Using attachements in an add-on

[TheBigK]

We are trying to implement attachment upload on add on and need to how to deal with content type? Do we just need to extend AttachmentHandler? Do we need custom js?

Can someone give us pointers here?

This is a very complicated thing to do and the best bit of advice I can give is to study in detail the exact way that XenForo handles it by default.

To answer your question you will need to set up a custom content type which specifies a custom AttachmentHandler.

You shouldn't need any custom javascript.

One thing that might help. If you're buying the Resource Manager, this will show you perfectly how a custom attachment type is added using an add-on. You will be able to see what templates need to be created, what Model functions are required, what an AttachmentHandler should look like, etc.

Yes, I'm buying resources manager. But it's still 6 more days before it launches.
