    I’m setting up a local development environment and I am trying to override the path to where forum attachments are saved so that uploading attachments will work on my local computer:

    $config['board_upload_path'] = $local_path . '/images/forum_attachments/';
    $config['board_upload_url'] = $local_url . '/images/forum_attachments/';

    Unfortunately, it’s not working - the paths are not being overwritten.  I’ve seen examples of others using them in the past, but maybe these two config variables are no longer available?

    The specific setting I’m trying to override is in the Discussion Forum module under Default Preferences -> Attachment Preferences -> Server Path to Upload Directory

    Any ideas?

    I’m using EE 2.4.0, Discussion Forum 3.1.7
