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.

OK, any modifications you would like for the next version, please mention below. There are a few bugs in the code, but very few as far as I am aware. There will be an admin control panel area for the next version, which will give you more flexibility.

Cheers,
Dan.

Hey DWard. Your script would be PERFECT for those looking for a vbulletin gallery. It just needs two little features (one of which I cant do). The ability to just list certain users photos with thumbnails. With this feature, your program would have "personal galleries".

The second would be maybe an optional skin which has like 5 thumbnails horizontally by 5 vertically and lists info below. Would be great if you could try on the sort feature, as listing it in "gallery style" is something I might be able to do.

Theres some things I would need to do.

I would need to give users the ability to upload images to the gallery, which may be difficult but ive not looked. Then I will need to be able to list all users of the forum so you can click on one and see the pictures.

I can see it working, but theres a few things I will need to learn about before I can do it. But if I can do it, that would be the first ever vB photo album, as most of the others just have compatability with vb.

Is there a way to limit access to the mod itself by usergroup? If for example you only wanted paid subscription members to have access since they'll obviously consume more bandwidth with the easier access of files. I don't have time to read word for word all 13 pages of posts, but saw "file storage" mentioned a few times. I use this, so would I still be able to use this mod? Thank you!

[DWard]

Watch out for the new version out soon. I will try to include an admin panel for the next version.

I hesitate to add this because I'm very happy with it all in all. I personally use it a lot and I know people coming to my site do as well. Before this 'hack' I made lists in the admincp and copied the source, edited it, added links and ended up with a static html file I linked to to show people what attachments there are. So - this has been very nice for me.

Using it a lot, I find the link to 'Parent Thread' in the listing would be much more convenient if it was a link to the actual post the attachment is in rather than to the thread. Some of the threads in my forums are rather long so finding the post with the attachment can take a minute or so of going through several pages or more.

Oh - and for the admin to be able to 'omit' specific forums from the listing.
