INSTALL.TXT

Having lost TOO much time on the same issue, I think the answer is: there's no admin screen for this module, you must go to the config screen for all the node types you want to use this module.
Being on admin go to admin/node/configure/types , where is a list of your node types (regular and flexinodes) each with a "configure" link, and on each configuration you must select which kind of attachments you want for each node type ("each" is the keyword, as you see).
After installing "filemanager" and "attachment" modules you'll have two choices under the "Workflow" section of THAT configuration screen, both named exactly the same (Attachments:). The last is your regular node attachment feature, and is probably Active. The first is your new kind of attachment, and is probably innactive by default ... and that's why you keep getting your old style attachments on all nodes even after following all installation guides.
Hope it helps.

thanks L !!
I was going nuts!

Well, now I'm stuck again with this module: I can't find a way to get the path where this module stores uploaded files. Details on http://drupal.org/node/23609 ... and if you can help, thanks!
PS: Please forgive my poor & confuse english. Spanish is my mother tongue and, well, I can't write clear even on that language :-)

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO INCLUDE THIS INFO IN THE INSTALL.TXT to make life a bit easier!

All caps is annoying. If you think that the information in the reade needs expansion, please provide a patch to add the additional information you believe necessary.

All the attachment.module file path settings are configured in the filemanager modules settings. Located at ?q=admin/settings/filemanager.

Apart from the broken URL output the two modules (filemanager and attachment) have worked a treat on Druapl 4.6.1

After having read all the comments in this thread, I am still confused. I installed filemanager and attachment modules, enabled the modules and configured them.

However I disabled the "upload" module, thinking I no longer need it because I installed a replacement for it. From that moment, I was no longer able to see the attachement area when editing a page.

I double checked the workflow settings for the page type and activated "attachment". Nothing helped, still no attachment area appearing in the page edition. Then I re-activated the upload module, and guess what, I had again the attachment dialog. Then I went back to the workflow settings and disabled the second "attachement" (which should be the original attachemnt stuff (upload module)).

So I am confused that I need to keep the upload module activated when I want to use the attachment module with filemanager. There is something I don't get yet.

I have updated the INSTALL.txt file. Basic steps to getting attachment module working.

1) Install and configure filemanager module
2) Disable upload module
3) Enable attachment module
4) Give user roles the 'add attachments' permission
5) Enable attachment functionality on the appropriate nodes via the node content type configuration pages

Thanks,
Craig
