Lack of interest Public side Attachment Browser

[Smooth]

Hi All,

We have been looking for a gallery solution for Xen, but having seen the Attachment Browser in ACP it has occured that this would be an ideal solution for us to have a user side equivalent. The idea would be that the users could click on a page to view all recent picture attachments, and click them to go through to the source thread.

Is there an add-on that currently does this?

Many thanks in advance for your replies.

There's this which allows members to view attachments they have uploaded: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/attachment-viewer.411/

You could try speaking to the developer/owner to see if they would consider expanding it to include a general attachments view for all members.

Did you mean to post this in suggestions? It seems more like a question or an add-on request.

Ahh sorry Brogan - saw it more as a small tweak that could be a useful feature for all - but add on might be the way to go

 

[Paul B]

No, that's fine.

I think a suggestion for this has already been made, which is why I was checking.
I'll see if I can find the thread.

Thanks Brogan - much appreciated. I have previously asked if it was a possible Xenporta add on?

There are these two threads, which deal with "your" attachments and the ability to view attachments uploaded by others.

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/view-all-attachments-by-user.1185/
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/your-attachments.459/

There are probably a few others but my eyes started glazing over after 5 pages...

Thanks Brogan! Very much appreciated!

Have sent a message to the developer to see if we could get the add on expanded - seems there is a definite need for a public attachment/image viewer. Would be a fantastic and user friendly way to get gallery integration into Xen without the need for separate storage/add on etc as you get the images posted automatically when adding them to a thread. One of the big pitfalls with our previous (non Xen) system was that people were posting and commenting on images outside of the thread structure.

Appreciate your assistance sir - and definitely think it would make a very cool 'switch on' feature in Xen to service the many photography/iphoneography/art forums that utilise Xen for its beautiful looks and clean themes.

Hey all. Just an update to this, but Jaxel has just developed a Recent Attachments block for us - http://xenforo.com/community/threads/8wayrun-com-xenporta-portal.26838/page-64#post-460077

We will release our full featured Attachment Manager addon within the next weeks.

It allows your users to browse and delete their attachments (all controlled by a user group setting) and also to easily reuse them for additional posts/messages via a button in message editor that pops up an attachment selector.
