[bd] Attachment Store [Deleted]

[xfrocks]

Sure, thanks a lot.

Let me get back to you over there.

 

[Xon]

The XF2 version of this add-on can result in unexpected data loss as in some failure cases it will return false instead of throwing an exception in putStream function this add-on extends

This is because the XenForo function copyFileToAbstractedPath doesn't actually check the return result, and very few parts of the XF code check this function's return result and assume it throws.

This resource has been removed and is no longer available. The following reason was provided:

This resource has been deleted by XenForo Ltd. in line with our resource housekeeping criteria.

A expired cert - very dramatic...

@xfrocks

We're soon going to want to import all the data back from the CDN into local attachments on our server.

How do we do this please?

Cheers

IIRC, its in the notes how to do that. Is it not?

Not that I can see?

 

[fly]

It must have been in the original resource maybe?

If memory serves me, you just have to copy it all back locally via SSH, then disable the plugin.

 

[cjwinternet]

Apparently "there's a tool" to switch back to local attachments. Damned if I can figure out what or where it is though. I've got all the original files, but can't see anything.

Check under 'rebuild caches'.

 

[cjwinternet]

Check under 'rebuild caches'.

Yeah I was exactly there, then read this. Will probably open an Amazon server and let it run 24/7 doing that.

Thank you.

 

[cjwinternet]

One more point of concern; When the images are importing back to the server, do they automatically delete from the CDN after they are copied?

 

[cjwinternet]

So why can't @xfrocks be bothered to answer question here, on his forum, or by email?

 

[cjwinternet]

So, we moved server, imported database, and files, tested everything, went to run xfrocks "Update attachment storage options" and nothing. Not a single image imported, not a single file path changed. Really really annoyed. All images are still being served from the CDN.
