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.

Did you try a fresh Install or only a Upgrade ? I have deinstalled the 3.5 Hack before installed yours.

I think you have coded a Permission Error. There was no Recaching at Usergroups if i entered them after Installing.

Lionel · #43 09-21-2006, 11:44 AM

Clear instructions. Work very well on 3.60. Thank you.

Thanks anyway!!

It works for me with SuperPM installed, too. BTW., do you have really 3.6.x of vBulletin installed, because SuperPM (at the moment, hehe) is not working with vBulletin 3.6.x?

Regards, Stoebi

redlabour · #45 09-21-2006, 12:01 PM

Tested complete Installation again at 3.6.1 - no Attachments at all. Standard Style. No Super-PM.

Visiting the Usergroups does not bring the Bitfield Screen up.

Hoffi · #46 09-21-2006, 03:38 PM

Works like a charm. Thanks Stoebi.

red, just read the instructions and do the steps detailed.

Hi

Documentation updated for users which installed private attachments for 3.5.0 RC before:

Note!

For users have installed 3.5.0 RC2 version. Before import, delete the following plugins:
AdminCP -> Plugins & Produkte -> Plugin Manager

1. private attachments - can view the attachment attachment_start
2. private attachments - get & show attachments postbit_display_start
3. private attachments - get posthash and allow attachments private_newpm_start
4. private attachments - update attachment info private_insertpm_complete

Regards, Stoebi
