displayed on the settings page >> left side navigation) is not being displayed.

    Can someone help me out?

    Sounds like your attachments default file got corrupted or something...can you download the default.php off your server and check it out? Might be worth just completely re-uploading the whole extension.

    I reverted back to my old attachments version (1.4) and it was working like a charm. The attachments button was back again. But when I again re-uploaded and activated v2.1 the same thing happened. The attachments button disappeared from the discussions, there is no attachments settings link on the options page and yet somehow the attachments plugin does seem to work cause many of my forum's users are able to upload attachemnts.

    Hi Everyone!

    I have a huge problem. I am not only new to Vanilla (just accidentally typed Vankilla....Freudian slip, eh?), but new to owning a website, and new to computers. Prior to March, I had a webtv...version for dummies. I bought this forum I have now in February, got a computer in March, and have been crash-coursing it since. My website is under the account of the individual I purchased it from. Last week, it went offline. There was an upgrade, if that is the right word, to PHP 5.5 by the server from PHP 4.4., that I think must have made the site go offline. It came back on the next evening, after some fixes by the server, and everything was fine. The next day, I lost all my photo attachments on the forum, the content of the stickies but not the topic of them, and the Private Whispers started as Private Whispers, but not the whispers contained within already started Discussions. I also cannot "delete" anything. At first, that same day. I lost all the whispers, but retrieved them by changing the settings on them. I also cannot click on any of the uploaded extensions and add them to the forum, as a Microsoft postback error comes up. The only photos that remain are some of the copy and pasted ones, and the ones I have since posted. Since my forum is built on and revolves around a library of photos of horses, documenting the breed I am involved with, it is crucial that I retrieve those photos. That same day that I lost all these features, the individual that holds the server account uploaded the new upgrade of Vanilla to the forum. Since then, I've been at a loss as to what to do. The forum was working fine on the older version. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I need to do to retrieve the old attachment files on the forum as well as the other "fixes." I have read and read until I short-circuit. Yours truly, Clueless in Vanilla-Ville.

    Hi Guys, so now I'm here. Thing is, I don't speak code. But that obviously isn't stringently necessary since my Vanilla is up and running and it's beautiful. That said, there are a few little things...

    The issue: I got the Attachments Add-on and the Multi-File-Add-on (maybe that's important) - everything works just like it should. BUT when I try to upload anything bigger than 10 MB Firefox cancels after a few minutes and says: Connection closed; Website unavailable. I set the max. Filesize to 300 MB, so that can't be the cause.

    Is there some kind of timeout defined in one of those .php files that I could edit to make it work? Or do I have to change something somewhere else, like the Server? If this is the wrong place, since it got nothing to do with the plugin itself, please point me in the right direction.

    If you need to know more, I'm here... THANKS! Peace.

    P.S.: Haha JDW, I did everything along with you in this thread... I wish I would have started on page 2 (I didn't see the "More Comments" link... :-)

    What upload speed does your connection have?

    Awesome. So I did a search for "PHP Limit" and learned I have to edit the php.ini file - and since the values I was supposed to edit didn't exist I just pasted them in there and voila! I just uploaded a 30 MB file. (With 512kbps BTW)

    Thanks a lot for providing me with the needed terminology!

    And while the 'post_max_size' and 'upload_max_size' values are pretty self-explanatory and now set to 300 MB, bigger files still abort after approx. 10 minutes. Turning up the 'memory_limit' didn't help. Do you know if there's a time-limit-value to paste into this php.ini file?

    Google turns up with way to much results.

    P.S.: I know that's what FTP and stuff is for but it would be SO convenient to just post (big) files on the board...

    There are some sort of php timeout flags set but 10 minutes is already a pretty long time. A 300MB file at that speed would take about an hour and a half...I wouldnt really want to have my timeout set that high.

    OK, now, just for the sake of trying - I put in those 2 available timeout 'flags' with 1 1/2 hours.
    Don't know if it will work - on the first test Firefox canceled again, but I didn't watch the time spent.

    What I'm now interested in of course is why, Minisweeper, wouldn't you want your timeout set that high?

    Security or abuse concerns? Thanks for your time! Peace.

    Well just incase some poorly written scripts were running which had a continuous loop or something. If you had one of those opened by a browser and the user then went off somewhere else they could remain running and clog up resources unnecessarily. It's not a huge issue I just wouldnt be so keen on it purely for the sake of being able to upload 300MB files over the web..

    Some problems were encountered
    The file you attempted to upload (Cloud_Commander.zip) was of type "application/download", but the file extension "zip" did not match the accepted extensions for this type of file: rar, RAR

    faraz_k86 I guess you gave yourself the appropiate role permissions to post this kind of attachment, like that: http://lussumo.com/community/?CommentID=65655

    There are some that aren't available by default.* That's in the file 'default.php' inside the 'Attachments' folder inside the 'extensions' folder.

    I also did a search for 'MINE' in this file and replaced all instances with 'MIME', maybe that's it.

    Since I'm a total beginner and don't now myself what's REALLY going on I just can TRY to help...

    :-)

    Doublepostgoodness. Minisweeper, I see. Too bad you can't tie these settings to one specific script.
    I would btw be happy if I get 100 MB to work... well, I guess FTP it will be.

    THANKS for teaching me stuff!
