VB-O-GRAM ....... Site Promotional Tool

[trafix]

And you thought that greeting cards had died ....... think again! ... lmao

This hack will add a not-so-unique feature to you community in the form of a great promotional tool

It can display both normal images and flash files (.swf)

1 file edit
1 template edit
2 new db table

This hack uses and includes a copy of the [HIS] Hack Installer System (Build 3)
released by Link14716 and can be found here --> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71542

The admin area here is basicly a copy of the vB Jukebox.
You can upload all your images and flash files from your browser :)

I have not included any permissions so both your members and guests can send -O-GRAMS to promote your site

in the pic you will see that i called mine Trafix-O-GRAM .... however in the admin options you can call it whatever you like

ahhh what the hell here is the demo .... go look for yourself ..... but you cant register as it is a dev forum but i think it should be fine your your testing. i only have the one flash file and i have used some crappy images to test with. http://srv01.orpbus.com/~admin152/upload/vb_o_gram.php?do=main&imageid=12

I will reserve the first few posts to add links at a later stage to member flash file contributions ;)

OOOPS .... nearly forgot .... Please click INSTALL

UPDATE ... fixed install quirie

[trafix]

reserved

[defi]

Looks really awesome, will try this out tomorrow.

Question, are you able to edit the images and flash files in the admincp?

[trafix]

yep ... you can edit and add new images in the admin ... you can even upload them from your browser :)

[kall]

yep ... you can edit and add new images in the admin ... you can even upload them from your browser :)
Your instructions say to use vbogimages as the folder name, yet that isn't what is called by the scripts..its actually vbogram . :)

Aside from that, nice idea! (I just wish I could work out how to stop things overflowing on my fixed width styles.)

[trafix]

will ..... hehe ... you can call it whatever you like ... just make sure the folder name is in the admin options ;)

[yoyoyoyo]

amazing job! I will install this one later in my test forum, and see how she flys :D

[docvader]

You're like the energizer bunny with your prolific hacks, LOL. And, btw, the email I sent via your system got snagged by my Norton Internet Security as spam.

I love it.

Will install tomorrow. Got suggestions for some flash files that we can use?? Such as a library of stuff that we can choose from?

[trafix]

Trafic you are amazing. :) This looks great, will test it later this day

[Floris]

Once again you smile at trafix and he performs. Good job my friend. Nice hack.

[Intex]

Nice work trafix.

/me adds to install list.

[trafix]

* trafix blushes
Thanks for all your head swelling comments ....

A wasnt sure if this sort of hack would be used and e-greetings are sort of old hat now .... i think we could bring them back into fashon :)

ENJOY!

[agiacosa]

Silly question, but is this kinda like a refer site to friend hack?

[trafix]

i havnt seen that hack ...... but thay are both site promotional tools ;) ... and we can all do with more of that.

this hack is based on e-greetings cards

[TwinsX2Dad]

Before I go and hose anything up, I just wanted to clarify something here - I run the installer, THEN create the vboimages folder and the adminscp/index.php edits and the template edits?

Maybe I need to have some more coffee before I try this? :)

[wwesn1]

Silly question, but is this kinda like a refer site to friend hack?

actually, when a member sends it does it include their referal link so they get the credit if a new member joins?

[yoyoyoyo]

Here are a few suggestions:
1) Word censor/spam controls for outgoing e-mail, even if there are no censors on the forum :)
2) Limit threshold (only 1 VB-O-GRAM every so many seconds/minutes per user), could even have different settings for different usergroups.
3) Option to save a copy of all outgoing VB-O-GRAMS to a specified file/location for later review (could be a security issue, and could be abused, but could also be used in case of someone sending death threats via your VB-O-GRAM, for example). Or if not saving a copy - save a list of the to & from e-mail and title & time/date stamp.
4) Option to ban certain addresses or domains from receiving VB-O-GRAMS (such as whitehouse.gov, etc., for the same reasons noted above)

[docvader]

Trafix,

Stayed up all night looking for swf files to include in this potentially wonderful communication method.

My girlfriend hates you.

Anyway, tried to install it this morning, and got this during install:

I know that it is extremist thinking, but I deal alot with computer security issues for a living, so when I see something like this I naturally notice such things. Many such services have been discontinued due to abuse on sites, or they install limits and filters to avoid these nuisances, so I was just trying to add my .02 to the hack, and was hoping that Trafix might be able to add in a few extra options in the ACP to cover these issues, since this is a great addition to a site!

( I'll dig around in your install file and try to install this manually...) some servers dont use mysql database on localhost or something like that
that makes problem with the install
its happend to hacks i coded also on 1 of my servers
so ill recommand that you will user the phpmyadmin tool that supplied with host and to insert this query
CREATE TABLE `vbogram_card` (
`vbogram_cardid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`sendername` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`senderuserid` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`senderemail` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`imageid` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`message` mediumtext NOT NULL,
`receiveremail` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`receivername` varchar(225) NOT NULL default '',
`cardid` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '0',
`datestamp` int(11) NOT NULL default'0',
`reply` tinyint(4) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`vbogram_cardid`))



i removed all of \'\' cuse its uses on php thats why you didnt secced to enter this query manualy
try again with the query i gave u

[docvader]

OK, thanks. First table was apparently in there, second table worked via your method.

Now, I'm getting errors with these queries:
ALTER TABLE '.TABLE_PREFIX.'language ADD `phrasegroup_vbogram` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL

INSERT INTO '.TABLE_PREFIX.'phrasetype (phrasetypeid, fieldname, title, editrows) VALUES (885, 'vbogram', 'vB-O-Gram', 3)
I don't think its happy with the table prefix the way it's written. (I have no table prefix, as I upgraded from a 2.xx board a while back)

Thanks for the help. I'd like to get this to work.

If you are trying to run these queries manual, and don't use a prefix, change them like this:
ALTER TABLE language ADD phrasegroup_vbogram MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL;

INSERT INTO phrasetype (phrasetypeid, fieldname, title, editrows) VALUES (885, 'vbogram', 'vB-O-Gram', 3)

awesome!

will try out when i update to 3.0.6

OK, so the column is already in there. Not sure what's missing after this step, because it stops. Maybe, something to uninstall it all, to try again???

And just for giggles, I've added quite a few hacks with this system, maybe this is not cooperating because I'm using a mac server,OSX? Pretty damn good, but, I've got this for php files:

usr/local/php/bin/php
usr/local/php/lib/php/db.php
usr/local/php/lib/php.ini

Not sure what your install script is calling to. Or, if this even makes a difference.

And do I have swf files.....

[docvader]

I'm kind of getting somewhere with the install. I've got some missing phrases now. Do you have a text of all the phrases, and where they go (global, etc) so that I can manually install them? Got most of the queries to run. I think it's in there....

Forget it, got it to work!!

I think

Now I'll be up all night loading swf files. Thai GF not gonna be happeeee.

Edit: OK, almost. Getting this error when uploading jpegs:
Warning: copy(./vbogram/max.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/vb_o_gram_admin.php on line 120
Wonder if it has to do with something not installing... I have "vbogimages" directory in server root (not forum root), chmod 777, as per instructions.

That part of the instructions is pretty bogus really, the default is set to vbogram in the AdminCP- vBulletin Options - vBOGram settings, so why on earth does it have a different name in the install?

Just serves to confuse people.

[docvader]

Thanks for bringing that to my attention; I can now upload photos.
Cannot input text into message text field
Can input email address.
Can send email

Get this message in email, once I get it:
Could not find phrase 'vbog_sendmail'.


That phrase is in my database though. A bit confused. Thai GF bewildered at the amount of time I can spend in front of the computer...

Getting there. Gonna get this to work....

OH, here it is
http://x.russbo.com/vb/vb_o_gram.php?do=main&imageid=15

[trafix]

ok i sent Max to myself :)

there should be 2 'vbog_sendmail' ... one in email body pheases and the other in email subject phrase .... if you do a phrase search in your admin area .... do you get them boh? is seems to me that the email body is missing

[docvader]

I'm missing the email body one. Can you tell me what it is so I can add it??

And what would cause the message text box to not allow any sort of message input??? My forums work fine; just can't add a message to this the gram.

Got full wysiwyg set. Added phrase helped, thanks. But still cannot type message in gram. Can type message in gram response though. Truly bizarre.

got to go. Thai GF pissed. LOL

PS: Spelling error "receiver" in email subject line.

[docvader]

Got any suggestions as to how to upload these swf files?? I tried to upload your waterfall swf, and it won't depict, though it does show in the list.

It's uploaded, I can view it in the ADMINCP area, but it won't show in the forum.

[trafix]

ok did you try uploading it with your ftp?

[docvader]

I uploaded it via the admincp area. works great. I can view it in the admincp area too. but it won't show in the gram area of the forum.

Hmmmm.

It's slowly coming together. I guess I had a really faulty install. Must be something else missing. Maybe a complete deinstall, and reinstall, is in order? how would I deinstall it though? Unless there's an easier way to fix this.

[trafix]

hmmm, dont do that yet .... i will have a look

[docvader]

I'd hate to deinstall him:

http://x.russbo.com/vb/vb_o_gram.php?do=main&imageid=15

Thanks.

[trafix]

ok .... edit your waterfall ... you must have the dimentions entered into the db

the waterfall is 300 wide and 400 hight ... that will fix it

[TwinsX2Dad]

Before I go and hose anything up, I just wanted to clarify something here - I run the installer, THEN create the vboimages folder and the adminscp/index.php edits and the template edits?

Maybe I need to have some more coffee before I try this? :)

Me thinx I am being ignored here.......

[docvader]

Run the installer. Do the edits and template edits. Create the images folder.

THEN, go into Vboptions, the gram part, and make sure you identify the name of the folder that you created, which is chmod 777, and, is within the forum directory.

Hope it works better for you than it did for me, LOL. But it's a great hack.

It also seems that you have to input dimensions for your images, for them to show in the gram box.

OH, your swf files need to be smaller than your upper limit attachment size.

Trafix, still don't have message ability in the gram.

[TwinsX2Dad]

Thanks, Doc -

If it helps any, I tested your link. Sent an email & it went through flawlessly - as unregistered, but it worked as advertised.

[docvader]

Yes, but you can't write a message.

Yet.

[trafix]

i just tested it .... i sent myself funny pong ... lol

i got the email .... followed the link and i was able to read what i typed .... everything worked

the only difference is that there is no WYSIWYG toolbar

[docvader]

Ah. It doesn't work in Netscape, the text input into the message box. Works everywhere else on the site though. Strange.

The gram stuff works in Internet Explorer.

More funny stuff to follow.

[docvader]

Well, I've been playing with this. And I am truly impressed.

http://x.russbo.com/vb/vb_o_gram.php?do=main&imageid=26

A few things that might help:

You can put any size in for the swf files, I use 500 x 500; if you go too wide, it will interfere with the drop down menus.
Get Flash Saver to capture your swf files: www.flash-screen.com
I resize my images down to 640 x 480 before uploading them. The upload in the admincp works great. If you FTP stuff to your image directory, use the "manual data entry " input link in the image list.
Make sure that you put sizes in the admincp upload area, otherwise nothing will show.
Put your images folder, chmod 777, into your forums directly, call it what you want. Write that into the vbulletins options / VB O Gram section.
It works great in IE. Netscape has some issues.

Really wish someone would figure out why Netscape won't allow text message input.

Nice job trafix. Works great. My girlfriend isn't talking to me anymore.

LOL

[trafix]

Thanks for the great tut :) , im glad you like the hack and im realy very glad that you will get sex tonight ;)

OK, I did it, but I thought it was all there. Not sure if it's doing what it's supposed to be doing. Not sure what I'm missing anymore. Added some more swf's.... LOL. I love this.

Any idea why Netscape doesn't allow the text message area to function (the rest of the site works just great with Netscape; just the gram text input area is pissy).

Gotta go. GF is yelling at me.

I agree- this is very odd. The text input box works fine in IE, but Firefox will not allow me to put any text in to the text area. Any ideas Trafix?

[trafix]

i realy dont have any idea ... unfortunatly i dont have firefox.

BUT i am using the inbuilt function that is used for the rest of the forum, i just dont know.

do you have firefox? ... is it the same if you view my vb-o-gram?

[docvader]

I agree- this is very odd. The text input box works fine in IE, but Firefox will not allow me to put any text in to the text area. Any ideas Trafix?
There's got to be a simple reason for this. My other hacks work fine in that much hated Netscape. Trafix, you can figure it out man.

We have FAITH.

BUT i am using the inbuilt function that is used for the rest of the forum, i just dont know.

This is what your VB-O-GRAM at the dev site looks like in Internet Explorer:

http://img183.exs.cx/img183/4113/vbogram25no.jpg

and this is what it looks like in MOZILLA FIREFOX (http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox&os=win&lang=en-US) :

http://img183.exs.cx/img183/6577/vbogram5vy.jpg

All other text areas work fine in Firefox with vbulletin. This is the first instance I have seen of it.

WIth Firefox all of the edit functions are visible, including smilies, but in IE it is just a text box.. perhaps that has something to do with it?? I dunno - just tossing out ideas since I have no clue ..LOL

PS- You should check out Firefox.. lotsa little goodies with it and it is much more secure than internet exploiter :D

[trafix]

yoyoyoyo did you get them the wrong way around????

i i use IE and i when i look at the dev site is see your secong inage .... with all the trimmings ...... BUT when i look at docvader's insitlation with IE i see the top image without tool bars.

yoyoyoyo have you registered at docvader site?

nope- didn't get them the wrong way- I just checked them again to make sure. The mozilla text box never pops in, it just stays that color and you can never add text.

I have not registered at docvader's site, but I can report that what I posted is true and accurate as far as how my machine and my browsers are acting, and both pics were snapped at the same site: vB trader Dev Forum: Trafix-O-GRAM.

Attached is a pic of both browsers open, with the URL and edit boxes and browser types clearly visible.

EDIT: well, the IE browser is missing the URL since I cut it out and pasted it in the other browser, but you can see the title in the browser title bar indicating it is the same site.

[trafix]

ok i just loged out of my forum and looked at my vb-o-gram and the tool bars dont appear ... but when i log in a see alll the wysiwyg toolbars

which might explain the lack of tool bars when i view doc's site.

however i cant explain the firefox stuff yet

Well, I don't know if this has anything to do with this problem, but I just noticed, that my private message area no longer functions correctly with Netscape. And it did before. Doesn't work in Firefox either. Just as it doesn't work iin the VB O Gram area. All works in IE though.

Does this hack somehow use the private message box files? Or, did it alter it in some way??

[trafix]

Yes the vb-o-gram uses the standard functions for text input ... exactly the same code that is used to input PM's, Posting threads etc ....

i used existing code and did not edit any of its functions

hmmm ... you must have a ghost in you server one that loves IE ...lol

Thank you very much!

hmmm, i guess i could look at that for the next update :)cool- I think that if a person also had the vbjukebox installed that all you would need to make this work is a wysiwyg editor and an ability to link the pic to a file in the jukebox, and then they could leave a message- with their own pics/message, and a song, and a link back to the site. That way you could also embed a movie or whatever you want, as well.

If you could also add the ability to make them a cup of tea and shine their shoes that would be great too :D

[trafix]

Hmmm .... thats sounds easy ..

ill make you a deal, if the vb jukebox gets HOTM next month ... i will code teh intergration ;)

[trafix]

anyone got any other upgrade ideas?

[trafix]

I looked at the website and these are not really E-cards. They are short movies and poorly done. He doesn't even take time to change the dimensions to make them look nice.

Download this software and search for "flash E-cards". Flash Grabber allows one to download flash files from webpages.

I started looking and adding some E-cards for this mod since it is a nice little addon for Vbulletin.

I noticed this myself. Once one adds the phase, it works like a charm



$phrase['vbog_sendmail']['text'] = 'To view your $navtitle please click $vboptions[bburl]/vb_o_gram.php?do=getmycard&cardid=$cardid&cardtype=$cardtype[vbogram_cardid]';
$phrase['vbog_sendmail']['phrasetypeid'] = '3000';

Hi Trafix - Gr8 hack !!

Everything is working fine for me.

But i have request: When a person receives the message, in the From/Sender option it shows the title of my website, i think it would more appealing if the name of the sender is shown to the person who is recieving it. Thus, the chances of person opening that Trafix-O-Gram would increase a lot more rather than ending in the heap of SPAM Folder.

Anyway, gr8 hack - Keep it up !!

[NuclioN]

anyone got any other upgrade ideas?

Yes an option to make more categories, now we have a huge list. :)

[Osterling]

I have my forum width set to 760, and for some reason all the tables in that main vbogram template were stretching my page about 40 pixels too wide. It also looked to cluttered having 2 additional tables in there when they didn't need to be so I did my best to make it blend better with the rest of the vBulletin style layout. In my opinion it's much cleaner :)

oh I installed the hack, seems a very good hack thank you very much but I have a problem, I see the table is there (via php admin), although vb3_vbogram_img *is* there I get this error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT *
FROM vb3_vbogram_img
WHERE active = 1
ORDER BY RAND() DESC LIMIT 1

mysql error: Table 'mesajtah_dannke.vb3_vbogram_img' doesn't exist

I agree- this is very odd. The text input box works fine in IE, but Firefox will not allow me to put any text in to the text area. Any ideas Trafix?has anyone come up wirh a fix for this error? I can only get this to work with the standard editor- the wysiwyg editor give me a blank edit area that I can't click or type in.

[kooley2]

This looks to be a really great hack!

Does anyone know if there is any plans to upgrade or develop this for VB 3.6?

Thx in advance!!!
