Moderators Functions - [AJAX] Edit Attachment Filenames

Edit Attachment Filenames 3.0

Click here to Nominate this Mod for Mod the Month

About this hack:
This hack is a pretty useful hack. It lets you edit filenames of attachments. Only users with 'canmoderateattachments' permissions on the forum that the attachment it posted by will be allowed to edit the filenames.

You access the edit by double clicking right near the filename of an attachment. It will bring up an edit box similar to the edit thread title vb feature. You will get an option to save or cancel the edit.

Now that you can see a list of all attachments in one thread, you would want to name some attachments differently so they can be identified with out looking at the post.

The filename extension cannot be edited.

Installation information on hack:

• Files edited: 0
• Templates edited: 2
• Files to upload via FTP: 1
• Time to install: 1 minute max

Updates:

Version 3.0 (05/11/08):

• First release of this hack for vb 3.7.

Please post your comments or suggestions for this hack. I read ALL posts.

MAKE SURE YOU CLICK INSTALL!
You will get an email when a new version is released.

Hm, i see no differents, if I use $vbphrase[save] instead save etc.

I would need to test on your site to figure out what is wrong.

[maxicep]

if new attachment filename value including latin characters ( like "ş, ğ, İ" ) it is looking

test-changed %u015F.rar

How can i use a replacement about Turkish some characters to English character

Like

ş > s
ğ > g
İ > i

Thanks
