Show image attachments as images instead of links

[Slynderdale]

I know theres a setting that allows you to show attached images instead of showing them as a link, but that will show every attached image, with this hack, when you post a new reply, a new thread or even edit a post, theres a option under attachments that allows you to choose if you want to show the image as a link or show the actual image, this also has support for swf flash movie attachments as well.

Theres two settings for this, one allows you to enable and disable this hack and another allows you to have it so only admin's can use this.

This hack is pretty self-explanatory but ill show screen shots.

(Screen shots are from a multiple attachment hack I'm working on)

As you can see, the images are actually shown instead of being shown as links.

Also this also prevents attachments from caching, some of you might of experienced this by downloading a new version of a hack but got an old version, I added a fix for that in this hack as well.

This goes for all my hacks, the only thing I ask of in return for using this hack on your forum is to click Install (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?s=&action=install&threadid=48702).

i guess you did not read very well fuwl .. the hack allows the user to specify if the image is shown or linked when posting an attachment.

Yes I know, I explained it above, what makes this different is that you can choose if you want to show each attachment as an image or link, you have a choice when you post, but with the defsault vb option, it shows all the links no matter what.

This also works for swf flash files as well, the built in vb option didnt have that.

Its not hard to do, I know theres alot of file edits but most of it is just copy and paste, if you havnt istalled alot of hacks it should be a breeze, first open in your text editor and then do what it says, if it says find something, just go to your text editor's search function and search for the bit of code it tells you to find and replace it, if you installed other hacks that edit those pieces of code, find the code thats different and add it, for example:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE post SET title='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."',pagetext='".addslashes($message)."',allowsmilie='$allowsmilie',showsignature='$signa ture',iconid='$iconid'$editedbysql$attachmentsql WHERE postid='$postid'");

*************
replace it with:
*************

$DB_site->query("UPDATE post SET title='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."',pagetext='".addslashes($message)."',allowsmilie='$allowsmilie',showsignature='$signa ture',showimage='$showimage',iconid='$iconid'$edit edbysql$attachmentsql WHERE postid='$postid'");


Thr code thats different is:
showimage='$showimage',

so copy and paste that into the code in your file, but if the line is exactly the same as it says in the text, just copy and paste over it. The average install time for this hack is 10-20 minutes

Not sure why a hack is needed.

If someone wants you to see the image immediately, they {img}{/img}. If they don't, they {url=blahblah.jpg}click here for image{/url}

This hack is for the attachments, In case the user atatches the image, they can select if they want the attachment to show or not, also it prevents attachments from being called from the brwsers cache as well. And it also has the ability to play swf flash attachments too.

I've disabled

View Images
Do you wish to display attached images in the threads? Select no to just generate a link to download the image.
on admin vb options, but I want an option in user CP to change that option for each user.

Can you help?
