Hi friends, I have this problem:

When I add a new download, and I write the URL of the capture image, I click to send the download, but when I go to edit the download I see that there isn't any image!! it is very strange........see it this:

I put the link of the image uploaded to imageshack and I push the botton "Add file":


Later, I go to see the download and the capture isn't appeared!!!


So, I go to edit the download and I return to put the capture image, I send but the image, doesn't appear......

Please support, I don't know what I have to do!!!

I think you forgot to click on "Yes" right below it.

no friend, the problem persists

How about clicking on "si" below it... ;)

Image shack doesn't allow hot-linking of images - you should download the image and upload to your server instead.

No my friend, the problem persists :cry:

I don't know what you tried, so I shall re-phrase my last post:

1) In your original post, you are linking to an imageshack hosted image.
2) Imageshack do not allow you to link to an image on another website - this is called "hot-linking".
3) Upload the image to your own server instead.

If you tried 3 already, then please tell us this - problems can't be solved if we don't know all the conditions.

Is a bug, so I have to check on my website.

Upload the image to the server -> Not display capture
Upload capture from PC -> Not display capture


This happens since the launch of the patch 1.2.0.27a

Report to the BUGs forum.

I was having this problem with the version 1.2.0.27 without the patch too, so it's older than that. Now I'm updating to 1.2.0.27a to check if this fix the bug with the group permissions for sub-forums.

As a wise man once said - check the permissions of the pafiledb/images/screenshots folder - this should be 777. ;)

Sorry, but I don't agree. My "screenshots" folder has 777 permissions and I cannot put any screenshot to my downloads (I cannot put uploaded screenshots nor URL screenshots), or at least to downloads without file and an URL instead, later I will try with downloads with a file.

Ok, I confirm that it doesn't work either for downloads with an uploaded file instead of an URL.

Hile good sir... have you checked via your ftp / cpanel if the image file is actually uploaded into your screenshots directory? And also if the file is uploaded into the uploads directory? Permissions must be set to 777 for pafiledb/uploads folder as well - I'm guessing you already know this, but best to check first ;). (I know the installer should automatically do the chmod, but it might not have done it properly, or you might be on a host where your host disabled php chmod function, so you would have had to apply chmod manually - its easy to overlook something to chmod)...

Yes, both "uploads" and "screenshots" folders has 777 permissions.

I CAN:
1) create a download uploading a file
2) create a download linking an external file via its URL

I CANNOT:
1) upload a screenshot for a download (don't matter if uploaded or linked file): the screenshot is not uploaded
2) link a screenshot via its URL (don't matter if uploaded or linked file): the screenshot is not shown nor its URL retained in the textbox when I edit the download

In fact, I've been looking inside "admin_pa_file.php" and I can find a few "$_FILES['new_userfile']" and "$_FILES['userfile']" bot not a single "$_FILES['new_screen_shot']" nor "$_FILES['screen_shot']".

No you won't find it there... This is handled in functions_pafiledb.php ;)

I'm not sure why you get this problem... Is it a recent occurrence? If you tried a fresh install of IP and tested it, does the problem still happen?
I can upload screenshot images no problem with IP1.1.27, but not yet tried via URL, I'll check that in a little while.

I just tried in two fresh IP installations (on two different servers) with the same result. :(
