Attachments in private messages · **Released**: 06-27-2005

Last tested in 3.5.0 beta 4
Beta hack

With this hack you can send attachments inside private messages.
Sometimes you may want to send an image or file to another user, but
you just don't want to disclose your email or make the file public,
with this hack you can attach it to the private message.

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.

I didn't think this could be done by plugins alone, but it was, although some sections were really tricky.

Please read the faq in the post below. Also please reply if you tested it and it worked for you

much appreciated

v1.0.0
first release

v1.0.1
Fixed an elusive bug that deleted all your non-pm attachments.
Now in "valid file extensions" everything is correctly shown
Added vbulletin version check so you can't install the plugin in an unsupported version

In my sent items, the message has a paperclip but there is no attachment showing when viewing the message.

Same here, no attachement showing when viewing the message.

I needed this mod desperately. Any way through this problem ?

Kentaurus, I know you are very busy, but I too (as already stated) would love to be able to use this mod on my forum, but am having the same problem.

I know it is hard fixing a bug you can't re-create, but any assistance would be apprecaited.

Def doesnt work for RC1 (atleast for me)

Boofo · #36 07-28-2005, 04:35 AM

Ok, I've narrowed it down a little further.

The paperclip shows when listing private messages. It does NOT show the attachment in the sent messages and the person who the attachment was sent to does NOT get an attachment in their pm. But when viewing the attachments listing in the Admin CP, the attachment is there.

Hope this helps in tracking it down.

bump... would be nice to get this updated

FleaBag · #38 07-31-2005, 12:10 PM

Kentaurus... Any idea if it'll work with RC1 with the current install info. Normally I'd go ahead and install but I don't like the look of the bug that deleted all attachments lol!

This doesnt work with RC1. Comes up with error stating needs Beta4 and found RC1. Will not allow access to pms. Hopefully this hack will be updated.

Yeap, I lost this one as well when I upgraded to RC1. Would love to get it back as soon as you figure it out. Liz

Bypassing the error is easy. It just doesn't work as it should yet.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
