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.

now that school is officially over, i can provide support for this hack. Skyline_GT, i belive you either did something wrong or another hack is interfering with this one.

I follow everything in the instruction.txt

Ok, simple question. What version of vb do I need to run this? I am currently using 2.2.8 around 4 of the code changes don't match up anywhere close to "close". So, I'm wondering if I need to upgrade to 2.3 for this to work correctly or what?

Thanks for this though, I've been looking for this forever, and I'm gonna be freakin' when I get this working.

Thanks for all your hard work Rake :-)

<cough> What happened to school being out? :-)

If you're like me, you look at computers enough at work, you're sick of looking at them at night. O well, I'd like this, but it messed up my site totally, so I gotta find out something before I try again.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, i've been coding hacks for vb3 lately. Hacks that actually work. :knockedout:
Well, it was my fault for not beta testing this hack before releasing it. I'll try installing it on a clean 2.3.0 board and see if i've missed something. But i doubt people are still interested in this, since the majority is upgrading to vBulletin3.

[ImportPassion]

I'm prolly not upgrading and I doubt the majority that have hacks they need are not upgrading either unless everyone that has ever made a hack releases them for vb3 as well.

I think you should carry this on. I think others would agree too.
