Ok, how come no one has done the multiple attachment hack? I have been lurking on this site for some time now and have seen this requested at least 50 times.

Yes, I know about the one for sale... last time I checked it was going for $100 and was limited in its abilities. A bit unreasonable IMHO. :bandit:

Is it too difficult for you super hackers to do??? I don't get it. How about it? Any takers? This is one hack that would be really useful and I think would quickly become one of the all time favorites!

Specifically, I would like the following options incorporated:

1. Give the admin the ability to either allow or disallow attachments on a per forum basis (in the latest vB 2.2.4 it is my understanding that attachments are a global option, either you allow them in all forums or none).

2. If attachments are allowed in a particular forum, the admin should be able to set the number of attachments permitted in that forum.

3. If attachments are not allowed in a particular forum, no attachment box(es) should appear when posting. Likewise when editing a post in such a forum.

4. When editing a post in a forum that allows attachments, the user should be able to delete any or all of the attachments previously posted. Perhaps a check box would appear next to each attachment listed so that the user could select any or all of them and hit a dedicated "Delete Attachments" button that would leave the user in the posting window?

5. When editing a post in a forum that allows attachments, only the available number of attachment box(es) that the user has not used should appear so new attachments can be posted but, in any event, the poster will not be able to post additional attachments above the limit set for that forum. To be clear, if 3 attachments are allowed and a user only posts 1 initially, when the user returns to edit the post, 2 attachment boxes would appear. If the user then posts 2 more attachments he will have reached his limit of 3. When he returns to edit the post again, no attachment boxes would appear until he deletes 1 or more of the previously posted attachments.

6. The admin should have the option to store the attachments in the database or a user specified directory. Ideally, this would be set per forum also.

I would be willing to pay a reasonable fee for this hack.

Well, I hope someone is up to the task! Questions? Feel free to contact me.

Thanks,
Clark

How's it going?

Just thought I would see if you are having any success. Looking forward to testing it out! Talk to you soon.

Hey Neo,

Have you've given up? Anyother hackers want to give this a shot?

I'm currently working on a multiple attachments hack. Right now it only lacks the ability to restrict the number of attackments on a per forum/usergroup basis, but i'll fix this soon.
Everything else works very well.

as soon as the hack is complete i'll think about publishing it here.

Hello,

Any closer to release? Not bugging just anxious! :nervous:

Jedis · #9 05-04-2002, 11:37 PM

Any luck with this? This would be extremely useful.

RDX1 · #10 05-05-2002, 01:36 AM

my friends board already has mutiple attachments

cessna140 · #11 05-15-2002, 11:38 PM

Well, what board would that be and where did he get the hack???

Neo · #12 05-16-2002, 04:14 PM

Right... just wait for VB3

dabean · #13 05-17-2002, 12:51 AM

Not sure if anyone has pointed out the history of this hack or not and too lazy to read the whole thread.

As far as I remeber the general rumors from jellsoft that such a feature will be part of vB3 may have scared anyone else (other than the mentioned paid hack) from bothering to write such a hack, considering a upgrade script might be needed as/when vB3 appears.

Neo · #14 05-18-2002, 06:02 AM

And if its on in vb3 I will get in another argument with freddie about it

Uh...maybe he wrote it himself. People aren't required to release theirs hacks, you know.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
