Is there anyway to se this up so users can be added through the admin cp install of having to run a quary in phpmyadmin for each user?

There isn't YET, but I am hoping to add that to it, or that someone else can write that part. I have no experience writing for the admin cp at all, so I'll have to figure it out as I do it.

OK Thanks for the reply. Great Hack BTW

This hack is great. I would like it where members can upload their own pics and have a small caption.

Hoping someone will implement these things.

The caption idea is basically already there. Notice that in the new table, there is a field called "comments". Anything put in that field will show up as the last thing in the list of user's details (name, registration date, post count, etc.). If you want it to be more like a true caption, and have it under the photo, just edit the main_pgbit template.

Wouldn't it be possible that if some is using the upload photo hack to simply add the insert statement to include it in the gallery?

This way, while the member is uploading his picture he is also populating the gallery.

And for the thumbnail we could add the same image but with the width="100". Or while doing the upload we use imagemagick...

Just a thought.

You wouldn't want to use the full-size image for the thumbnail image, too...that would kind of defeat the purpose of having a thumbnail index in the first place, which is to present many small, quick-loading images on one page. Using HTML width and height tags to make an image display smaller doesn't actually make the file size smaller, of course, so you would have a bunch of big image files being loaded on one page, which would be a pain in the butt for dialup users.

I haven't looked at the photo upload hack, so I don't really know how it works, but if you can upload one file, I'm sure you can upload two.

This is part of the original reason why I never thought to include a way for users to add their own photos. Many of the users on my board do not have the knowledge or capability to make their own thumbnail images, so either I or one of my assistants has always done this for them. Many of my members are just casual computer users; they come to my board for the general chit-chat in a friendly atmosphere...it's kind of like going to a bar to talk to your friends, not because you're a hardcore drinker.

Just for the record, though, if I get a chance to work on this, I will...but I'm not actively working on it right now. I have another hack (the any-forum news hack) that I'm working on, in between playing games and doing holiday-related stuff. It's hard for me to get motivated to work on this feature when I know I'm never going to use myself, know what I mean?

I am going to try to play with imagemagick a little bit to generate the thumbnails.

Merry Xmas to you and thanks for hack.

BTW there are plenty any forums news hacks. I am using 3 of them on my site frontpage.

Really? There are other hacks that let you post news items in any or all forums? I've never seen any, and when I posted mine, nobody else said it had already been done or that they already did it. I'm having trouble getting your page at http://www.haitiwebs.com/ to load, so I can't see them... can you give me links?
