Don't have time to test this right now, but thanks, looks like a good modification <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Great idea thanks for the mod.. I can't get to testing this one for awhile either.

Great mod!<br /><br />Would it be possible for the different forums to use separate file catalogs?<br /><br />What I mean is this:<br /><br />I would like some forums to have theis own catalogs for attachements. These should only be accesseble by users who have access to the certain forum, and not open to everyone, like the default catalog.<br /><br />Would be cool to have when I later on will by the PayPal-mod.

Yes, but I as it is outwith the scope of what I want to do with the website I am working on at the moment, I wont be create the modifcation.<br /><br />Perhaps you could ask someone for hire?

Wondering if it would be a simple add in or edit to this mod to only allow certain groups to post the attachments, on any given forum? <br /> <br />To basicly only allow groups 5 to 8 the permission to post attachments for instance? (Didnt see a mod like this when searching, hope i didnt miss it) <br /> <br />Looks like the first edit mentions group 4... would it just be adding the other groups to that (and taking the 4 out?) what would be the code exactly? (Im real green at programming) <br /> <br />

This section in adduser.php seems to be where it decides permissions to post attachments? Yes? No? <br /> <br />// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> // If we are allowing file attachments and we are dealing with a Mozilla 4+ <br /> // browser then we let them attach files. Also we need to make sure they <br /> // are not posting as Anon. <br /> if( ($Attach == "On") && ($Reged == "y")) { <br /> $attachfile = "<br /><br />{$ubbt_lang['YES_FILE2']}"; <br /> $fileinput ="<input type=\"file\" name=\"userfile\" accept=\"*\" class=\"formboxes\" size=\"60\" />"; <br /> } <br /> <br /> <br />This line: <br /> if( ($Attach == "On") && ($Reged == "y")) <br /> <br /> <br />Im not sure how to do it, but adding more arguements to it will do it right? <br /> <br />Like if it said "if attach is on, and reged is yes, AND group is 5 OR 6 OR 7 OR 8" then it is allowed??? <br /> <br />Can someone who knows php more than me make/modify that line of code so I can try it? <br /> <br />Will it work the way I think it will, only allowing users in those groups to post attachments? <br /> <br />It looks like the same if/then line I am asking for help on might need to be added/edited to other parts of this mod too, whereever it says the if reg'd and attach=on? <br /> <br />This would be great for you guys out there like myself who run donation/supporter software for supporting members. <br /> <br />Deej

I made this real easy for what I wanted. <br /> <br />Since i was allowing attachments to any forums, I only needed to change who was allowed to.. I only wanted certain groups to have the ability to upload... <br /> <br />SO I only changed the strings which checked the user, in the post modifying scripts, and it now locks out any user who isnt in my supporting groups, from adding attachments. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />Deej

Deej is this the one you just posted or additional steps? 6.4.2

I just modified this mod... <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Only had to modify the scripts that add or modify posts. (addpost, modifypost etc)<br /><br />Just changed the lines in the scripts that figure out what users are allowed to post attachments. I added in the groups I wanted, and took out the ones I didnt.<br /><br />This mod the way its posted is a lot more in depth than what I just did... This mod is made to restrict them per forum... and also there is selections available through the admin panel. What I did stripped out all that stuff.<br /><br />Deej

I am glad SOMEONE actually used it <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />It's the first real "hack" that I've not been able to find anywhere online, and had to resort to writing myself. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
