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.

I have a problem.
I can send attachs very well but I can download the attachments in PM.
Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster
However if I sent a message to myself with an attachment I can download it without problems.
I'm experiencing the same as paulomt1 I just changed the attachments to not be in the database today. Be honest though I am not sure if it was or wasn't working b4. Either way could someone please help?
This is the problem that we are having (after further testing). I can view my own attachments whether i send the link or they do. And vice versa. It's almost as if when the attachments are uploaded the wrong permissions are given??
I have this installed a VB303 and i have the quickreply hack instaaled to and the Attachments in private messages hack only shows up when you go to reply on the quickreply box.. It doent show up on new pms or if you go to the real reply or the forward pm page..
Can anyone help me with this as i have looked and looked trying to find what is cauing this to happen..
Ive add 2 pics one of the quickreply that shows the Attachments and on of the rest that dont show it..
I have no problems with the sending of the attachment,that works fine.
however no attachment appears in the actuall message.
the attachment is there, if i go to manage attacments in the user cp it knows that i've got a pm with an attachment in it. but the message doesn't pick it up
i checked the code in private.php and im pretty certain its a fault in the showpm section of the code as it doesn't seem to pull the info from the database properly.
Has anyone fixed this, i really want to get this working!!!!
