Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Setting up forums and attachments

Yeah, but attachments is hosed I'm afraid.  .LRN provides glue to tie it and forums together, and it appears Open Force never  added the necessary stitching to let them work together outside the .LRN environment.

Chalk this one up to our concentrating hard on getting .LRN out the door last month, with most of our testing of OpenACS packages used in .LRN being done on .LRN test servers.  This masked the dependency on .LRN.

I'm afraid this requires too much work to attempt to fix in 4.6.3.  Perhaps 4.6.4 and certainly by 5.0.  Sigh.

I've looked over attachments and forums again and have to say I'm not very happy with several elements.  Attachments in particular depends on file storage and ought to be using the CR directly.
