vb.org Archive - Show Thread Enhancements - Playing Attached Media Files Inline

What this hack does::

This hack allows your users to upload media files via your board file management and play the media fields within their post.. It is adivisable to have one inline per post.

Foreword:

This hack might not work on all system due to different configuration, platform, and such. I will try to help you all as much as I can.

This hack will use your board attachment system to run mp3, wma, wmv, flash files. It is a bit server intensive. So be warned

Security Risk:

It has been known that flash files can be used to exploit and compromise certain securities on user computer. You might want to verify your flash attachment before enable flash playing inline on your forum.

NOTE: This hack use your board attachment.php to play those specified media files. Therefore, you will have to set up user right to download attachement in under forum permissions.

Playing inline attachments under firefox has proven to be problemsome since I noticed firefox does not pass the cookie info in for the inline video playing. So if you want attachments to play inline in firefox you must set it so that guests can view attachements. (I am currently looking for fixes to this if possible)

This is a clean up and rerelease of this hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=99871

If you have that hack installed just install the product file and you will be good. If you have her one before that then follow her template reverses from that thread.

I tried to contact the author but they havent been on the site in well over a month. Pms and emails were unresponded to. I will remove this hack if the hack author requests.

Whats fixed:

Fixed the problem with attachments being shown multiple times when more then one of the same file type was uploaded in a single post.
Cached all the templates used by this hack.
