That's really mysterious, because the "uploads" / "editor" / "ke" folders on the web server are restricted. What should happen is that they are stored in a different location entirely, given sequential long IDs, and indexed by that long ID in an XML file that is more or less a database. You've managed to "hack" tFB. Yikes!

And you have just confirmed that it's possible.

Rise, my mighty army of bots & prepare for invasion...

Nah, it's far simpler than that - the /uploads directory represents the old method of doing uploads, which runs using the same front-end functionality but with an alternate code path as the mechanism by which it's done with a different target. Both have to be active to preserve old uploads, but only the most recent should be accessible via the editor.

Essentially...yet again, the issue is crappy, buggy Vanilla code

This is awsome. Re-tabbing straps should be a piece of cake for you? I wish I had seen this thread earlier... Guess why LOL.

Spoiler alert: Gave up a strap I really, really liked because the tabs were a bit trash.

hi all here are 2 completed bags really trying some new shapes here,

Strangefan · August 2023

Hi

So over the last 2 months it's become aparent I may have a future in this, I have sold consistently and had some amazing Comissions to boot.

For the first time in my life there is a glimmer I won't have to work for someone else and can make a living doing something I love.... A long way off but how exciting

Good luck in growing your hobby into a small business. It's good to know that there is a market for hand made quality goods instead of the never ending made to a price tat.

Absoloutly, I would never have considered it more than a hobby but women in the age bracket of 35 to 65 can't seem to get enough!

I now have to fill out a self assessment!

I’m not surprised, the quality of your work looks excellent and you have some very different designs, certainly well out of the normal run of the mill stuff. Well done!

a bit of fun before I go on holiday

Strangefan · August 2023

Probably the best yet

Nitefly · August 2023

Getting better all the time, Matt - look at the stitching here compared to the pieces on the first couple of pages, much neater now.

And the waves in the piece above - just beautiful.

Thanks @Nitefly they are definately an improvement on the last

Have to agree that they're gettting better all the time Matt. What's your lead time on custom pieces @Strangefan ? I'd love to get a bag done for the littlegreenwoman for Christmas...

I need about 2 weeks thats it:)

Strangefan · October 2023

Hi all, I have been mad busy with this recently, I have had some real traction with the bags, it's blown me away to be honest, I'm spending a lot more time on each bag making them as amazing as they can be, I can honestly say I have not seen anyone else do what I doing, and the Comissions from here have been a big part of me keeping motivated to carry on and improving.

Here are some recent creations

Strangefan · October 2023

This week's project

Howdy, Stranger!
