vBengine

Latest Version: 1.1

Yesterday evening i wrote this hack instead of studying math . Actually the code is not really difficult, but the hack itself can make many things much easier.

First feature: you can create new php-files thru your admin cp. You can choose if you wanna include the header and footer template and if you wanna create a new template for the content.

Second feature: The script reads all files in your forum and admin directory and you can choose one for editing. So you can edit every file thru the admin cp. This can be usefull for changing small things. You can also choose if you want a backup of the file you are editing.

wow! That is absolutely AWESOME! Thanks a million. I don't have FTP access at work where I have the time to do alot of my editing. It's nice to have this.

Looks awesome!

I wondered if someone could explain the security issue of having write permissions enabled? I am not that advanced and I'd just like to know if it's risky before I install this Thanks!

this is a great hack .. sorry to bring an old post up again ...

but is there anyway to only allow one admin to do this... i only want myself to be able to use this and not the other admins...

thanks in advance

I agree with Mist... another thing is can you make it to where we can upload like up to 5 files at a time... not mass, just 5 so we don't have to restart FTP each time.

hey is there a way to add a mod dir

i added

echo "<tr class='firstalt' valign='top'><td><p>Mod Directory:</p></td><td align=center><p>";
  echo "\n<select size=15 name=\"filename\">\n\t<option>------------------------------------------------</option>\n";

  $dir=opendir("./");
  while ($file=readdir($dir)) {
    if (is_dir("./".$file)) {
      $file="";
    } else {
      $file="\t<option value=\"$file\">$file</option>\n";
    }
    echo $file;
  }

  echo "</select>";
  echo "</p></td></tr>";

  makehiddencode("dir","mod");
  doformfooter("Edit");

under

echo "<tr class='firstalt' valign='top'><td><p>Admin Directory:</p></td><td align=center><p>";
  echo "\n<select size=15 name=\"filename\">\n\t<option>------------------------------------------------</option>\n";

  $dir=opendir("./");
  while ($file=readdir($dir)) {
    if (is_dir("./".$file)) {
      $file="";
    } else {
      $file="\t<option value=\"$file\">$file</option>\n";
    }
    echo $file;
  }

  echo "</select>";
  echo "</p></td></tr>";

  makehiddencode("dir","admin");
  doformfooter("Edit");

and under that i replaced

  if ($action=='read') {
if ($dir=="forum") {
$dirname="../";
} elseif ($dir=="admin") {
$dirname="./";

}

with

: if ($action=='read') {
if ($dir=="forum") {
$dirname="../";
} elseif ($dir=="admin") {
$dirname="./";
} else { ($dir=="mod") {
$dirname="./";
}

but it loaded the admin files in the mod bit can some one please help

Kewl, you think it would be possible to add in directories other than the /forums & /admin /mod etc?

[DrkFusion]

Seems very useful.

I will take a look at it
