INSTANT TXT/ HTML/ JAVA FILE FORUM INTEGRATION

Version 1.3 for vBulletin 3.x.x by Dr Erwin Loh

As the name suggests, this hack allows you to display any HTML file integrated into your forums automatically.

No file hacking! No template modifying! Just upload 1 file!

There is 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 - NOTE: the file name is case-sensitive.

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.

To let only certain usergroups see the page, instructions are in the PHP file on how to do it.

Installation- upload 1 file!

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!

Update

Version 1.1 - Made the the title of the forums show up in the page and the heading of the table if no title is set in the URL - if the title is set, the title is now also shown in the table heading.

Version 1.2 - added automatic navbar support.

Version 1.3 - reduce 1 query by caching template.

Enjoy!

This is the best thing since sliced bread. I loved it for vb2 and love it for vb3

Thanks!

Any news on the navbar front? If you don't have time to do it yourself, can you point us in the right direction to do it ourselves?

Thanks!

Nice Hack. Wold it be possible to use this hack to show Java Script in a post. For example I want to show a rss stream in a sticky post . I dont want a clickable link. Any help would be appreaciated.
The script is

Code:

<script language="JavaScript" src="http://jade.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/feed/feed2js.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wired.com%2Fnews%2Ffeeds%2Frss2%2F0%2C2610%2C40%2C00.xml&chan=n&num=4&desc=1&date=n&targ=n" type="text/javascript"></script>

Did you upload the wrong file or something?
The 1.3 version is the same as 1.2..

Maybe i am stupid but i really don't understand what this hack does.

Does anyone have any demos of it or screen shots?

It displays normal HTML pages so they look like they are within your forums.
So, for example, if you wanted to have a page showing the history of your forums, then create it in HTML, remove the <BODY> tag and everything above it. Then remove the </BODY> tag and everything after it.
Then save it to your forums as history.html and link to it using http://www.yourforums.com/directory-...ml&title=Forum History

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
