There have been some requests for attachment upload by URL option... So here it is - my atttempt to create something like this. I am not sure that the way I did it is completely valid, but it does work. That is why I put it in beta releases. The code is fairly short, so it will not take more than one minute to install or remove it.

What this does is, it allows a user to upload an attachment from an URL rather than directly from user's computer. Sometime it is very useful.

Please test it out and comment and/or criticize. Thanks.

Edit: A fix was posted, please see this post:

I believe it allows you to attach a file from a url instead of uploading it.

Does this attach images using the [img] bbcode? Or does it add a new line to the attachment part with the option of a URL?

[akanevsky]

Yes, it adds a field for URL input next to the field for file input

Thanks Bro!!!

very sweet mod, should've been part of the product ages ago.

Not working. Error "Please select a file to attach using the "Browse..." button."

Then you did not install it correctly. What is your vB version?
