After installing this hack, you will be able to post new attachment when editing posts, even if these posts did not have a prior attachment.

(Version 1.1 is updated for vBulletin 2.2.4 - No need to update if you're running vBulletin 2.2.3b or lower).

Nice and easy. Good job :)

Want to make one that allows multiple attachments on one post, and would work similar to the way you can change the number of options on a poll? :)

BTW: Thanks everybody for your feedback! :D

// Edit: Yay!! I see you even installed it on this board! I'm honored, Chen! :p

Hmmmm....everything looks fine...there's a field to add an attachment now when editing a post, but the attachment doesn't show up. :confused:

Nevermind....I just added the last part after the first piece of code...I didn't realize there were two lines of that code. :D Cool hack.

hi all

YES - now it is possible to add a new attachment to a thread which hasn't got one ...

BUT - if you want to exchange an existing one - this code change doesn't work ... it only exchanges the name of the attachment, but if you klick on it you'll still get the old (previous one)

can you please check again?

THANX A LOT from vienna!

This problem is not related to my hack. However, I have written another hack to fix it. Unfortunately, it hasn't been installed on this board (yet?).

Does this work under vB v2.2.2? I applied exactly as specified, and attaching a file does nothing.

works for 2.2.2

But after edit it did not update as like a reply would.
Is there a way to bring to the front like a reply?

03-13-2002, 01:38 AM

does this work with 2.2.4?

Jadelit

03-13-2002, 02:09 AM

Well I dunno about other people but this hacked rocked.. well I did a little edit for it, to work for vbulletin 2.2.3 - 2.2.4 on a Reverted Template System, or fresh install..

Credits go to Tommy..

Tommy Boy

03-13-2002, 11:53 AM

I believe the hack works fine on version 2.2.4 as well, without this modification...?

Jadelit

03-13-2002, 01:41 PM

no it doesn't, if smart people would revert there templates to the original form, and then remake their style.. So you can get the full benifit of the upgrade..

John also recommends this..

Changed Templates

Note: Upgrading will not overwrite any of your custom templates. If you have customized any template that is listed as 'modified' below, we seriously recommend using the 'revert' option to return them to the default template, then re-applying your customizations.

Ok well thats juts my 2 cents..

Tommy Boy

03-14-2002, 10:56 AM

The code you are changing back, is actually part of the update of vBulletin, and is part of an important security fix. Reverting it back to its previous state, may endanger you and your users, as you are open to the PHP vulnerability regarding file uploads.

Therefore, you should leave the the editpost template untouched. vBulletin know what they're doing, and it doesn't affect this hack at all. You will have to apply the changes to the editpost.php file of course, but leave the template untouched.

Does anyone know how to make this hack work with 2.2.4 then? Or is it lost in the wild blue yonder...

Axel Foley

03-15-2002, 09:24 PM

I applied the ORIGINAL hack on 2.2.4 and it doesn't work. The attach file field comes up and I attach the file, but it doesn't come up. The effect seems like it doesn't get uploaded at all (too fast when submitting).

Tommy please take a look at it, this hack will be really useful when I'll get it to work.

Thanks...

Tommy Boy

03-15-2002, 10:42 PM

Seems like you're right, I was under the impression that the new version of vBulletin doesn't affect the hack, but apparently it does.

Therefore, I have updated the attachment in the first post. It is now compatible with version 2.2.4.

Preasidium, you need to edit the editpost.php file, not the template.

i can not found this part on vB 2.2.6. Please help me.

if (function_exists('ini_get')) {
if (ini_get('file_uploads')) {
$enctype = 'enctype="multipart/form-data"';
}
} else if (get_cfg_var('file_uploads')) {
'enctype="multipart/form-data"';
}

oki i have fixed the hack for 2.2.6.

Mystics

07-06-2002, 03:40 PM

Hi,

the Hack doesn't update the attachment count of the thread, so if there was no attachment before in this thread, the paperclip icon does not show up in the thread list of a forum.

To fix this, you have to do this change, after installing the Hack:

Search in editpost.php: // Add attachment on edit post hack (start)
elseif (trim($attachment)!="none" and trim($attachment)!="" and trim($attachment_name)!="")
{
$attachmentid=acceptupload($foruminfo[moderateattach]);
$attachmentsql=",attachmentid='$attachmentid'";and add below it: $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET attach = attach + 1 WHERE threadid='$threadinfo[threadid]'");Mystics

07-08-2002, 03:53 AM

I'm a little confused in the directions.

Still in editpost.php, look for: [vBulletin 2.2.6 and up ONLY!]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (phpversion() < '4.0.3') {
$enctype = 'enctype="multipart/form-data"';
} else if (ini_get('file_uploads')) {
$enctype = 'enctype="multipart/form-data"';
} else {
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Move this block a few lines up, just after this line:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$enctype = '';

Am I supposed to remove the text above " $enctype = ''; " and then put it back in below it?

Just ignore this step! It's no longer necessary since vB 2.2.6. :)

I have attached the final version for 2.2.6 with my Bugfix (see Posting above).

07-20-2002, 11:56 PM

After comparing the code that Mystics posted vs. the other code for 2.2.6, I went with Mystics. I dug around in other files and couldn't find where it would add to the attachment count, so that's why I used his. If this is incorrect someone post another update. ;) :bunny:

I disagree...:D

I only discovered a bug, like you discovered the attach counter update problem on Tommy Boy's code...;)

I think Tommy Boy deserves our thanks for the hack...good job.

I guess this is what this forum is here for...to help each other.

Has anyone updated this hack for 2.2.9 and up.

In the instructions after the $DB_site->query part in editpost.php (I am refraining from posting the code ) it shows to post the code after the second closing tag. Using 2.2.9 there is a few lines about "sort attachment" after the first closing tag.

Should this code be added after the second closing tag after the sort attachment part or before it or somewhere in between?

Mike

....ps...hope this makes sense
