New Posting Features - Attachment In Quickreply

What this hack does is to add an attachment option to quickreply in showthread as of New Reply or New Thread. This is good for boards that have slacked members who don't want to click on New Reply, but wanting to attach file on Quickreply.

check your showthread.php file again . i don't think it prints out warning fetch_max_attachment_size() as an underfined function if you have includes/functions_file.php included. (fetch_max_attachment_size() is declared in includes/functions_file.php file )

(can you post link to your board so that i can check that error?)

Do you have Upload Attachment enabled to Registered Group? Usergroup that has no Upload permission won't see this option in quickreply.

Enable Upload: Usergroup -> Usergroup Manager -> Can Upload Attachments.

Hi mate, thanks for replying to offer help, well, i knew the answer already, but i checked this and "Upload Attachments" is Yes. Plus they are uploading on the board already.

So i created a fresh account to try it. (BTW - I can still see the button at all times)

HERE IS THE MESSAGE I RECIEVE WHEN I TRY TO UPLOAD AS A MEMBER
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

meatandtwoveg, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.


Very weird! http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/showt...700#post337700

that's odd cuz I tested on localhost & my board as normal users, and they both work fine.

( you can test it out on my board as well... http://all4actions.net )



**** edited ****

I figured out why.... cuz you set regular members not to upload nor download attachment in Announcement forum. It works fine for any other forums on your board. ^_^

This will list the valid extentions instead of just displaying a blank space.

How would you add commas to separate the extentions?
