please see this topic: https://simple-press.com/support-forum/sp5-general-topics/file-attachments-problems/

for this known issue and a link to the fix until the next version is released…

Hello,

In my case I also have the problem when logged as admin

In case I have put the permission “can upload files in post” for all kind of users to check

I can choose “other file type” the file is load in wp-content/sp-resources/forum-file-uploads but in the topics the HTML link to the file doesn’t appear (like I have for image files) and so the attachment doesn’t appear

Best regards

Christophe

it didnt matter if it was admin or not…  the code was broken for other file uploads showing as attachments…  the fix is still what you want if needed before we push out an update (testing some other stuff)…

Hello,

I have tried by copying the last “component” file without success

for you better understand my issue I have created on my forum 2 post

if you check here the last 2 post http://www.meilleurereponse.net/forum/excel/

You will see an there is an attached file for both of them

if you open “test with image first” (where I have upload an image and an excel file) the files are attached (but for the excel one there’s a picture icon on the left of it too)

if you open “test without image” (I just upload an excel file) you won’t see any attachment in the topic

Thanks for your checks and help

Christophe

first, I think you need to wait for us to push out a new release of plupload…  just not sure when…  the next release is tied to 5.1 of SP unfortunately…

are you sure that you permissions allow downloading of other file attachments?  obviously me looking at the posts as guest dont help or tell me anything of your potential admin issue…  but with the latest development version of our file uploader, I cannot duplicate your issue…

actually, you shots do show a slight tweak I need to make, but it wont help your situation – probably make worse since I dont believe the excel file should be showing in the second one either…

Hello,

Did you try with the user christophe183

I have given all kind of users the permissions to upload other files

I guess it must come from something special about my site or this issue would already have been raised many times

I hope we will find a solution as I find your forum really great but without this ablility for users to upload files it would be useless for my site

no, sorry… forgot you sent me those…  probably tomorrow at this point…  but without the latest version, expecting problems…

Hello,

Just to inform that I have found a fix to my problem by adding a line in the component file

line 549 : $show = true; to force it to show the file whatever kind it is

So I have

foreach ($spThisPost->attachments as $attachment) {
                $temp.= ‘<li>’;
                if ($attachment[‘type’] == ‘image’) {
                        if (!$uploads[‘showinserted’]) continue;
                        $icon = sp_find_icon(SPPLUPIMAGES, “sp_PlupImage.png”);
                $show = true;
                } else if ($attachment[‘type’] == ‘media’) {
                        if (!$uploads[‘showinserted’]) continue;
                        $icon = sp_find_icon(SPPLUPIMAGES, “sp_PlupMedia.png”);
                $show = true;
                } else if (sp_get_auth(‘download_attachments’)) {
                        $icon = sp_find_icon(SPPLUPIMAGES, “sp_PlupFile.png”);
                $show = true; //added line
                }

Could you please let me know if it could bring something else to run bad or advice another codeline to show attachment of other type

Best regards

Christophe

well, yes, that $show line should be there… it is in our current dev version… actually what you have there still is not right in the general case, but might work for you… really should be:

    foreach ($spThisPost->attachments as $attachment) {
        $found = false;
        $temp2 = '<li>';
        if ($attachment['type'] == 'image') {
            if (!$uploads['showinserted']) continue;
            $icon = sp_find_icon(SPPLUPIMAGES, "sp_PlupImage.png");
            $show = $found = true;
        } else if ($attachment['type'] == 'media') {
            if (!$uploads['showinserted']) continue;
            $icon = sp_find_icon(SPPLUPIMAGES, "sp_PlupMedia.png");
            $show = $found = true;
        } else if (sp_get_auth('download_attachments')) {
            $icon = sp_find_icon(SPPLUPIMAGES, "sp_PlupFile.png");
            $show = $found = true;
        }
        $temp2.= "<img src='$icon' alt='' />";
        $temp2.= "<a href='{$attachment['path']}{$attachment['file']}'>{$attachment['file']}</a> ";
        $temp2.= '<span>('.sp_plupload_format_size($attachment['size']).')</span>';
        $temp2.= '</li>';
        if ($found) $temp.= $temp2;
    }

Hi 

I have the same problem. Which is the ‘component’ file you are referring to?

thanks

David

This will be the file named sp-plupload-components.php in the /library folder of the pluload plugin.
