Flash Gallery Hack v 1.1
 

New version 1.1 released, screenshots and what's new in the new version available here.

This is an extension of Erwin's Flash player hack. It creates a semi-database-driven gallery for all games/movies you have available with information such as author of Flash, size of file, thumbnail, link to run the file, username (if available) of person that sumbitted it, and a link to a leaderboard if available (currently only the Tetris available from john.eovie has that).

The Flash file controls work pretty much like the announcement ones (I got most of the code from there), and are very simple.

There are only two edits to files (an entry for Who's Online and inserting a link to the options in the admin control panel), plus an optional edit if you want to be able to prevent certain groups/people from using the gallery.

This is designed for vB 2.2.6 only, I did not test it with any other version of the board, technically it should work, but I cannot promise anything. This is my first hack as I am new to PHP, but I have done extensive testing to this and will try to help solve any problems if they arise to the best of my knowledge.

Thanks to Fallout2Man for helping me a lot with this hack.

Screenshots coming up in the next posts.

PS. Working version available here.

This is the window for making a new entry.

This is how it looks in the control panel navbar.

This is the modify option.

Edit screen.

Interesting....I may just install Erwins hack because of your addition. Good job, it looks pro
:p

Nice hack. But im not gonna use erwins flash player hack. I will have no need since im getting johns arcade hack.

Thanks, velocd, I still have many features to implement for an updated version (including possibly encrypting and storing the thumbnails and files in the database).

PS. If you have john's Tetris hack, I have instructions in the end of the installation instructions to make the gallery give a correct link for it instead of the flash.php one without any coding.

If you have any suggestions for the next version, please post them.

I like the look of this :)
