Hello,
a quick question: I am moving Phorum to a different server, but there is a limit on the size of the database. I have all the attachments stored in database, so that is 1.4GB of data. Is is possible to flush them out to disk using this plugin?
Thanks

Frost

This module contains an on-the-fly conversion mechanism, which will convert files that are stored in the database to disk storage, right at the moment that they are requested. This mechanism will gradually convert the available files to the disk storage.

If you want to forcibly convert all available files to file storage, then you can use the conversion script console_convert.php that you can find in the module directory. This script's intended use it to run it from the system command prompt, using the PHP interpreter. See the module's README file for more info.
