    perhaps you haven't set the permissions for the roles properly.

    I can 2nd that under Vanilla 2.0.18.10. It seem like there is a bug somewhere.

    I have users that have about 50 Uploads and just 4 appear, while some show 0 uploads in their "MyAttachments" link in the frontend.

    What i found out is that it might be might be connected with "Select the Maximum Number of Attachments to Display".

    Example of one user:
    If i choose to show 100, 4 uploads are shown.
    If i choose to show 30, 0 uploads are shown.

    See ... now that looks like a nice bug report. Can you make screenshots @phreak? Same zoom-in as P-doc so I can see correctly

    Example of one user:

    the way the program works to facilitate performance is to select all attachments of any type up to the max number selected. then it filters based on extension.

    e.g.
    so if you only allow viewing of jpg file attachments it and the user has 1000 zip files that are more recent than the jpgs then it might not show anything. the easy way around this is to increase Maximum number of attachments to display in the config.php

    $Configuration['Plugins']['MyAttachments']['Count'] = '20';

    also if people uploaded files with extensions like theimage.jpeg

    you could change and add extensions.

    Configuration['Plugins']['MyAttachments']['RestrictExtension'] = array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'zip', 'png', 'gif');

    increase it to 500 or to whatever number works best on your forum.

    and remember this is attachments - if it is an inline image it does not retrieve in-line images only attachments.

    see if version 1.6 helps. if you choose 30 now you should see more uploads.

    @peregrine: There seems still to be a problem. I'm not sure why. But some of my users have possible 50+ pictures. Still 7 are just shown.

    Setting are:
    $Configuration['Plugins']['MyAttachments']['SortOrder'] = 'lastdate'; $Configuration['Plugins']['MyAttachments']['Count'] = '100'; $Configuration['Plugins']['MyAttachments']['CSSType'] = 'V'; $Configuration['Plugins']['MyAttachments']['ClickPref'] = 'fancybox'; $Configuration['Plugins']['MyAttachments']['RestrictExtension'] = array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'zip', 'png', 'gif');

    :(

    :)

    give me the list of the attachment names for a a particular user that are missing. And what version are you using?

    and are the missing attachments in comments or discussions?

    are they in restricted categories?

    I need a whole lot of information to solve this for you. Since you are the only one reporting a problem.

    I have no idea what the OP's problem is, they haven't responded in a timely fashion.

    updated to version 1.7 to allow zip and fancybox to work together, etc.

    @underdog - can you change the category to feedback.

    @selfcommit
    off-topic is not viewable if you are not logged in and is a poor category choice to post in if you are looking for a reponse to a question.

    and @selfcommit read these if you desire they may help (I guarantee they will give you insights. (don't feel abused or insulted or patronized because these links are provided) , it is for your benefit and ours.
