In comparison to the File Attachments and Automatic Image Galleries plugin, the "File Bank" extension provides an alternative method of uploading files to your forum server, and providing direct links to them in forum postings, that way organizing file library or centralized file storage. Files are not "attached" to the messages on-the-fly, so that the add-on looks and works like a completely "standalone" script; however upload rights are merged with the forums membership (despite Guest uploads could be allowed as well).

The add-on doesn't require jQuery or other complicated client-side scripts; instead, it's coded using very native standard functions. Besides of the compatibility with almost all browsers, such approach also provides a long-term being in running this script with no signigicant updates.

How it works

• Before posting a message, click the "Upload file" button — in default installation it appears above the message form.
  You may attach any of the specified file type, incl. pictures (.JPG, .GIF, .PNG), Adobe .PDF, MS Office (.DOC, .XLS, .PPS), Archives (.ZIP, .RAR) and many other — any file type and extension could be added/configured in options.
  
  
  
  
• If a picture is going to be uploaded, in the opened form you have a choice to configure the Thumbnail and Full-size options. In your message, it's possible to reference the source picture by a Thumbnail, or upload a single Thumbnail with no full-size link; also resize the source picture to a certain width to reduce its size. This is a unique approach which allows to publish your pictures in an organized manner. If just a binary file is uploaded, just leave defaults.
  
  
  
  
• When the upload starts, you'll see a little process indicator, like this: . Please wait, until the upload fully completes.
• Once the file is uploaded, you get a link reference to the file, and a set of quick icons to copy it to the memory buffer, or immediately pasting into the message in a single click. References to pictures are automatically provided with the full valid BB code.

Advantages

• All files are shared on your own space. That means, they always will be there with no expiration or deletion unless you want so. Extending your own webspace with this add-on, you don't need to worry anymore about the expired links on free file sharing services. Instead, your files could be linked from other web sources.
• All files are physically saved in the server's folders, with the priority to use original filenames. That's why they are easy to access by crawlers, and with this addon you will be able to build a high-quality content that is profitably indexable.
• On the other hand, using Apache's .htaccess it's possible to secure the File Bank so only users referenced by the links from your forum or website could access the uploaded files (this would be useful if you'd like to enable the Bank just for a non-public community).
• It is possible to upload unlimited number of files and provide unlimited number of references to them in a forum posting (however please note only one file will be allowed to upload at once — it may give your server a lot of rest in a case of uploading of big files).

Configuration Settings

Modifying the configuration file allows to:

• turn on/off an anonymous access for uploads (when turned ON, File Bank automatically becomes securely compatible with Human Authorization/CAPTCHA add-on, that means guests will be forced to enter CAPTCHA code before they upload a file);
• specify any file type allowed for upload, and set file size limitations which may differ for guests and members;
• specify certain moderators for the storage area;
• set one or more email addresses which will get a notification after a file has been uploaded;
• allow/disallow users to delete their own uploaded files.

Useful Features

File Bank addon provides a set of powerful administrative post-manipulations. Admin and moderators are allowed to:

• delete a group of selected files at once;
• move a group of files at once to a different folder;
• search for many files at once in forum messages; this allows to effectively clean up the storage, if the files provided are not used anywhere;
• edit file's description and replace the file with a newest version.

File authors (forum members only) are allowed to:

• delete one or more of their files at once (if allowed by Configuration);
• within a limited time, move their file(s) to a different storage folder;
• look up many files at once in forum messages, as well as find the containing topic;
• edit file's description and replace the file with the newest version.

Live Demos

Check how this plugin works on our miniBB Community. You are allowed to upload without an additional registration or having an account; just follow file upload rules and extension restrictions. Do not hesitate to upload any kind of content under "test" folder — we are cleaning this folder once per 24 hours, and most likely later we will delete any of your test files with no personal claims.

We ourselves find it the best method when keeping the binary files content separated from the forum threads. So both forum and files have their specific value; at the same time they could be used in context together. Look in the earlier tiding thread to check how it's possible to achieve a qualified message content with the help of this add-on.
