xF2 Addon Archive Comment 2.4.0

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

---

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

---

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}
