Description

Hello, after Moodle upgrade all the zip files attached to post I have made in Using Moodle forums are no more here either for posts made a few days ago and for older posts.
I don't know if other filetypes or other users are impacted as I am only sure for my own posts.
I am quite sure they were here on last friday.
If necessary I can give one or 2 posts that I am sure were having zip files attached.

The files that I had attached some days ago are no more visible in the forum posts but they are still in the file picker "Recent files" so they have been uploaded correctly, but maybe I have not correctly attached these files to forum posts. This is strange because I was quite sure that I verified the file was displayed correctly in my posts ??

This was introduced as a regression of MDL-27810

Wow. Ready for integration before I even get a chance to triage it. How efficient is that!

Hello Sam,
Thanks for fixing this so quickly. Sorry to have first reported this problem as a MOODLESITE because at first I didn't had the idea to test it on my 2.1 test install!!
I can confirm that applying the patch on my test Moodle 2.1 install fix the problem both for posts made before the fix and for posts made after. All attachments are displayed correctly.

Both testing and looking at the code it seems OK to me but I am certainly not an expert in forum code !!

Thanks for looking at it Jean-Michel.
No probs with creating it as an MDLSITE issue, we always check things to make sure they are in the right place and it is easy to move

I'm putting this up for intgeration now.

Cheers
Sam

Amending the issue summary, as all attachments are affected, not just zip files.
