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.

rake, did you get the pm?

Just change the SQL calls that reference

WHERE attachmentid=67,68

to

WHERE attachmentid IN (67,68)

and it will work for everyone.

[Boofo]

You mean like this?

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM attachment WHERE attachmentid IN ($postinfo[attachmentid])");

I never thought of that! I can lose the code for splitting the attachmentid field! Thanks Freddie!

rake, I recommend making two files: one for a clean install and another for upgrade. That'll save a lot of confusion.

Attachment viewer integration? =)

still, one question, what exactly does 'comment out' mean? </n00bish>


edit3: and in the 1.2 upgrade you say to find

PHP Code:

$postinfo[filename] .= "<a href=\"attachment.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&attachmentid=$attach[attachmentid]\" target=\"_blank\">$name</a> ";
    }
    $postinfo[filename] = htmlspecialchars($attachmentinfo['filename']); 


and i have that any where...x.X

PHP Code:

$postinfo[filename] = htmlspecialchars($attachmentinfo['filename']); 


is all i have >.>. so should I just replace

PHP Code:

$postinfo[filename] = htmlspecialchars($attachmentinfo['filename']); 


with

PHP Code:

$postinfo[filename] .= "<a href=\"attachment.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&attachmentid=$attach[attachmentid]\" target=\"_blank\">$name</a> ";
    }
    $postinfo[filename] = htmlspecialchars($attachmentinfo['filename']); 


??

i have skipped that step for now :bunny:

[rake]

That should have been replaced in the original instructions. It's the part that handles the "Keep Current Attachment ( attachment name here )" in editpost.

worked perfectly

now, is there a way to delete only one out of the rest?

also when i edit a post and try to add attachments, it will only let me add one. is that suppose to do that?
