Is it possible? Is there any security issue? I am thinking of releasing this hack, but I am not sure about the demands and security issue on this.

History:

Originally, I have window media files played directly (inline) in phpbb. When I moved to vb, I tried to seek help from vb.com to modify their attachment system without success. I understand that Vb's attachment system for security purpose. Therefore, I have to find other means to achieve what I want. I come up with this hack when my board is at its infancy stage. It probably still is infancy because, it is used as a test and fun board when I am at work .


Requirement:

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.

Enut with the blah blah ??

Open your functions_showthread.php

for security concerns, in 3.07 in includes/functions_file.php i created a front end error page
nopermissionswf
you don't have permissions to upload flash files and after

PHP Code:
 if (!$attachtypes["$extension"] OR !$attachtypes["$extension"]['enabled'])
 {
  
// invalid extension
  
eval('$error = "' fetch_phrase('attachbadtype'PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');
  
$errors[] = array(
   
'filename' => $attachment_name,
   
'error' => $error
  
);
  return 
false
I placed (replace 4,1 with your userid allowed)

PHP Code:
if ($extension=='swf'){
if (!
in_array($bbuserinfo[userid], array(4,1))){
  
// invalid extension
  
eval('$error = "' fetch_phrase('nopermissionswf'PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');
  
$errors[] = array(
   
'filename' => $attachment_name,
   
'error' => $error
  
);
  return 
false;
}

That allows only certain users to upload flash files.

Thanks for a great hack. Example of usage

Any reason why we can not just do the same thing with html allowed using dynasrc?

I am only getting the thumbnail image of flash files. I am not getting any other file displayed.
Can I upload 3 video files in a single post?
