thanks

while i'm not sure about media files, flash files are a huge secruity risk i would suggest you note that in your initial post

can i make it avelable to any usergroups i want?
it well be great :)
thx alot

i dont get whats the difference from using just bbcodes for both instead of hacking the files

Nice hack, wrong forum.

Show thread modifications would be more appropriate.

Hi..
It looks like a nice hack IF it will allow you to play ONLY media files (different formats: mp3, wav, wmv, au, rm, mov..etc.) because it is well known and tried before the security risk arising from playing flash files stored on your domain.. unless we can find a solution like to be able to store attachments on a different domain -or sub domain- and then try to call it from VB..
I am not a coder.. but I thaught 'll share my idea..

This hack uses attachment system on vb. You can set the permission there.

Flash files are cached to member's computer. If you don't want flash files being played on your board, then disable that section.

With bbcode:

You have to upload the files on your forum thru certain means like ftp, or the like.

Then you have to use bbcode for the link

With this one:

You use the vb built in attachment system.

you dont have to upload the files threw ftp to use the bbcode for a video or flash file you can just upload it threw the attachment system and link the attachment in the bbcode. i know it works that way on my board. :ermm:
