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

This is very nice little product and addition to the forum. Some of my members are using it already. They like having a little album to display pictures and I like that they aren't filling up threads with pics.
There is one or two things I and my members wondered about. Is there a way to create a title or caption to the pics, other than the file name, and why is it that in viewing the pics the info box to the rifht shows the bb code & html I think it is. The codes are not something my members would want/need but instead if that area could be used as a disciptive for the pic would fantastic. Maybe something for the next release ?
Really like this one, thanks kindly !

Is there a way to set it so the VB Image Host link on the Nav bar only shows to users who are logged in and registered?

You could try something like this:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X, Y, Z)">CODE TO IMAGE HOST HERE<else />BLANK OR MESSAGE TO USER WHO DOESN'T SEE IT</if>

Change XYZ to the usergroup(s) you want to see the image hosting link.

Posted this yesterday but seems to have been deleted.

I have ran all the upgrades but when rebuilding thumbnails I get

Warning: getimagesize(/public_html/carpy/imagehosting/144d4e506cf85d.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/vbimghost.php on line 278

Also, when I view users images now they seem to be of various sizes

Hope someone can help.

Ranma2k: just a short question, do you have a target date (approximatly) for the next major release (for the external server storage)?
i'm really impatient to install the hack, but if I do it on my current forum storage, I'll excede my quota in a week
BTW, thank you again for your hack, already installed on my test server!

Excellent. Thanx. It worked like a charm.
