Remove Attachent Option From NewBB

Is it possible to turn off the option to upload attachments or can I possibly remove some code thus removing that portion of the form all together.

My ultimate goal is to NOT allow attachemnts to be uploaded by anyone, whether they are registered or not. I would feel better if I could simply remove this part of the form completely. I have looked through the code but can only find one place that could accomplish this.

file:

newbb/include/forumform.inc.php

code:

$forum_form->addElement($options_tray);

if ($forum->getVar('allow_attachments') && $topic_handler->getPermission($forum, $topic_status, 'attach')) {
$forum_form->addElement(new XoopsFormFile(_MD_ATTACHMENT, 'userfile',''));
$forum_form->addElement(new XoopsFormLabel(_MD_ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS, "".str_replace('|',' ',$forum->getVar('attach_ext')).""));
}

Would deleting this do it and the forum continue to work as it should ?

I looked for that option all through the module and in preferences >> newbb module something like 4 or 5 times but didn't see one.

I just double checked to make sure and still don't see anything. I'm assuming it should be in preferences >> newbb module?

I have an... Attachments physical path - uploads/newbb but that's all I see that has anything to do with attachements other than... Enable Media Features which I have tuned off.

Which newBB version exactly are we talking about?

(not upgraded to cbb yet?)

I'm using newbb 2.02 with upgrade of cbb 2.3 in XOOPS version 2.2.3a. I only installed the whole set up about 3 weeks ago and love it by the way but I admit that I am a newbie to XOOPS and portals in general.

I have had a look and not found it either. What you could do for the meantime is set the upload directory permissions to refuse anything at all.

Thanks Durator, now I know I'm not crazy. lol

Regarding your suggestion, would you mind pointing me in the right direction to set the upload directory permissions to refuse everything? I'll look for it myself in the meanwhile.


Edit:
I fixed it by going into that file name above and removed the allow_attachments from the line

if ($forum->getVar('allow_attachments') && $topic_handler->getPermission($forum, $topic_status, 'attach')) {

this removed the text box and browse button from the form completely.

--------------

I also did this for the popnupblog by removing the code . . .

// File upload By Yoshi.Sakai, bluemooninc.biz 2004/3/14
//
if (is_object($xoopsUser)){
echo "Upload File\n";
echo "";
if ($BlogCNF['maxbyte']>=1000000){
$maxbyte_str = sprintf("%d M",$BlogCNF['maxbyte']/1000000);
} elseif ($BlogCNF['maxbyte']>=1000){
$maxbyte_str = sprintf("%d K",$BlogCNF['maxbyte']/1000);
} else {
$maxbyte_str = sprintf("%d ",$BlogCNF['maxbyte']);
}
echo " Max".$maxbyte_str."Byte.";
}
// upload end.

from the file /popnupblog/edit.php

here is hoping that everything still works ok. lol It shouldn't create a problem though.

@ ljmyers.... but I did find that you can disallow Attachments in the Permissions Tab, you have to open the dropdown on the left and hey presto it works.

Hmmmmmm, I don't have a permissions tab. Not quite sure what's up with that Durator. Oh well. it seems everything is working fine as it so. Thanks for the reply though, maybe I'll reinstall soon.

this line alone assumes thewre is an option for it and that the value is set to true or 1. otherwise allow atacchments would always be false and you would never see the attachment part.

if you are running CBB then there is definitely an option for it..

you will find it in xoops_version.php modconfig allow_attachments
