Flash Signatures
I know there are other forums like YaBB that allow you to have flash signatures with simple [flash 500,500]URL[/flash] tags. Can someone make a hack so that you can do that on vB and use it in your signature?
|
It's a huge security risk if you allow members to use their own flash files because flash files can contain scripts that can harvest passwords and other information. So be careful. :) You may have to physically check each flash file to verify them, and it's better that the flash files are uploaded rather than remote.

I think you can manage this just by adding a custom VB code. You'd have to get the HTML for the flash file to show up in IE, and just put {param} where it asks for the URL in the HTML.
Just looked some stuff up, and I think in simplest form the best thing to do would be create a custom vb code tag named flash or whatever you like. Tell it to replace the tag with Quote:

Hmmm, it didn't work. I used that as my code replacement, my tag as flash, and when I did something like [flash]URL[/flash] I had no luck :(
|
I had flash signatures on my board, but recently removed them.
As Erwin stated before, vbulletin and the hackers here frown upon using flash "period" because of the security risks. I found out first hand as I watched a member show me how it's done and it's nasty. |
Alright, well for now I can trust my members, and not many of them have flash sigs. Anywho, how did you do it?
|
How do you go about disabling/banning flash signatures? I would like to disable them on my forums.
Thanks - Abbas |
