Attachment manager. Is it possible?

[Vasya Pupkin]

Currently we have:
When the attachment needs to be placed in 2 posts, user have to upload it twice.
When the post with attachment  is deleted, the attachment is deleted too.

It would be more convenient to keep files in the same place where user would have rights to upload, reanme or delete their files or insert them into his posts using BBcodes.

Is it possible to create attachment manager for SMF like IMCE in Drupal?
Are there such modifications or forum discussions?

EDIT: Scrap that. It's updated in this mod:

I hope that's what you are after.

Some of the functions you want are already build in SMF for admins only: Admin > Forum > Attachments and Avatars

Hope this helps

You could try using Aeva Media

You could try using Aeva Media

That's also possible. Or a Downloads system.

Thanks for replyes.
Attachment positioning mod doesn't do what I want. It only suitable for placing of post's attachments.

It is ONLY possible to position attachments which are tied to that POST only.

I'll try Aeva Media and Downloads system, but I am not sure they can do things I want.

If you do start something like that, be persistant to prevent executable files. And with smfs ability to access the server via ftp, you could thererically have a built in file storage section for each user, and set a means of bbc/coding to display attachments. This idea is very doable. And as a side note/question, is there an email mod for smf, so users can have [email protected] as an email? That would also be a way to go with a user attachment mod.

Sure it can. You upload it to the gallery and use [smg id=xyz] to embed it right there into the post.
