HTML, TXT, JAVA Integrator 2.0 Automatically display any HTML, TXT or JAVA file in vB

vB HTML, TXT, JAVA Integrator 2.0 - Automatically display any HTML, TXT or JAVA file integrated into vB - by Erwin

Upgraded for vB3:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=66084

Hack updated - made it even easier to install - upload 1 file, and you're done! Just change the URL parameters as needed. No need to add templates or edit files.

As the name suggests, this hack allows you to display any HTML file as integrated into your forums. No need to make a new template or PHP file. Easy way to incorporate rules, messages, web pages etc. into your forums.

All you need to do is to run this URL:
http://www.your-forums/forums/html.php?file=xxx.html

Where xxx.html is the HTML file you want to integrate into your forums. The file extension can be HTML, HTM, SHTML or even TXT (text files). You can add more file extensions by modifying html.php

This is also a quick way to integrate java applets into your forum (for example, java chat applets). Just copy and paste the java applet code into a HTML file, and then put the HTML file name into the URL above. Instant java integration!

For HTML files in subdirectories, use this URL:
http://www.your-forums/forums/html.p...ctory/xxx.html

By default, the title is the filename. To make a custom title in your forum page, use this URL:
http://www.your-forums/forums/html.p...tml&title=Your Title

You can have spaces in your custom title.

I have disabled remote file integration - this way other people cannot use this link to integrate offensive pages into your site.

Installation

1) Upload html.php into your forum directory.

2) Done!

3) Upload any HTML file or TEXT file into your forums directory, or sub-directory, and run the command line URL as listed above, and you'll see the file integrated into your forums automatically!

If you like this and want to receive updates, do press the "Install" link at the bottom of the thread.

Enjoy!

This version here is lets ALL users see the integrated HTML page. To let members only see the page, make the modifications listed in the next post.

Updates:

Version 1.1 - Added ability to add a custom page title to the integrated HTML forum page!

Version 2.0 - Removed the need to add a template. Just upload the file, and you're done.

A great hack indeed but how do I enable the remote file integration? Here is my application:

A central database is shared between several forums for the purpose of tracking scammers. Instead of giving each an authorized host and login account it would be much easier for them to integrate the search page into their forum (and give the appearance to their members that they never left the sanctity of their home).

Thanks in advance for the help!

I made this hack to specifically NOT work for remote servers to prevent malicious people from making other pages look as though it is coming from your site, that's all. So think about that carefully first - do you want someone posting a URL that makes it look as though your site is serving up porn?

Very understandable

In this case, however, I believe the mature nature of our membership will keep the number of incidents to a minimum. I would much appreciate your input as to how to allow remote file integration.

Thanks in advance!

It's simple - remove this line from the html.php file:

PHP Code:

  if( substr($file,0,5) != "./../" && substr($file,0,7) != "http://" ) return TRUE; 


Do this at your own risk - I will not be responsible for any misuse of this by malicious visitors to your site!

[Big Daddy Chemo]

Thank you very much!

Last question...what is the syntax for the file name if I want to point it to a specific file? I have tried listing the file name as http:// and without with an error on both. Any ideas?

Actually, I'm not going to support a version that would allow the integration of remote files, as this was never the intention of this hack. It's not hard to work out, but I won't do it, as it is too easily abused. Sorry.

I am trying to remember how I can strip the extention from the file.

so the URL looks like:

http://www.server.com/html.php?page=filename

rather than:

http://www.server.com/html.php?page=filename.extention

umm...i think you use...erg_replace...i am confused though, so any help would be greately appreciated! :bunny:
