Vbimghost ver 2.0.0

[Ranma2k]

VB Image Hosting Version 2.0.0

This is the port for my hack to vb 4.0.x You can see the old ver of vbimghost 1.0.1 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123481)

Note: I don't not recommend using it as a new hack, since Albums in the vbulletin does the same thing even better. this is mainly to people who used vbimghost on previous version and want to use it on vb 4.0.x

The port is just modification to the the template ( Not fully CSS ) and supporting the new plug ins .

A converter for vbimghost to vbulletin albums is under development. and will be included here when it's done. Requirements:

requires GD 2.0.1 or later (2.0.28 or later is recommended).
PHP ver 4.3.x or later (newer ver is better).

good job

[dodgechargerfan]

Thanks very much for this! My imagehosting has been sitting in limbo, waiting for this update.

Everything is working fine except for rebuilding thumbnails. I get this error:

Warning: getimagesize(/home/user/public_html/forums/imagehosting/3440cd97e04ed3.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/*******/vbimghost.php on line 280

Note that the ******* is there to hide my renamed admincp.

As for the converter to move to albums, that is an interesting thought.
If I can suggest that the default privacy setting for pictures be private.
The reason - for me- is that I use another mod that puts random album pictures on FORUMHOME. That's not something we'd necessarily want to happen with the images in our imagehosting app.
We tend to use imagehosting to host files that we then link in to specific posts rather than for a browsable album sort of thing.

Thanks again!!

[dodgechargerfan]

GACK!
Never mind. Just noticed that the path changed to the default.

Since I've had this mod installed for some time, I didn't expect that to get changed, so I forgot to check it...

Sorry. :P

[hiker]

I was looking for a way to be able to hotlink some of my images to other forums, doing a little campaigning. In phpbb I could get the .jpg address of my attachments, but in vbulletin I can't.

Rather, it gives me the attachment ID, and a lot of forum software can't interpret this.

Would this addon help my users obtain the .jpg / .gif / .png...... url addresses from their attachments, such as in an easy right click and "copy image location"?

Thanks.

[Switch3130]

Very nice work with this...this actually was the last mod I needed upgraded so i appreciate it.

[hilfe-forum]

Must uninstall this useful Adon..
This ad a new Tab in Navbar thats soooo bad to much Adons make this. :rolleyes:

yes it gives you an images url not as attachment

[roadrunna]

Has anybody else had a problem with this and comments in the CMS system ?

It seems that when a comment is added to an article with the Image Hosting product turned on it white screens.

Turning off the plugins one by one shows it to be a conflict on the "My Photo post bit" plugin with the "showthread_postbit_create" hook.

Any ideas ?

Thanks for still supporting this and huge thanks for the recent update. I had some warning errors on my template which may explain why, but I don't have the image hosting on the Quick Reply feature yet. I will look into it later this evening when I have time.

Again, this update is very much appreciated, my forum users will be extremely pleased.

i get this error message if i activate the mod and go to the CMS Comments.

Been waiting for this, upgraded mad easily as well. Thank you!

[tweakmonkey]

I have installed the 2.0 version and it still works for some purposes, not for others.

The main gallery where you can upload several files (eg: /forums/vbimghost.php?do=myimages&pp=20&page=1) works fine.

Using the Quick Upload feature shows a blank page once the image would be done (it IS added to the gallery, but there's no confirmation message and the code does not appear in the Post Reply box.

Also, using the "Open" button here loads the gallery, but clicking the images does not put the code into the textbox.

Here's the code for the link:
div id="vbimghostlinks">[<a href="#" onclick="window.open('vbimghost.php?do=popup&ed=vB_Editor_001','vbimghost1','scrollbars=yes,res izable=yes,width=550,height=500'); return false" title="Pick">Open</a>]&nbsp;[<a href="#" onclick="window.open('vbimghost.php?do=popupload&ed=vB_Editor_001','vbimghost2','scrollbars=yes,res izable=yes,width=562,height=97'); return false" title="Upload">Quick Upload]</a></div>





Edit
Ah! It works fine with the WYSIWYG editor, but not the enhanced. Also the quick links do not appear with Quick Reply at all. I'll keep reading :)

[clarkstoncracke]

I have over 15,000 images uploaded using vbimghost. My problem is so many users have deleted files that I get 2-5 404 errors each minute because the server is trying to pull up a missing file (since it was deleted).

Is there any way to fix this, such as replacing all deleted images with a small image file automatically when someone deletes a file?

Fixed it :)

Find the plugin "My Photo post bit".

Change the plugin code to :-

$rec = vB::$db->query_read("
SELECT count(*) mark
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."vbimghost
WHERE userid='".$post['userid']."' and imgprivate='0'
");
$row = vB::$db->fetch_array($rec);
$post['vbimghost']=$row['mark'];

Basically the "$vbulletin->" is replaced with "vB::$"

[paulbhoy]

that seems to have fixed it, thanks!!

[Ocean-Wonders]

Getting errors all over the place with this and I can't delete any images etc.

Use the phrase manager and search for the text, that's what I did so we could change ours

[ctimes]

How are you guys getting it to show up in the editor? My navbar link works fine but id like it in the reply and quick reply forms if possible. am i missing something?

I don't think the mod caters for that, although would be a good idea.

On a side has anyone else had issues with the thumbnails displaying at the correct size?

[indy1979]

I have a few questions.

When I upgraded our forum, I also moved domains. Now all of the Image Host images inserted into posts have the old domain name. Any way to update these posts?

Is there any way to make Image Hosting read only? What I mean by that is to force users to upload new pics into the Albums feature while still having access to their images in the Image Hosting part.

Thanks!

[Twikitero]

Hello, thank you very good and very useful mod.

But I have the following problem when activating watermark.png.

¿Any solution?

Is there a converter to convert the imghost images into the album yet? I'm thinking of upgrading to vb 4.0 soon and I'm still deciding on whether to keep this mod or just move onto the albums since most people on my forum uses the album anyway but I just don't want to lose the 2000 or so images in the imghost mod right now.

4.1.7 to work?

[MalluParadise]

4.1.7 to work?
no my friend

[dodgechargerfan]

I've been enjoying this mod for a long time, but it seems it has broken the comments for CMS with the latest vBSuite upgrade (to 4.1.8) - at least that's when I noticed the problem.

Disable this mod and errors go away. Very strange.

Anyway, I saw a little glimmer of hope in this sentence: "A converter for vbimghost to vbulletin albums is under development. and will be included here when it's done."

Any news on this converter?

Thanks for the great mod, by the way.

[ThomasR]

I guess we won't see the converter? It's just to know if I must find a way to announce that to my forum members :)

[indy1979]

Any updates for the converter? I'd really like to get everything moved over into Albums and uninstall this mod.

Thanks!

[Nirjonadda]

Its not working on 4.1.10

[Miyuki419]

Will it work on 4.1.7? We used to use it on vb 3.6.

[josantos]

New version for 4.2 ? Please ....

[Father Juan]

Any updates for the converter? I'd really like to get everything moved over into Albums and uninstall this mod.

Thanks!

*bump*

[indy1979]

Ok, I'm getting sick of waiting for a "Conversion Tool". Here is what I've come up with so far...

First, I went in the DB and exported the vb_vbimghost table as a CSV. I then edited the CSV to have the following columns (userid, imageName, imageURL)

With the new CSV in hand, I wrote the following script to download all of the users' images in to a separate directory matching their userid.

#!/bin/bash
INPUT=./inputfile2.csv
OLDIFS=$IFS
IFS=,
testCol=222
[ ! -f $INPUT ] && { echo "$INPUT file not found"; exit 99; }
while read col1 col2 col3
do
curl --create-dirs $col3 -o ./$col1/$col2
done < $INPUT
IFS=$OLDIFS


Now I have a directory structure of $userid/$imagename

This is as far as I've gotten. If someone knows how to force an upload in to the Albums portion of VB4 as a specific userid, please feel free to update.

*EDIT*

At this point, I'm not at all worried about breaking existing links on other websites. I'd rather take the heat for that than not being able to upgrade my board because of a heavily used mod.

[Alex@Mk3OC]

Anyone got this working on 4.2? Only think I can't sort is the navbar

[alzaabi]

how to make this work on vb 4.20

[XGC Paravain]

Where can I go to view the path to my forums so I can just copy and paste the path in the settings? Yes I got the 404 error

[XGC Paravain]

I found my path and still getting the message 404 not found is this thread active?

[indy1979]

Ok, since its pretty evident that no one is working on this mod anymore and it breaks with the install of 4.2, I am providing how I am transitioning my users away from this mod so that I can upgrade my board.

Follow the instructions I posted above to get a directory structure of all of your users images inside the image hosting mod.

Next, I ran the following script and input the parent directory holding all of the userid directories as an input to script.

#!/bin/bash

IFS=$'\n'

for f in $(find "$1" -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d ); do
zip -r "$f" "$f"
done


Here is my command to run the script:
./zipSEDSM.sh SEDSMConversion

After the script runs, you will have a zip file of each of the userid directories. Now move all of these zip files into a directory on your server that is preferably inside your forum directory. In my case I put all of the zip files in to a folder called IHBackup so that my url to access it would be http://www.domain.com/IHBackup/xxx.zip.

Now that we have the backup done, it's time to give the users access to their zip files.

Go to AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager

Select Edit Template for each style you are offering your users.

Expand Member Info Templates and double click MEMBERINFO

Search for:
<vb:if condition="$show['contactlinks'] AND $show['pmlink']">

and add above it:

<li>
<a href="IHBackup/{vb:raw prepared.userid}.zip"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_siteicons}/homepage.png" class="inlineimg" />Download Image Hosting Archive</a>
</li>

While we are in the template editor, scroll down to vbimghost_navbits and edit it.

Change:

<li><a href="vbimghost.php?do=upload">{vb:phrase vbimghost_menuupimg}</a></li>

to

<!--<li><a href="vbimghost.php?do=upload">{vb:phrase vbimghost_menuupimg}</a></li>-->

This will prevent users from uploading new images in to the mod and force them to use the Gallery/Album feature.

Now go to AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager

Scroll down to the VB Image Hosting section and uncheck all of the checkboxes except for vbimghost_navbits and click Save Active Status.

VB Image Host should now be somewhat disabled/restricted so that users will only be able to look at the contents of it. They will also now have a link to download the archive of their hosting information.

I basically told my users that they can download their images and reupload them into their albums if they want to reuse them. Albums also provides the external link for them.

[M.C.]

Note: I don't not recommend using it as a new hack, since Albums in the vbulletin does the same thing even better. this is mainly to people who used vbimghost on previous version and want to use it on vb 4.0.x
Hmmm.. so may be there is album uploader can be done to be able to upload images via quick reply/reply/new thread form and insert them into message?

First, I went in the DB and exported the vb_vbimghost table as a CSV. I then edited the CSV to have the following columns (userid, imageName, imageURL)

With the new CSV in hand, I wrote the following script to download all of the users' images in to a separate directory matching their userid.

#!/bin/bash
INPUT=./inputfile2.csv
OLDIFS=$IFS
IFS=,
testCol=222
[ ! -f $INPUT ] && { echo "$INPUT file not found"; exit 99; }
while read col1 col2 col3
do
curl --create-dirs $col3 -o ./$col1/$col2
done < $INPUT
IFS=$OLDIFS
Now I have a directory structure of $userid/$imagename

This is as far as I've gotten. If someone knows how to force an upload in to the Albums portion of VB4 as a specific userid, please feel free to update.

*EDIT*

At this point, I'm not at all worried about breaking existing links on other websites. I'd rather take the heat for that than not being able to upgrade my board because of a heavily used mod.

What did you end up doing? I am looking into a similar issue. I have a client who has the database table and files only and would like to move those into the albums system.

Is there still any interest in a converter?

I'm in the middle of writing one for my board because it is necessary. It's probably still a couple of weeks away depending on how much time I get to work on it, and it will be ugly. I'm at a point that I need to decide if I write for one time use for my site only or if it is going to be released into the wild.

I've written a vbImagehost converter and it is posted in modes here

It is impossible to attach images to a post if you click on them they aren't inserted. I recall somehow fixing this bug myself in a previous version.

Does anyone have a solution?
