Well, I have been bouncing around between sites, and googling and reading and posting to find a good MOD for phpBB that would allow the users to upload a video file as an attachment and then have it embedded and playing just like the youtube video, but instead locally.
This will allow for users to upload videos that they have and not necessarily just sitting on youtube, vimeo, google video etc.
I have seen a few that will upload and play wmv and not avi, something else and not the other. Maybe someone is working on a a full mod with instructions on how to do this simple task.
As soon as find one I will let you know. OR someone might post a comment here steering me in the right direction.
One of the best MODs I have seen so far for phpBB3 is the ReIMG Image Resizer 1.0.1 by DavidIQ. It is also the most popular MOD (by downloads) at the phpBB MOD site.
If you want to see what it does then here is a cool example of it. Click on the second picture in this post and then click on the magnifying glass with a plus sign at the top right hand corner of the picture. You will notice how nicely the image is maximized based on the screen resolution, hence allowing you to view details of very large pictures within the forums’ posting.
If you have a phpBB forum then this is a must have for you. The installation instructions provided are very clear and accurate. Don’t forget to refresh the templates etc and clear the cache at the end.
