Not really a bug but a suggestion/comment...

In YSE, when you attach a pic, it is shown after your sig. I think the sig should be the very last thing in a post. Can the attachments be displayed where the file is described as an attachment ie, where the paperclip is?

You will be able to move it easilly with the template system.

And, any attachment(s) you have on your posts are put before the signature now by default.

Applied...

on this... could there be a kind of attachment tag to use the attachment in the middle of the message body? something like

I took this picture at the beach with my friend
[attach=1]

these are my son and wife playing in the sand
[attach=2]

more text... blah blah...

and it'd use the attachments that the member uploads with the post form... and if used in this way, with the tags, they won't be displayed in the default way

I think something like this would be a REALLY awesome feature

Also... will there be a way for users to be able to see the location of their attachment...? reason being I've got a forum for users to upload stuff to use... (moderated of course)... this of course would not be possible with the current sMF system (to my knowledge)...

Why wouldn't it? You attach the file - and then right click on the link, and click copy. You'd have to allow attachments for guests, but it would work just fine.

Hmmmm,

How about a Coppermine intergration mod with folders assigned and linked to a member / thread ?
That way the images could be viewed through Coppermine Gallery all together or could be attached to messages in order and appear there too ? ? ?

hmmm... I wasnt aware you could use the php script address for the image actually... $:-\$

hehehe, thanks ^.^
but what -is- the 'security' for then...? (why not just direct link).. its probably been mentioned... but myeh

Because you can turn hotlinking/guest viewing OFF for attachments.

For example, certain Charter Member-only downloads have just been attachments. You can't get to them, because you aren't a Charter Member - but they can. The same link that works for them won't work for you.

aaaa, awesome

thanks for clearing that up

does that mean that the folder itself is also locked... so if I somehow managed to find the -real- file name and typed that in... would I blocked from ALL files doing that...? (assumes thats not really an SMF thing but a server thing...?)

[Unknown] · December 26, 2003, 04:50:34 AM

That's a server thing... it does encrypt the filenames some, but it can only do so much...

Luckily, you can (and here we do!) store the attachments outside of public_html...
