Hi,

Is there now the option with the Advanced Attachments plugin

to store all attachments in the Media Library ?

If not, what advantage does it have to store them in a different folder ?

I also want to access them in the normal Wordpress environment, e.g.

to build a scipt, that can access all the latest pictures from the Media Library to show all the latest uploaded attachments and when one clicks on one, the user should be redirected to the Forum thread, where the attachment was posted....

Is something like this possible ?

I also might want to use the last attachment in a blog article in a normal

wordpress posting...

Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

Hi hartiberlin

wpForo Advanced Attachment doesn't store images in WP Media Library, it has own Media Lib available in Dashboard.

Hi,

I am using wp offload media plugin to store all the media to amazon s3 server. However I noticed that the wpForo Advanced Attachments plugin doesn't register the media in the wordpress media library so the wp offload media plugin is not able to handle these images.

The attachments were getting registered in media library with default wpForo setup but it's not working after installing Advanced Attachments plugin.

Can you please guide me what I need to do to achieve this? Is there any setting or filter hook for this?

Thanks!

As Tom already mentioned, the wpForo Advanced Attachments addon stores files in its own media library and does not insert them into the WordPress Media Library.

We’re really sorry, but at the moment, there is no integration with Amazon S3. However, our developers will consider this feature for a future addon.
