PM Attachments 3.5

Original Hack by Rigel Kentaurus (http://www.cemzoo.com)
Original Thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91220
See the original thread for details of the problems..

Basically everything has been fixed so this works with existing installs and not just clean ones, also no error message about a non-matching release anymore.. attachments are now correctly displayed as they would be in a thread and this hack No longer inteferes with non-pm attachments.. So all the good bits left (Attachments in Private Messages, using the existing usergroup permissions) and all the bad bits taken out.

Also I'm willing to support this hack, which is why I took the decision to start a new thread rather than use the existing one so I can easier support the hack and problems with this plugin not the old buggy one. (or at least that's the theory)

Please uninstall the old plugin first, thanks.

QuickFaq
I'm getting Invalid Post specified:
That means the plugin was unable to get attachments permissions for the user. The solution is to locate a thread in your forum (one that shouldn't be deleted in a long time, it doesn't matter if it's closed). Remember it's threadid
Go to Plugin Manager and click on "private attachments - get posthash and allow attachments"

Find: $_pmt = 1;


Replace the "1" with the threadid

what I can modify for giving to the permissions to all the users even if in the forum the users simple they cannot enclose?

Yes I would like to see this hack as a product or plugin, please.

A little more complex.. allow the usergroups to have attachments, but in the forum permissions manager you need to make sure each forum doesn't allow attachments, that way pm's can still have attachments while the forums do not..

Looking good here! Will keep an eye on it.

are you running RC2?

I wanted to re-install this but have been paranoid since the last one wiped out 6 months worth of attachments. I installed this one, hopefully no problems. I'm still paranoid though and worried. haha! But I did make a backup this time.

Whenever I send an attachment in a PM, nothing shows up in the message the user gets. I have attachments allowed on the forum, so that can't be why. If I copy and paste the attachment link after I upload it it works but it never shows up in the message. Hope that makes sense.
