uninstalled, like everyone else here this doesn't work for me and there is no real support.

I would like pay $100 for 4.x modification

I would throw in some money too

Select YES for old members

User Options
SQL query
UPDATE `user` SET `pm_attachments` = '3' WHERE `user`.`userid` ;

Group Options
UPDATE `usergroup` SET `pm_attachments` = '3' WHERE `usergroup`.`usergroupid` ;

hmmmn

I might try to get it to work on vB4, no promises though :)

I can pay some money via webmoney too, if somebody can make vb4.x modification

I've checked vbulletin's code and I'm pretty sure this can be done without template changes or changes to the original vbulletin code. There seem to be enough hooks to do this from the plugin system. That's nice but I'm not 100% sure yet as I've not been able to look further because I'm actually busy doing other things.
If you want me to write a mod like this for vb4, then please contact me. I'm accepting donation that will allow me to make time for writing a PM Attachments mod for vb4.

edit: a template change is needed (you need to add the {vb:raw attachmentoption} below the editor.)

You might want to re-read this..

In other words, modify it, release it and then hope for donations. ;)

I just installed this modification today.

Install seems to have gone properly.

When I go to "User Manager" and add the permissions to a user group to "Yes" it doesn't give the individuals in the group the ability to use the mod.

I have to go to the individual user and turn it on in their profile.

With 9000 members on my site I can't go to each user and turn it on.

How do I make it happen using the usergroups?

D.

I never said I'm going to "port" this one to vb4. I said I would write a vb4 mod that does exactly the same thing.

Porting this mod to vb4 is actually the same as doing a new mod as nothing of this code is usable in vb4.

the attachments dialgue box does not show up for me even thought I have allows PM send and receive on my user groups.

any ideas why not?

by the way - this got it to work for me:

you have to go back and set all of the users pm_attachments field.

update user set pm_attachments = 3 where usergroupid in(2,5,6,7);

Holly crap Ive been needing this for soooo long, installed and voted. but its no giving my any options in admincp :(

If anyone can help I would love you forever

vb 3.8.7

.....

**EDIT** Ok Did as told and seemes to be working, I just have to mually approve each user so far.

For those of you worried about user using unlimited bandwidth, then just change it in user group settings

AdminCP ===> UserGroup Manager ===> Choose the user group ===> Scroll down to attachment settings===> max size in bytes.

Save

Great mod very important for my forum

Installed and permissions set but does not show in reply to private message, what did I miss?

vb 387 PL2

Installed..... I've always wondered why PM's didn't have this option.

Thank You

We must every time select a user and put permission to : ON ?

there is no option to put all user can use this MOD ?

Attachments for Social Groups please !!!

I have just installed this and set the appropriate settings in each usergroup.

For example, I have set "Registered Users" to be able to receive, but not send and a premium usergroup allows them to be able to send and receive pm attachments.

Unfortunately, these settings are not automatically applied to the users and the only way I can get this to work is to change the settings for each user individually. With 10000 members, that is not an easy option. Sure, I could probably automate that in SQL, but am not sure what the command would be.

Reading though the posts, I can see that some people here have got this to work so I would appreciate some guidance here. In phpmyadmin, I have found the pm_attachments field in the forum_user database. What is the command I have to enter into the SQL window to automatically set the pm_attachments to 3 for selected usergroups?

I read here someone quoting: update user set pm_attachments = 3 where usergroupid in(2,5,6,7);

Could I simply run this command to update all users:

update 'forum_user' set 'pm_attachments' = 3 where usergroupid in(2,5,6,7);

Would this work, or am I missing something. It would be much better if the software would work as advertised and simply apply the setting according to the Usergroup without having to manually update each user.

I hope someone can assist me here.

Regards

Peter

Don't bother, I have just uninstalled this mod and installed this mod instead. That one works properly.
