Add-On Releases - Required Attachment

This add-on allows you to require an attachment with a specific extension for every forum.

I used it for a site with an picture gallery where every new pictures also needed a thread. To prevent users from posting empty thread, i write this add-on.

It's very easy to install and doesn't need any template changes.

Installation information on add-on:
Files edited: 0
Templates edited: 0
Files to upload: 2
Time to install: 5 minutes max

Please note you'll need to add a record for every forum you wish to require attachments in. The parent/child structure doesn't work.

This add-on has been linked to the attachment section of the forum so you can only select valid extensions.

Doesnt work on 3.8.4. Can someone update hack to work on 3.8 please.

Ok..apparently the database error occurs only if you have put a prefix before your database like vb_forumrequiredattachment.

Otherwise it is working fine with JulianD's plugin mod on vB 3.8.4. Without JulianD's mod it starts demanding attachments in all the forums even the ones which have not been selected.

Thanks so much for this. Installed.
