PM Attachments 3.5

Original Hack by Rigel Kentaurus (http://www.cemzoo.com)
Original Thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91220
See the original thread for details of the problems..

Basically everything has been fixed so this works with existing installs and not just clean ones, also no error message about a non-matching release anymore.. attachments are now correctly displayed as they would be in a thread and this hack No longer inteferes with non-pm attachments.. So all the good bits left (Attachments in Private Messages, using the existing usergroup permissions) and all the bad bits taken out.

Also I'm willing to support this hack, which is why I took the decision to start a new thread rather than use the existing one so I can easier support the hack and problems with this plugin not the old buggy one. (or at least that's the theory)

Please uninstall the old plugin first, thanks.

QuickFaq
I'm getting Invalid Post specified:
That means the plugin was unable to get attachments permissions for the user. The solution is to locate a thread in your forum (one that shouldn't be deleted in a long time, it doesn't matter if it's closed). Remember it's threadid
Go to Plugin Manager and click on "private attachments - get posthash and allow attachments"

Find: $_pmt = 1;


Replace the "1" with the threadid

And who said it will work on 3.5.0 Gold?

this is something ive never understood, why not give the PM attachments its own table in the database, so it doesnt have to run off the normal attachments table

my site the attachment table is 785MBs (rard), so its big, and it would run better if it had its own database table

-----------------

also, what if u have changed to file-system attachments, will that cause a problem for this hack?

snake - thats a rather snotty answer, the thread title does say 3.5, doesnt say RCx or gold, however the version does say RC2, but so many times i have seen known coders say "there were little changes from any of the RC versions to gold, so u can assume all 3.5 hacks work on gold"

tsk tsk

I think you're wrong buddy because according to the hack info it says...

vB Version: 3.5.0 RC2

Which means it doesn't and will NOT work on 3.5.0 Gold.

Me. I have 3.5.0 Gold and it works just fine. (my attachments don't have the "attached images" text or border but I promise you it's an attachment)

Added image and zip to PM on 3.5.0 .. no problems on 3.5.0 gold

may i ask, does this work if u r using a filesystem for attachments, and not the database?
