Oh!  Make sure the file is of the following extentions:


avi|mpeg|mpg|afx

Justin,

You the man!!!!!! It works! I have to say one hundred thank you's to  you man. I just added this in the line WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" AUTOSTART="false" CONTROLS="true" (I found it on the web) and the video loads with no problems.

One last thing Justin, and I give you my word I will not bug you like this anymore. Is there a way to do the same thing with music files?

Wgere: avi|mpeg|mpg|afx that is .... add more extentions (seperated by |)

Hey Justin,

This mod is working GREAT! But how can this be done and still the user can have the option of downloading the video to there computer as well along with viewing the video right in the post?

The GodFather

Ummm ... right under Posted on:  date ... there is a download link.

Hi Justin,

When I installed this new Mod the it no longer lets me download anything using the attachment link that you are talking about. How can I fix this?

Ummmm ... I donno, it should. 

Justin,

Here is the part of the code that I motified...

        if(-e "$uploaddir/$afile") {
            fopen(FILE,"$prefs/Hits/$afile.txt");
            @nump = <FILE>;
            fclose(FILE);
            chomp @nump;
            $nump = $nump[0]+1;
            if($afile =~ /(jpg|jpeg|gif|art|bmp|png|avi|mpeg|mpg|afx|wmv|asf)/) {
              $act = "views";
              fopen(ADD,"+>$prefs/Hits/$afile.txt");
              print ADD $nump,"\n";
              fclose(ADD);
              if($afile =~ /(avi|mpeg|mpg|afx|wmv|asf)/) { $extra .= qq~<tr><td align="center" valign="bottom">$hr<embed src="$uploadurl/$afile" autostart="false"></embed></td></tr>~; }
                  else { $extra .= qq~<tr><td align="center" valign="bottom">$hr<img src="$uploadurl/$afile" border="0"></td></tr>~; }
            } else { $act = "downloads"; --$nump; }
            $size = sprintf("%.2f",(-s "$uploaddir/$afile")/1024);
            $type = "KB";
            if($size > 1000) { $size = sprintf("%.2f",$size/1024); $type = "MB"; }
            $piclink = qq~
$aicon$messagedisplay[12]:</b> $afile</a> - $size $type ($nump $act)~;
        } else { $piclink = qq~
$aicon$messagedisplay[13] $messagedisplay[12]:</b> $afile~; }
      }





---end---

Now can you tell me why the attchment link is no longer working?

Yeah, go look at my code again ... I forgot to turn HTML off.  It messed the <a> link up. 

Thanks Justin,

It works fine now! You ROCK! 

Good. 

Justin,

One thing (I know I am a big pain) Is there a way that Eblah can put an icon or gif pic next to the Thread.gif to let members know it's a video file or thread.

On the MessageIndex?  No.  There may be replys with attachments in them, therefore it'd be unlogical.

Justin,

Maybe I worded it wrong. What I I'm trying to say is when someone makes a new thread with a video in it. Is there a way that the board can see it's a video (maybe by the file type like AVI, MPEG) and post a video.gif next to the thread.gif? I have seen this on other boards but they are ASP boards

Something like this gif below

Sure it's possible, but it'd be messed up.
