vb3 Attachments - Including Multiple Attachments Option

Woo! Finally! I've been working on this for 10 straight hours now.

It's a replica of the vbulletin 3 attachment feature, which supports multiple uploads. We can't have vbulletin 3 yet, but at least we can copy it.


Files to edit: 5
Queries to run: 5
New Templates: 3

Just be sure to backup before trying anything.
You can see it live at my forums. Log in as test/test, if you want to see it in action.

And don't forget to click the Install button if you like the hack.

UPDATE - Please re-download the file. Upgrading instructions are included in instructions.php. And sorry for the wait. I had to bribe my parents with 15 math exercises to let me use the computer. :knockedout:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
SECOND UPDATE - Sorry for the previous non-functioning version, everyone. I did those modifications really late at night and some errors slipped in. This update fixes permission errors, allows you to specify a maximum number of attachments, fixes 65535 bytes error and includes repairing instructions for editpost.php
I have tested it on a clean 230 test board and it worked fine.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
THIRD REVISION - This update fixes the 3 largest errors reported so far:
1. The view image atachments option now works
2. Attaching more than one file with a new thread now works
3. Deleting a post with attachments now works
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

To everyone who used attachment.php from the old zip: Please replace it with your original one. attachment.php was added in the zip by mistake.

I installed the hack Attachments as Files.
Is this hack compatible now with my forum ?

I've made all the changes.. everything looks good so far and seems to be in working order. I have to head back to work. I'll test more extensively when I get home in about 4 hours.

Thanks again for this wonderful hack Rake.

Currently - no. But i'm looking into that. Also, i visit softnews from time to time. Great job on that. If you are who i think you are, Courage, i think i may know you.

rake.. I saw an rnc.ro ip on my logs

Is that's you ?

[350Chevy]

Hmm.. Still getting the db errors when posting a reply with attachments..

Delete posts with multiple attachments and posting a new thread with multiple attachments work now though. Viewing multiple attachments also work now.

Only prob I see on my end is posting an attachment or attachments in a reply.

unless someone else is using rnc, yes, that's me.


350Chevy: That has to be something on your end, since neither me or anyone else has been experiencing that.

I have just found another problem - only I can post attachments?? all my other members are unable to? any ideas?

[Austin Dea]

Mine works fine, must've been something you did.

Is there a way to integrate this into Chen's Attachment Viewer? The code that would need to be changed is the 3rd step of the attachment.php changes.
