Lock attachments until date/time has been reached · **Released**: 04-18-2006

Just created this small plugin, which will lock the display of attachments in posts until a defined date/time has been reached. There's nothin special about it, but I wanted to share it, maybe someone looked for something like this.

Usage: Just enter the string

Code:

{lockattachment:19042006:2000}

in the post with the attachment and the attachment of that post will not be viewable/downloadable before April, 19th 2006 at 8 o'clock pm.

One more example:

Code:

{lockattachment:20052007:1330}

will be May, 20th 2007, 13:30

German and English version attached.

Thanks for making this. I could use this, if it could be set per usergroup OR...even better, PER USER

I'm thinking of enhancing the plugin with other options like locking attachments for usergroups/users, too

If you've got more suggestions, feel free to post them.

How easy would it be for you to implimenet this idea in a new mod to automatically close a forum thread on a particular date and time?

Nice one. Installed it and worked like a charm ...

Nice hack, it would be cool to have what Kihon kata said, it would also be cool if you could keep a certain thread closed(not veiwable except the TITLE of the post ya know?) until "X" date and "X" time, I could use somethin with all those features a lot!

this works by specific attachment in an speficic post?
or affects all the attachments in the forum?

EDIT: Got it!! Great plugin!!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
