Playing Windows Media Files Inline · **Released**: 09-16-2005

This just a port over from my existing hack for version 3.0.x

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=78235

What this hack does::

This hack allows your users to upload media files via your board file management and play the media fields within their post.. It is adivisable to have one inline per post.

Foreword:

This hack might not work on all system due to different configuration, platform, and such. I will try to help you all as much as I can.

This hack will use your board attachment system to run mp3, wma, wmv, flash files. It is a bit server intensive. So be warned

Security Risk:

It has been known that flash files can be used to exploit and compromise certain securities on user computer. You might want to verify your flash attachment before enable flash playing inline on your forum.

I'm working on it at the moment as I don't have avi set up yet - testing to make sure it works - did you edit the xml file? This launches the player.

cbr929rrerion · #23 10-31-2005, 08:10 PM

I am not very good at that..

If anyone can get avi and mpg and wvm to work I would love it..

davidw · #24 10-31-2005, 08:19 PM

Ok here's the sample: http://www.christianboards.org/showt...=2252#post2252

davidw · #25 10-31-2005, 08:26 PM

Here's the instructions on how I did it...

I'm using this loosely for avi as examples on how to edit; replace with the appropriate file type

In your class_postbit.php file

Find:

PHP Code:


			
// wma attachment
    global $wmaid,$wmafilename,$wmaextension,$wmafilenameandlocation,$wmafilesize;

Add after:

PHP Code:


			
// avi attachment
    global $aviid,$avifilename,$aviextension,$aviafilenameandlocation,$avifilesize;

(replacing wma with avi in each)

Find:

PHP Code:


			
            //wma attachment
            $wmaid=$post['userid'];
            $wmafilename=$attachment['filename'];
         $wmaextension=$attachment['attachmentextension'];                                     
         $wmafilenameandlocation=$media_controller . $attachmentid ;            
            $wmafilesize=$attachment['filesize'];

Add after:

PHP Code:


			
            //avi attachment
            $aviid=$post['userid'];
            $avifilename=$attachment['filename'];
         $aviextension=$attachment['attachmentextension'];                                     
         $avifilenameandlocation=$media_controller . $attachmentid ;            
            $avifilesize=$attachment['filesize'];

(replacing wma with avi in each)

Find:

PHP Code:


			
                     case 'wma':
                         eval('$this->post[\'wmaattachments\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_attachmentwma') . '";');                     
                         $show['wmaattachment'] = true;                     
                     break;

Add after:

PHP Code:


			
                     case 'avi':
                         eval('$this->post[\'aviattachments\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_attachmentavi') . '";');                     
                         $show['aviattachment'] = true;                     
                     break;

(replacing wma with avi in each)

Postbit template edit (I use postbit legacy, you'll have to compare to postbit for the changes)

Find:

PHP Code:


			
<if condition="$show[wmaattachment]">
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[attach_wma] $wmafilename</legend>

<div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
$post[wmaattachments]
</div>
</fieldset>

</if>

Add after:

PHP Code:


			
<if condition="$show[aviattachment]">
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[attach_avi] $avifilename</legend>

<div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
$post[aviattachments]
</div>
</fieldset>

</if>

(replacing wma with avi in each)

ADMINCP - Attachments - Extensions & Sizes - Add New Extension

Extension: avi
Max Filesize(in bytes) 5000000 (or whatever you want
Mime Type: Content-type: video/x-ms-avi
Display thumbnail for this type? No
Open this attachment in a new browser window? No (Really this is your choice)
Enabled Yes

XML edit

Add this after one of your templates: (It will end in </template>)

PHP Code:


			
<template name="postbit_attachmentavi" templatetype="template" date="1125000000" username="christianb" version="3.5.0">

Don't forget to update your phrase manager:

Add New Phrase

Phrase Type: Global
Varname: attach_avi
Text: AVI (doesn't really matter - shows up in your legend)

AdamMarrer · #26 11-01-2005, 04:04 AM

After making these changes I can't upload these two file formats, after upload is done it just rests the screen never showing the attachments. Any ideas?

davidw · #27 11-01-2005, 09:39 AM

wmv was part of the default code, you shouldn't have had to change anything for that file format.

cbr929rrerion · #28 11-01-2005, 11:59 AM

th default code did not work.. all that was displayed was a ling to it, still had to click and download it.. any ideas where its wrong?

davidw · #29 11-01-2005, 12:37 PM

Have you checked your message attachment options in AdminCP?

vBulletin Options -> Message Attachment Options

View Attached Images Inline - Yes or Yes, if post has only one attachment

Also, are your attachments currently being stored in the filesystem or database? Not sure, but this might make a difference.

cbr929rrerion · #30 11-01-2005, 01:51 PM

yes show attachements and file system..

davidw · #31 11-01-2005, 04:04 PM

The only thing I can think of is to uninstall it - make the changes - reinstall it.
I don't understand why it wouldn't work on your site, as it does work on mine - unless there's another setting I've overlooked.
