See also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOLT-p9Y5xI
- Upload your file to the "attachments" Folder in your SMF root directory
- Make a unique 40 character hash including a-z and 0-9
- I suggest using this site (just combine two 20-character strings): http://www.random.org/strings/
- Make your topic / message if you have not already and get your message id
- If you do not know it you can just press edit on the message and it will be a GET variable "msg"
- Log into your database and go to {smf_prefix}_attachments
- Press insert from the navigation menu
- Fill out the entry like the following
- id_attach: NA - Auto Incremented
- id_thumb: NA
- id_msg: This is the mesage id you want the attachment to be on
- id_member: NA
- id_folder: NA - If you have certain upload folders then choose the appropriate id for it
- attachment_type: NA
- filename: Full file name including extension
- file_hash: Put the hash you made in step 2 here
- fileext: Your file extension (no ".")
- size: Size in kb (you can get this by looking at the properties of the file)
- downloads: NA - determines download count and you may change
- width: NA
- height: NA
- mime_type: NA
- approved: NA
- Press "Go" to insert the entry
- Rename the file you uploaded to your attachments folder to {id_attach}_{hash}
- ex. 53_vizgvbn7671rh5bd8ob920qhe22j3xd3sks6jyit
- {id_attach} is from your database entry
- {hash} the 40 character hash you made in step 2
- Note: There is no extension!
Done :)
