I like this. Thanks.

But my members can delete the images freely...

The user can only delete thier own images.
or if they are a member of a group that can admin the images ( they can only admin public images set by the image uploader)

I love.
It seems to be easy and nice to use :)

EDIT: where is the pack to download ?

Can this be used as a member's gallery and then put something like this member's recent images hosted or?

it would be so awesome... :D

Wow this could be useful for my forums. Thanks bro! :D

had to edit something in it :) it's up again

you can do that also

could you give us some heads up on how this could be used that way..?

like is their some preview functions (thumbnails) then something that we could use to get those latest previews...

Thanks for your time Ranma...

well I'm planning to add a thumbnails in the next release.
Currently it can't be 100% gallery it's somewhat a gallery if you view the list of users who uploaded
The main function of it was to host images not to view them as gallery ..

but I'll keep that in mind in the next release

Well there isn't a free version of a member's gallery yet and I am sure this would be VERY popular if it could do ABOUT the same thing, thanks for keeping that in mind Ranma :D

nice work!

tell me when you try it and I will test it for you..

well if you looking for a free gallery try this :)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hlight=gallery

that's no where close to what I was saying, I meant something like a member's own photos, a member's OWN gallery, that mod is just a template edit... :(

oh ok :)
will be working on it :)

This looks very nice.

One Question:

Will this hack upload images to a different server other than the one the forum is on?

I have a "media" server that I use for audio and pics that has a differnt ip.

TY in advance!

No curently it's set to be used the same server the site is on
but that is an intresting idea .. will add it in the to do list :)

is this bandwidth needed or something

any reason why my members can not view other members uploads?

when they click on "view all members images" they don't see other members images.

Very cool! Would be great to let people specify X number of photos to display in their profile, with a link to the rest of them.

Would also be cool if admins can specify a .png image to be used as a watermark on the lower right side of each uploaded image. :)

Will be watching this one and will probably install soon! :)

also is there any way to make all images public?

I had to comment this line out in vbimghost.php to get my navbar dropdowns working. Was getting javascript errors before.

if the uploader want the members to see his images he have to set the image to Public
other wise it won't show to anyone else

That i'll be working on it for the next release

owner can set it public only ..

When a user upload an image it will be by defualt private .

If you want it all images uploaded to be public by defult
open the file vbimghost.php
and find the line 402

and replace it with

but the main idea is to give your user the freedom to set what ever they want to public view

yeb i have removed it also from the file

Thanks for reporting it

well viewing the images going to use the bandwidth from your site ..

hmmm. . for some reason only one user at a time has thier images display in the "listing users "page. i've uploaed a couple of images with test accounts and set all the images to public and the accounts do not show up in the "listing users" page

Can you give me a link to your forums and i'll see what's wrong

it should show you the users who set the uploaded images to public view

what info do you need?

a user name and log in?

i have my forum set up so that only registared users can log in.

just a link to see the problem ..
if you can give me a demo user to test with it
it's fine

thank you! sent info via PM

Ok found it ..

to fix your problem just replace the vbimghost.php file that you have with the one in the zip file ..

thanks for pointing the error out

WOW! thank you sir!@

Couple Of Issues and Suggestions :

I have a different skin, not the default one that comes with vBulletin, in my skin the navbar links are'nt in text, they are in image, I did create and implement image for the image hosting and introduced it there and seems to working fine, how do I get rid of the arrow icon that you have integrated in the id=vbimghost, where can I edit to remove that small arrow, as I have designed a arrow withing the image.

Next, after everything was completed, and working fine, when I click to upload image, view image or perform any operation, i just get same error as that there are no images and something same of the sort.

Once you clear my doubts and this suggestion, I will try re-installing again!

Thanks a lot for this hack, I have been looking for some long time and finally its here, just provide a support for people using images in navbar !

Regards,
DC

if you can help me out here :)
and check your admin/permissions also if it works fine or not ..

i'll be around for another 2 hours :)

all work now. thank you again!

I didn't creat the arrow it's generated by the vbulletin it self
and what is the url that your getting .. when you want to upload ?!

I get the url as vbmghost.php?do=upload if I am not wrong, and is there anyway for me to ignore the arrow mark ? Can you look into this issue ? I am using iSkin from eXtremepixels!

yes you can ignore it

i saw a site that uses the same script and the menu worked fine with him. in order to help you with your problem can you send me your website url & a user/pass to see what went wrong with you
