attachments not showing ?

[Loco.M]

I just noticed that there is no attachment option when posting a blog.
All usergroup settings show the user should be able to add an attachment to the blog.

Any hidden settings that I might be missing ?

It's part of the Usergroup Blog Entry Permissions: Can Upload Attachments

That's what I have set :?

Then is will work for those usergroup, unless you have installed another modification to break this.

Hmm,, I don't have any "attachment" mods tho :(

abd the only blog hack, is to show the latest post on the forumhome page.

As far as I know, the attachments have never worked for the blog.

Any ideas how to troubleshoot it ?

thanks Steve

I didn't say anything about 'attachment mods'. :)

To troubleshoot this, first reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server. Also be sure to upload the admincp files to whichever directory you have set in your config.php file. Then run 'Suspect File Versions' in Diagnostics to make sure you have all the original files for your version and that none show 'File does not contain expected contents':

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions

[Note: In some cases you may also need to remove any of the listed .xml files in the includes/xml directory.]

Next, disable all plugins.

Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Then if you still have this problem, create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Finally empty your browser cache, close all browser windows then try again. Make sure you change to the new style and view your forums with it. Do you have the same problem?

Sorry, I was referring to "unless you have installed another modification to break this."


I just noticed the attachment field is available when I make a New blog post, but it wasn't when I replied in advanced mood.

I'll look around and will try upload the files per your last reply

thanks Steve
