Heh..already have one from your other thread
/me install!
This look brilliant. Installing now...
Ok, a couple of things:
1. When viewing setup.php, I get this:
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\forums\admin\setup.php:8) in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\forums\admin\functions.php on line 1574
Doesn't affect the install, but doesn't look clean ;)
2. "Resetting TABLE BBcode ...succeeded"
What?! If this is what I think it is, it's going to annoy a lot of people when they lose all of their BBcodes!
Otherwise, nice job :)

I didn't get any errors
very nice work, my ppl love it
thanks HiSquad
Note to all:
Go to your admin panel, click on Modify under Custom BBCode.
You might want to remove the Flash banner, and most annoying of all is the wave sound that starts spouting rubbish. HiSquad seems to have branded a fair bit of the BBCodes. I wouldn't have a problem with this, but when I'm making a vBulletin board for clients I would like to be aware that they might get a shock!
Another thing - don't hold me to this, but I know Flash files can be very versitile due to Actionscript having many possiblities. I'm wondering, if a user can run a Flash file in a post (along with any actionscript inside of it) could this pose a security risk?
I know they're just examples, but when installing vB boards for clients it could confuse them :)

That hack it didn't have any thing wrong.
Why you tell that?

Look I put that for examples just and who one goto control panel for confuse .??????????
I'm not having a go at you or anything, I'm just saying that some people might want to change the examples in the custom BB codes area. (Like if people are installing vB boards for companies)

Might be an idea to remove it then ;)

Yes I already removed it and I kept all of buttons, it s perfect but not flash. I aint mind to have it install together but can use actionscript to steal cookie and password with few modifies in flash so I rather not :)
Which template is the button code stored in? I can't remember :(
Goldknight
10-20-2002, 07:00 PM
in vbcode_buttons template :)
For those who aren't keen on editing...
Security fix
Open the vbcode_buttons template. Replace the entire contents with the contents of the attached zip file.
Then, in your Admin Panel click on "Modify" under the "Custom vB Codes" section. Remove the following vB codes:
? Flash
? Wave Files
? RAM Files
What this does:
This fix removes the ability for users to post Flash files in threads. (A potential security risk.) In my case, I've also removed WAV files (because they can be plain annoying) and RAM files (because these are rarer, and also plain annoying).

If you want use this template don't installation this hack
HiSquad
10-20-2002, 07:40 PM
Becouse Flash,Wave and RAM is a new in my hack
Still, you can't stop people from removing it - if they choose to remove those three, they can. Personally, the reason I installed this hack was because it looked better than the standard buttons

I didn't said that, look
As you like :classic:
I don't quite understand you, but never mind :p
Oh, I get it. Don't click on install if you've used my template. Fair point. :)
thanx hisquad ,
it looks pretty :)
but with daily backup no need to more security lol

Sorry to burst your bubble, but even with daily backups, a hacker could still do a lot of damage.
I guess it just depends on the activity of your site.

great hack
install very easy!!!

10-22-2002, 07:27 AM
you guys
just relax.. and yes anyone who likes the hack can install it and can also remove what he/she doesnt' like.. did you not change the English lanugage of your vB ? did you not change the look ? I am sure your answer would be yes yes.. so the same rulle apply here...
its just a misunderstanding
he doesn't like the extraz rings and bills of wav ram and worry of flash.. thats fine... I use them cuz my users want them .. flash is another thing although I run it and like one said with daily backups things look on the bright side
if I see attempts on that by few, I would remove the flash part
all in all, this looks cool and many have loved it and even other Admins have asked me for it since I have installed the original hack and later on added the new buttons
so.. back to work ya'll :)

I made a post on my site and started using the new buttoms and info it lets you use and all of a sudden norton poped up and said I had a virus, so I went and did a scan on the zip and the unziped files and was clear.!

Man ... smoking crack is bad for you! Let the man who created the hack do his work! If someone gots probs with this hack, let him handle it.
If you like, create one simular to his, and post it. You're stealin the guys thunder here and being a disrespectful peep!
And kill the noise about a virus ... I aint found one so what's up with dat?
Goldknight
10-24-2002, 01:25 AM
actually HiSquad's hack is best one but John.evoie want to warn everyone about flash but as for wav or ram, it is ok to use.
If I go ahead and register at any board that support flash and I ll swipe the admin password under nose without notice what I did. It is so simple. Thats why John concern about that. That s all.
Bison
10-24-2002, 01:37 AM
But doesn't the file extension have to be registered (accepted) as a legitimate file (attachment) upload before you can perform this?
Goldknight
10-24-2002, 02:22 AM
Yes you are right but I can fake email address, fake username and everything else then I got the permission to use the attachment and swipe. It is really sticky situation, thats why many hackers refuse to make any hack that can support flash like avatar and few things.

10-24-2002, 03:37 AM
You know Rolodex
You opened your mouth.
I'm not downing his hack.. I just said I downloaded it and installed it and when I went to use it .
My norton popped up and said it had a virus.
OK!!!!!!!!!!!!
As far as what you are saying It pissed me off when someone jumps in like you have and says this.
And if you had read my post you would have seen that I ask if anyone else saw this in the zip.
I never once said I didn't like or appreciate the hack.
but there is 1 thing and it is the sound that is in it when you go to your admin area to edit the bbcode.
As far as the remark on crack goes I don't use it and don't like the term either.
Bison
10-24-2002, 04:03 AM
Well you should have stated that this may be an isolated issue. You're not the one that I have the comment about. It's the other guy who's exciting fear into everyone here. his approach was terrible ... not contacting the author about this issue and creating a fix for everyone and making the guy look bad.
Your situation could have been on your side of the coin. Try scanning your computer first and your downloads before storing them on your pc. You should have caught this before opening the file.
Also you may have your scan settings to high which could have gave you a false alarm. I use norton 2003 pro and accept downloads with Flashget (Which I have it scan the files after downloading).
Better to perform these procedures before announcing something that you didn't take the precautions to check before posting it on the the board. It only adds to the fire here with the other gentlemans comment.
Respect the hackers here cause thay are the one's who beautify your boards without asking for a red cent from anyone. All they want is a "thank you" and a click in the upper right hand corner of your browser!
If you have any comments about their work they mostly provide assistance and that means a lot to me to see someone who sweat it out and also provide assistance! I'm a Developer myself and I know how they feel!
Willard Reece
10-24-2002, 04:16 AM
About the only thing you said here that I didn't do is scan the file before opening it.
I run the norton scan dailey on my pc and I also use 2003pro.
I had just ran norton about 2 hours before I downloaded the hack too. and my hd was good to go.
as far as repecting the writer of any hack, I thank them for it.
and as you say they the hackers keep our sites looking great with the new features they make.
when you said kill the noise about the virus I took it you were talking to me about the whole comment you wrote.
Anyway enough said. I like the hack and will keep on using it.
It does make thing easier on my site.

Tell me who is this virus :pirate:
no virus in it at all
anyway im a wondering hisquad if this is possible.
remove the flash bit for normal members but if your admin then u see the box with the flash in it.
I dont want members to upload flash wherever for security reasons or anything else but would still like the option for admins to have this.

But no one can hack any forums my flash except flash with action script.

HiSquad and guys
I might have found what caused this to look like a virus.
My isp move me to a new server yesterday morning and when I installed this hack, it might have set off something that was on the new server , for they have said they found a virus on it too.
I don't know how this could work like this but viruses work real strange sometimes.
And also to clear up my posting after thinking about it is, this only happened when I went to use it after I installed it. So not on my harddrive but on the server.
So I could be wrong about the zip being inflected.!!!!!

Re: the custom branded page, I just pointed out something that a lot of users might like to be aware of. Also, allowing users to post flash files poses a serious security risk. HiSquad didn't tell anyone in his original post, so I did the decent thng and alerted people to the problem.
LOL ok we suzzed is no virus and never was one now can anyone tell me if this is possible

No ... you're a classic jerk and I can tell from your remark you have this classic idea on how people should talk. Sounds pretty racist ... so what's the proper way?
The decent thing would have been to contact him on this without discrediting him inside his thread. As you see, no one's listening to you because they see what I see ... a lack of disrespect in your way of communication.
how am I supposed to be racist when you don't even know which race I am?!
I did tell him about the security risk with flash. People add their own ideas, modifications, etc. to people's threads all the time. What makes this any different?
People can talk how they like, but if we're being technical you accused me of taking drugs - possibly something that a classic jerk would say ;)
ok if someone reads this request can they make it so mods and admins are only ones to see the flash code and no one else sees it.
How about if mods and admins are the only ones allowed to post flash files? :)

A very nice hack, but I would recommend anyone using it remove both of the sound links too. They're nice features, but that means anytime someone attaches a music file, that file is constantly preloading everytime someone loads that page. That can be hell on dialup users... Or if the music file is on your server it will be like someone is downloading the entire file every time someone loads that page. I'm sure those features will be useful for some sites, but I would think it best not to include them on most.

10-27-2002, 09:14 PM
bravo :) great hack
but ...
the code replacement for the sound is not complete :
<param name="BACKGROUNDCOLOR" <br /><embed src="{param}" align="baseline" border="0" width="275" height="40" type="audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin" console="Clip1" controls="ControlPanel" autostart="true">
<b
as you can see, you have to change the bbcodereplacement field in the bbcode table to TEXT so there is no more limitation and it works anyway...
so please can you give us the complete code replacement ???
thanks
Merjawy
10-27-2002, 10:38 PM
no it won't load as anyone loads the page IF you changed the autostart like me to =false
autostart=false
ethics
10-27-2002, 11:52 PM
Very nicely done. I also appreciate the security posts. If nothing else, it offers everyone a choice whether to run with or without the Wav/Ram/Flash.
Kudos to all!
One silly question. In using Opera Browser the buttons are just grey unpressed buttons on top with no graphics/text.
Any ideas?

Not true... I tried that because I was thinking the same thing at first. I had a post with a 72 mb MP3 linked with the code and the next day I had gone over 50 gb of bandwidth on my MP3 server. Whether it is set to autoplay or not, it will still preload that file every time someone loads that page.

Misunderstood you.. I take it back.. in this case you are correct .. I was talking about playing.. but sure enough it will load non the less and that can be a major boobo with something like MP3s or large wav unlike streamed audio !!!

Welcome
In this week I will put Version 3 here
msimplay
03-12-2003, 02:31 AM
i haven't installed the hack yet but as i see it maybe setting ram files and wavfiles and links instead of inside the forum would be a better option because of bandwidth and same for flash ?
ok i just edited this post cuz i didn;t want to add another one and waste posts
anyway i just installed it, and i think the glow and shadow buttons could use some improvement eg, theres no color variation, eg text here
text here
and could use a spoiler tag
example can be seen at my site
http://www.wambam.net/Vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=201
however my button layout looks messy so i wanted to replace ur version and plus ur version has more features
