[DONE 1.4.0] Show Attachments in MessageIndex

[Big P]

This was made by request, so I've decided to release it.

Basically it puts the clip.gif in the subject of a message to show there is an attachment in the first post in that thread. (So users know when patchs or mods or whatever are posted) vBulletin has this feature, and I think it suits YaBB.

No extra queries are required. I had to replace the query string however.

The Mod is attached.
Let me know how you get on.

I installed it which went ok, but on two of my boards, 80% of the threads show the paper clip even if there is not attachments in the post.  All the other boards are ok and if you post new message to a thread that is incorrectly showing a paper clip then it disappears but if you then delete the that new post from the tread the paperclip comes back. Very strange, but it works 100% for new posts. Any ideas

big p i tryed to tell u this but it was too late u ran off   and check the rpg mod thing out that is missing some info i recon. like what files it actually is gonna modify etc.. but how do i know lol.

[Big P]

That's odd. Does the image show up if there is an attachment in any post in that thread? Or just show up even if there are no attachments in that thread?

[Stud Muffin]

It is showing on page 1 only on two boards.  Very strange.  It shows up even if no attachments are in a post, but if someone posts in that thread then the clip image disappears.  It works fine on new posts, so its not really a problem, thanks.  Check it out at my forum if you like.  I currently have it to shows 20 topics on the index and so it shows 20 clips on the first page, but if i set it to 15  then it only show 15 clips and none on the second page. Weird

fixed it. The mod is attached in the first place, all in working order. I had to eval() the code.  

[Broomop]

what changes did u make man.............. since i did it manual....... ill take a look at the mod now though to see if i can do the mod myself.

Cheers for the update Big P  

Note it also corrected the problem

Broomop, I had to edit the code which changed the $attach variable to the image itself. Here's the new code:

Code Select Expand

if ($attachs > 0) {
$attimage = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/clip.gif\">"; }
eval("\$attach = \$attimage;");
if ($attachs == 0) { $attach = ""; }
The eval() statement distinguishes between each thread, and the next line just removes a "0" from the messageindex (its all to do with attachmentSize )

No problem Stud Muffin, just sorry it didn't work the first time.

yeah i found that out like 3 mins after posting lol...... at least u helped me........ and im still busy trying to get u, u know what o its my bd today lol

[Big P]

Happy birthday!
What did you find out Broomop? That I check attachment Sizes? Well that's the only way to check if there is an attachment, as there is no single value saying there is an attachment in a thread.
Well, glad it works and glad you like it.

probly best mod i got man.... is there a way to make a mod for ur name so u can do like #C1 H #C2 i like that... for ur name though. so u can have multicolour names or would that take alot of coding to do somthing like that... and have like on top of wher u change ur name the colour palletes. And it coudl be used for sig's or whateva. also another good idea would be to have like the yabbc tags on top of ur sig it would be really handy.

[Big P]

YSE 2 will have the feature to change the colour of names I believe. And it should be hard to do anyway. I'd say it will use yabbc code for it rather than html. That what you mean? There isn't much point in doing it now.
Did you have the add more membergroups mod installed for YaBB SP1? In that you could change the colour of a users name, add code etc. That what you mean?

Could someone post the updated php file? I can't use BoardMod and when I did it manualy, the file screwed up!

What updated php file? Does the first file not work in 1.4.1? I'm sure it does. You mean messageindex.php? Why can't you use boardmod? It's easy.
