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

Still works with 3.6 !

[S]Very good! Runs also with Gold [/S]

I was glad to early
If I click on any attachment in the PM, the Message
"Invalid Attachment specified" comes as "vBulletin Message".
The other Things on the Hack work. I can attach something to a PM,
then I can send it and even receive it, but the attachment is not
downloadable from the received PM in finally.

Another important Information:

This Hack is not compatible with the "Welcome PM" of vBulletin 3.60
If you enabled Welcome-PM, nobody can register on your Forum, all
People get a white Page. I lost about 250 new Members till I in finally
understood, that the PM-Hack not works with the Welcome-PM!

[version2]

I re-installed under 3.6 and well, it looks like it is uploading, but when viewing the PM all I get is a red X that is not clickable to view the attachement.

Any ideas?

[version2]

Some screenshots of what I see...

o_O

I did a complete reinstall. Made sure all of the sql queries were right. Everything. Ok. I will try again. I revert the templates and see if that makes a difference.

i was going to unistall this plugin, coz is not working on vb3.6.0.

but i need a help, during install is been run this query:
ALTER TABLE attachment add usedin varchar(30) not null;
ALTER TABLE attachment add itemid int not null;
ALTER TABLE pmtext add attach int not null;
ALTER TABLE attachment add index (usedin,itemid);

i deleted manually the first three fields usedin itemid attach , how about the last queue is there any problem, how can i deal with that?

[Paul M]

Open the table in phpmyadmin, find the index and delete it.

[parajsa]

ALTER TABLE attachment add index (usedin,itemid);

Hey Paul i cant find any index field in the attachment?
Maybe is something else?

[TVNettet]

can it be set so only admins can send attachments?
