vb3 Attachments - Including Multiple Attachments Option

Woo! Finally! I've been working on this for 10 straight hours now.

It's a replica of the vbulletin 3 attachment feature, which supports multiple uploads. We can't have vbulletin 3 yet, but at least we can copy it.


Files to edit: 5
Queries to run: 5
New Templates: 3

Just be sure to backup before trying anything.
You can see it live at my forums. Log in as test/test, if you want to see it in action.

And don't forget to click the Install button if you like the hack.

UPDATE - Please re-download the file. Upgrading instructions are included in instructions.php. And sorry for the wait. I had to bribe my parents with 15 math exercises to let me use the computer. :knockedout:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-

SECOND UPDATE - Sorry for the previous non-functioning version, everyone. I did those modifications really late at night and some errors slipped in. This update fixes permission errors, allows you to specify a maximum number of attachments, fixes 65535 bytes error and includes repairing instructions for editpost.php
I have tested it on a clean 230 test board and it worked fine.

THIRD REVISION - This update fixes the 3 largest errors reported so far:
1. The view image atachments option now works
2. Attaching more than one file with a new thread now works
3. Deleting a post with attachments now works

To everyone who used attachment.php from the old zip: Please replace it with your original one. attachment.php was added in the zip by mistake.

intalled :P been wantin this one 4 ages well err since i saw it on vb 3 lol nice one mate

Is there an option so only certain usergroups can use multiple attachments? Maybe an option in the usergroup options pages?

I just realised i forgot three things:
1. Modification to attachment.php
2. Removal of files from the temporary table
3. Making old attachments compatible. (Old attachments won't be displayed in the postbit. Just ones uploaded after the hack was installed).

I'll have an update by tomorrow. I'm too tired to do it now.

Edit: that isn't currently supported, N9ne

^ hope u get that sorted mate

Nice work, This adds only two querys to showthread.php right?.

Also the top of your install.txt reads incorrectly

rake, great job on this. I knew someone would manage to release this eventually, glad to see it in your name.

I'll be looking into implementing this later. *bookmarked*

Looks awesome
I'll be installing this.

Very nice hack.
One which will be cherished by vB2 members who won't be upgrading to vB3.
I can see this being one of the hottest hacks.
Possibly even hack of the month?
Keep up the good work.

Dave.
