viPortfolio 1.2.6 Beta Release
 

======= =======
viPortfolio Version 1.2.6
======= =======

This is our first hack. And not our last. :D We have spent a lot of time polishing it for stability and interface. Thanks for the patience and support so far.
We have installed and tested in vBulletin 2.2.6. For those with older versions, please post your results.

Description:
For those that need a separate interface in the user control panel to upload files - download this.

Features:[list=1][*]New profile navigation bar to view a portfolio/upload gallery[*]New profile navigation bar for members to change their portfolio/upload gallery[*]Admin and moderators may change descriptions and delete file configuration options maintained in admin control panel.[*]86 different file types support via either thumbnail or default icon view.[*]ImageMagick not needed![*]Display who uses their portfolio in the members list.[*]Support for vbHacker from Chen located at vbHacker 1.0.1 is included in the install.[/list=1]
Demo links:[list=1][*]Members list[*]Public Profile[*]Public Portfolio[/list=1]
Installation Instructions:

Extract the viPortfolio-1.2.6.zip file which will create a viPortfolio
subdirectory. Upload the directory to your root Web server directory where your forum code is located. From a Web browser run: http://{yourserver}/viPortfolio/install.php and follow the steps.

.: Remove the viPortfolio subdirectory after installation :.

We would appreciate any feedback regarding this hack. Interface, changes for future versions and so on. We will offer support for this hack - we will not be responsible for errors - as always, BACK UP YOUR data base.

We have spent a lot of time on this and all we ask is that our copyright notice remain in tact at the bottom of portfolio pages. Thanks!

Along with viPortfolio we are making use of a new install.php version 1.2.6. The install.php has not had the amount of testing that viPortfolio has. With that said we are looking for your assistance in notifying VisibleImpact.com of any error messages or difficulties you may have with the install.

*** Updated installer ****
I have totaly rewritten the installer to take out all the flash and make it a simple step by step install. Atleast I hope that is what it is :D It is definately worth trying.

Whoa!

Way cool!:)

Ive seen this on your site before...

Satan

whoa... goes to install right away...

Part of the reason this wasn't uploaded earlier was because I was writting an install wizard. Currently this wizard is able to install the viPortfolio files, templates, and create the database tables alog with prepopulating the with data.
What the installer doesn't do is modify your existing files and templates to add links from your board into the portofolio. I have included directions at the end of the install on how to add those hacks into your existing files.

I like the idea for the hack, but I will wait until this hack comes out of it's beta state.

The demo can't be reach..

I gave up installing it :(

It became to difficult to follow...:cry:

Satan

Were did you end at? What part was hard to follow?

I stopped when I tried to make the Modifications to the "memberlist.php" file...

I got loads of errors...I wasnt sure what files needed uploading where, so I just stopped...

I dont think it made any changes to the Database...

Satan

When you unzip the viPortfolio-1.0.0.zip file you should have gotten multiple files all under a subdirector called viPortfolio. If move the directory viPortfolio into the same directory that you have the member.php file than you will have everything were it is needed.

Let me know if this helps?

Well I did that to start with...

But I got loads of parse errors, that werent parse errors if you understand...

init functions and all sorts were wrong...

Satan

I am creating directions on how to manualy install the viPortfolio. I don't know that this will make it simplier but it will make it easier to know what changes are made.

WoW nice hack man, been waiting for long time :)
Thanks

Drk

Yes please...

I am not fond of Automated scripts...Maybe it is my inefficiency with them and chmodding directories etc which caused the errors...

Satan

No go :(

I would like to see this work.

stanqpower, how was it a nogo? What kinds of errors did you get?

Here is manual directions for viPortfolio install. I am not very good at the technical documentation. With these directions I am assuming that you are somewhat experienced with vbulletin and installing hacks.

Let me know of any questions or if I didn't put enough details in these instructions.

I hope this helps.

Thanks...

I'll install very soon:)

Satan

The great thing about the installer is that, when finished - it allows you to edit your templates/PHP and save the changes with in the install program. The only true automation is the database tables being created for you with an option to delete them as well.

Once the script is finalized, this will be a great interface authored by TeddyBare69. One that he could translate for other hacks we come up with... or other hacks vB owners would like to have "beautified." Taking the simple text instructions into the new millenium. :p

But we did find that some prefer to do all the work, and I do to. But... others will not install a hack if they have to do the integration. So this installer is an attempted to satisfy both forum owners.

Unfortunatly due to it's complexity... the installer's BETA state may take time to finish. But most can install with the simple text instructions. We knew some where waiting patiently for this... :smoke:

:)

Screen shot 2.

You would save me $100 if you could get this working :)

Ian

I too got the same errors that Stangpower posted :/

Those are the errors I got:)

Satan

stangpower, hellsatan, christy, anybody else with databases that don't like the ';'

I am not completely positive this will fix your first screen shot of errors though. I am looking into how those errors could be created. You are more than willing to try with this fix.

If I could find out what version database you are running? I have seen this error on visibleimpacts website as well and haven't figured out why it works on my test server but not on the production server.

Here is the fix. I am uploading a new file and giving fixit instructions.

This is an easy fix.

1. in your viPortfolio directory you have install.php
2. open that file and find line 1338
You should see this with or without line numbers depending on your editor:
1335 if ($onvservers==1 and substr($val, 0, 5)=="ALTER") {
1336 $DB_site->reporterror=0;
1337 }
1338 echo " .";
1339 $DB_site->query($val);
1340 if ( $DB_site->errno != 0 ) {
1341 echo "<P>Error #[".$DB_site->errno."]<BR>Message: [".$DB_site->errdesc."]<BR>SQL: [".$val."]<p>";
1342 return;
1343 }

3. Between lines 1338 and 1339 insert the following line.

$val[strpos( $val, ";" )] = " ";

4. Now your code will look like:
1335 if ($onvservers==1 and substr($val, 0, 5)=="ALTER") {
1336 $DB_site->reporterror=0;
1337 }
1338 echo " .";
1339 $val[strpos( $val, ";" )] = " ";
1340 $DB_site->query($val);
1341 if ( $DB_site->errno != 0 ) {
1342 echo "<P>Error #[".$DB_site->errno."]<BR>Message: [".$DB_site->errdesc."]<BR>SQL: [".$val."]<p>";
1343 return;
1344 }

If you don't feel comfortable making that change, I have attached the modifed install.php file here.

Cheers...

I will try that out at a more decent time of the day:)

Satan

In my rush to get my first fix out I didn't completely test all the functionality. Instead of the fix being a one liner it is a two liner. Since I had the portfolio already installed it skipped part of the process. :)

Instead of inserting just the line:
$val[strpos( $val, ";" )] = " ";

You will need to insert both of the below lines in the same location:
if ( $ending = strpos( $val, ";" ) > 0 )
$val[strpos( $val, ";" )] = " ";


As with before i have attached a new install.php file with the modifications included.

So far the mysql_fetch_array errors you were getting also fixed with this change. If you could give the installer a try with these changes included and let me know the results I would greatly appreciate it.

Sorry for the confusion before.

get this out of beta and I NEED it :)

Aaron

I went ahead and installed this manually. Boy that was alot of work. Modded it a bit for my own purposes. I'm using 2.2.25 not 2.2.6 and the footer should be templated instead of hardcoded. Also I made the "portfolio" a link in the cp instead of a header option. I'll tweak this a bit more, but overall nice job.

BTW, you REALLY need to work on the explanations in the paperclip and profile HTML files.....they had me lost for awhile.

Sketch

Thank you for the comments and suggestions. My hopes were that the installer would work and the documentation wouldn't be needed.
I am hopeing you thought it was a lot of work to put the code in because it is a lot of code :) not because the directions took you in circles :'(

If you are ok with it, I would like to see your mods you made and possibly add them in as an installation option.

Tried tne installer again, it did not work. Caused a parse error in my member list php file.

Sorry but I will let the others test it on their boards before I try again :D

The installer was an extra that was supposed to make life easier. I guess I missed the mark on that one. The real magic is in the portfolio. That is were I am most interested in hearing peoples views. If the manual install worked for you than great! If not than that is my priority. To get the manual directions up to speed.

Are you having troubles getting your manual updates working or is it just the installer? Please tell me your users will have a portfolio to use. :)

Well I got it installed manually and everything looks fine. I went to upload a pic for my profile and got the error posted below

Well I added a tmp directory and that fixed that error, but now i get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpeg() in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\forum\viPortfolio.php on line 610

GD is required for this to work. I should have put that in the release :cry:

You can double check that it actual is compiled in by running phpinfo

http://{your site}/admin/index.php?action=phpinfo

You should be able to find the following
gd

GD Support
enabled

GD Version
1.6.2 or higher

JPG Support
enabled

PNG Support
enabled

well I got the php_gd.dll and put it in the extensions directory and uncommented it out of php.ini and then my php pages dont load so gonna have to figure something out.

I wish I could help :), I know nothing about the windows side of php. Let me know when you convert to your favorite flavor of unix and I will be ther for ya. :)

Somebody on this board should have and idea though?

Ok, got that installed

everything uploads fine, but this is the result

http://www.force137.com/forum/viportfolio.php?userid=1

Everything is X'ed out.

Also I cannot delete any existing images, when I go to edit and select the Delete current file and update, it seems like it all go's through, but then i go to that page again and it is still there.

I went back and tried it on my system also and I am having the same difficulties. I should have this fixed pretty fast. Thanks.

By the way, really awesome looking design on your website.

I will be working on that error message also.

We have a fix for the deletion not working.

It turns out to be a fairly simple fix. :)


We will be editing two templates:
First template is viPortfolio_edit_editbit.

The very first line of the template looks like this:
<input type="hidden" name="portfolioids [$count]" value="$image[portfolioid ]" />

and it should look like this:
<input type="hidden" name="viPortfolioids [$count]" value="$image[viPortfolioid ]" />

This template is fixed, go ahead and save.

Now for template two: viPortfolio_edit_attachment

Open the template up and look on what should be line 11

[Before]
<input type="hidden" name="portfolioids [$count]" value="$image[portfolioid ]" />

[After]
<input type="hidden" name="viPortfolioids [$count]" value="$image[viPortfolioid ]" />


Christy,
Now that GD is working better for you, can you try and upload more pictures and see if that fixes your missing images problem?

Ok, Delete is now working :)

Everything uploads fine but still red X, ive used jpg and gif
http://www.force137.com/forum/viportfolio.php?userid=1

I noticed that when you click on the thumb, the popup window is the same size as the pic so thats working, just not displaying the images
