Attachment Browser for Front End

[Ludachris]

This is more of a suggestion for add-on developers who are looking for some useful new add-ons to create. I think it would be cool if we had an Attachment Browser feature for the front end of the site. It could work very similar to the one in the ACP, but maybe set it up so that it can be displayed in a grid layout to make it look nicer. There would be a link to the post where the attachment lives, the user who posted, and maybe list the thread title. I could see giving the admin the ability to choose which forums are included/excluded.

Just a thought. I know I'd use it.

@AndyB - this seems like one you would have in your list of add-ons.

I thought that plugin makes it so the user can easily see all of "their own" attachments. Or does it show display all attachments on the front end?

This would be more of an "attachment feed" for the entire site. A way for any user to see all of the attachments posted on the site in a gallery feed format, again, just like the Attachment Browser in ACP.

Ah, I see.

So basically a "newest attachment" widget with a grid view layout and maybe with additional settings.

Well, good luck.
