Archive Comment Addon by
Homicide V2.4.0
New verion soon (leave feedback before release)
Automatically add a custom comment to ZIP‑based attachments downloaded from your XenForo forum.
Depending on your settings, the addon can:
insert a text file inside the archive
write a ZIP metadata comment
do both at the same time
What’s New
This version gives you much more control over how comments are added to archives.
You can now:
choose which archive extensions to handle: zip, jar, epub, docx, xlsx, pptx, odt, ods, odp, apk
choose whether the comment is added as a file, metadata, or both
customize the filename of the inserted text file
place the file in a custom subfolder inside the archive
prevent overwriting if the file already exists
exclude specific user groups from receiving modified files
add a prefix to the downloaded filename
use dynamic placeholders in the comment text
Available Placeholders
Customize the comment text with:
- {username}
- {user_id}
- {ip}
- {filename}
- {date}
- {time}
- {site_name}
- {site_url}
Example:
Code:
Downloaded by {username} from {site_name} on {date} at {time}
