[VB3 RC3] Attachments in private messages · **Released**: 01-06-2004

Unsupported. VB3.5 version is here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91220

Tested on 3.0.3

This hack enables you to send attachments in a private message. This feature was really useful to me in vb2 and I kind of missed it on vb3 so I rehacked it myself.

When a user writes a private message they will be given the option to add an attachment, the same as when writing a post. It uses the same rules you have defined for a convencional attachment including file types, quotas, etc. It is only an extension for attachments to be used in private messages.

As always it is advised to backup your files before hacking in case you want to go back, this is some big hack including modification of multiple files, some templates and adding two extra columns in the database tables.

Instructions are provided in the txt, and some screenshots on where the attachment option appears.

Info for hackers:
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.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission
Some portions of the code are (c) Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Edit by MarcoH64:
Because of multiple requests to make this hack work on vB3.0.7 i created upgrade instructions. These upgrade instructions can be followed after the original instructions (the 3.0.3 version). The original coder can not be held responsible for my modification.

I'm still having problems with vb 3 gold.... permissions errors when the recipient views an attachment

Simply, this hack doesn't work in gold for me; it?s the only hack i have instaled in v.3 RC4

There are some differences in scripts from releases ...

I've got it working with attachments as files just fine. What version of vb3 did you have it not working that way?

luroca · #**156** 04-07-2004, 03:34 PM

It works fine with attachments as files in RC4.
In Gold, all is apparently ok but in the privates there are no files

Well, I talked to Kentaurus and he said he is using Gold and this hack works fine for him.

This is very strange... how can the hack work fine in Gold when the code is totally different? I installed the hack three different times, and there's been major modifications in the code, and I'm still getting permissions errors when the recipient tries to view the attachments.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
