Convert Threads to Resources 1.0.2

[shibuya246]

You would be better off asking @Nobita.Kun who created this addon to see if he can extend it further for your needs.

Thanks
I thought this was the best place to discuss it since the resource resides here
I will try and contact Nobita.Kun also
Thanks

It has images and zip files. I can go through and reduce each thread to only have 1 zip file but would prefer not to delete the images

Here is an example of a post

Hi. You mean that cover more attachments into resource?? is that right?

At the moment when I run the add-in for my site, it does not add the zip file as a resource. Even when I delete the images first and make sure there is only 1 zip file present, it doesnt add it in.

I think this add-on is really good so was just hoping it could be extended to work for zip file attachments as well

Thanks

I have been converting a lot of these manually, just changing the is_fileless field in the db table to be 0 and then uploading the zip file again, even going in to update the download count and version number to match what I require.

I think to automate this inside your plugin would be too much work just for what I need. I appreciate your offer but unless a lot of others show interest I would just keep your plugin as it is and focus time on other things.

Appreciate your offer to look at it. Perhaps we might work on something else sometime

Ive attached the updated addon provided by @Nobita.Kun (Thanks! )

@shibuya246 I have not had a chance to test it yet, so please test it first in a test environment before using it in a live environment. Once I test it, ill update this resource.

Thank you. I have tested that out now and it worked perfectly. I have also installed it on my live site and it works great.
Excellent. Much appreciated

Good to hear!

0ptima updated Convert Threads to Resources with a new update entry:

Version 1.0.2

The first non-image attachment of the first post will be converted to a resource manager attachment. Any additional non-image attachments will not be converted and will no longer be accessible!

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

[0ptima]

Thanks to @Nobita.Kun, the first non-image attachment will be converted to a resource manager attachment. Just be careful when converting threads with non-image attachments as any additional non-image attachments will no longer be accessible.

Thanks, great add-on.
Suggestion: When converting the thread, it would be great to have the opportunity to set the resource name/title, instead of automatically using the thread title. In the pop-up requiring the resource category selection, also have another text form filled with the thread title pre-populated and allowing the user to edit it.

Also, thread tools when viewing a resource discussion probably shouldn't have the option to convert to resource.

I am testing this add-on and i have a question about it. Does this add-on only work if there is an attachment in the post? What about for external link downloads?

For example: In some of my threads. I have 5 pictures and an external link to download the resource. But when i convert the thread to resource.

The resource converts well but there is no download button. I thought this add-on would take the "Link" in the post and turn it into a "download via external website" along with the 5 photos.

Is this not possible? or am i doing something wrong.

It will work with no attachments.

From the addon overview page...

All attached images will be associated to the newly created resource. The first non-image attachment will be converted to a resource manager attachment. Any additional non-image attachments will not be converted and will no longer be accessible!

What about for external link downloads?

The addon does not create external link downloads.

Seems to work well in XF 1.4.6

Hi @0ptima

I was wondering if I use this, and then later uninstall it, will all the changes stay put? Thank you.
