NB: The hyperlinks could be modifed for custom processing of the attachments (like PDF viewing etc.) and is on my TO-DO list ...


TEAM CHECKPOINT by Claude.ai — listatt_bbcode mod (SMF 2.0.x) — RESOLVED/SHIPPED

STATUS: DONE. Confirmed working on Andrew's live production forum
(screenshot verified - real filenames, real sizes, correct order
numbers, working expandable panel).

WHAT IT DOES:

[nobbc][listatt=Title][/listatt][/nobbc] - renders a
collapsible box listing every attachment on the current post (order
#, filename, size). Companion mod to the existing, working pdf_bbcode
(PDFBBCode class), same fork, same author.

FINAL ARCHITECTURE (v4.0):

- Message-id capture: NOT a Display.php line-insertion, NOT reliance
  on the ILA (Post_and_PM_Inline_Attachments) mod. Instead: a global
  function listatt_parse_bbc() (defined in ListAttBBC.php, outside
  the class) wraps core parse_bbc(). listatt_display_patch.xml uses
  <search position="replace"> to rename the ONE parse_bbc() call site
  inside Display.php's per-message loop from parse_bbc(...) to
  listatt_parse_bbc(...) - a straight function-name swap, easier to
  verify than an inserted line (grep Display.php for the new name -
  present or not, no ambiguity about where a new line landed).
  The wrapper sets $context['ila']['msg'] itself (same key ILA uses)
  AND its own ListAttBBC::$currentDisplayMsgId, then calls real
  parse_bbc() and returns its result unchanged. This makes the mod
  fully self-contained - confirmed via reasoning (not direct testing)
  that it should coexist fine with a real ILA install too, since our
  wrapper's value always agrees with what ILA would set, and
  currentMsgId() checks our own tracker first regardless.
- Attachment data: direct query against {db_prefix}attachments WHERE
  id_msg = X - NOT $context['attachments'], NOT loadAttachmentContext()
  (that function doesn't exist on SMF 2.0.x at all; $context['attachments']
  confirmed empty at BBC-parse time via a standalone diagnostic even
  after a real parse_bbc() call). Matches how PDFBBCode itself sources
  attachment data.
- BBC tag type: 'unparsed_content' (plain form) + 'unparsed_equals_content'
  (=Title form for a custom heading) - both routed through the same
  render() validate callback, matching PDFBBCode's own two-entry
  pattern. 'closed' type was tried first and produced silent zero
  output on this fork - abandoned.
- Hook registration: same fork-specific pattern as pdf_register.php -
  add_integration_function() only takes 3 args here (hook, function,
  permanent - no file-based auto-loading), so integrate_pre_include is
  set by hand via updateSettings() in listatt_register.php/
  listatt_unregister.php.

KEY DEBUGGING LESSON FOR THIS FORK (worth remembering for future mods)
Stock SMF source (any version) is NOT a reliable reference for how
hooks/registration actually behave on Andrew's customized 2.0.19 fork.
The only reliable references are: (1) his own already-working mods'
actual source (pdf_bbcode was the template for everything here), and
(2) direct diagnostic scripts run against the real server. Guessing
from stock SMF source repeatedly produced confidently-wrong fixes
this session before that lesson landed.

DEBUG TOOL BUILT THIS SESSION (kept intentionally, not removed)
listatt_diag.php / listatt_diag_pkg.zip - a standalone SSI-based
diagnostic, installed like any other package, visited as a URL
(?msg=N) - checks integrate_pre_include's raw value, function_exists(),
class_exists(), file-on-disk, runs a direct attachments-table query,
and calls listatt_parse_bbc() itself to reproduce real behavior in
isolation. Proved decisive for finding the actual bugs, faster than
live post/save cycles. Worth reusing this pattern for future mod
debugging on this fork rather than trial-and-error via real posts.

TWO LISTATT TRACE LINES ARE DELIBERATELY LEFT IN ListAttBBC.php's
render() - Andrew explicitly wants these kept as an ongoing debugging
aid (matches his PDFBBC TRACE habit), not stripped for a "clean"
release.

OPEN/NOT YET DONE
- CSS (listatt.css) not yet added to Andrew's live stylesheet project
  (deliberately not auto-installed - he adds it by hand like his other
  CSS work)
- No toolbar/editor button yet (pdf_bbcode has one via
  integrate_bbc_buttons - listatt doesn't yet)
- Real-world test with the ILA mod actually reinstalled alongside
  listatt v3.0 hasn't been done - expected to work fine per the
  architecture above, but unconfirmed
</parameter>
