What is this:
It enchances attachment upload interface with a new 'attachment description' field

Features:

• Conveniently enchances attachment upload screen with the description field (see screenshots)
• Displays attachment descriptions in:
  Attachment Manager, Post Edit (newthread, newreply, editpost) and Attachment List (in posts)

Just a couple questions. Does this add another query also can you give a screenshot off thread with an attachment ?

[akanevsky]

No, it does not add any additional queries at all
Yes, I can post the screenshot. One second please...

EDIT: Screenshot has been added.

?: does this work with multiple attachements popup?!...
(when you add the attachments)

[akanevsky]

It works perfectly with the standard vB3 attachment engine.

Dark Visor you are the best. A thousand thank you. The vbulletin developper owe you one. For 2 or 3 years they have been trying to do that one. They even had the unused description field in attachment table. When I questioned them about it, no straight answer could be given.

I installed it, tested, edited deleted, changed attachment in same post, beat it up etc... that description behaved exactly like you said.

For months I have been trying to do this.

One thing, you might want to correct the "alter table add" statement since it is already there. I just replaced the existing varchar with TINYTEXT

For my need, I also placed it under thumbnail, not just the "alt".

Let me bother you with one question, if you are familiar with vbadvanced news.php module. How to display it in front page too?

Oh My. This could be real handy to say the least. Quick question.

Ability to have multiple fields? I have a lot of file uploads, would be nice to state the author, and a couple other fields.

Also, if there was one thing the attachment system needed, it's the ability to use a URL instead of uploading a file. I have ton's of files needed to be added on my server, and a very slow connection. If you can ever figure that out, many people would be very happy, as it's requested a lot.
Looks awesome.

Fantastic idea.

[The Realist]

Well done.

Incompatiable with the Geek Article System 3.5.0 I think, which makes use of the column "description" in the table attatchments.
