XF 1.1 Attachments Are Embedded As Links

[intradox]

Whenever an attachment is uploaded and inserted into a post it comes out as a link but it worked a week ago and I'm not sure if I somehow corrupted something.

Here is what they look like:


And When I try to view them I don't have permission even though I am admin and I know I have the permission...


permissions:


Not sure if this has anything to do with it but I've been getting this server error:

That error looks to be related to the Xen Media Gallery add-on.

That may or may not be related to the problem you have reported.

Could you disable the Gallery and try again?

 

[intradox]

Disabled the addon and the same thing happens.

1 - upload image
2- embedd (image looks fine and is inside post)
3 - click post and embedd switches to a link.

Just got the server error as well so I believe it's connected (although XenMediaGallery) was disconnected. Also it's XenGallery but /media does not seem right I used to run XenMedio but uninstalled it. Could that be conflicting with XenGallery?

 

[Chris D]

Xen Media Gallery literally does nothing in the thread view, or to attachments in general that would cause this. So Xen Media Gallery isn't at fault for the attachment links.

I would suspect you have inconsistent permissions - have you revoked view attachment permissions from a group or from a forum? Have you attempted to see if the situation changes if you disable all add-ons? Either way, I still think you'll find it's relating to permissions.

Also if it still happens when XMG is disabled then it's not that.

The server error is indeed a bug but it's completely unrelated. Look at the request URL:

["url"] => string(59) "http://xxxxxx.com/media/starbound-lighting-demo.4/like"

Nothing at all to do with threads or attachments. The URL is the "Like" URL for a media item.

It's actually a bug that I have just fixed for 1.3.

Ok was able to locate the addon. Thanks for the help and thanks Chris as I had not realized there was a newer version for XenGallery. Just upgraded it.

*this can be locked or left open.

The latest version with the fix isn't released yet. But it's a very rare error so don't worry too much.
