I like this hack and I like the obsolete attachments as files. Here's a slight mod to the directions so it will work.

I also put in optional code so if it was smaller than a meg it listed the size in KB and in MB if larger.

These aren't full directions. just an addon to the existing hack. you'll still need to download the original hack.

Since the instructions weren't clear, I added the first instruction on both parts of the code. Didn't work (some error), so I did it on the other code. Nothing worked. Same for the second...it has two of the same parts...

What went wrong?

I run vb 2.3.0 with attachments as files
When I try to apply the hack.. i get a blank page

The problem is this:

PHP Code:

$post[attachmentid]
$filepath="$attachpath/$post[hash].file";
if ($post[attachmentid] && is_file($filepath)) {
    $post[attachsize] = sprintf('%.2f',filesize($filepath)/1024);
} else {
    $post[attachsize] = "";
}

Ok, here goes the fix to the fix:

Where the instructions read:

Search for this:
attachment.counter

and replace it with:
attachment.counter,attachment.hash

it actually means:

Search for the second occurance of this:
attachment.counter

and replace it with:
attachment.counter,attachment.hash

And then, where it reads:

scroll down a little bit and right after:

if (!$getperms['cangetattachment']) {
$viewattachedimages=0;
}

add:

$post[attachmentid]
$filepath="$attachpath/$post[hash].file";
if ($post[attachmentid] && is_file($filepath)) {
$post[attachsize] = sprintf('%.2f',filesize($filepath)/1024);
} else {
$post[attachsize] = "";
}

it should read:

scroll down a little bit and right after:

while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts) and $counter++<$perpage) {

add:

//$post[attachmentid]
$filepath="$attachpath/$post[hash].file";
if ($post[attachmentid] && is_file($filepath)) {
$post[attachsize] = sprintf('%.2f',filesize($filepath)/1024);
} else {
$post[attachsize] = "";
}

notice that the first line of the code to be added is now commented out. it was causing a parse error in the script, thus the blank page experienced by some users which had php error reporting disabled. (there's a setting in php.ini). I really don't know what that line was supposed to do, but the code works fine now, even without it.

that's it. it works fine for me
