Instant Txt/ Html/ Java File Forum Integration

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!

Great hack, Erwin and very useful.
However I want to use it to display the results of a dynamic php script. Is this possible?
For example, I have set up a php script called hcc_reviews.php at
http://www.avforums.com/forums/hcc_reviews.php
which works fine.
It's contents are simply:

PHP Code:

<?php
include("http://www.homecinemachoice.com/cgi-bin/reviews_for_avforums.php");
?>

But if I call html.php with file=hcc_reviews.php, I get our forum template round nothing.

http://www.avforums.com/forums/html....cc_reviews.php

Do you know why and how to make it work?
Please help!!!!
Thanks

This hack is to integrate static files like HTML or TXT, not other dynamic PHP files.

Hi Erwin,

I know you noted that you have disabled remote file integration, but is there a way that the html file to be included could be remote so long as it's still on the same server? I have many html cached files I would like to include but they don't reside in subdirectories. In fact they are in different subdomains. (forum is in http://forum.mydomain.com, other good stuff is in http://news.mydomain.com; http://etc.mydomain.com

If no, what does it take to re-enable remote file integration?



Regards,

Matt

Dr Erwin, Sir, is how would I include use of the pages using this hack in the who's online information?
I.e. by using the page title?

Can you set Variables in this hack? know you said static.
Ie <if $user ect.... or $home_smallfooter

thanks.

I am having some problems getting some javascript to work with this hack. I created a html page with a javascript game on it, and when I go to the html page alone it works fine, but when I try to call it up by using the html.php and embed it in my site the javascript is disabled. Java applets work fine, and some javascripts work fine, but not all of the javascripts that I have tried are working with this hack. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
