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.

You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
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

Strange.

After lots of reloads there is finally the box.

Now it works.
I changed nothing... :dead:

Small Bug :

German Error Discription

After a new Member is klicking on the Activationlink at E-Mail he get?s a Error Code with this Hack :

Quote:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /poltbofu/www.politikstube.de/forum/includes/class_dm_user.php(2396) : eval()'d code on line 1

After Refreshing the Window he is allready activated so this is only a cosmetically Problem. Hoping for a Update.

This only happens if you send a automatically PM to new Users.

It looks like PlugIn : private attachments - update attachment info causes this Error.

I uninstalled this Hack from yesterday again. if i setup this hack my users cannot register, because it's like the older incompatible with the Welcome-PM!

I hope on a bugfix, because its a good Hack and I would like to use it
