That would be pretty sweet if you posted it.

I did see one site where a guy was trying to sell it for $100. But that's a bit ridiculous. I might pay $20 but not $100.

Here's that site:

$100?! thats a rip off... you can buy another damn vbulletin board and still have money left over! tell you the truth making this hack isn't that hard .. hell, i could do it .. problem is i don't have a lot of time at the moment.

Chen made a attachment hack for private messages, he's probably the only one that could do it since it will require some 1337 skills

.. i doubt it'll be implemented into vb3 anytime soon.

it pisses me off to no extent that this hack has been requested by so many people and vb team have NOT added it, go to vbulletin.com and search for attachments and you'll see so many requests for it it's unreal. i still can't get over that threaded mode BS ... 5 people request a stupid threaded mode feature and it gets added... yet something as useful as multiple attachment doesn't get added despite the hundreds of request for it. they are only intrested in adding stupid things like a quick reply box with a million javascripts.

.. don't get me started, i'd better stfu

Why is having multiple attachments in a post such a necessity? That's exactly why it wasn't added by the vb team.

most people like to make one post with 2 - 3 pictures and not having to post 3 times in a row to achieve that .. that is why, as you can see it is necessary for MANY vbulletin admins.

i like when my member upload pictures, but i do not like when they have to make 5 posts with 5 pictures.........

Exactly. Some people have picture forums, art gallerys ect.. ect.. ect.. Why post 10 posts with 1 attachment each when you can do it all at once in one simple post.

lol.. I feel ya.. I like the way vB runs and how fast it is but I'm almost debating on why I ever switched from phpBB. phpBB was almost as good and had alot of features my users requested that vB doesn't and it was FREE! All I care about is making my members happy.

*sigh* still no sign of vB3 and this hack is still much needed and requested. Any help would be appreciative. Hell, I'd be willing to fork over a few $$.. Just not $100!

no offence but you can't be more wrong.. Multi-attachment hack's algorithm looks pretty easy: Add a new field to attachments table and save postid there. So you'll be able to add any number of attachment in 1 post. However it's not that easy to make this integration in vb. There are tens of sections in many parts of vb to be changed dramatically. All vb code has been designed so that there is only 1 attachment per post so when you implement your new algorithm you need to deal with all existing functions and change them too, let alone attachment related parts like attachment moderation etc..

Even if somebody with a huge vb knowledge takes time and code all these modifications, it would be really hard to insall the hack as it would require many alterations in the code and it would be buggy for months until many people in different server hostings would test it and correct the bugs.

This is why this hack has not been done yet (despite many requests) and this is why AFAIK there is only one version and it's commercial. IMO it's very fair that the author of the code is charging for the script because I know very well how time consuming the hack would be. But I know even the commercial version has some bugs (which is quite normal because of the nature of this hack) and therefore I wouldn't install any MA hack (free or commercial) to my board unless I myself worked on it for a long time or Jelsoft includes it to vb by default.. However I read a devs comment somewhere and they say they have no intentions of adding this feature to VB3. So don't expect it be added in later releases of vb3 either as it requires a structure change as I mentioned.. Sorry for you if you waiting for it..
