Attachments Per Forum...

The Instructions are in the .txt file attached

There are 3 screenshots...There is a more detailed explaination of the hack in the .txt file attached, but the concept is simple : It will allow you to set Attachments to be allowed or disallowed Per Forum

SQL Queries to Run : 1
Files to edit : 3 (admin/forum.php, root/newthread.php & root/newreply.php)

This hack has been tested @ My Forums (DarkBlazes.com)...

Bumping this thread because I wanted to ask if its possible to set the size of the attachment per forum.

Nice hack, I have no real use for it, but, it's a good idea ;D

Smoothie, I found a fix for this for the Quick reply Box if you still need it. If you have Logician's Dynamic Templates hack installed, all you need to do is this:

PHP Code:

[[($forum[forumallowattach]==1)]]
<tr>
    <td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" valign="top"><normalfont><b>Attach file:</b></normalfont><br>
    <smallfont>Maximum size: $maxattachsize bytes</smallfont></td>
    <td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" valign="top"><smallfont><input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="$maxattachsize_temp">
    <input type="file" class="bginput" name="attachment" size="$textareacols"><br>
    Valid file extensions: $attachextensions</smallfont></td>
</tr>
[[/($forum[forumallowattach]==1)]] 


If you don't, let me know and I will supply the php work-a-round.

NOTE: The code for my attachments is a little different than yours. Just use the opening and closing [[($forum[forumallowattach]==1)]] tags on yours.

Did anyone find a way to limit attachment sizes by Forum? I'd like to set a smaller global size for all forums, but increase max size for 2 private forums.
