...is now diy->discussion
Soarer:
Will any of the images/attachments be coming back?
Surely many of them should be recoverable from a backup. Even though the more recent ones are gone for good, we have some chance of people still being around to re-upload them. The older ones, probably not.
mkawa:
the attachments will most likely not be coming back.
Soarer:
But they mostly still exist, somewhere, right? There must be a way, even if they aren't proper attachments as far as SMF is concerned. How about something like...
1. Build an index from the old DB, to get a filename for each old attachment ID.
2. Store the attachments somewhere accessible.
3. Modify the SMF page display code to replace [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] nnnnn[/attach] with an IMG or URL tag.
... and replace direct links to attachments similarly.
mkawa:
modifications is now "making stuff together"
the attachments no longer exist, for the most part. they were lost in the initial attack (think the new battlestar galactica miniseries)
