Moderators Functions - [AJAX] Edit Attachment Filenames

Edit Attachment Filenames 3.0

Click here to Nominate this Mod for Mod the Month

About this hack:
This hack is a pretty useful hack. It lets you edit filenames of attachments. Only users with 'canmoderateattachments' permissions on the forum that the attachment it posted by will be allowed to edit the filenames.

You access the edit by double clicking right near the filename of an attachment. It will bring up an edit box similar to the edit thread title vb feature. You will get an option to save or cancel the edit.

Now that you can see a list of all attachments in one thread, you would want to name some attachments differently so they can be identified with out looking at the post.

The filename extension cannot be edited.

Installation information on hack:

• Files edited: 0
• Templates edited: 2
• Files to upload via FTP: 1
• Time to install: 1 minute max

Updates:

Will this work for attachments as files as well as attachments in the db?

Do you have installed Template Modification System from Andreas? Use the attachment.

@Abe1
Better use $vbphrase[save] and $vbphrase[cancel], please.

Javascript error, if I want inline edit an attachment in postbit template (see attached thumbnail, please):
Error: document.getElementById("attachment_filename_" + attachmentid) has no properties
Source file: .../clientscript/edit_attachment_filenames.js
Line: 9

document.getElementById('attachment_filename_' + attachmentid).innerHTML = ''

Edit:
Updated templateedits, because copy & paste error. Please download the templateedits-abe1_edit_attachment_name.xml again and reimport. sorry.

Regards

Will be hard. It hard codes this into the plugin because I use 'button' and not 'submit'. It right now compares the Save or Cancel text.

You did not do the template edits perfectly then. It seems like you are missing the 2nd template edit for postbit_attachment

Nope. I wish I was able to though. I can make the headinclude edit go automatic. Maybe for next version.

Thank you very much Abe1 for this hint, this was a typically copy & paste error. Copied twice same text for find and replace

Regards
