Integration of .swf files

[abdulla1]

Hello, how do we integrate .swf files into vbulletin forum??

i want to add a game with the file .swf to my forum,

any ideas??

<embed src="file source here" width="width" height="height" />

It's the same concept as implementing it on a regular page. Just place the relevant HTML wherever you'd like the game shown.

If you want to place it on a page of its own there are several tutorials in the Article Depository on Creating a Custom Page in vBulletin.

Thanks but how do i get the code from the .swf file??

i have got the file ready and i want to integrate the game into my web.

dont i have to upload it first somewhere in the server then add a link?

Correct, the .SWF file needs to be uploaded to your server.

<object width="X" height="Y" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0">
<param name="movie" value="/path/to/flashfile.swf" />
<embed src="/path/to/flashfile.swf" width="X" height="Y" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

Yes! thats my point, its actually a game. so how the code should be?

and where do i place it sir?? i mean place the code.

[Kirk Y]

The HTML code should be placed wherever you'd like the game to be shown.

I also updated the code I posted previously, use it instead of the previous one.

okay so here's what i do,

Open the Cpanel upload the file,

then place the code whenever i want the game to be shown?
and i just write the file name in the path?

then done?

Yes, edit the relevant template in vBulletin and add your code.

[Kirk Y]

Can you elaborate on what you want a little? Are you asking how to link to a template you created?

exactly, how do i link to a new template created. to be opened in a new link

for example,

www.mywebsite.com/"new game template in this page"

Just remember, all the templates are is html pages being displayed with php. Treat them exactly as you would regular html files. With that said, http://www.w3schools.com/ may be your best friend.

A template is basically the container of the contents that will be displayed on a page, so you have 1/2 the equation -- you just need a page to display your template contents on.

There are a few routes to this:
Create your own Page (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62164)
Modification; No PHP Page Creation Needed (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123162)

Thanx Kirk that would be useful. :)
