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.

But...do you have the keep attachments on preview hack or the keep attachments on reply hack installed?

I think the next step is to take this and implement it into the quick reply.

Same problem here. Apparently this won't work with those hacks installed. rake looked at my files and decided it couldn't be done with the code changes from these hacks. I'll wait until vB3 gets released and then someone will make the hack work with these hacks, I'm sure.

true it works well without the hacks installed but those hacks shouldn't really be hacks they should be standard
even yabb preview on edit as standard and preview pms as standard

its weird why it wasn't implemented into Vbulletin as a standard thing

superhack

how can i get rid of the changes from the queries that this hack has made, my forums are down now. i know someone else asked, but i couldn't understand how to actually do it. can someone help?

Had to uninstall because it didn't work with attachment viewer ot private attachments. Still a very nice hack
