Attachment Viewer

This is a nice little hack I've been meaning to release for quite some time, but for some reason I waited for v2.2.0.
For a demo of this just view an attached image on this forum (I'll attach an image in the next post).

Anyway, this is very easy to install. Only one template to edit and two files to change, it doesn't get any easier!

Just download the installer (attached to this post), upload to your admin folder, and run in your browser.
Again thanks Bane for the installer, and thanks JamesUS for that little copyright notice.

Have fun! :china:

I have a problem for some reason the varible $newpagelink is not being parsed through onto the postbit_attachment

i have this in my admin/functions.php
$newpagelink='&fullpage=1';

and in my template postbit_attachment i have the following code

<p><normalfont><img src="{imagesfolder}/attach/$post[attachmentextension].gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="">Attachment: <a href="attachment.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$post[postid]$newpagelink" target="_blank">$post[filename]</a></normalfont><br>
<smallfont>This has been downloaded $post[counter] time(s).</smallfont></p>

so to work around this i have done this in my postbit_attachment
$post[postid]&fullpage=1

which works fine, but want i want to know is why the $newpagelink varible does not work.

Thanks for your help in advance!!!!

Are you sure you uploaded the new functions.php?

[5861king]

yep!!, 100% sure, it has been uploaded.

[Admin]

Umm, I really don't know what to tell you.
Are you sure you pasted it in the right place?

E-mail me your functions.php file and I'll take a look.

For the people who can't get it working. This is what it should look like in the posbit_attachment template.

PHP Code:

<p><normalfont><img src="{imagesfolder}/attach/$post[attachmentextension].gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="">Attachment: <a href="attachment.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$post[postid]=$newpagelink" target="_blank">$post[filename]</a></normalfont><br>
<smallfont>This has been downloaded $post[counter] time(s).</smallfont></p> 


This should help clear up some confusion. Take out the target="_blank" if you want it to open in the same window.
