Attachements
Hi all,

i have found 3 threads for this theme, and it seems with this i could do the stuff,

BUT:

Is it really neccessary to kill my whole links and make a new setup.cgi???
There are too many own tables i wont miss (ok, i could save the whole mysql-stuff) but
there must be a way to do the tables manually, isnīt it so.

So if someone could help on this stuuf, please drop some words, how to add the attachment things without setup the whole thing for new.

Robert

I am really not sure what you are asking.

If your database doesn't have the fields already, just add them. There was an update script provided with the Links 1.11 to update the 1.0 database, and that should work.

The instructions for attachement says:

Kill your tables, set the dirs for attachment and start setup again.
I wont do that and have asked for another way.

I have done it by building a new links with attachements and copy the SQL-Syntax for the new tables to build them in the first sql.

Hi Robert,

change the paths of the upload dirs in Links.pm

call setup.cgi ( dont't click on drop tables)

click on create tables. ( The tables already in use will give an error. The new Tables will be set up correctly)

Gruß, Alexander

Habīs schon hinter mir, seufz. Bin gespannt ... ups.
Itīs done now, thank you. Cause two additional tables wouldnīt kill my server, i install the attachment everytime from now :-)

Is there something to look, what you have done with this ?
