Edit Attachment Filenames 3.0

About this hack:
This hack is a pretty useful hack. It lets you edit filenames of attachments. Only users with 'canmoderateattachments' permissions on the forum that the attachment it posted by will be allowed to edit the filenames.

You access the edit by double clicking right near the filename of an attachment. It will bring up an edit box similar to the edit thread title vb feature. You will get an option to save or cancel the edit.

Now that you can see a list of all attachments in one thread, you would want to name some attachments differently so they can be identified with out looking at the post.

The filename extension cannot be edited.

Will this work for attachments as files as well as attachments in the db?

I wish you can eliminate the template edits! Can you?

Do you have installed Template Modification System from Andreas? Use the attachment. ;)

@Abe1
Better use $vbphrase[save] and $vbphrase[cancel], please. :)

Javascript error, if I want inline edit an attachment in postbit template (see attached thumbnail, please):
Error: document.getElementById("attachment_filename_" + attachmentid) has no properties
Source file: .../clientscript/edit_attachment_filenames.js
Line: 9

document.getElementById('attachment_filename_' + attachmentid).innerHTML = ''
Edit:
Updated templateedits, because copy & paste error. Please download the templateedits-abe1_edit_attachment_name.xml (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=80451&d=1210595430) again and reimport. sorry. :(

Will be hard. It hard codes this into the plugin because I use 'button' and not 'submit'. It right now compares the Save or Cancel text.

You did not do the template edits perfectly then. It seems like you are missing the 2nd template edit for postbit_attachment

[Abe1]

Sure.

[Abe1]

I wish you can eliminate the template edits! Can you?
Nope. I wish I was able to though. I can make the headinclude edit go automatic. Maybe for next version.

[Stoebi]

Thank you very much Abe1 for this hint, this was a typically copy & paste error. Copied twice same text for find and replace :(

Regards

[TWTCommish]

This looks awfully slick. Nice addition. :)

Hm, i see no differents, if I use $vbphrase[save] instead save etc.

How to I can edit one image file name with this tool?

thumbnails are enabled in my board.

Abe1, any way to get this to work on attachment thumbnail file names?

How to I can edit one image file name with this tool?

thumbnails are enabled in my board.

1st,
if you click on page forumdisplay.php on the URL -->> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/05/5.gif <<-- for the thread where you need to edit thumbnail image name then you will be able to do so.

2nd,
You can do so...

Open template:
postbit_attachmentmoderated

Find:
<tr>

REPLACE with this:
<tr<if condition="can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'canmoderateattachments')"> ondblclick="edit_attachment_name($attachment[attachmentid]);"</if>>

Find:
<td><if condition="$show['modattachmentlink']"><a href="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;d=$attachment[dateline]"<if condition="$show['newwindow']"> target="_blank"</if>>$attachment[filename]</a> ($attachment[filesize])<else />$attachment[filename]</if></td>

REPLACE with this:
<td><if condition="$show['modattachmentlink']"><a href="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;d=$attachment[dateline]"<if condition="$show['newwindow']"> target="_blank"</if> id="attachment_filename_$attachment[attachmentid]">$attachment[filename]</a><a id="attachment_filename_edit_$attachment[attachmentid]"></a> ($attachment[filesize])<else />$attachment[filename]</if></td>


After that you can take any post.
Select it with inline moderation.
Then "Unapprove Attachments"
By double clicking on file name icon change the file name you like.
Then "Approve Attachments" for that post again.


3rd,

You can open the template:
postbit_attachmentthumbnail

ADD to the END of the template:
<if condition="can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'canmoderateattachments')"><a id="attachment_filename_$attachment[attachmentid]" ondblclick="edit_attachment_name($attachment[attachmentid]);">$attachment[filename]</a><a id="attachment_filename_edit_$attachment[attachmentid]"></a></if>


After that in the thread up to the right of any thumbnail you will see the filename.
Double click on it and you can change the name.


I know that it's not beautiful, but I could not find a better way to do so for that template.

You can try to add:
<if condition="can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'canmoderateattachments')"><a id="attachment_filename_$attachment[attachmentid]" ondblclick="edit_attachment_name($attachment[attachmentid]);">*</a><a id="attachment_filename_edit_$attachment[attachmentid]"></a></if>

Then you will only have "*" after each thumbnail and not file name.
