This is really urgent as this but is live on our site, with 80,000 members!

EE 2.5.3
MSM 2.1.4
PHP 5.3.15

We use safecracker file type to store and display files / images in a channel entry.

They work as expected in the parent site (although this only serves as a place to manage content by staff) files can be downloaded, images viewed as expected.

However nothing appears in the child site, no link or image, the safecracker tag generates nothing. It is just a safecracker tag on its own, it worked perfectly in 2.1 then 2.3.1 and was fine prior to upgrading to 2.5.3. Unfortunately this problem slipped through the net on our test site.

We tried uploading the old safecracker field code, but with no effect

Thanks

If anyone else is having this problem, here is some code which you should be able to use as a temp fix for the file downloads. As the url for the file has a {filedir_#} at the start of it, it includes some php to strip it out.

inside your channel entry tags…

{exp:query sql="SELECT field_id_NUMBER FROM exp_channel_data WHERE entry_id = '{entry_id}' "}
<?php
$rest = substr("{field_id_NUMBER}", 11);
echo "<a href="http://websitepath/filelocation/">Download</a>";
?>
{/exp:query}

Support guys not sure if it helps but when writing out the entry from the database the

was written as was and not parsed (dont know if this is a clue or as it should be!)

Thanks
