Im working on a new hack, take a look.

[Slynderdale]

I took a look at the attachments as files hack by ppn, it wont be to intergrate the multiple attachment hack with it, Ill release both versions of the hack when there done, one for normal database attachments and attachments as files.

Its almost done, the hack is gonna consist of two hacks, the main hack "The Multiple Attachment Hack" and a "Attachment Description" hack, both can be toggled on and off in the Attachment admin options, with the attachment description hack, when you post an attachment you can give a brief description of it that will appear under the attachment (or any wheres in the attachment template you want).

Will this be on a per forum basis, or globally? Allow multiple attachments that is.

Hmmm, thats a good idea, at the moment its global but now that i think about it, it might be better as per forum basis, you can set if the forum allows multiple attachments, how many, the size and the size boolean, like if you want the size restriction for all the files seperetly or all together.


Also attached below is a screenshot of the current attachment templates.

Heres a screenshot and the example of attachment descriptions.

Heres another screenshot and the example of attachment descriptions but when the attachments are images.

Files done:
showthread.php
newreply.php
attachment.php
admin/functions.php

Templates: 90% done

Files left:
editpost.php
newthread.php
admin/thread.php

It should be ready for beta testing any day now.

Looking really good.

Now this hack will work if I have the forum moderated correct?

Hey Slynderdale, not that this belongs here but I was wondering about the profile hack. Thats the hack I would love to see. Many folks have been waiting 6 months in hopes to get that hack.

And you'll wait another 6 months until you see that it won't get released.

Implementing a multiple attachment hacks should require no extra queries (just modification to existent ones) if it's coded well.
