MyBB Community Forums

Hello all,

At the beggining I wasn´t sure if it was just a problem with my configuration, did some search around this site...but after making some tests over here, in the official myBB Board...well. I had to ask just to make sure:

-Why the attached image file shows the typical X in the "Preview Post" page, instead of showing the actual image file when using "New Attachment?.

Thanks.

Notes:

I´m running...

MyBB Version 1.4.4 (1404)
PHP Version 5.2.8
SQL Engine MySQLi 5.0.75
Server Load 3.24
Theme MyBB Master Style
website: http://www.vt-f1.com/bb

It happens here, too.

This is reproducible.

More descriptive instructions:
Click on () in any thread. Now attach an image and hit "Preview Post". You'll notice no attachment appears yet the text "Thumbnail(s)" does.

I think it is known limitation.

Either it's just a miss-count in the PHP somewhere, or this has already been fixed for the next release. If you refresh, is it still there?

All my tests happen with the SVN versions:

This is a known limitation. Attachments require a thread row in the database to be able to show and if your previewing a new thread or a new post, then it has not been inserted into the database until you save it as a draft or post it.

If we remove that condition then we're possibly opening up being able to view attachments that people shouldn't be able to.

I suggest adding something such as "Attachment Shown When Posted" when they preview it, that way we don't get bug reports like this anymore. Just a thought.

The MyBB could check the UID or the posthash on preview.

We could make it work, which is why I didn't mark it as bogus. But we would have to do a fair amount of changes which is why I was going to leave it in the bug reports forum until I had time to look into it more. Or unless another developer wanted to.
