UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Attachment Woes

I'm using 6.3br1. Here's the situation:

I click on "Browse" and choose the file to attach. The path to the file shows in the little input box. I click on "Continue", the path disappears, and nothing else happens. I've compared my addpost.php file to a stock (unhacked) addpost.php file from 6.3br1 and the only differences are I have these two lines under "Get the input"

[] // strip off the URL
$Icon = basename($Icon);
[/]

I also have another $Icon = just above that, which is

[] $Icon = get_input("Icon","post");
[/]

I guess the prior is from a hack - can't remember which one though. I commented out the extra one though, and attachments still did not work.

I also have the spoiler tag installed:

[]// -----------------------------------------------
// If spoiler tag is used, make sure it was closed (preview)
$spoiler_open = substr_count($PrintBody, "");
if ($spoiler_open > $spoiler_close) {
for ($i = 1; $i <= $spoiler_open - $spoiler_close; $i++) {
$PrintBody = $PrintBody . "[/spoiler]";
}
}
[/]

I have this in two places. Besides those, everything else is the same. I also compared my addpost_preview.tmpl files and they are exact matches. What other files should I look at?

Hmm not sure. My guess was the basename removal should have fixed it...

I'll install spoiler on my fresh br1 forum to see if this occurs, and if so I'll release a new version for 6.3.

I took out the basename and the spoiler hack code, still did not fix it. Looks like I'm barking up the wrong tree with addpost.php.

So you can't even post.. like the continue button in addpost isn't working?

That's odd. Has anything potentially got put into safe mode in PHP or turned off attachments?

The first click wipes the box of the path. The second click does nothing. The third click submits the post.

I don't know about safe mode since I'm on a shared server. And yes, attachments are turned on.

I'm trying to remember once... I had trouble on a server way back when. They enabled some security lock down, and I couldn't post anything until I turned the attachments off.
But it doesn't sound related.

You said you tried with a clean addpost.php script. Did you also try with the appropriate addpost_preview.tmpl (I think it's called).

If you've done any hacking, my guess might be a misaligned </form> tag.

But this does sound peculiar. I can't think of what it could be.

Not sure what it is. Just installed Spoiler hack on a test forum of 6.3 br1 without problem.

Maybe check for a misaligned form tag as Josh suggested.

I've uploaded a clean addpost.php and that did not fix it, and my addpost_preview.tmpl is identical to the stock 6.3br1 file. Sorry to cause so much brain racking late at night.

If you want to go give it a try, to show you I'm not making this up!

I wonder if anyone has tested attachments with the beta.... or if it's just you. :shrug:

Go here http://www.joshuapettit.com

That's beta 2 which isn't public yet. But quickly register a name and see if you can attach a file there. I'm going to do the same right now.

Also... is is just a particular file, or any file? If it's just a particular file, is there anything odd about the file name.

Whoa, it just worked at my site. Stand by....

Jeez oh flip. It's working now. WTF? Ghosts in the machine or something...

One thing though, the inline attachment isn't resizing the pics. No biggie. At least attachments work now. Thanks for the support!

I'm wondering if you host was monkeying with the PHP settings or something?

I don't know. They've been moving over their support stuff to their parent company. Communitech.net --> Interland. Stuff has been really slow lately with lots of "max connections" errors. Bastards. Thanks again!

Well, I'm outta here. Time ta go home!
