vBengine · **Released**: 04-10-2002

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.
Screenshot 1: http://partylife.ch/misc/vbengine1.jpg

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.

Everything is clearly explained in the readme file.

Note!
I'd really like to get every feedback you guys can give me. Also post bugreports and suggestions to improve this script. If you have installed this hack, pls click on the install button to receive updates thru email. Thank you

great idea.

2 month ago I wrote a simple editor but I canceles the project because of needing write access to the directory.

PS: you put a wrong readme.txt into the zip.

ehm.. well you cannot get around the access thing. so if somebody wanna use this .. he has to give the write-access.

whats wrong with the readme-file? =)

I tried this and it worked fine except the php file it created was empty except for calls to the header, footer & engine templates... It also has a parse error when I try and load it, whether I create templates or not...

el3m3nt · #7 04-11-2002, 11:01 AM

ehm.. well did you create a new template or just add some code/text?

could you post the content of the created file?

RDX1 · #8 04-11-2002, 11:14 AM

i just thought of a security issue, since vb doesnt allow people to reset the admin log via the ACP and makes them edit the config file, this will allow people to reset the admin log

If I dont create a template I get this error:
Parse error: parse error in /home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/forums/test.php on line 13

If I create a template I get this error:
Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 48 is not allowed to access ./global.php owned by uid 504 in /home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/forums/test.php on line 4

have you created the engine template? the second error i dont really know. there seems to be several userids.. so the test.php must have the uid 504 too to get access.. but ehm.. sorry, i dont really know :/.

Ok I got rid of the errors but now it just makes a blank page...

This is the php:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

error_reporting(7);



require("./global.php");



eval("\$header = \"".gettemplate('header')."\";");

eval("\$footer = \"".gettemplate('footer')."\";");

eval("\$headinclude = \"".gettemplate('headinclude')."\";");



$title="TEST";

eval("\$page = \"".gettemplate('test')."\";");



eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('engine')."\");");



?>



and this is the html it generates:



<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<HTML><HEAD>

<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>

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