Okay, so im converting a mod, and...

[TyleR]

would like a tad bit o' help from you more experianced ones..im porting Mad_Max (of vbhackers.com)'s Install System Mod to vB 3.5.x...well, it requires a LOT of file editing..mostly within attachment.php (replacing code).

is there any way to get around replacing alot of the code by using a hook?

Thanks!,

Tyler

Look inside attachment.php and see if there are any hooks located where your code would go.

[TyleR]

there is, but it needs to replace a line above the hook..what I was wondering is if there was a work-around from editing attachment.php itself.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Try to recode it so it can run in the hook location instead of above.

[TyleR]

not possible..this is what i'm talking about:

find:

if ($attachmentinfo['postid'] == 0)
{ // Attachment that is in progress but hasn't been finalized
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != $attachmentinfo['userid'] AND !can_moderate($attachmentinfo['forumid'], 'caneditposts'))
{ // Person viewing did not upload it
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('invalidid', $idname, $vbulletin->options['contactuslink'])));
}
// else allow user to view the attachment (from the attachment manager for example)
}
else
{
$forumperms = fetch_permissions($attachmentinfo['forumid']);

$threadinfo = array('threadid' => $attachmentinfo['threadid']); // used for session.inthread

print_no_permission();
}

verify_forum_password($attachmentinfo['forumid'], $vbulletin->forumcache["$attachmentinfo[forumid]"]['password']);

replace with:
