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.

You don't need to. Multiple attachments is built into Vbulletin 3.0.x

Is there anyway to upgrade to vb3 after using this hack on vb2 and actually keep the attachments?

I've tried to upgrade the normal way and all attachments were lost. I also tried to import the attachments using impex and it only managed to keep one attachment per thread and the rest of the attachments were unable to be imported.

Has anyone upgraded and managed to keep their attachments after using this hack?

Thanks to anyone who can help...

Bump, anyone find a work around to upgrade from vb2 without losing the attachments?

[Keyz]

I'm interested as well.... I'd like to upgrade to vBulletin 3 after using this, and be able to keep all of the attachments. If your solution works, I will pay you a reward/fee.

Thanks!
