With this hack you can send attachments inside private messages.
Sometimes you may want to send an image or file to another user, but
you just don't want to disclose your email or make the file public,
with this hack you can attach it to the private message.

in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbhacks-germany.com and

* Fix with new registered user and welcome pm (Thx to Redlabour)
* Attachment (AJAX) now included in newpost_attachment template, see image, no edits necessary.

Import and overwrite the new 1.53 file if you 1.52 installed before

Cheers for this - installed

Richard

will this work for 3.60?

This is the update for v3.6

Hi m8, dont work for me, I see no options to add attachment, permissions were already set to yet as default, Also i have rebuilt the bitfields in case, I have done the dits, although this 1

Code:

<span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="smallfont">$pm[senddate]</span>

was not in there i could only find this

Code:

<span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="time" style="font-size:9px;">$pm[senddate] @ $pm[sendtime]</span>

it also says when creating a new pm "Send New Private Message" twice now, see image please

So i added the code after that.... any ideas what might be wrong?

Hi bashy,

Regards, Stoebi

For 3.5.4 only. Hm, okay, will see what i can do for you.

Regards, Stoebi

Ok Stoebi, thanks a lot m8

Installed, followed instructions to the letter, no errors or problems. Tested by sending a PM with attachment to a regular user account from my admin account. Attachment does not show, only placeholder box with red X.

Tried to send a PM from a regular user account to my admin account and got the same results. (See Screenshot)

HOWEVER...the attachments show up in the Sent Items box PM's as having been sent. They just don't show on the received PM

Suggestions?

* clicks install *

awesome!! now if someone can get the super pm feature to work. maybe you can take a look at it since you know how the PM system works?
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=100314

OK....I've installed this and did all the template edits. I'm running 3.6.1.

I got no errors on the install but I cannot see any place to add an attachment in the PM.

Usergroup settings are set to "YES". I'm not sure where you are talking about "user manager".

Don

This means that you have usergroup and individual user premissions, you will find them when editing a user @ the bottom.

I check them too and they are on... but it still dosent show the menu to add the attachments in the PM :S

Any support for this hack or are we on our own?

So....still doesn't solve this problem huh. :)

Well she dont work mate?

Yea...I've pretty much given up on it. Haven't uninstalled but probably will.

Nice you got it working, but could you post a screenshot of what to click to add an attachment? I've done it several times, and can't make it appear.

I think some people need to learn a little patience and be a little less rude. :)

Modification Authors do not spend 24 hours a day online, you might want to remember that Eurpoe is in a different timezone to the USA as well. Your early evening posts are almost midnight and beyond.

Hi,

i forgot to include the variable $attachmentoption in the template new_pm.

Sorry :(

Documentation in the first post (archive also) updated.

Regards, Stoebi

Edit:
Thank you Paul M :)

lol Stoebi, np, for the past 3 hours I was calling me a dumb ass trying to figure out what I was doing wrong never in my life I edited the same hack over and over ! :P

Thanks for your hack, is working fine now.

[high] * Kuimera clicks install again :)[/high]

Thanks, Stoebi, just noticed that you posted (was inbetween since the last edit and I was like 'did i do something wrong!?).

This ends the confusion!!

Thanks again

Hi,

you need to edit all your installed and used styles.
What style do you use? Is it for free? If yes, where can i dl your style for testing purpose. Which vBulletin version?

I've not tested this version with 3.5.4. No warranty, sorry.

In german (deutsch):
Mit solchen Aussagen kann ich absolut nichts anfangen.
Auf vbhacks-germany gibt es einen entsprechenden Thread, dann k?nnten wir dort das Problem besser angehen. Mein Englisch ist leider schlecht bis grottenhaft. Vielleicht hilfts dann ja auch den anderen.

Regards, Stoebi

German Short Description:

PM wird mit Anhang versandt. In der angekommenen PM ist dennoch kein Anhang. Ansonsten keine Fehlermeldung. Das Problem scheinen alle zu haben. Ich nutze den DefaultStyle von vBulletin.
