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

Nice Hack

INSTALL

I've the problem that only the admins and mods can use this function... When a normal user want to attach some files he get the message that he hasn't enough rights!

How can i change that?
I've the Version 3.5.3.

Thanks,
Cheers!

i hate to sound like a fool but im still getting the invalid post error

i went to the right plugin and change the 1 to a thread that is very old and wont ever be seen or deleted (110)

but still i get the error also i tried other threads, but all give me the same error

wouldnt it be better to just make a new table for PMattachments

anyways, any suggestions?

Sorry for a lil. off topic but can someone use this mod and make it for the calendar instead? I've spent so many days try to make a calendar attachment and ended up wipped out my forum after 2 months built it up!

is this hack going to support usergroup permissions ?

also this hack would be better as said to use its own database or file DIR, i dont know why this is not a feature in vbulletin for members to allow sending files in private messages (as long as file sizes are limited and or there is a certain amount of space a user can have before they need to clean there storage box ?

well i think so anyway lol
