Miscellaneous Hacks - You Can't See Attached Files Before Replying

This mod hides your attachments to a post until the reader has added a reply, I must point out that I did not create this mod but found it lieing about in the 3.5 section.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1431885

It was pointed out that this mod was of no use due to the fact that all a user had to do was click the paperclip icon in the forum index and they would be able to download without having to reply. This issue has now been resolved and users will no longer be able to bypass this mod.

All credit should go to Stoebi for the updates

Hi

• Queries in postbit_display_complete are bad solutions
• Template edit not necessary
• Missing phrase, yours is hardcoded
• Template is uncached
• Missing table prefix

Your template is using <normalfont>You must reply to be able to download the file</normalfont>. Never heard about such a tag <normalfont>

Better:
Template postbit_cantseeattach:

<span class="smallfont">$vbphrase[cantseeattach]</span>

My ideas, not tested, but it should work:

For template cache:
Hook cache_templates:

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread')
{
    $globaltemplates[] = 'postbit_cantseeattach';
} 


Reduce queries in hook postbit_display_complete:

PHP Code:

if ($this->post['attach'])
{
    GLOBAL $m, $vbulletin;

    if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != $m AND !can_moderate($forumid))
    {
        eval('$this->post[\'imageattachmentlinks\'] = "' . fetch_template('postbit_cantseeattach') . '";');
        eval('$this->post[\'thumbnailattachments\'] = "' . fetch_template('postbit_cantseeattach') . '";');
        eval('$this->post[\'imageattachments\'] = "' . fetch_template('postbit_cantseeattach') . '";');
        eval('$this->post[\'otherattachments\'] = "' . fetch_template('postbit_cantseeattach') . '";');
        eval('$this->post[\'moderatedattachments\'] = "' . fetch_template('postbit_cantseeattach') . '";');
    }
} 


Hook showthread_post_start:

PHP Code:

if ($thread['attach'])
{
    $p = $db->query_first("SELECT userid
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post
        WHERE threadid = $threadid AND userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "
    ");

    $m = $p['userid'];
} 


For showing or not showing paperclip in threadbit.
Hook threadbit_process:

PHP Code:

if ($thread['attach'])
{
    GLOBAL $db, $vbulletin;

    $p = $db->query_first("SELECT userid
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post
        WHERE threadid = $thread[realthreadid] AND userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "
    ");

    $m = $p['userid'];

    if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != $m AND !can_moderate($forumid))
    {
        $show['paperclip'] = false;
    }
} 


A variable/phrase cantseeattach is needed also:
Content:

You must reply to be able to download the file

I've no idea, how can i better reduce the queries in theadbit_process.
If anyone know how we can optimize it better, please let us know.

This is so tempting for my techs. I am going to download and think on this one. This could be a good way to increase activity.
