[VB3 RC3] Attachments in private messages

Unsupported. VB3.5 version is here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91220

Tested on 3.0.3

This hack enables you to send attachments in a private message. This feature was really useful to me in vb2 and I kind of missed it on vb3 so I rehacked it myself.

When a user writes a private message they will be given the option to add an attachment, the same as when writing a post. It uses the same rules you have defined for a convencional attachment including file types, quotas, etc. It is only an extension for attachments to be used in private messages.

As always it is advised to backup your files before hacking in case you want to go back, this is some big hack including modification of multiple files, some templates and adding two extra columns in the database tables.

Instructions are provided in the txt, and some screenshots on where the attachment option appears.

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission
Some portions of the code are (c) Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Edit by MarcoH64:
Because of multiple requests to make this hack work on vB3.0.7 i created upgrade instructions. These upgrade instructions can be followed after the original instructions (the 3.0.3 version). The original coder can not be held responsible for my modification.

According to the the installation instructions (i hope you used the 3.0.3 version), you should made some modifications to your attachment.php file. Please check if those edits are done correct, pay special attention to the second and the third modification in that file. Or one of the modifications to newattachment.php could be wrong.

I have complted the hack up to executing the query. When i try to run it get this error. Also I have no prefix for my tables.

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1064
error desc: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ';
ALTER TABLE pmtext add attach int not null;
ALTER TABLE attachment add index' at line 1

PHP Version: 4.3.10
mySQL version: 4.1.10a-standard
vBulletin Version: 3.07

Any help would be great.

If you are running the queries from your AdminCP, you can only run 1 statement at a time. A statement is ended by a semicolon ( ; ).

Execute 1 statement at a time.
