This is my first mod for VB, I personally need it on my site because it's focus is MP3's, it may be able to be customized for other uses I would think. What it does is embeds Windows Media Player into the body of the post (as well as the regular attachment) using bbcode and plays the attached MP3 file. What this does upon completing the upload is allows the user to copy and paste the URL to the attached file if they choose.
Also, since this bbcode is the Windows Media Player it may also be able to play .avi, .wmv, .mpg etc. So to broaden this you can change the [MP3] [/MP3] tag to something else like [MEDIA] [/MEDIA] for example.
There is no option to secure this to specific groups, however you can use Princeton's Allow Group to Read Titles / Not Content modification as an alternative.
Better template formatting, also maybe add a javascript function so that a user can click to add the line of code to the post.
If you find this useful please
Update: Added an option to allow only certain groups to add the option to view/paste the URL in their post.
