how do I confirm and change the way AC stores attachments?

I would prefer having all uploaded files and attachments stored in a files base directory on the server and not in within the database.

thx

activeCollab does not store files in database, only their meta data - their name and MIME type. Binary content is stored in /upload folder.

thx

basically what we need
we want to take advantage of the ability to have files uploaded and comment / discussd / version controlled for each file but, we need the files to be stored in a folder on the server (which seems to be the case now) without changing the original file name..

is this possible?

thx

No, it is not possible.

activeCollab does not enforce file name to be unique (you can have two myfavoritesongs.doc files attached to a single ticket or posted in a single category without any problems) so using original name on file system storage would require pretty weird subfolder structure. That is unnecessary complexity and we do not plan to introduce it.

You can use project exporter module (activeCollab Corporate only) to export entire project, including files, in a list of static pages (like a little website).
