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.

ufff... this hack was quite close to wipe my Vb forum!!! man.. I JUST LOVE BACKUPS!!!! (tried on 2.3.4 but no go)

NO reply necessary I figured it out.

I need to change the color of the text when the error message says "Your images are too big, etc"

Where do I do this?

I looked in the files that I downloaded and where I see this line it doesn't say anything about colors, etc.

I have to change just the text color on these error messages, because if I change it in the overall template that would really FUBAR the whole deal.
If you need to see what I mean, just let me know. Thanks for the help.

I am running 2.3.3

I found the answer by trial and error on the problem before this. I have been getting this error message after someone tries to upload an image that is too big:

Warning : fopen(/tmp/php3mvoUh): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxx/public_html/forum/newattachment.php on line 154

Warning : fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/xxx/public_html/forum/newattachment.php on line 155

Warning : fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/xxx/public_html/forum/newattachment.php on line 156

Those lines are:

$filenum = fopen($attachment,"rb");-----> line 154
$filestuff = fread($filenum,$filesize);------->line 155
fclose($filenum);-------->156

Also am I the only one who has entire posts deleted if someone tries to edit a post with an image in it? I am running 2.3.3

Thanks for the help.

I see that this thread was started a long time ago and it's been around awhile. However, Rake, how hard would it be to make uploaded images into thumbnails like vb3 if there are more than 1 image attached?

Has anyone but me had the problem of when a post is made and the author goes back to edit it, the whole thing disappears?

I am unable to upgrade due to some custom hacks and would really, really like to get this fixed.

Anyone?

Thanks

Can this hack work on 2.2.6?

[pdatoon]

It seems that this hack is not very stable. Anyone got it working fine on their board?

The instructions.txt is highly confusing.

Why not do a re-write that just has the instructions rather than 1.1 / 1.2 / 1.3... it's not clear if each one changes the other set of instructions of what you should do 1st

[YoricksRequiem]

The instructions are very confusing......and very poorly written....can somebody clear them up for us?

[gilbert]

how do i get this to work with vb3.03?
