Major Additions - VB image Hosting

VB Image Hosting Version 1.0.1

This is the port for my hack to vb 3.6.x
check it for vb 3.5.x here

A New installer replaced the old one so you should not face any problems with database

NOTE :
People who were using vbimghost in vb 3.5.x and moved to vb 3.6.0 MAKE sure that you have vbimghost 1.4.1 Since this port will only support upgrading from that ver only
People who do a fresh install use this ver.

Requirements:

1. requires GD 2.0.1 or later (2.0.28 or later is recommended).
2. PHP ver 4.3.x or later (newer ver is better).

NOTE:
before you post any error here :
Set that path to your forums correctly in the vbimghost options.
if you getting the error ""supplied argument is not a valid"
that's because you didn't set the path correctly

And for all the people asking when is the next release it will be in 2007 not this month .. due to some problems in real life ..

I hadn't thought of that but I am sure you are right!!! Will do.... and thank you.

I can't seem to get my watermark to work, all I tried to use was the text one, and nothing shows up.

also, is there a way I could easily allow the users to add a brief 'name' or 'description' of the image they are uploading? Scrictly for SEO purposes, and possibly a search feature..to search for a certain pic by 'tag' lines. Just some suggestions.

I need to know what direction to go in here. Fix something with the mod or yell at my host.

Well this issue still exists and it seems to only be with IE. Firefox has nadda going on as far as this. I don't understand it at all since no one else has had this happen. I am wondering if our host has done something in the background to impede this process to cause this?

No problems yet Tom.......I bet I have 10,000 images on my server out of 12 sites.

vBulletin should not be used on shared hosting. The software and some added mods and hacks will kill your alotted cpu cycles. sometimes this hack will eat up cpu time.

been there. now have my site on a high CPU user tier, and not to many problems.

[Tom_S]

Not many problems? If you went to a dedicated server and have any problems then I see a HUGE issue. Shared hosting has nothing to do with what is going on if they have their hardware setup effectively. Thanks for the feedback though.

can you turn on and off the html/bbcode links ?

[Tom_S]

If you are asking me on mine then no. That option isn't in this mod.

I edited the template to remove the HTML ones, as my users can't link outside my forums and don't need it. You could do the same if you just want to completely remove them.

I would love to see the author implement a switch that would only show the BBCode link to the owner of the photo.
