Download button for attachments
 

Looking for a way to mod attachments to show a download button that links to a posted attachment rather than the attachment file name. Basically just want to hide the filename replace with a button. Any relatively easy way to accomplish this?

Hmm, surely somebody has implemented a mod like this.....could it be possible by editing phrases maybe?

Have you tried just modifying the postbit_attachment template to do this?

Ok, that makes sense. I'm no expert on this type of thing, but I'm guessing this is the bit of code from postbit_attachment I'm concerned with:

Can somebody point me in the right direction as to how to go about editing this to get an image rather than the file name?

Ok, took a shot at it myself and it's pretty easy. For anybody else seeking to do the same here's what I did:.

Yep, good job and thanks for sharing the solution. :)

Hi,

how can I make the download button when I use a Hide-Hack for attachments?
The bbcode looks like [HIDE][ATTACH]Link to file[/ATTACH][/HIDE]

I only see the attach number. But instead of the number I wanna see a download button.

Can someone tell how to do this?

I'm on vB 4.1.10

Thx for help.
