True multiple attachments yet?

[bfarber]

Yes, all 10 test attachments were photo images of various sizes. We used to occasionally get the [attachment... ] even if all were photos, but once removed from manual inserting into the post, and just letting the software position them all at the end does show them as photos proper.

If you still experience this once 3.0 is released, I'd submit a bug report and let us take a look. In some random tests I just tried it works fine (all the bbcode is parsed) so I'm not sure the cause of this, but we can fix it.

I checked and attempted to download the FF flash plug in again and it stated I have the latest version. Tested also in Explorer 7 and 8 for XP, and 8 for Vista. Tested in Linux Debian Firefox as well. I could not figure out a way to change folders.

(reasoning. Say a member wants to post 75 photos of cars, and he wants 25 out of his Ford folder, 25 from his Chevy folder, and 25 from his Dodge folder...)

I think there was some confusion. I get what you mean, and yes you are restricted to one folder at a time (since the Flash plugin uses explorer-based functionality basically). What the other poster was saying (he may have misunderstood) is that you can navigate to a different folder and choose images there *instead* (as in, you're not limited to the default folder that first opens). You are right, however, and there is no likely going to be any changes to the way this works.

I also didn't immediately see a way to increase the amount of uploads to 100. At this time we have ours limited to 100 - not because it will time out, but just that any more than 100 photos in a post, we ask they use the gallery.

I am not sure where the limit comes from exactly. I will have to wait until Rikki is available. I believe the following would work though.

In skin_post change

ipb.attach.registerUploader( 'attach_{$id}', useType, 'attachments', { 'upload_url': uploadURL, 'attach_rel_module': "{$type}", 'attach_rel_id': "{$id}", 'attach_post_key': "{$post_key}", 'forum_id': "{$forum_id}", 'file_size_limit': "{$stats['max_single_upload']}" } )});

    document.observe('dom:loaded', function(){

to add the limit like so

ipb.attach.registerUploader( 'attach_{$id}', useType, 'attachments', { 'upload_url': uploadURL, 'attach_rel_module': "{$type}", 'attach_rel_id': "{$id}", 'attach_post_key': "{$post_key}", 'forum_id': "{$forum_id}", 'file_size_limit': "{$stats['max_single_upload']}", 'file_upload_limit': 100, 'file_queue_limit': 100 } )});

    document.observe('dom:loaded', function(){

I would like to see where if there are any attachments, then nothing needs entered into the topic box, as the photos themselves will be the topic.

I thought about this after you suggested it, however I'm not so sure it's as easy as you would make it seem to implement. First problem I thought of - what if some joker uploads a 1x1px transparent gif image. I'm going to get bug reports about "they're submitting empty posts". There are probably other similar considerations that would need to be thought out first.

Example, the mod ttVIDEO uploads a file in that modded area.. and it then auto makes a topic thread in the regular forum. If an upload in that separate video area can auto make a topic, shouldn't a normal uploaded attachment be able to do this as well?

As to the 'joker', he could do that at present by using ascii white space now, or if he is of that mind-frame, he could just as easily upload a transparent gif and do it via the present manual attachment. One could do a imagick to determine if a jpg photo contains <15 pixels, but that would moot, for the 'joker' would just figure out something else...

Thanks for the skin idea.
I hope they add the default amount each group can upload at once, (as we have in xShadows mod,) proper into the aCP so admin can auto change the default to 'enable' for all members to use the multiupload with specific amounts for each group. (yes, that would be an admin choice... they could attempt to force members to use the plugin, making it lot less work on admin explaining to the majority, or that rare member who does not wish the plugin could simply click on the option they have now, where when they are in multi upload mode, they can choose single only. )

(also I just noticed the license is now $149... wow, that's quite the jump from when I bought all of mine for $39 each - :blink: )

[bfarber]

I can't remember IPS ever selling licenses for $39. :blink:

[Mat Barrie]

Back when they were... uh, how much was a "yearly" again? $65 wasn't it? Anyway, they were on special once or twice but I never saw them go below $49. Maybe I missed a sale?

[bfarber]

I don't remember them getting to $39 myself. Irregardless, the old yearly licenses are no longer valid (they were only valid for a year at a time, and when we converted to the new licensing structure you had to move to a standard license) so I suppose it's ultimately irrelevant.

[skysober]

yes, it was $39 because I bought 11 licenses, 2 under my name and 9 under clients of mine, and sales set it up ;)

[bfarber]

Well, I haven't been here forever. Needless to say, the price is no longer $39. You were wise to buy 11 while it was that price. ;)

hehe true, I remember years back when the great modders Bfarber and Dean, made invision the best forum software anywhere.. and each time when Invision updated/ugraded, it killed the mods and the hair pulling it caused - hehe... Now one of them has gone to the 'dark side'... Come back to the light! You can still do it if you look deep into your pocket protector! Tease.
