I have similar problem. I need a forum that is integrated with Drupal and allows users to attach files to their posts (mostly .PDF and .DOC files. I can't find that function in the Drupal forum. I searched a lot and didn't find any answer to that problem. Please, reply - is this possible at all? Thans in advance.

Same problem here

Did you manage to find a solution on how to attach files in drupal forum? I would like to know if Drupal can do such a thing cause at the moment it doesnt seem possible.

Kind regards

I meant forum drupal.org

drupalina - August 3, 2007 - 16:31

well... actually I meant this forum -- drupal.org

For instance I want to explain what my problem is, and usually a screenshot explains it all. Instead, I end up with very long posts, which I'm sure are boring to read.

Nevertheless it would be nice to allow this for all drupal installatiins.

I have noticed that attchments are not allowed in Private messaging either, bit that's a different story.

These are usual things that come with software like VBulletin streignt out of the box, and one would expect such features with a superior CMS like drupal as well.

Thes best way to do so it to upload them images to your own server and then place a link to it here on the forum

Another way (the one i use) is to open a free photobucket.com account place your images there and link to them on here.

Only a handful of people have the ability to directly apply images to their posts, and that is more for news and announcements then it is for general forum posts. Otherwise, Drupals HD would get clogged with uploaded files. Which we as a community don't want.

it is very possible on your own Drupal forum, using the attachment.module and or, the upload.module which comes with core.

Hi VeryMisunderstood,

I would really appreciate it, if you could describe how I need to set up the attachment or upload module to allow users attaching files in forums.

THANKS!!!

after the module is enabled

goto adminsiter -> content types

edit the content type you want to have uploads attached to, and check off the appropriate checkboxes.

then set the appropriate permissiions in administer -> access control

the upload modul eis part of core , documentation for core modules is found in teh handbooks -> core modules area

the attachment module may have a README.txt file that should be read.

attaching files to replies

slooodge - February 24, 2008 - 12:43

Sorry to bother you again...
How can I allow files to be attached to forum replies?
I have allowed attachments for the content type "forum topic", but there is no content type "forum comments" - do I need to create a new content type?

Unfortunately, I have foudn no info on how to do this, otherwise I wouldn't be asking you again!

THANKS, Hannes

Is this supported in Drupal 6?

anthonylicalsi - May 27, 2008 - 05:12

I only saw support for this in 5.x-0.1.
Will this work in Drupal 6?

Is there any way for me to configure Drupal to allow file uploads in Forum Replys and Comments?

Thanks

Anthony
