New site feature: list all attachments from a topic in one page

Because some topics on Omnimaga have grown, can grow or will grow to insane proportions (such as the main Axe Parser topic, which is close to 1000 posts), it can be very hard to find a file attachment in it. This poses a problem when somebody is looking for an interesting program or routine somebody else posted in a popular project topic that has several pages, as the search engine doesn't search for attachments. To remedy to this situation, we have installed a new mod on Omnimaga forums that lets you display all attachments available in a topic in particular on the same page. Below you can see an example with the Axe Parser topic called "
Your Projects - Post and Critique
":
http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=topicattach;topic=1564
If you are confused about what is one attachment in particular, simply click the small icon nearby to go to the post where it was attached.
Unfortunately, due to our site setup, there is no way to make this avaiable dynamically right now (besides each topic names on the topic index pages of sub-forums), so what you need to do until we figure out a way around this is to grab the topic ID at the end of the URL and replace the "1564" with the ID in the URL posted above. If for example, the topic ID shows something like 1564.msg46965#new or 1564.0, just include the 1564 part.
We hope you enjoy, despite the current not-so-user-friendly way to access this new forum feature.
We also renamed the Feedback sub-forum because people kept asking calc and computer questions there, even thought it is not the purpose of that section.

Nice mod! This will be very useful, especially with multi page threads.

Thanks, plus I felt it would be nice to have since most other forum system that supports attachments got this now. The mod I installed adds a link besides each topic that got attachments in the list, but only for the default theme, which we have disabled. I may find a workaround eventually, though, or manually modify the other themes to add it.

Thanks.
Btw, I think one idea to have the small icons besides each topics with attachments like on TIMGUL SMF board would be that I use the exact same template for topic listing for all themes. The drawback, though, is that the "Pages: [1] 2 3 4 Go Down" and "Pages: [1] 2 3 4 Go Up" text and links would look ugly on certain forum skins, since they would be the exact same color anywhere, regardless of the theme settings (for some reasons, those can't be changed in the CSS)

Very useful indeed. I sometimes like to scavenge attachments on forums, I will use it frequently. I'm very graceful.
Now I wish, this could be found in other forums.

UTI got it, but I don't know if Revsoft does. I wish on Omni I could make an icon display if a topic has attachments on the topic list, though. It would be much more convenient

What about displaying an icon no matter what? It wouldn't matter if there weren't any attachments.
And I agree: This feature is really useful

Necroposting. It'd be good if we didn't have to backtrack to the board of a particular page to view all attachments, but rather have a button of some sort at the top/bottom of a topic page (i.e.: next to the reply/notify/mark unread etc buttons) that did this.
EDIT Actually I realised it is easier to type it in manually topic=xxxx.xx;action=topicattach

Yeah usually you just have to enter the URL of the list. It would be nice if on topic pages there was a link to that list, though.

Definitely putting this in my list of useful URL syntax. It has taught me much, so I don't have to go back up to the board page.
