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.

Note... if the author updates his hack this would need to be updated also.
In Mindtrix hack, look for:
Code:
$trix = $DB_site->query("SELECT attachmentid, dateline, filename FROM attachment WHERE dateline < " . TIME() ." ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT 5");
change it to:
Code:
$trix = $DB_site->query("SELECT attachmentid, dateline, filename FROM attachment WHERE dateline < " . TIME() ." AND private=0 ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT 5");
sendmail has nothing to do with this hack, what error are you getting?
Some people reported me before that the attachments weren't showing in the pm, I haven't traced why yet but someone also said that enabling thumbnails in the acp made them visible (I still haven't been able to reproduce it).
When you preview a message, the attachment is still there but it doesn't show in the attachments box until you open it up and do a blank upload. Then it lists like it should. Can I get my "fix" for this?

I would need more details for this one. When I send a PM, preview it, if I click in the manage attachments button then the pop-up already has the previously attached file. Or do you mean in the pm original window and not the pop-up?

Ok, I guess I got it a little confused. I mean right above the Manage Attchaments button in the Additional options box underneath the message. It won't show the attachment in a preview until you open up the manage attachments box and close it.
