Hi Zinga Burqa,
I'm building up a download system thanks to XThreads awesomeness. I really like the URL fetching system you've implemented, but I'd suggest you to provide a fallback for bigger files which fail being uploaded.
For example: I want to insert a download link to a iOS firmware which is about 700MB. cURL can't handle such big files, so it ends up with a "timed out" error. It would be extremely nice if you would stop fetching the file and provide the plain link instead when the file is bigger than a certain value. I thought about firstly fetch the file size and compare it with a cache-defined variable: if bigger than X MB, then just insert it into the database as-is and display it as normal.
Thank you!

The File field type does actually require a file on the local disk to work.
I suggest one of two options:
- either fetch the file using some other means (eg wget) and use the admindrop feature (obviously only admins can do this)
- use text field instead instead of a file field; if necessary, you could potentially use both
Thank you for your kind and fast response: I didn't think about adding a plain textarea, I will add it!
Hi,
I don't know can XThread did this or not. I have a file (name example.php). I don't know if possible to use custom thread field in the template of that file. Which hook I need call to use it ? (The custom thread fields defined in a forum with fid is 1)
attachment is not uploaded through remote upload.
Error attaching file for "Thread Image"; The file upload failed. Please choose a valid file and try again. Error details: PHP returned: Failed to write the file to disk. Please contact your forum administrator with this error.
this error for thread image, screenshot and url uploads.
Found a bug when save / update / delete with File type (with the thumbnail generator).
PHP Warning: Invalid agrument supplied for foreach() with PHP 5.3.27
Solution: Find /inc/xthreads/xt_admin. Go to the line 641th
Replace:
PHP Code:
if(issets($tf['fileimgthumbs'])) {
|
with:
PHP Code:
if(is_array($tf['fileimgthumbs'])) {
|
^ Are you using an older version of XThreads?
I recall that being fixed...
hi! just installed this plugin coz of the sticky first post... problem is on the 2nd & succeeding pages, all posts are numbered 2-19 like the first page... how do you fix this? thanks in advance!
using ver 1.63 btw...
Install XThreads on a clean board and see if you can replicate the issue.
It is an awesome tool but is it safe to use? Can hackers use it to hack mybb forum?
Thanks
