This hack was created on a custom job that I am doing for a third party and they gave me permission to release it to the community. It requires several template REPLACEMENTS, but most are minor and should not affect your forums layout. To be prudent BACKUP YOUR TEMPLATES before installing this hack.
This hack is a use at your own risk mod!
What does it do?
As part of the custom job, the client requested a way to make the upload attachments part not require a popup window. Currently, when you upload attachments to threads, you click the manage attachments button and a popup appears and you upload your attachments.
This modification will keep the uploads on the same page (no popup).
Auto uploading is also a feature. When a user browses to the file and selects it, the file is automatically uploaded so the user does not have to click the upload button. I don't know about you guys, but there has been a few times I forget to hit that stupid upload button.
Will this work for your forum?
Well, I have no idea, and honestly it really is not my concern. This should work for a new installation of a Vbulletin forum. It could be possible that you have mod'd your templates to the point where this mod may adversely affect your layout and function.
As for support, don't come begging to me if you cannot get this to work. Most people who pay for scripting never let custom work like this out to the public free of charge. Consider how much you paid for this before you complain if it doesn't work for you.
I will support this as I can, but I am very busy lately so don't hold your breath for replies.
I believe the reason vbulletin users the pop up is if the upload times out, you will not loose your thread/post. Just a note to users who are not aware of that reason. Other then that, very nice work. I would love for the upload part to be ajax based by default ^^

So then wouldn't that be a plus for the iframe, since the attachments aren't actually loading on the page, but in the frame...If the attachment failed then they won't lose the post...Right?
here are the template edits/replacements (assuming that the indicated templates are unmodified) in Template Modification System (TMS) XML format, so anyone that has TMS installed simply needs to upload this XML and the template edits are taken care of for you.
Why are people making a deal over the iframe?? Is SEO a huge concern on a private vBulletin page? =p
If someone was using an ancient browser that didn't support iFrames, well, then they probably wouldn't be able to look at the rest of my site, either.
Yeah, it isn't like your ranking is going to change at all if the upload page is in an IFRAME.
I feel the same way about Javascript. If a user does not have Javascript enabled, their experience on the web it going to be dull just about everywhere they go.
how can we get this to work with your virus scan? I got it to work with the zip file but for some reason the virus scan mod is not working. (using 3.6.8 BTW)
