Hi,

I have made sure my hosting company has ASPUpload(anyway, one of the approved components that works with v7 for file and image uploading,) so it should work.  When I go to Admin page to configure, I say it's ok for all users to post images, provide a directory to upload to, etc.  The directory has write permissions 'cause it is used to upload images from a different page.  two questions:  Am I missing something?

A bigger question:  I have seen forums where users post the photo right into their post on the forum.  Is this the functionality in v7 or is it the ability to upload a file from PC to server (but not have it displayed in the post)?

If it is working correctly, will I see a [browse] button to navigate the PC directory to find the file to upload?  All I see now is the same http://--- that was in v6.x to post a link to a file on another webspace.

Sorry for the long post.  Thanks in advance for your terriffic support.

I don't know if you have check about this feature in your admin tools.  In my forum, I see this in the text editor:

You need to give users permisison to upload images and files in posts, through either the group permissions or when you setup teh forum, or both.

You then get a buuton with an arrow pointing up, this is the upload button, by clicking this another windows opens with a browse button, find the image on your hard drive, click to have it uploaded and it is then added to your post.

  My hosting company assures me they have ASPSmartUpload component on the server, so it must be something I haven't configured correctly.  I don't see the last 2 icons -- with the up arrows -- on my forum.

Thanks for the help.  Back to the admin page.....

Additional info to help you help me and others (surely it's not just me!)

When I go to Forum User Group Permissions for [forum name], It says Generic Forum Permissions for [forum name] Upload Image is OFF!
I cannot find where to change this value.

User Group permissions for each user group has been set to Upload Images YES.

Image and file Configuration page setings:
Upload component: ASPSmartUpload
Image types: jpg;bmp;jpeg;gif;png
Max image file size 10KB
Image Upload folder path: ../Pix/2-horses-other (it is write enabled)

Please advise where I change Generic Forum permissions and also, can you tell me why I'm not seeing the last 2 (upload) icons.  I do have v7.01.

Thanks.

The generic forum permisions are stup when you create a forum.

to change them later go to the forum adminstration in the admin area, click on the forum you want to change the permisions on and you get a page where you can change forum permisions, change the forum name, description, etc.

Also looking at your forum I go the image upload button, I guess you just haven't set it up for the admin user group so you can not see it yourself as guests can definetly see the upload image button.

I even manged to upload an image to test to see if it works.

boRg,

We're getting there... When I try to chagne Forum Details, I don't see a place for changing permisions to upload, and I get this error when I Submit Form Details:

 Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d' Type mismatch: 'CInt'  /forum/admin/forum_details.asp, line 111

Also, I can't find a Administrator user group to edit.  Sorry I'm needing all this hand-holding.

There should be a default admin group.

There should be nothing on line 111 of forum_details.asp so either the file is modified or you have a corrupted file, try reuploading the file again.

I uploaded the file again -- AMAZING -- now everything works as advertised!  Impressive.  Even the default settings that weren't displaying  before were there for me to edit. 

You're DA MAN boRg!  Thanks!
