Add-On Releases - Module CMPS:Recent Attachments

Module CMPS Recent Attachments

Idea was based on original hack by MindTrix

A request from a member for showing document such as text and zip files prompted me to add an additional zip file to this hack. Please be sure you download the correct file. The CMPS_recent_attachment_images.zip is for showing pictures only. The CMPS_newattachments_files.zip will display both but will only output the extension image with the file name and info (see Screenshot below).

What it does:

It will query attachments from the database for the latest 4 images or files posted, and output it to the module created on your home page. I believe I have seen this requested both here and at vBadvanced.
Will add 1 query to the home page.

Files and Templates added:

CMPS_recent_attachment_images.zip
recentattachment.php
adv_portal_newattachments

CMPS_newattachments_files.zip
newattachment.php
adv_portal_recentattachments

Tested on vb3.6.4

Installation:

1. Extract the module file from the zip to your desktop.

2. Go to your admincp->vBa CMPS->Download/Upload Module.

3. Browse to where you put the module file click submit.

4. Make sure you set all options and permisions for the module.

5. Be sure that you enable the module in your default home page or it will not show.


Change log:

version 1.00 - First release. Added additional module for files and docs.
version 1.01 - Added ability to view the members post of the image or file attachment in a new window from CMPS module.
Added update for CMPS 3.0 module

Ok, I think now it's confirmed that this Mod. works only if thumbnails are on. So I have to uninstall.

I suspect that this is why it never worked for me. Uninstalled too.

Can i get this to work on my forumhome page, instead of vbadvanced?

Will this work on VBA v3.0 RC1?

Cant get this to work on my new install of RC1 and vb368.The attachments dont show up.Permissions are enabled and modules are active on the homepage.In the edit modules page in the admincp,there's no options to choose where to pull the latest attachments are from unlike the other default modules.Could this be the fault?

I had an error with the template in the module. I fixed it just redownload the zip.

Great mod -- I hope to install it.

At VBA, some members were claiming this actually used the full-size versions of images scaled down on the homepage.. So if it was 300K and the thumb was 5K, it would use the 300K version (shrunk with html image attributes). Is there any truth to that? If so, it would bloat the homepage significantly. I have thumbnails turned on for my forum.

Second, is there any functionality (even if changing code) to block attachments from specific forums (such as mod forums)?

Thanks
