View All Attachments in Thread

This hack is simple and pretty easy to install.

What's it do?
Ya' know that little paperclip icon you see next to thread links containing attachments? Well, this hack makes that icon clickable. Clicking on it will give you the normal thread view and page navigation and all that, except you'll only see the posts with attachments in them. I find this particularly useful if you have a few threads where, say, members post their pictures. It's nice to cut through a lot of the comments and get straight to the files.


What's it involve?
7 code changes in 2 files. No template work of any sort.


Got a demo?
Surely: Demo...yay.


The attached instructions.txt file will walk you through things. Enjoy; and let me know if you find any bugs, as I haven't tested this on any board but my own yet.

In your instructions you said to replace this line of code:

$pagenav = getpagenav($totalposts,"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&perpage=$perpage");

With this:

if ($view == 'attachments') {
    $attachment_querystring = '&view=attachments';
  } else {
    $attachment_querystring = '';
  }

$pagenav = getpagenav($totalposts,"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&perpage=$perpage$attachment_querystring");

The code I found was:

$pagenav = getpagenav($totalposts,"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&perpage=$perpage&display=$display".iif(isset($highlight), "&highlight=$highlight", ""));

Here's what I did, will it work ok?

$pagenav = getpagenav($totalposts,"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&perpage=$perpage&display=$display".iif(isset($highlight), "&highlight=$highlight", "$attachment_querystring"));

no

put it after this

$pagenav = getpagenav($totalposts,"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&perpage=$perpage&$attachment_querystring&display=$display".iif(isset($highlight), "&highlight=$highlight"));

Here's what I have for that piece of code right now.

if ($view == 'attachments') {
    $attachment_querystring = '&view=attachments';
  } else {
    $attachment_querystring = '';
  }

$pagenav = getpagenav($totalposts,"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&perpage=$perpage&display=$display".iif(isset($highlight), "&highlight=$highlight", "$attachment_querystring"));

What should it actually be?

[TWTCommish]

It should be this, I think:

PHP Code:

if ($view == 'attachments') {
    $attachment_querystring = '&view=attachments';
  } else {
    $attachment_querystring = '';
  }

$pagenav = getpagenav($totalposts,"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&perpage=$perpage&display=$display$attachment_querystring".iif(isset($highlight), "&highlight=$highlight", ""));

Tarion? You agree? I just want to make sure on this. If you don't agree, can you tell me why, please?

[Boofo]

TWTCommish ,

How did you put the attachment box in the message and what is the hack for who downloaded it? And, lastly, how did you put the link in the box under the attachment? I'd like to try it, if I can.

Excellent job. Works like a charm.

[Smoothie]

Yes, installed. Marvelous!

[Boofo]

This must have been the right way to do it because it works great! thanks for all of your help and an excellent hack!
