Since you have the boardname the attachment belongs to ($amcurrentboard), you can use the AccessCheck sub, just like this:

($dummy, $boardperms, $dummy) = split(/\|/, $board{"$amcurrentboard"});
my $access = &AccessCheck($board, '', $amcurrentboard);
if ($access eq "granted") { ... } 

Since you'd call this sub several times if there are multiple attachments in a topic, I'd suggest you to cache the result of the AccessCheck() call in an array. That will speed things up a bit.

Hi

Ok Michael .... i point it out .... this works ...

## Access check begin ##
($dummy, $boardperms, $dummy) = split(/\|/, $board{"$amcurrentboard"});
my $access = &AccessCheck($amcurrentboard, '', $boardperms);
if ($access ne "granted") { $amthreadsubshow = "N/A"; } else { $amthreadsubshow = qq~<a href="$scripturl?num=$amthreadid/$amreplies#$amreplies" target="blank"> $amthreadsub</a>~; }
## Access check end ## 

..... now it hide Threadlinks (N/A) if Boardaccess not "granted" .... only problem, when the Administrator the "Boardperms" leave emty .... and only set "Categoryperms" .... the "Threadlink" would be show !?

Just a heads up for all those jumping on Y2 to mod it, very impressive people.

One reminder after looking through the newly introduced mods for Y2.
Keep in mind that Y2 is written to work multi-lingual by default so if you write a mod that handles language dependent stuff like e.g. board rules, just make sure that you write it to work multi lingual too.
Location of you datafile and language definitions should be in Languages/<your language>.
Buttons should be in yabbfiles/buttons/<your language>

The reason I'm stressing this issue is that even your mod should be able to allow users in different languages to read the data your mod serves up in their own language on the user side and on the admin side allow the sysop to edit all the languages from his admin center.

Keep up the brilliant work guys and girls, I'm truly impressed.

Resuming on one of my other remarks today I'd like to stress the use of language modifications separately.

The development rules for Y2 were set to be:

Mods that use separate .pl files (as in extra features like poll, RSS and such)  must use a separate .lng file.
Mods that alter the base functions of standard Y2 functions can use two ways of implementing extra text strings or changed txt strings.
1. Use the same structure as the first kind of mods, being a separate lng file (which makes localisation a breeze).
2. use an addition to the existing .lng file with a new variable and added just above the 1; in the lng file.

Changing the base text strings must be restricted to zero or the absolute minimum to avoid multiple mod incompatibility problems while installing them.

I figured it out by looking at some other mods that had done that.

You have to edit AdminIndex.pl and search for:

### END BOARDMOD ANCHOR ### 

Then add before, something like this:

$you_mod = "you_mod|/you Feature Settings|Edit Your /you Feature Settings|";
push (@boardmod_mods, "$you_mod"); 

You then have to edit AdminEdit.pl and add the appropriate stuff.  You will most likely need to create two separate subs.  You will need one sub that shows your settings page, and a second sub that evaluates/stores the information.

You then need to edit AdminSubList.pl and add the subs that you just created.

I think that's just about it.  Again, I recommend checking out an existing mod that has its own settings page to see how it's done.

Hi

Hmm .. check out the sub BoardTotals @ Sources/Sytem.pl

Mod images should be put in mod folder, and $modimgurl used to access them.

Looking at how yabbs display.pl is written, this code is used (for example)

$template_split = qq~$menusep<a er">$img{'admin_split'}</a>~; 

$img{'admin_split'} contains the img html I assume.  Should a similar thing be done with mod images?  Sorry - still getting to grips with the way yabb2 differs from yabb1
