Attachment Size in Postbit (like vb3)

[tpearl5]

First off, I take no credit for this hack. It was created by Mist. He does some wonderful work! If you need something custom made, contact him.

I decided to release this as I thought it may be useful to others.

What it does: This hack simply adds the file size (in kb) next to an attachment, kinda like vb3 does. vb3 uses bytes, but I thought it would be cleaner in kb

One edit each to showthread.php and functions.php One modification to postbit_attachments template.

I cannot provide support for this hack.

What are you talking about Liam :)?

[MindTrix]

I've thought of a couple of hacks i would like made, but money is the issue for me, Basically i cant afford to spend out loads on a hack :p Hence me asking how much this one cost

[gmarik]

Thanks, it's great!
Could you make another add-on, so I can choose the place where the attachment link shows up - in the left or right corner, or at the top of the post, can you?!

[Dean C]

Ok then please contact me in private instead of discussing this publically :)

[MindTrix]

Yeah fair enough but i wasnt really discussing it ;) Just asked him to PM me telling me how much it cost. So you might hear from me soon Mist ;)

I am runing vb 2.3 and installed this hack but all attachments says this Files downloaded X amount of times 0 kbs No matter file size it is allways 0kb any ideas

[Giveit2u43]

haven`t downloaded but I`m guessing that this will only work on new attachments as it writes the filesize into the table along with the rest of the attachment data and then just reads it from there for the postbit..

Are you sure you copy/pasted everything correctly?

Nope, it works with all existing attachments

[CarolinaKid]

Here is what i have done.
In functions.php
if ($post[attachmentid]!=0 and $post[attachmentvisible]) {
$post[attachmentextension]=strtolower(getextension($post[filename]));
$post['attachlength'] = round(($post['attachlength'] / 1024), 1);
$post['filename'] = censortext(htmlspecialchars($post['filename']));

In showthread.php
post.*,post.username AS postusername,post.ipaddress AS ip,user.*,userfield.*,".iif($forum[allowicons],'icon.title as icontitle,icon.iconpath,','')."
attachment.attachmentid,attachment.filename,LENGTH (attachment.filedata) AS attachlength,attachment.visible AS attachmentvisible,attachment.counter
".iif($avatarenabled,",avatar.avatarpath,NOT ISNULL(customavatar.avatardata) AS hascustomavatar,customavatar.dateline AS avatardateline","")."

Then in postbit attachment i have this
<p><normalfont><img src="{imagesfolder}/attach/$post[attachmentextension].gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="">Attachment: <a href="attachment.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$post[postid]" target="_blank">$post[filename]</a></normalfont><br>
<smallfont>This has been downloaded $post[counter] time, $post[attachlength]kb(s).</smallfont></p>

[MindTrix]

Just a minor note tpearl5, your installation instructions is missing the $ sign off of the 1st piece of code to find.

This bit--

post[attachmentextension]=strtolower(getextension($post[filename]));

As i said minor note :)

in 2.2.9 the showthead.php has
attachment.attachmentid,attachment.filename,attach ment.visible AS attachmentvisible,attachment.counter

twice, the second one is what needs replace.


good hack btw

[David_McPherson]

That did it... Thanks sir.
