Files List v3.01

Hey,

VERSION 3.01
[25/05/2004]

-----------------------------------------------

This Hack is released under an EverythingvB.com FullAttribution-LimitedDerivs-LimitedTranslation License
-----------------------------------------------

This new hack gives you the function of grouping all your attachments in one single list, divided into pages and with the option of viewing files by category, eg Video Clips, Archives and Excecutables etc.

All installation instructions are provided in the install file, and modification details are in the php file included in the zip. All images used for some files are also attached.

Any problems, queries or errors, please report here or PM me so I can sort them out as soon as possible, to ensure this hack is to your standards.

Current key functions:

• Lists all attachments and spans over pages. You can specifiy the amount of attachments per page.
• Specify usergroups who you do not wish to view the attachments.
• Set out the same as attachments in posts, with icon, size and views.
• Categories, so you can quickly view one type of file.
• Display username.
• Sort by username or filename.
• If enabled, images category shows thumbnails.
• Table row colours altered to make it easier to read username.
• Shows forum name and a link to the parent thread.
• Ability to sort by forum name.
• Set the amount of files to view per page.

An example of the hack can be found here:
http://www.collegepranks.co.uk/forums/fileslist.php

Note to current users about upgrading:

• Replace your fileslist.php file with the new one.
• Replace the attachment_view and attachment_view_bits with the ones in the install file.

Excellent hack. I've been doing a monthly list and dumping the html output to a file, doing a bunch of tailoring so people could see what attachments there are:
http://Elsmar.com/level2/Attachments-List.html

So - I really, really appreciate this hack. Great job. The only thing I would really like to see is a link to the post the attachment is in.

I belive all that requires is a

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/showpost.php?p=$attach[postid]">View Post</a>

It should go in the attachment_view_bits template somehwere. :P

[Smitty]

That works to link to the post - Thanks! I appreciate it!

That would be great! Again, great job. This is really nice!

[Erwin]

This is a very good idea. Well done.

[DWard]

I am going to generate a drop list for the amount of files per page, what are you looking for?

[Boofo]

DWard, you might want to see if you can find a way to use permissions in this. I had to take it down because attachments from private forums and PMs were showing up. Just a suggestion.
