Desktop Image Hack

Desktop Image Hack

What does this hack do? :)

It adds a place in your member profile for your desktop picture. You can submit your desktop picture at desktop.php so members, Can see your desktop picture in your profile. The picture will be resized at 339 x 250 pixels but if you click on it , it goes to The full size

It is a fun hack :classic:

Screenshots are in the next posts

Please be gentle it is my third hack

Here's a live demo:

How do you mean? :banana:

an example forum with it?

[Xyphen]

Very nice, keep up the good work, I might install it later on.

[Link14716]

Linked, such as http://freewebhost.com/image.gif

[afterlab]

Wow, could this be anymore like mine? ;)

[EchoHype.com]

if someone wants to see how it looks other than pictures, here's a live example: http://www.echohype.com/forums/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=1

[PSI|Dr-X]

:) i ripped the idea of your forum :) i liked that addon and ripped the idea:P

now i am busy on with a tutorial system

and yes you must specify a image url


working good i see ;)

[Dean C]

Hehe i mean that you upload a picture of your desktop image instead of linking it :)

Like the attachments system.

- miSt

[PSI|Dr-X]

Would you really want people to upload 120-150 kb pics to your host? I myself have a host that can easily handle that, but not everyone has that luxery :)

If you could, please give me credit as for the idea. The coding of yours I can see isn't ripped from mine, so it's clearly YOUR hack, however I would like credit for the idea somewhere within your hack (preferably in the installation file or post).

[EchoHype.com]

aka: I want hits :)

hehehe

I like mist's idea too, but the host uploading thing....ehh

[PSI|Dr-X]

Afterlab: i put your site + you name on the installation

[Kars10]

@ EchoHype, i have stolen your Desktop-Image!! :p
Looks, cool... :D

[EchoHype.com]

hahaha

foo! :) no prob, enjoy, hehehe

[PSI|Dr-X]

:) hehe i thought nobody would like this hack but i am impressed

[EchoHype.com]

hey psi, you could add the link I posted here- https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=360147#post360147

in the first post of this thread as a live demo :)

[PSI|Dr-X]

ok i'll add it as live demo

[EchoHype.com]

cool :) btw, love the hack, i'm working on a few modifications for it to be in usercp/who's online locations.

[joeboo]

Oh ho.. very nice hack. I was thinking of making this myself, but, why not use this. Cheers. :)

[PSI|Dr-X]

no problem. :)

[LOD-squa]

Yes, what I was looking for. Thank you for the hack.

[Opie]

What will the look like if my user profile fields don't look like the demo? Or does this make it look like the demo? ( I want my user profiles to look like that demo)

[EchoHype.com]

The demo is my forum. The coloring and such is customized to mine.

Much work went into those works :) much to go still, never done, heh

[Sebastian]

cool hack, but it'll only be useful for me if my members were able to upload an attachment of their own. Most of them don't have a webserver to link off of, anyway. So I would like the idea of hosting the image for them.

Well if you really want that i can give you the code for it and where under you most place it but now i have to got school (Holland) i'll post it then

[Sebastian]

so how hard will it be to have an option for members to upload an image? I know nothing about GD and uploads =\

[PSI|Dr-X]

it will be easy ill attach an anoter instuctions for with image upload *it will be stored in images/desktops/*

[Dean C]

Sounds good PSI|Dr-X ! :)

- miSt

[PSI|Dr-X]

Im busy with it right now ;)

[Vivi Ornitier]

hey exactly where do i submit the picture? Am i suppose to add a link somewhere on the forums. I goto url.com/desktop.php and add my URL but it just popups a blank screen after that. . . . and wat's goin on.

[PSI|Dr-X]

You must press ok not enter ..... lol

[EchoHype.com]

I"m working on a simple mod to add the links to be easily accesible to change your image in your CP, as well as adding who's online locations for this too.

nothing big, but useful

[gopherhockey]

Not sure why people would want to see other people's desktop images... (???) - however, I can see using this to let people post other types of pictures. My site deals with mountain biking, so perhaps pictures of their bikes or something like that.

Interesting though.

I can see if users are allowed to upload images directly it could cause storage problems - you'd have to be able to check image sizes and then would be getting into imagemagick types of issues..

I suppose a user could offer an anonymous ftp site to place the pictures then give directions on how to submit a link. Hmmm..

[EchoHype.com]

PSI- you may want to add these 2 things to the install file or first post. Please credit me though :) maybe with a link to me forums, hehe.

In user option templates > modifyprofile

find:
$customfields

add below:
tr>
<td bgcolor="#1C5780"><normalfont><b>Desktop Image:</b></normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="#1C5780"><normalfont><a href="http://www.yourforumURL.com/desktop.php">Add/Change DeskImage</a></normalfont></td>
</tr>

In online.php find:
case 'gallery':
$userinfo[where] = "Viewing Picture <a href='gallery.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'>Gallery<a>";
break;

add below:
case 'desktopimage':
$userinfo[where] = "Adding/Changing <a href='desktop.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'>Desktop Image<a>";
break;

find:
case 'gallery.php':
$userinfo[activity] = 'gallery';
break;

add below:
case 'desktop.php':
$userinfo[activity] = 'desktopimage';
break;


works on my forums. Have fun!

[Serge]

You another cool and interactive idea is there is a free program that will take random screens of your desktop and then upload them to your webspace that would be cool in intergrate that idea into this hack. But that would take some really hard work to get done.

[EchoHype.com]

random screens and upload them to your webspace......hmm......that'd be like a live webcam eh? but taking desk screenies.

I like that idea....maybe I"ll talk it over with my guys and may do it.

good idea serge!

[LOD-squa]

for

<tr>
<td bgcolor="#1C5780"><normalfont><b>Desktop Image:</b></normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="#1C5780"><normalfont><a href="http://www.yourforumURL.com/desktop.php">Add/Change DeskImage</a></normalfont></td>
</tr>

You can use

<tr>
<td bgcolor="#1C5780"><normalfont><b>Desktop Image:</b></normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="#1C5780"><normalfont><a href="$bburl/desktop.php">Add/Change DeskImage</a></normalfont></td>
</tr>

or use remove the $bburl and leave it has desktop.php

[EchoHype.com]

true true, I just have a passion for typing the full URL :)

[LOD-squa]

Lol, I am used to doing the same thing.

well, it doesn't have to be desktop pictures, it can be naked pictures if you'd like.. there are no limits..

as for space.. well, most of don't have 100MB of webspace you know.... I have an entire 60GB drive to myself, as with most others with dedicated servers.

I had already done that modify profile but anywayz thnx :)

I will be really soon attaching the new updated hack its delayed cuz i most format my computer of a virus :)

[Xyphen]

Can you make an addon that users can choose to upload or specify a url?

[Zzed]

I released a similar hack to this last year...

Image in profile (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38258)

[PSI|Dr-X]

Avio i had formatted everything of that computer and i am gonna install that computer tommorrow so then i can begin coding ;) *on this computer my server doesn't works*

[ElmGoodie]

Is there a chance you could tell me how to also be able to use this on the fourmhome?

[KISS]

How about a option in the postbit or something that would show if the user has added his desktop for viewing.

Like:

Desktop Available or Desktop Not Available.

[Harlequin]

I asked the same thing about the Image In Profile hack by Zzed (another great hack tryin' to accomplish the same thing as this one is :)) and I think it merits the same thing here.


How would someone go about making a preview for this 'desktop image' in the usercp? [In a table like a signature preview or the subscribed threads, on the main usercp page.]

[Keyser S?ze]

he means so ppl can upload the desktop pic, like in the sig hosting hack, or attachments

also what would be GREAT is if in the profile view, the desktop pic is small like in vb3 attachment views, and then u click it to see the bigass pic

that would be cool, dunno if imma install this one, ppl will complain too much "i aint got no where to host my pic " :(

[Harlequin]

Oh. <insert shwing here> Duuuh.

To answer my question previously a post or two above (if anyone else was interested), use: <IMG SRC="$bbuserinfo[fieldx]">, whereas 'x' is the field number of the profile http:// link the user inputs.

Man it's been one of those days. Sorry for the clutter.
