Hey,

VERSION 3.01

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:

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.

There is a way I could do it, I will consider it, however it will only work on the new attachments because it will require another field on the attacment database of the location, because at the moment, as far as I am aware, there is no entry for the forum location.

Take a look at my forumdisplay stats hack. I pull out the attachments for each forum with the query in there.

[DWard]

I will give it some thought, just keep looking

[Boofo]

Isn't that all you are wanting to do, list them on a per forum basis?

[DWard]

Aurous wants me to display attachments from different forums, so they want to be able to select the forum from the list and display the attachments in that forum

That should be easy to adjust the query in my hack for.

Do you mean blocking out certain usergroups of seeing the list... yes.
Also, when you try to view an attachment, the standard usergroup permissions take hold.

It's EXTREMELY slow on a dedicated Dual Xeon.... :ermm:
Maybe it's because we have 180.000 attachments...
