    hi all, i am trying to write a buddypress plugin. i hooked a file upload control (`name=’ma_file’ id=’ma_file’`) to the private message screen and its showing up there on the compose screen. now i have to access the file selected in the file upload control. m trying to access `$_FILES` inside a function i wrote in `messages_message_before_save` action. but `$_FILES` always returns blank. please help

    opps my bad! forgot that the form’s enctype attribute has to be set. if i edit the `wp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-themesbp-defaultmemberssinglemessagescompose.php` file to set the forms enctype then it works. but then another problem, how do i set it through my plugin so that i dont have to go and edit that file manually. or is if possible in the first place? any work around?

    Ooh. Tricky. Does setting the attribute via javascript work?

    If you submit this as an enhancement ticket to https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org, using your username and password from this site, we can change the template in BuddyPress 1.7 for you. If you can attach a patch, that would be even better :)
