[Suggestion] Attachment System

[BlackDrag]

Hy

I do use the attachments systems on my sites and it will be a good feature on future release to have the option to list, organize, edit attachments per members form their profile or a specific section in ACP but with more details than the existing one.
Something similar as the options you do get with the ip download...

First I made a post in IPSBeyond but I can't manage to do it in a good way, an d I think It will be another nice feature for a future version of ipb.

It would make life easier... +1

What about adding tabs like post, topics in profile just to see the last attachments and a link to check all the attachments made by one user and for admins to edit, remove or anything an admin could do?

I'd much rather save queries than allow attachments (which aren't used on my forums anyways).

I suggest a Turn Attachments OFF completely: Yes / No switch somewhere, to save queries.

+1 but also add multifile upload
it will be easier rather than uploading one file only
if i have more than 10 file it will be Cumbersome to upload it

set it up when you create the user groups, if not an on/OFF function will turn off attachments for all groups.. :P

Just wonder how many server can handle that and how many queries will be used... :blink:

I have been asking for multiple file uploads for a long time now, hope IPS considers this :rolleyes:

You can upload multiple files to a post already...

In order to have a feature where you can upload multiple files in one go you either need

1) A java applet: then we need someone who can code the java applet and debug it, there are other security things to consider with java, lack of support, etc.

2) A flash applet: same issues as #1

3) An unzipper utility on the forums: a better possibility, but requires users to zip all the files they are uploading first


All in all, multi-file uploading is not part of the http-specifications and thus is not as "easy" as some think it is.
