and hows the ability for a member to upload their own pic feature going?

It looks like vBulletin 3 is going to include a feature that will allow a member to upload his/her own photo into his/her profile. This photo would then be displayed in the user's profile whenever someone views it.

However, I saw no mention of a centralized system wherein you could view all photos; this is what my hack basically does.

Therefore, when vBulletin 3 comes out, if it's not already included by then, I intend to release a new Photo Gallery hack that will build on the built-in profile photo system that's built in to vB 3. This new hack will be a centralized page to see all photos, as is this current version, but it should be simpler and more user-friendly, since it uses the photos that users upload for themselves.

Let this serve as notice that, unless the vBulletin developers include this functionality in the release version, I hereby claim eminent domain over this idea, and kindly ask that nobody else work on the same idea. :)

Very cool hack, I'll use it until vB 3 is released. Nice job!

Ok i have installed it, and i can see the page.

BUT: Where do i put in the pictures, and the text ? I cant find it in the admin page ;( ??

:)

What admin page? There is no admin page with this hack. Everything is done by file uploads and direct database modifications. It's all described in Step 2b. Sorry, I wasn't experienced enough at the time to write a more sophisticated way of managing it. I might be able to do it now, but I have no plans to do so, as I anticipate the pending release of vBulletin 3, which will require the hack to be rewritten. In other words, I'm not going to spend any time adding new features to a hack that will be depracated soon.

HEHE ok, i understand :)

Nice Hack JJR512

I have been useing it for a few months now.
I have read your post about the admin cp option
of allowing to enter the photo and useid in to the
database with out using phpmyadmin.

This is a good hack I will be useing it for some time
as I have no plans to update to vb3.

If anyone can make a script that will enter the
photo and userid in to the photogallery table in the
database via the admin cp I would very muich like to
add it.

I would do my self but I would be takeing my
life and database in to my own hands .lol

Thanx

Hi,

does anyone have a demo of this in action ?

It is then possible to have 1 page with all the pictures only ?

hi,
One more question ...

is there a way for the users to add their pictures ? and creating thumbs ?
I can go around doing :
INSERT INTO photogallery VALUES (xxx, 'full-photo-URL', 'thumb-photo-URL', '');
for hours/days at a time and creating stupid Thumbnails ?
