Admin Functions

String -> MD5 Encrypted String function added. To upgrade just reupload convert.php to your admin directory.

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

2 bugs fixed. To upgrade just reupload the files.

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

This is a series of four adminstration scripts covering two functions. They are:
Attachment Management
--Find and view attachments with ease, remove with two clicks
--Remove multiple attachments by forum, extension, and other options
Conversion/Encryption Functions
--Converts to and from Unix Timestamp format, which is used by vBulletin in the database
--Encrypt a text string with md5 - useful for comparing a string to an encrypted password in the database

Screenshots

For version: 2.0.3 and above

Files needed: rematt.php, browseatt.php, convert.php, viewatt.php

Files to edit: admin/index.php

Instructions are in the zip file - look for att.txt

DO NOT PM or email me about this hack - it will be ignored!

I will not support you if you edit these files.

You may not redistribute these scripts, edited or unedited, without my prior permission.

Disclaimer: I disclaim all responsibility for your use of this hack. It has been extensively tested but still may screw something up. It is recommended that if you are going to be deleting a lot of attachments you have a recent database backup on hand.

Hi Kevin...

There's a bug in convert.php (at line 22):

PHP Code:

if ($action == "md5");
  $md5string = md5($string);
  echo "<b>$string</b> encrypts as <b>$md5string</b>";
  $action = "intro";
} 


Should be:

PHP Code:

if ($action == "md5") {
  $md5string = md5($string);
  echo "<b>$string</b> encrypts as <b>$md5string</b>";
  $action = "intro";
} 


For the rest it works great on vB 2.2.1 Kevin.

I loved the attachments management functions, but I have a request Kevin, isn't it possible to show the attachment size? Can't see it anywhere...it is helpful to see it in order to decide if it should be removed or not.

Anyway: GREAT JOB! (as usual)

I agree, this would make the hack truly perfect

Can anyone tell me how to get the convert date/time line in Import & maintenance to drop down a line.

See pic attached for a better idea.

Just edit admin/index.php and search for Update Counters and add after that but before convert date/time a "brb"

GREAT HACK!

I've never messed with my board and this thing worked flawlessly the first time! I installed it and it worked like a breeze.

Only one thing (which has probably already been posted, I didn't look) which is a minor cosmetic item:

In the index page mod for 2.20 the existing line above it does not have a <br>, so using similar code as the new lines added, add a <br> in the existing last line like this:

makenavoption("Update Counters","misc.php?action=chooser","<br>");

[The Realist]

Found the problem:
makenavoption("Update Counters","misc.php?action=chooser","<br>");

"<br>") << This was missing!

Thanks,

Brian

Works like a champ......took my attachment DB from 28.5 megs to 19.2 megs still need to come down a lot more. I tried the convert to file but its got a parse error in it.

Look a post #50. You should always read the thread when installing hacks.
