anyway to disallow certain usergroups ??? - like admins etc

YES lasto !

in your attachment.php

search for

if ( !$vbulletin->db->query_first ( "SELECT postid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE userid='".$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]."' AND threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]" ) ) :

and in ( post WHERE userid='" )
write your usergroup this will be have permission to see attachments without reply the thread

example :
post WHERE userid='2,3,4,5,6"

[Daniel_HBK]

good hack

[MARCO1]

Thanks HBK

[Mike-D]

Why not using a Plugin instead editing the attachment.php? Create a Plugin and the right Hook. That's all

[BigChucky]

[MARCO1]

I hope you like it :)

[MARCO1]

is there any way to get to use with the thanks button instead of a reply.?

hmmmm . Maybe this will be in the next version . Good idea :up:

[lasto]

Thanks MArco - I agree with BigChucky that it would be good if they could only download attachments by way of the following :

1 - Hit thanks button
2 - Reply to thread

Now that would be the Best way

[Medtech]

thanks button option would be perfect!!

[MARCO1]

OK . i will do this
Thanks Guys

[Nadeemjp]

NEW UPDATE


YES lasto !

in your attachment.php

search for

if ( !$vbulletin->db->query_first ( "SELECT postid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE userid='".$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]."' AND threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]" ) ) :

and in ( post WHERE userid='" )
write your usergroup this will be have permission to see attachments without reply the thread

example :
post WHERE userid='2,3,4,5,6"



This didnt work for me, i got an error..

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('MARCO1 Cant See Attach') . '");');
endif ;


any ideas?

[MARCO1]

Try To replace this line

if ( !$vbulletin->db->query_first ( "SELECT postid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE userid='".$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]."' AND threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]" ) ) :


Replace With
if ( !$vbulletin->db->query_first ( "SELECT postid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE userid='6".$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]."' AND threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]" ) ) :

Ok i tried that, i didnt receive an error but it still didnt work.

Thanks for helping but if i cant get this sorted im gonna have to uninstall. :confused:

[edit] Infact it didnt work for anybody wanting to download after that code edit. They could reply to the thread 10 times and they still couldnt have downloaded the attachment.

[Powlo]

Any other ideas to prevent admin from having to reply?

[Powlo]

OK that one seems to have got you stumped a little, how about being able to turn it off for a certain style?

[crazlunatic]

Hi. Great plugin you have here. Is there a plugin or can you mod it so that it says they are require to have a certain number of posts before they are allowed to download?

[Davros]

This doesn't work in any way shape of form for me.

I've done the edit to the attachment.php.

Is there supposed to be an option in VB Options or anywhere else in Admin CP?

I think you need to elaborate on this a little more, maybe a better read me file.

Also worth mentioning when I reply to the post I still get the

.You can't Download The Attachments Before Reply To The Thread.

Best Wishes message.

This includes all usergroups including Admin even with this line in the attachments.php

if ( !$vbulletin->db->query_first ( "SELECT postid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE userid='6".$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]."' AND threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]" ) ) :

[Powlo]

You need to remove the 6 from that line cos it doesnt work, infact it stops it from working altogether. As yet we havnt another solution to the Admin problem which is a shame cos this could be a really good mod for my forum.

[Powlo]

If you want to prevent a usergroup or groups from having to reply to a thread before downloading attachment you need to do this..

Replace this code ...
if ( !$vbulletin->db->query_first ( "SELECT postid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE userid='".$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]."' AND threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]" ) ) :

with this this..


if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, x, y, z))
{
if ( !$vbulletin->db->query_first ( "SELECT postid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE userid='".$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]."' AND threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]" ) ) :
}


Changing x, y, z for your groups that dont need to reply.

Hope that helps.

Thanks to Lynne for her help.

Thanks for the advise but now I get this error when the attachment is clicked.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/test/domains/test-forum.com/public_html/forum/attachment.php on line 193

Install :

[MARCO1]

What's happen if you install the hack without any changes ? did it work ?

[Davros]

No not quite, after replying and hitting the attachment button, I was still getting the message.

[MARCO1]

Can you send your admincp info To PM For Me. So i will check it for you

[Davros]

Well I've actually got it working now, but theirs still no permission options, IE: every member group needs to reply to be able to download.

I'll try adding the custom code posted by Powlo again.

Thanks for helping with this.

I'll let you know how I get on.

[MARCO1]

Glad to hear that Davros :)
Waiting your feedback :D

[Davros]

Right with a bit of help from Stelthius I got this sorted.

Find this

// check if there is a forum password and if so, ensure the user has it set

Add Above it

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5,6,7))
{
if ( !$vbulletin->db->query_first ( "SELECT postid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE userid='".$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]."' AND threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]" ) ) :
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('MARCO1 Cant See Attach') . '");');
endif ;


Find this

?>

Add above it

}

All working If you need to add any additional usergroups just add them onto to the bit of code that's highlighted in Red separate them with ,

[firas]

can we chose which forums this addin works on?

[OcR Envy]

I'd love too see a version of this that hides a poll until someone replies!

[aakhan136]

thanks

[nando99]

Does this work on images with thumbs? Like will the thumbs show but will give an error message when clicked for full size if the user hasn't replied?

[kent_lkc]

installed but nothing happens. :(

[al3beer]

fantastic MARCO1

&

so thanks

lasto

for idea

[4nawadir.com]

Thanks MARCO
Installed

[maupassant]

We've tested this tonight and we like it except for one thing :
The thumbnails are not showing when it's on. Is there a way to fix this ?
:confused:

Thanks.

[hqlman]

Still waiting on new update, to allow download only after pressing thank you button :)

[yahoooh]

suggestion :
user who write the thread and attach file can choose if make people to dwonload without reply or have to reply
and this ofcourse if he use to prevent people from download before reply m it will prevent user unregistered to dowbload untill them register and reply
and if unregistered usergroup prevented from download untill they register there are will be only error message to user registered and reply if he choose"have to reply to download"

this should be only for files not images
thank u

[Willy T]

Anything more about working with the Post Thanks hack?

[MARCO1]

Anything more about working with the Post Thanks hack?

This Mod Is no longer support, however I have released MARCO1 Hide All for all vB4 series

[JGreig]

Is it possible to limit this to just 1 forum or thread and if so how would that be done?

[haytham]

NEW UPDATE


YES lasto !

in your attachment.php

search for

if ( !$vbulletin->db->query_first ( "SELECT postid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE userid='".$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]."' AND threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]" ) ) :

and in ( post WHERE userid='" )
write your usergroup this will be have permission to see attachments without reply the thread

example :
post WHERE userid='2,3,4,5,6"

Didn't work for me.

Has anyone tried with 3.8? The mod is working perfectly as is just that Admins also have to reply which is annoying.

[ronaldkeaton]

Dear brother,
This mod has problems:
1. Uncompatible with UTF-8 (Charset uncompatible)

2. How to modifify this MOD to show a message box
