Viewing images are just for registering users.. so is it possible also for other files?
like pdf file I made it for admin and Mods only.. but even the download is possible for guests..
is there any solution?

If you set

as it says in the comment, "all saved files available for everyone; else big images and binary attachments available only for registered users".

Currently there is no destructive solution regarding allowing certain types for admins or moderators only. For this you might need to modify add-on's core file. A lot of changes should be applied to bb_plugins.code as well.

Thanks..

for adding unknown file type..

I just uncomment the line in bb_plugins2

and Uploaded the file.. but nothing happened.. it just showed empty white page with my address, like:
www.mydomain.com/forums/index.php? (white & empty page)

don't know what's wrong I did..

..........

and also when I set $origFileExt to "False" it works just for registered users but when download it.. after downloading it says the file is invalid (it won't open) also for Images and other files..
I did same setting as you write in ReadMe..

So I don't know as well ;-)

I am also not sure why do you have this problem with .mbb extension. May be it's related to some hosting issues. Without seeing your server I can't say what's happening. On my side it all works.

anyway thanks..
It works with .mbb extension.
I mean if I change $origFileExt: false it works just for new uploaded files.. not old files..
Old files can be downloaded but with error (not valid file)..
so I mean if I do that, old uploaded files will not work.. just new uploaded files work.
that's all :-)

Yes, it will work that way. How could you imagine this - you modify the plain options file, then the other processes should work - how? ;-) You could rename files only manually... or program special script for that.

When you set-up the add-on, you must choose at the very beginning what kind of options will you use. It provides many options, but you must plan your forums well to achieve best results. It's not the thing when you change your mind and the system changes its "mind" together with you.

Thanks Pal..
Ya I did it manually into .mbb extension.. now everything is fine.. ;-)

I added this:

for adding new upload array:

'application/x-rar-compressed'=>102400,

but it doesn't work I tried just "rar" also.. but still doesn't work..
could you please tell me what's the problem?

Different browsers may interpret different file types differently.

The RAR type as you provided, will work only in Mozilla Firefox and Opera. Under Internet Explorer, it's defined as 'application/octet-stream' (and by this type are also determined many other applications, so it may be dangerous to set it up that way).

How about if I make it like this.. (just for admin and mods) ?

It's up to you. I provide no warranties on that.

I just downloaded and installed the file upload add-on. It seems to be working OK. However there is one small glitch. If the user tries to upload a file without entering any text in the post/reply, it generates a pop-up with the $l_forbidden variable "You must be logged in to post to the forums."

I do not allow unregistered users to post, and in fact the post or reply box is not even displayed unless logged in. So, the user is logged in. But the wrong error message is getting displayed...it should instead say something like "You must enter some text with your image."

Any ideas?

I am running minibb 2.4 and have the captcha and 1st page news add-ons as well.

Second question: How/where can I get the little file upload icon along side the icons for bold, italic, URL link like you have here on the minibb support forum?

Thanks
Mark

It is another add-on called "File Bank".

Here you may find a solution I've posted to work out the specific error messages when you're trying to post an empty message.

The specifics of posting an empty message is related to the core of miniBB, not this add-on. It will give you the same errors even if you don't have this add-on installed.

"You must enter some text with your image" text is already present ABOVE the upload Browse fields. For dumb users you may enter it in large red letters, it's up to you.

Hello,

I folowed all the steps including 777 permision for both folders and enctype="multipart/form-data" for all 3 files, but I can get upload the files.

It is created folder "1" ./shared_files/uploaded/1/ but there is nothing.

Any idea what could cause the problem.

Many thanks for replay
