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

Hi

Still working on it. Think i'll include options for usergroups and users. (can/can't upload attachs, can/can't see attachs within PM). Main part is ready.

Any suggestions? For 3.6.x only, sorrry.

Should be possible to overwrite the old hack.

User part is done. Product ready. Only the documentation is missing yet. Hate this....

Edit:
All done -> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1079188

Hi

I had the thi hack installed but as it never worked i have decided to uninstall it.
Now since doing this i am getting db errors, such as below

When i installed the hack i had to run the following queries

ALTER TABLE attachment add usedin varchar(30) not null;
ALTER TABLE attachment add itemid int not null;
ALTER TABLE pmtext add attach int not null;
ALTER TABLE attachment add index (usedin,itemid);

Now in the instructions there is no advice as to uninstalling the hack nor removing the said queries, it looks like my db error is something to do with the said queries as well.

Can anyone advise on how to undo what the queries did please?

  Database error in vBulletin 3.6.4:
   
  Invalid SQL:
   
        SELECT userid,itemid,usedin
        FROM attachment AS attachment
        WHERE attachmentid = 3920;
   
  MySQL Error  : Unknown column 'itemid' in 'field list'
  Error Number : 1054
