Private Attachments! (Attachments in Private Messages) · **Released**: 03-01-2002

*drums*

This hack is now out of beta! Safe to use.

My latest and one of the more extensive hacks -- Private Attachments!
This huge (I ain't kidding, it's pretty big) hack will allow your members to send private messages with attachments in them, so they don't need to use e-mail for that.

Since this hack requires a large number of edits, this is how I recommend installing it:
(a) Run the queries.
(b) Edit all the files, offline.
(c) When you are done with (b) upload all the files at once.
(d) Perform the template edits.
If you do all actions in this order your users shouldn't notice you are installing the hack.

All feature requests (except for limiting this for usergroups -- if you want that do it yourself it's not hard but I'm tired of adding permissions to the dreaded usergroup.php) are welcome before this goes out of beta.

As always, have fun.

Xelation, I forgot to add something. Do this change:

Code:

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| In file private.php replace this:                                                               |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  $message = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT privatemessage.*,icon.title as icontitle,icon.iconpath
                                    FROM privatemessage
                                    LEFT JOIN icon ON (privatemessage.iconid = icon.iconid)
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                                                                                                 |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| With this:                                                                                      |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  $message = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT privatemessage.*,icon.title as icontitle,icon.iconpath,attachment.attachmentid,attachment.filename,attachment.counter
                                    FROM privatemessage
                                    LEFT JOIN icon ON (privatemessage.iconid = icon.iconid)
                                    LEFT JOIN attachment ON (attachment.attachmentid = privatemessage.attachmentid)
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

and you'll be fine.

Works like a charm! Great Hack!

:up: ...... do you plan to add this to vb.org? because this would be a real time saver.

Xelation · #8 03-02-2002, 03:08 PM
