attachment associations

[sccr410]

How does vB check which attachment is associated with which thread? In the 'thread' table, it just has a variable to determine if there is an attachment, and in the 'attachment' table it only has attachmentid.

I am trying to modify a news system to display a link to a file attachment at the end of the post.

http://www.sandiegopegasus.com uses vB as the news system and many times there are file attachments. This would be *very* helpful!

Thanks for any help!

Let's say you have $attachmentid:

$getthreadid=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT threadid FROM post WHERE attachmentid=".intval($attachmentid));
$threadid=$getthreadid['threadid'];

The only problem is, when one attachment belongs to one or more posts (happens when you copy a thread, and a post has an attachment).

Use regular mysql_query() if it's not a vBulletin page.

So actually it was even easier than that. You don't need to do another sql query because the news program already gets the postid, which is all you need.

PHP Code:

if ($attach == 1) { 
    $displayattach = "<small><a href=http://www.sandiegopegasus.com/forum/attachment.php?postid=".$postid.">Download attachment</a>";
}
else { $displayattach = ""; }

You are welcome.

Thanks FireFly. You got me to actually think about how it works and I actually did something on my own!
