Total number attachments etc

[Windwalker222]

Where would we find the total number of attachments and the storage space they are taking.

Anyone?

Unfortunately, there's no real stat for all attachments. You can view individual attachments in ACP -> System -> Files. To get a feel for the size of your attachments you can always check your server uploads folder.

Thanks, that is what I was wondering. Seems there was a way in 3.4.x but not sure if I'm remembering that right. I appreciate the respong Jim M

In 3x it was under > Forums > Attachments > Attachment Stats > It would show the total number, the total size and a couple of quick stats underneath such as the last five uploaded, the most viewed and the largest five.

Might be able to query (as 'SUM' or suchlike) to get the total from the attachments table if its the size you are specifically looking for in IPS4. I've not looked into this.

Thanks so much as always AndyF. Maybe someone will come out with a simple free plugin for that to help some keep track of it.

A plugin would be easier (and potentially safer) to use. I'm a bit reluctant to look at and post manual queries for this.
