With this hack you can send attachments inside private messages.
Sometimes you may want to send an image or file to another user, but
you just don't want to disclose your email or make the file public,
with this hack you can attach it to the private message.

[lmurawski]

This is the update for v3.6

[bashy]

Hi m8, dont work for me, I see no options to add attachment, permissions were already set to yet as default, Also i have rebuilt the bitfields in case, I have done the dits, although this 1

<span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="smallfont">$pm[senddate]</span>

was not in there i could only find this
<span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="time" style="font-size:9px;">$pm[senddate] @ $pm[sendtime]</span>

it also says when creating a new pm "Send New Private Message" twice now, see image please

So i added the code after that.... any ideas what might be wrong?

[Stoebi]

Hi bashy,

the style you use, is it for free? Can i download this? Will install and look into it.

Installed, followed instructions to the letter, no errors or problems. Tested by sending a PM with attachment to a regular user account from my admin account. Attachment does not show, only placeholder box with red X.

Tried to send a PM from a regular user account to my admin account and got the same results. (See Screenshot)

HOWEVER...the attachments show up in the Sent Items box PM's as having been sent. They just don't show on the received PM

Suggestions?

[KevNJ]

* clicks install *

awesome!! now if someone can get the super pm feature to work. maybe you can take a look at it since you know how the PM system works?

[dknelson]

OK....I've installed this and did all the template edits. I'm running 3.6.1.

I got no errors on the install but I cannot see any place to add an attachment in the PM.

Usergroup settings are set to "YES". I'm not sure where you are talking about "user manager".

[oberheimhaven]

I installed 3.6 to the tee i see no opition to add file in the PM any s uggestions?

Same thing here, no errorsand the premisions are on but no menu to add the attachments :S im also running 3.6.1

[dknelson]

Yea...it has really frustrated me. I've checked the template edits 4 times, re-uploaded the files.....beats me.

[oberheimhaven]

same here mates??? 4 times andstill no add attachments???Any clue Im going back in!

[Kuimera]

I'm not sure where you are talking about "user manager".

This means that you have usergroup and individual user premissions, you will find them when editing a user @ the bottom.

I check them too and they are on... but it still dosent show the menu to add the attachments in the PM :S

[oberheimhaven]

Any support for this hack or are we on our own?

OK...I found where you mean. That doesn't make sense I don't think...well...since they are all "yes" at default, I guess it does. If somebody abuses it I guess you can turn it off for that individual.

So....still doesn't solve this problem huh. :)

[oberheimhaven]

Well she dont work mate?

[dknelson]

Yea...I've pretty much given up on it. Haven't uninstalled but probably will.

I think some people need to learn a little patience and be a little less rude. :)

Hi,

i forgot to include the variable $attachmentoption in the template new_pm.

Sorry :(

Documentation in the first post (archive also) updated.

Thank you Paul M :)

[Kuimera]

Thanks for your hack, is working fine now.

Hi,

you need to edit all your installed and used styles.
What style do you use? Is it for free? If yes, where can i dl your style for testing purpose. Which vBulletin version?

I've not tested this version with 3.5.4. No warranty, sorry.

Did you try a fresh Install or only a Upgrade ? I have deinstalled the 3.5 Hack before installed yours.

I think you have coded a Permission Error. There was no Recaching at Usergroups if i entered them after Installing.

[Lionel]

Clear instructions. Work very well on 3.60. Thank you.

It works for me with SuperPM installed, too. BTW., do you have really 3.6.x of vBulletin installed, because SuperPM (at the moment, hehe) is not working with vBulletin 3.6.x?


Regards, Stoebi

[redlabour]

Tested complete Installation again at 3.6.1 - no Attachments at all. Standard Style. No Super-PM.

Visiting the Usergroups does not bring the Bitfield Screen up.

[Hoffi]

Works like a charm. Thanks Stoebi.

red, just read the instructions and do the steps detailed.

[Stoebi]

Hi

Documentation updated for users which installed private attachments for 3.5.0 RC before:

[redlabour]

After Andreas (vbhacks-germany) checks my AdminCP again he still found 4 PlugIns from the old Hack. I am very sure that i have deleted them but thats what it was.

Anyway - it runs. For the ones where it is still not running :

Check the PlugIns again for old Codeparts.

I read the post and see most of you have gotten it working, here is where the manage attachement's button is in my pm system.

[Keyser S?ze]

i followed this guide step by step, and ive gone over it again tice now i didnt miss anything, yet in my forum the attachment thing does not show up in additional options, very strange, i checked and it is turned on for all usergroups

[hotwheels]

did you make sure it was set to yes in your admincp panel inside usergroups?

[Shazz]

If you need help on it showing up there are alot of things you can do and need to try all of them to make them refresh.

[Keyser S?ze]

yes sir i sure did

[Gripemaster]

Stoebi, thanks very much for the help. Much appreciated. Works like a charm now. *INSTALLED* :)

[Shazz]

yes sir i sure did
Do you have a instant messenger?

[Keyser S?ze]

yes i use AIM, i have anyone not on my list blocked so ud need to send me ur user name so i can add it

got too many trolls and jackels that would jump on me ;p

[Shazz]

Errm Add me... Its in my user profile

[Stoebi]

Problems?

Send me a pm with a full admin access (Style Manager, Product/Plugin Manager, Attachment Manager, Scheduled Manager) and your site name. If you problems to copy files to your server, create a FTP account, too. Create a new Admin/FTP account, so you can fast delete the accounts after my visit.

Finished words - please have patience. ;-)

[Spenser]

Mal auf deutsch:
das Ding läuft nicht.
Ich kriege keine Buttons für die Hinzufügung des Attachments bei den PM.

[Paul M]

Please use English.

[Spenser]

Anyway, the Hack doesn't work.
There is no box with attachment options when creating a new pm.
I use the style that comes with vb and double-checked the installation.

Small Bug :

German Error Discription (http://www.vbhacks-germany.com/forum/showthread.php?p=43299#post43299)

After a new Member is klicking on the Activationlink at E-Mail he get?s a Error Code with this Hack :

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /poltbofu/www.politikstube.de/forum/includes/class_dm_user.php(2396) : eval()'d code on line 1

After Refreshing the Window he is allready activated so this is only a cosmetically Problem. Hoping for a Update.

This only happens if you send a automatically PM to new Users.

It looks like PlugIn : private attachments - update attachment info causes this Error.

I see no instructions as to an edit to the template "newpost_attachment", so I assume this is handled in the XML file?? I still cannot get this to work, but will keep uninstalling, deleting and trying again. I always work on the Default template before moving on to others, so it must be on my end.

Thank you for your efforts.

I'm sorry, I did not indicate that. Installation is fine, edits are all in place and files are uploaded to Cron and XML. The Product has been imported and the Phrase file has been successfully merged.

I never get the "Manage Attachments" button in the New PM window.

All the lines appear in the "AdminCP -> Plugins & Product -> Plugin Manager" window and the activation buttons appear in the Usergroup Manager > "usergroup" section and are checked Yes in the Administrator group that I would use as the test before implementing site wide.

I just tried to add the edits into a style that has never been modified, with the same result of no "Manage Attachments" button appearing.

Thank you, as you can see by my being a "one poster" I usually can figure out all of this on my own by reading and doing the research first. This one has me stumped by something very simple I am overlooking.

I have VB version 3.5.4....
I have problem... all of sudden every 1 from Mod down cant send attachments...

Is there a way to disable this for all usergroups/users by default? Every single user has the permissions set to yes, even after I change their usergroup settings. Does this mean that I have to edit each user 1 by 1 in order to disable their permission?

Hi,

Short question, if we install this mod and run the impex importer afterwards will that work or is impex not supported?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Regards, Stoebiyes I do have to edit every single user 1 by 1 if I don't want them to have access?

[Stoebi]

yes I do have to edit every single user 1 by 1 if I don't want them to have access?

It's not needed. If you set the options to upload/download PM attachments in the usergroup for registered user to No, all users in this usergroup can't upload/download PM attachments.


Regards, Stoebi

[EasyTarget]

ok, so if I set the usergroup permissions to No but their user permissions say yes then it won't allow them to send attachments?

doesn't vbulletin usually work the other way around, where user permissions override group permissions?

This hack was useless to me. It never worked right and for the right usergroups and someone alerted me to a fatal error in the registration process which would display this after a registration was complete....

Fatal error: Call to a member function clean_gpc() on a non-object in /home/keepmusi/public_html/includes/class_dm_user.php(2396) : eval()'d code on line 1

The registration somehow did complete, but that page leads the new signup into believing that it didn't, and at the very least gave the impression that my site is broken and too confusing to try and figure out what to do next. I absolutely advise everyone not to even bother with this! Had that bug report not have come (it came from another vb admin I know so she knows to look out for such things), my site could have suffered in a major way. Avoid this like the plague.

[Stoebi]

Fixed in 1.53

[Lionel]

hummmm am I missing something here? Was there a problem? This hack worked for me on 3.60 since day 1.

[Muellmann]

i experienced a strange thing: as i installed this hack, registered users were not more able to edit them own attachments after they already have posted a new thread with pictures for example.

if a user posted a thread with a picture and wanted to add after one day to his posted thread a second picture he received the
"no permission"-screen.

if i switch off the hack, the user can upload the attachment without a problem.
if the hack is turned on again, the permission is again denied for the user who wants simply to edit his own thread with his attachments (add, delete attachment).

is there a fix? has anyone the same problem?
maybe it's connected with thread-id "-1" in this hack?
must i change the thread-id in the product in this case (and where)?

Edit: the fix works thanx Stoebi - now again installed ;)

This just popped up as a problem for me after testing it :)
Don't know what it could be..

*had to remove this as well

Here is the fix (official update comes later):
Plugin -> private attachments - initialize pm attachments if needed (Hook global_start)

Change Line 1

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'newattachment' AND $_REQUEST['type'] == 'pm')

to

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'newattachment' AND $_REQUEST['type'] == 'pm' AND !$threadid)

[Shazz]

Thanx Will try it out :)

[Revpolar]

Guys try this simple thing before you all get upset and say it doesnt work.
Go to your usergroup manager and set both options for PM attachments to no save and go back and set it to yes again and save.
After that it should work. I think you only need to do it for one usergroup to update all but you might want to do all to be on the safe side.

[350Chevy]

I have now added the edit, I now see the manage attachments, it lets me add 1, yet when message sent there is no attachment :(



I've a bit of the same problem. I'm not a n00b when it comes to hack installation. I've gone over this one 3-4 times now uninstalling and reinstalling following every last detail. I have the manage attachments box and am able to attach just fine. But when I send the message there is no attachment and no attachment paperclip? It's like it's there but the message is blank.

Running vB 3.6.2

Just installed this and it works perfectly in 3.6.2 exactly as described.:D However, the last few sentences of the instructions were a bit cryptic, but I was able to get to the right place after thinking about it for a minute or so. ;)

Thanks for this fantastic bit of programming wizardy. We have a small private forum where sometimes it is advantageous to have this capability and now we got it. Do you have a PayPal account I can drop a few $$ into?

Thanks! Very good! :)

[Simms]

I just installed this, and for what it's worth, I was having the same problem initially -- no box to add attachments, even after double- and triple-checking the installation.

I then posted a new thread with an attachment, just to make sure the basic functionality was still intact, and after seeing that work, the box suddenly appeared when sending a PM. So it's working fine now. :)

I don't know enough about coding php to say there's a cause-and-effect relationship between posting the thread attachment and the subsequent appearance of the PM hack, but I'm just sayin'....

This is in 3.6.4, btw.

[qqb825]

i just installed this on 3.6.0 and no problems so far. :D

i've been waiting for this hack FOR YEARS. thank you very much! :D




first post here at vbulletin.org!

[yoyoyoyo]

where can I get version 1.5.5? I did a version check and it came up as having been updated, yet I don't see any new version available

[hotwheels]

I am running this mod on my site and last nite a user found something really wierd and when i disabled this mod, it fixed the problem...

anyways, can someone who is running this check and see if you run into the same problem?

Log in as a regular user, not an admin or a mod.......then start a thread, just call it test thread, then save it......when the page refresh's, click edit, then click edit again and try to upload an image and see what happen's. My user's were getting "you don't have permission" messages. Once i disable the product and went back to the post, i was able to submit an image via editing.......

Please let me know what happen's with yours.......hotwheels

Any clues?

sparks, see what happen's with this update. (update.)

[ChurchMedia]

Hi,

Since I installed this I'm able to attach files and all of that seems to be working fine, but on a new PM I'm not getting a pmid assigned -- so I can't send new PMs. Any ideas? On a reply I get a pmid number -- just not on a new PM -- and it was working before.

Thanks for your help and the cool hack.

[Snake]

Just wondering if this is gonna work on 3.6.4 just fine...

[rubberdemon]

I just installed it on 3.6.4 and it works fine, though I had to do what Revpolar suggested above before the option showed up in the PM page. Go to your usergroup manager and set both options for PM attachments to no save and go back and set it to yes again and save.

However, people have told me that their archived private messages that had attachments on them have now lost their attachments. Anyone have any suggestions?

can this be done to the SEND EMAIL TO USERS section.....i really need it for flyers we send out for our events......

After Andreas (vbhacks-germany) checks my AdminCP again he still found 4 PlugIns from the old Hack. I am very sure that i have deleted them but thats what it was.

Anyway - it runs. For the ones where it is still not running :

Check the PlugIns again for old Codeparts.

Thanks - had the same odd issue

[ERuiz]

Installed on 3.6.4 and it's working perfectly! In order for the attachment button to appear on the new PM screen, I had to go to the AdminCP and set all usergroups to NO for receiving and uploading PM attachments and save it. Then do the same for each usergroup but changing it all to YES.

After that, everything worked perfectly! :up:

Well this finally got to working..after reading nineteen upteen million posts on the subject..
shame all of us had to read all the threads to figgure out how to make it work.
Then if that be the case, default settings should be "off" instead of on, requiring them to be turned on. :eek:

[FireFish]

I've experienced the same issues after install; no Attachments snippet in new PM screen.

The trick: Edit each user group, set their Attachments in PM permission to NO, save, then set it back to YES.

It seems the XML doesn't add values to the permission field for the usergroups & the YES is only displayed, not stored in DB.

[Deimos]

Question

I've got it turned on in the "Registered members" usergroup, but every registered member i've looked up, has it turned off in their individual settings, so they can't use it unless I manually change them all to yes
I tried turning it off at the usergroup level, saving, turning it on, resaving, but it hasn't worked?
Any suggestions?

[Florian Bernd]

Hi, fist sorry about my bad englisch ..

i've installed the hack with the installation manual ..

now it seems the $attachmentoption variable is emty ..

Hey .. there is a bug in the cron job script ..

i've send a pn with attachment to an user .. we have both deleted the mail .. but wehn im starting the cron script, the attachment is still avialible in the database ..

Does this add any queries?

[SirFlash]

I got this working in my vb 3.6.4

I had to edit the language file, phrases_en_pma_160906.xml to say 3.6.4 instead of 3.6.1, however there were no noticeable conflicts afterwards, everything works great.

Thank you - very useful mod!

[Chadi]

Not sure which is causing a conflict, but this hack I've installed
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=139167

Now, when I click the thumbnail picture attachment in the pm, it shows "loading" and nothing happens. Any fix or work around for this?

[criscokid]

It it possible to restrict what document types can be attached? What would happen if someone added an attachment that has a virus to a PM?

[voter]

I have 3.6.4.

After install, all buttons and Permissions are working.

Who have a Permission to download, he gets the possibility and could sent and receive the PMs with Attachments.

BUT

When one tryies to look the Attachment in received or sent PMs, as ordinary user one gets
Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

And Admins getting
you do not have permission to access this page.

Do any one of who were success with this hack, use Attachment Storage Type - File System?

I think this hack works only with Attachment Storage Type - Database....

[Riku Yuizaki]

Nice hack, got it to work!

One thing though, are random users blocked when they randomly type in an attachementid in the URL for a PM attachment that they aren't supposed to be able to view?

[Quantnet]

I have a problem and after searching around, there is a fix....

When someone attach a file in his post, not in PM, then he later goes back to his post and edit the post, if he try to add/delete the last file attachment, it will show a message saying he does not have permission to do this.

Nope. Installed 3 times on a clean 3.6.6 install and can't get this working. Tried all the tricks everyone else has mentioned but still nothing.

Uninstalling.

[Eccentricity]

same here on 3.6.7.... It doesn't work

[Eccentricity]

I admit I'm a little ticked at vBulletin for not including something so obviously needed into their core release. I know of free forum packages that allow attachments in PM. This is crazy.

I got this working by uninstalling the product and then reinstalling it. Odd. Now it works fine.

How can I see the attachments from other users?
A statistic as the normaly attachments stats would be great!

I tried it on 3.6.8 PL2 for the hell of it. Finally did the NO to YES thing, and the Attach Files box finally appeared when sending a PM. Now I can attach a file and send it, but there is no pic thumbnail in the PM when it is received. Pain in the ass. Uninstalled until someone can help.

same here. editing or deleting regular attachments is not working for unprivileged users on 3.6.8pl2.

Is there a fix?

[zendiver]

The reason is is that when installed, for some reason it maximizes the attachment storage capacity.

I have tried to figure this one out and have yet to find the solution but I keep trying. In the meantime, any other of you programmers want to give this one a go. It has and will continue to be a very good MOD when it is working properly.

You are saying that you DO NOT have any conflicts with uploading attachments? Seems everyone else is having the same issue: Attachments are maxed out....you disable this hack, and everything works again....this happens a fresh install as well as with other hacks.

You are saying that you DO NOT have any conflicts with uploading attachments? Seems everyone else is having the same issue: Attachments are maxed out....you disable this hack, and everything works again....this happens a fresh install as well as with other hacks.You can believe me what I said. Attachments are the most important things in my forum and I've never had any problems with Stoebi's hack. Any weeks ago I wrote a Attachment Search Hack for myself (vB does not have such a function) and too it contains a function to search the Attachments I've send out and also I've no problem with Stoebi's Hack. Also the Attachment IMG Resizer and the Attachment Highslide function works excellent!!!

Maybe I'm someone who never got any problems with that hack. Especially in combination with other special Attachment hacks :)

[echo2kk5]

Great, thanks for that. :)

[Boofo]

Confirmed to be working on 3.7.0 beta 6. Although I did have to save each usergroup first to get it to show up in the new pms. And you might want to check the banned usergroup as this is turned on for them on install. also, I see no paperecip or number of attachments in the pm list. But it seems to be working well, other than that. ;)

[Boofo]

Both permissions were set to yes on all usergroups by default when I went through each one to check. Could there have been something I missed?

Jim

Try saving each usergroup without changing anything. that's what I had to do to get it to show up in new pms.

[bada_bing]

Does anyone know if this hack will work with vb 3.5.x I like this one because I can control who can use it via the usergroup permissions.

Thanks

[Boofo]

@ Mike-D - Sorry to have to report this, sir, but I had to uninstall this as users were unable to upload attachments to the site anymore with this installed, as zendiver reported. I thought it was working, but I found out earlier today that a user could not upload a small file to an area I know he has permission to. How did you get it working with 3.7.0 beta 6?

[codershark]

At me it dont works on vb 3.7 Beta 6

RC1, still no problem. @Boofo. I know this was address to Mike, but just in case .... the only time that I had a permission problem with that hack in one of the installs, it was caused by vbcredits. In my case, vbcredits was the culprit. Once disabled, all went fine.

[Boofo]

I do not have vbcredits installed. They have permissions to upload and download in PMs fine. It is on the forum that they lost the permission to upload files. I don't run a lot of hacks so I'm thinking it has to be something missed in this hack that is causing that.

@ Mike-D - Sorry to have to report this, sir, but I had to uninstall this as users were unable to upload attachments to the site anymore with this installed, as zendiver reported. I thought it was working, but I found out earlier today that a user could not upload a small file to an area I know he has permission to. How did you get it working with 3.7.0 beta 6?Not needed to say sorry, Bob. It's ok ;)
This hack worked on all 3.6x and 3.7x versions. Any hours ago I updated to RC1 any you know what? This hack works strong without any problems. I remember doing something in that Code while using 3.7 Beta 1. But I can't remember what I did :( Whenever I figure out what exactly I did, I'll get back to you and to Lionel :) -Mike

[Boofo]

Can we get the xml that you fixed the code in? ;)

[Revpolar]

Its not the code its the bitfields. All you have to do is set each usergroups permissions to no then back to yes then it will work as advertised. (Yes with 3.7)

[Boofo]

I don't see how that will fix the not being able to use attachments on the site. That was what was happening with me.

[Jase2]

Does this work with vB 3.7? If not, I'll see what I can do on my dev board tomorrow.

Regards Jason :)

[Boofo]

It worked, but it disabled my forums attachments where no one could upload attachments on the forums.

[Jase2]

Have you got it working, Boofo? I'm going to see what I can do on my dev board, obviously if I get it functioning correctly, I won't be able to release since I don't have the permission.

[Boofo]

Whoops! Wrong thread. No, I don't have this one working at all.

[Fabikus]

Are you talking about users that can't delete uploaded public attachments after installed this mod?

[Boofo]

I'm talking about they can't upload attachments after installing this. It tells them they have no permission to.

[Keyser S?ze]

did u go iin the admincp, under usergroups and enable permission?

[Boofo]

Yes, did all that.

[Lionel]

Boofo, have you tried this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1099272&postcount=102) ?

[Boofo]

No, I never saw that, I will give it a try. Thnak you, sir. ;)

[Sworm]

this mod don't work on 3.7 RC2 , the att don't showed in PM's .

It is incompatible with any others hacks?

[Boofo]

You need to set the permissions for it to work.

[Lionel]

Boofo, you got it to work? Now it's my turn. The thing was working just fine with RC 2, then I installed a bunch of hacks those past 2-3 days, and while verything still working (I looked in database), I no longer display attachments in show_pm :-(

[Goodman_2020]

i had this hack few days ago with 3.6.8PL2. I had the button, i could upload the files...but nobody was receiving anything/sseeing anything either.
For some reasons, i reinstalled all my forum freshly (recreating it totally....i was in test phrase) but this time with 3.6.9. I followed step by step thez process, but at the begining nothing was showing up, then for no reasons the button for attach files appears. so i clicked on it to try, but i got an error message telling me "Invalid Post specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator" (im the admin).

Is it working for anything else than 3.6.1? is there any support for the hack? isee people claiming it works with all versions since 3.6.1...why wil lit work for them andd not for ohers (including me)? i have a fresh version with no hack/mod installed

[Cobro]

dose this work on 3.7.0 And gold when it comes ??

[Spenser]

Due to security changes in 3.6.10 this Mod doesn't work anymore. Will there be an update?

Works fine for me after upgrading to 3.6.10...had to re-edit the templates but it took only a couple minutes. I'm hoping for this to be carried over to vB 3.7 also.

Hmmm...
Sounds strange. Everything seems to work fine here, but the receiver doesn't see the attachment. Can't be a general problem as old attachments can still be accessed.

Are the PM Attachment Permissions set correctly in the usergroups settings in your ACP?

[echo2kk5]

I upgraded to 3.7 gold two days ago and thought I would try this mod...it works perfect! I followed the original instructions and it's flawless...I believe there were a couple rephrased lines when adding the code for the templates, but it's easy to see where it goes by using a partial line of the install instructions.

[Keyser S?ze]

im using 3.7 gold anf this mod is working just fine

what i did was i reverted the template to bring it up to compliance with 3.7, then reinstalled this mod

[csoroner]

Just installed on 3.6.9. Very nice work...

[Quantnet]

How can we get this to work in PM reply. As of right now, the mod only allows you to add attachment when you create new PM. I need a way to attach when reply to PM.

[Keyser S?ze]

on reply it works fine for me

[Cobro]

i am using style clear blue and i can`t get it to work could some one try it on clear blue

[HansMuenchen]

Hello,

Thnx for the answer
Greetings
Hans

[Quantnet]

[citroenar]

Is not work fine in 3.7

If registered user go to edit his post and want to upload attachment get a no permission message.

Think you don't set the permissions right, like it was standing into the instrution. You must set the permissions of the attachment folder to 777.

Before I install this everything was working ok,after they get no permission message.

how do you think users can upload attachments if folder was not set 777?

OK I missunderstood it :) Maybe a error message would be nice. Is it a permission message because upload or is it a permision message about no rights? Maybe interesting to fix your problem.

[citroenar]

It is a permision message about no rights (thats happen in post editing,not in PM).when I disable product everything is ok.

[Eq4bits]

just reinstalled after upgrade to 3.7.2, seems to be working with no problems.

[klaush]

O.k., may be just a hint for you.

I had to update my usergroups for working this stuff without problems.

Thanks for this useful mod.

[Xphusion]

3.7.2 Patch Level 1 CONFIRMED WORKING HERE:up::up::up::up::up::up::up::up:

[bada_bing]

Does this hack user user group permissions ?

[MissKalunji]

got a question....What happens to the file attached after? if someone deletes the Pm is the attachement deleted too?

[Lionel]

there is a schedule task for that

[MissKalunji]

ah Cool thank you :)

[abu-sakaria]

could u make it in vb 3.7

[MissKalunji]

it does work on 3.7

[Robru]

works good in 3.8

[ShackMaster]

I do not get a gemclip in the posting toolbar so that the attachment can be inserted into the message.

If I insert it manually, it does not show the image, but only links to it. That is not much help.

[Jim O]

Can anyone confirm that this is working on 3.8.1?

[Quantnet]

it works fine with 3.8.1

[Jim O]

Many thanks!
