If you do not have funktion parseMessage() in the bb_plugins file, you must first create one.


/* Start parseMessage */

function parseMessage(){


/* File upload addon */

$filesFound=0;
$imgsFound=0;
$maxImsW=0;

... and the rest


/* File upload addon */

return;
}

/* End parseMessage */

Just use the compiler. He create a working version of miniBB. And look at it once the auto-generated bb_plugins. There you will see then what code is given where best.

And beware - the function parseMessage must be defined only once! Otherwise, it will cause problems. And you'll need this feature for any other plugins or for their own adjustments on the issue of miniBB. Good luck

Hello,
Great work Paul & minibb co.

- regarding the file-image attachment

I noticed anonymous/guest users can't post file attachemtns, is it possible to turn it on for them?

Jack

Sorry, it's not possible in the current version because of security reasons, miniBB architecture, and the add-on's page says that (fixed it a bit to make it more obvious).

If you would like to allow Guests to upload external files, refer to the File Bank add-on. It can be configured for Guests (also, on our forums it works that way, too).

only have GD 2.0 and not ImageMagick

The add-on works/coded with GD 2.0 by default, if you are meaning this.
ImageMagick is just an addition to this.

Wow. Not a fun plugin to install.

I have it uploading but how do I use the uploaded images? Can they be displayed inline?

Not a fun to live in the world of non-sense, actually.

Not sure I'm up to that question.

What do you actually mean?

What does it mean "if they could be displayed inline"?

Surely, our add-on allows to save up all images to the internal device - HDD, FTP, dynamic memory or whatever.

But it truly depends on how the Administrator of the forums had set them up. There's quite a basic option to disallow files/images from saving inline - then, if you are not the "Die Hard 4" level hacker, you'd have no way to this. Again, we are not involved in this process at all.

Not a question but just to say what a brilliant addon - thanks.

Hi,

I have installed the file upload plugin, following the instructions to the letter but the uploaded file does not show in the post.

I have checked that the file actually gets uploaded to the shared directory, it does. There are no errors displayed, it just doesn't show the image that was uploaded.

Your assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

I double checked everything again...

Just can't get images to display in posts :(

Otherwise, great BB - I love it's simplicity and ease of use for members. Perhaps addons could be installed more easily, perhaps via a zip file? Like Dupral and other CMS - just a thought to make it easier for inexperienced webmasters. I installed the image uploader for member profiles and it worked first up!

Good work :)
Johnny

You must have missed something. I installed it without any hiccups, though you have to follow the instructions to the letter.

You can see it working on this forum ...

All Pets Chat

I checked it 3 times...

Sorry for delayed response, I was offline for two days. I have replied you privately, for any case will duplicate my suggestion here:

From the recent experience I have got from one of the customers, I have a conclusion that some instruction in the README file is not certainly clear. Especially, it affects the parseMessage function. Possibly, your problem is related to this, too. Unfortunately, I was still not having enough of time to fix this instruction, will do it ASAP next week.

So, just to repeat: bb_plugins.php should have TWO parts of the add-on's code inserted. One is located in bb_plugins.code.txt part and should be pasted directly. Another one is located in bb_plugins_parseMessage.code.txt (or similar name - sorry, I do not remember it mutually, typing this reply from my mobile device with no having access to files) - that one should be pasted in the function

function parseMessage(){

... Here goes the code from bb_plugins_parseMessage.code.txt...

}

If you still doubt how to paste all codes properly, login as the customer and go to the Compiler tool. The add-ons you have purchased, will be available in the Compiler. Check just the add-on you have doubts for, and compile it with the core, getting the package downloaded. Then you have to analyze all files, specially bb_plugins.php and see how the codes are inserted properly. Possibly, you may discover your mistake after that.

If you will still have questions, please ask.

I have the 'Attach Files' mod installed - great mod it is too - but I'm finding people are reluctant to resize their images to be lower than I have set. They are either too lazy or not computer savvy enough to do so. What I'm wondering is could the uploads be automatically resized if they are over a certain size. I mean the script creates thumbnails so the coding is more or less there already. I haven't studied the code yet but what are your thoughts on this? I could then remove any restrictions which would help my users.

Hi Bluesplayer,

do you see $resizeBigPictures=xxx; in addon_fileupload_options ? It works in others addons too ... (pics,storages) ...

Greetings Jaime
