Tigga - I've tried that and it doesn't work. Could this be because its in the News Section which is essentially pulled from the news forum? Even if this is the case, I've turned on HTML codes for that forum. It parses other codes, like < a href=, <H2> etc. etc. but no joy with flash.

This looks like an issue with vB, because if I turn on HTML for any forum, it doesn't work there either. I have a hack installed that shows flash files if they are attached and that works fine, so fundamentally flash does show.

If you look quickly at the post in the forum where I put all the flash code, it shows a little white box with a dot in it, indicating a missing graphic or something. There is nothing wrong with the flash code as I've tried calling it on another webpage outside the forum and it works fine.

Not sure where to look now :confused:.


P.S. This is the code I was using (I've tried using different relative and absolute paths):

Intex - Double check that you didn't have "Automatically parse URLs" checked when you posted the message. If you had that checked, it would add the [url tag around to parts of the message and result in a white box like you are describing.

Good thinking Tigga, but unfortunately even though I didn't have that unchecked it doesn't have the tags around it. I just went to the news forum and edit the post and the code inside is thus:

So it must be something else :confused:.

I've tried this in any forum and it produces the same result. I had a screengrabbing utilitiy that captured lots of frames, so I managed to get hold of it just as the little box flashed up and then disappeared when initially viewing the post.

Hmmm... I'm really not sure why it wouldn't work then. I tried posting some flash on my site and it worked fine. The best thing I could suggest would be to post on vB.com and ask them why the flash isn't showing up.

Yep. I'd done that just after posting my other one above, as its not really your problem anyway :). Thx. for the help regardless :).

slight problem , i currently installed myvbindex into my forum, when i go to it(www.dimensionforums.com/myvbindex.php )
it shows the following error :

Fatal error : Call to undefined function: convert_temp() in /home/dimensio/public_html/myvbindex.php on line 680

on line 680 in myvbindex.php the following code is shown:
above it :

This problem occured after resorting to your frequently asked questions within the readme, by performing solution #1 on the frequently asked questions .

Aswell i cannot get my forum and post ID because my forum is not set to i.e : sit/forum/ it is just set to www.dimensionforums.com

Any way possible to fix this? Your help is very much appritiated :)

CK2003 - You missed the 3rd file modification to your admin/functions.php file. If you modified that file correctly then you shouldn't have any problems.

thanks so much man, it works now, only problem i have is, how can i somehow set up an image to go with the other buttons on my forum leading it to vbindex? also how can i make it so that vbindex has a direct link to my forums?

and i have one more problem(hope this doesnt ++++ you off...)
but as you can see:

www.dimensionforums.com/main.php the header does not construct itself like in the forum for the other left half...:(

maybe you have a fix for these?

P.S- does anyone have any updated hacks for this? The ones listed dont seem to work because the lines of code in which to look for are incorrect...

How would I go about adding more pages other then index.php. Such as screenshots.php and such.

Ive been trying to figure this out on my own, but with no luck. Thanks, Symbonia
