vb3 Attachments - Including Multiple Attachments Option

Woo! Finally! I've been working on this for 10 straight hours now.

It's a replica of the vbulletin 3 attachment feature, which supports multiple uploads. We can't have vbulletin 3 yet, but at least we can copy it.


Files to edit: 5
Queries to run: 5
New Templates: 3

Just be sure to backup before trying anything.
You can see it live at my forums. Log in as test/test, if you want to see it in action.

And don't forget to click the Install button if you like the hack.



=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-
UPDATE - Please re-download the file. Upgrading instructions are included in instructions.php. And sorry for the wait. I had to bribe my parents with 15 math exercises to let me use the computer. :knockedout:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
SECOND UPDATE - Sorry for the previous non-functioning version, everyone. I did those modifications really late at night and some errors slipped in. This update fixes permission errors, allows you to specify a maximum number of attachments, fixes 65535 bytes error and includes repairing instructions for editpost.php
I have tested it on a clean 230 test board and it worked fine.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
THIRD REVISION - This update fixes the 3 largest errors reported so far:
1. The view image atachments option now works
2. Attaching more than one file with a new thread now works
3. Deleting a post with attachments now works
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

To everyone who used attachment.php from the old zip: Please replace it with your original one. attachment.php was added in the zip by mistake.

rake, i hope you continue work on this to weed out any more bugs ( should there be ).

It would be a very useful hack for me and many fellow members who do not plan to go the vb3 way anytime soon.

ya
it seems he is not going to fix the error.

i would like to know does this work with the Attachments as files hack and the Add Attachment on Edit Post hack ?? plz i would like to know because i would really like to install this hack for myself

[cindyd]

I am just now starting to install this hack, and the last query

ALTER TABLE `attachment` ADD INDEX ( `postid` );


is giving me this error:

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.3.0: Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE `attachment` ADD INDEX ( `postid` ); mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '; ' at line 1 mysql error number: 1064

Turns out the query through the Admin CP was being picky.

I just finished installing and it's working great! Very nice hack.

*clicks install

I'm running into a problem. As an Admin I can see the attachment images as images, but if I log in as a "registered member" then the attachment shows as a download.

How can I change this? The whole point of doing this was so the images would appear in the posts. I can't make everyone an Admin.

If you click on the link for the attachment, it takes you to an error message:

No attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster

Are there some permissions or something I have to change?

If you want to look for yourself, just click on my link.

Please help, I really need this to be working.

I am running 2.30 with some hacks installed, but none of the attachments hacks, except this one.

I also noticed when using IE (I normally use Opera) that the link to Manage Attachments doesn't do anything.

I'm not really sure about this one. It's been a couple of months since i developed the hack, and i've been using vb3 exclusively since then. Perhaps another member could answer that.

There's an error in the template. You're missing an ampersand (&) between the sessionhash and attachmentid.

It probably has to do with the security settings in ie. The code used for the pop-up is taken from vb3.

Rake: do you think you might be able to inquire about this? You did offer support on this hack.

I have taken care of the other 2 problems.
