1. EUforum "attachments"
Hello Rob,
now and then someone wants in her/his EUforum post to point to a ZIP
file, a picture, or something else that contains some additional
information related to the concerning discussion. The other day you
offered the opportunity, that we can put such a (small) file on your
website, using the "entrance" at
<http://www.rapideuphoria.com/cgi-bin/usercont.exu?dbId=new>. Thanks
again for that offer.
Then in our regarding post, we would write something like:
"Please look at the picture <http://.../my_grandma.jpg>".
Here should be the complete link to the file. But in order to be able
to do so, we have to know the name of the concerning directory on your
website, where our "attachment" is.
Could you please put some information somewhere (maybe on the page
<http://www.rapideuphoria.com/cgi-bin/usercont.exu?dbId=new>), where
we can read what we need to know about placing "attachments" on EUforum?
TIA,
Juergen

Files that you upload are temporarily available at:
http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/uploads/yourfile
Where yourfile is the name that you choose.
Normally these files are moved out when your upload is approved,
but if you leave a "comment to RDS", I will leave them
in uploads for a week or so. Eventually I should integrate
this uploading feature into the Send Message form.
I'll give this address on the upload form (later today).
That way uploaders who have registered an e-mail address
can see it, but other passers-by will not.
Aku pointed out a major security problem with allowing uploads
to a known location like this, but I think I've patched that now.
Still, it's better if I avoid advertising this information to the
whole world.
By the way, did anyone notice how much faster the EUforum search
is now? The move to the new machine is now complete.

They tell me it's an Intel Dual Xeon 2.8 GHz
with 2GB RAM and RAID hard disks.
I don't know exactly what they had before, but benchmarks
indicated something in the high Pentium 2 or low Pentium 3 range.
RapidEuphoria.com hasn't changed, only ListFilter.com

OK, it's done.
After a successful upload, the system will tell you the link
to your file on RapidEuphoria.com
Note that we always convert filenames to lower case.
Also, if your file has a strange file type, we might
store it in an inaccessible place, pending human approval.
Typical file types like .zip, .gif, .jpg, .tar, .e, .ew etc.
are all ok.

HI there,
Are you saying we can now upload attachments to the EuForum message?
How would we go about doing that?
Like say i wanted to add an attachment to this message right here...
from the EuForum...
Take care,
Al
And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!

Yes, kind of. I already did so some time ago (when Rob introduced this
possibility), but in the meantime I just forgot the name of the
directory where the concerning file is.

We can not actually add an attachment, but include a link to a seperate
file that we've uploaded to RDS' website previously. Rob explains it
here: http://www.listfilter.com/EUforum/m876.html

Ok, so where does it go? Where do we upload to?

Say you have a file "foo.jpg". Just upload it, like you would upload a
new user contribution. After logging in, there is a HTML form which has
a field "comment to RDS". In this field you write something like:
"'foo.jpg' is an attachment for EUforum, not a user contibution."
After uploading "foo.jpg", it will actually be available at
http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/uploads/foo.jpg
Tell us this link in your related EUforum post, so that we can access your
"attachment".
I hope this made it clearer.
Regards,
Juergen
