Show all attachments in attachment box

[nrep]

When inserting an attachment directly into a post (i.e. Thumbnail/Fullsize inline), it stops that being displayed in the attachments box.

Normally that's fine, but in this instance I'd like all attachments to be displayed. Is there a way to do this using template edits?

 

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

This is hard coded as far as I can remember... so template edit wont help.

Thanks for the reply . I've started looking through the files to see if I can find where it is.

I've been searching for where this could be in the code for ages, but can't see it - has anyone come across it before? Any tips would be very welcome .

HINT: Take a look at these three view classes:

XenForo_ViewPublic_Thread_View
XenForo_ViewPublic_Thread_ViewPosts
XenForo_ViewPublic_Thread_ViewNewPosts

 

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

To be more specific, what you are looking for is located in

XenForo_ViewPublic_Helper_Message::getBbCodeWrapper()

method

Thanks @Mr. Goodie2Shoes - I'll do a search now .

Thank you so much, I've got it working via a manual file edit now - /library/Xenforo/ViewPublic/Helper/Message.php

I just needed to comment out this:

                        unset($message['attachments'][$attachId]);

Now I just need to figure out how to do this via an add-on rather than hard coding!

Hmm, I did some searching and it looks like it isn't possible to do this via an add-on after all, as @AndyB tried to extend the same class:

Is hard coding the only way around this? I'm trying to get all attachments to display when shown within the "Showcase" addon.

There's no way to extend view helpers.

When I tried doing this recently, I created a custom class with my code changed, and then eval'd a class with the name of the XF class extending my class.

It's incredibly hacky, and not recommended at all.

Well, there is a way to 'extend' static calls... you can look into this: https://github.com/Yoskaldyr/cmf_core/
