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.

Well done! Looks great. Yes, instead of using the standarderror template (which I use to make this hack extremely easy to use) you can use your own template, as long as you make the appropriate changes in the PHP file.

I understand how this could be used for one page to get rid of "Vbulletin message" and replace with lets says "WinXP help"...but is it possible to have hundreds of pages with custom titles where it says "Vbulletin message"

Thanks again

**Not a custom title but what I mean is replacing "Vbulletin message" with something different lots of pages

For instance if you have 3 page's

WinXP help.htm
WinXP tuning.htm
Winxp tweak.htm

**Eg; replace "Vbulletin mesage" with

"WinXP help"
"WinXP tuning"
"Winxp tweak"

**Would it be possible all these pages could have there own message or title where the "Vbulletin message" text usually appears?

**I do not want them all the same, I would like them to all be different if this is at all possible, thanks for the help yet again

[Erwin]

Make a new template called "html". Copy and paste the contents of "standarderror" into it.

Replace "vBulletin message" in the template "html" with $title.

Then, use this format for your URLs:

http://www.your-forums/forums/html.php?file=xxx.html&title=Your Title

It should work.

Thank you again Erwin for the quick reply, will try this later tonight when I have some free hours...appreciated

Erwin - the board I run is on an Intranet. There are various other servers that have html pages on them. Can you let me know how to include using the remote capability. I know you've mentioned you specifically created this hack without that functionality, but I'm not personally concerned about abuse as all board members are known / trusted.

If you're against posting here for general consumption, I'd really appreciate it if you could send me a private message.

Thx .

This is a great idea, and it wa sjust what I was looking for, but I don't think it works with vb 3.0. I get this error :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gettemplate() in /home2/mychildf/public_html/html.php on line 48

[Erwin]

Obviously it wouldn't work with vB3 - if you note the title, it says vB 2.3.0 - - vB 2 hacks will not work for vb 3 because of the totally different code.

[Intex]

Erwin - I'm using your hack heavily now for a lot of my external pages. Can you tell me how to include a who's online location for an individual page. I'm using Firefly's Who's Online hack, but I'm pretty sure this goes by the filename, in your case html.php and therefore would show the same location for each different html file.

I'm happy to do this manually in who's online, but just wanted some of your expertise / guidance beforehand and how I might go about it.

Thx.
