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 ..

Yay! Amazing how RTFM works. This is great so far...

[Merriweather]

I see that when I am viewing all of my images, I have the last option "Permission" and then just "Delete Image" but if I click the image for a full view, I then have "Permission" with "Set private" and "Delete Image". Can the privacy option be added to the overview of all images so users don't have to go to each image to see the settings?

Great hack, I love it.

It does work fine, except when an image is uploaded, I get a page with a list of errors:

Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg(/home/user/public_html/endeavour/imagehosting/145c420d2b33ff.jpg) [function.imagecreatefromjpeg]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/vbimghost_include.php on line 175

Warning: imagejpeg(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /includes/vbimghost_include.php on line 209

Warning: imagedestroy(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /includes/vbimghost_include.php on line 210

It does still redirect and the images upload fine etc. It just doesn't look very good to see this page full of errors, especially when everything appears to be working ok.

Any ideas how to fix this?

[blind-eddie]

I do too, but image still loads. This also happens to me in another installed hack.

[Spank]

I managed to get rid of all of the errors except one by putting in the usual path to the forums, instead of the public_html path.

I still get this error:

Warning: imagejpeg() [function.imagejpeg]: Unable to open 'http://www.misc-world.com/endeavour/imagehosting/145c4c9e6dc492.jpg' for writing in /includes/vbimghost_include.php on line 209

What's causing this?

[eshudnow]

In the instructions it states to find the following:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td

and

<!-- PAGENAV POPUP -->

I'm going into Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates and going to navbar and can't find any of that text. Am I going to the wrong navbar (is there more than 1?)

[SVTOA]

Works perfectly on a fresh install. Thanks!

[ThomasR]

First of all, congratulation (again) for this hack. Installed sucessfully and it works like a charm. But I have a question: I saw that you can see all the user pictures in the admincp, even the private one. Is their a way to browse directly inside the forum side of the mod and see what is private like all the public image when you are admin?

[Merriweather]

edshudnow ~ Your navbar may have been previously edited and therefore doesn't have those exact bits of code. Are you using a custom template?

Ranma2k ~ When you edit your signature, the editor links are there, but the text is not showing for the first link:

[Open]
[Upload Photo]

So if I am posting a message, I see both links on the right below the smilies and they work, but if I am editing my signature, I only see:

[]
[Upload Photo]

ETA ~ The [Open] does nt show because "Open" isn't a global vB phrase. To remody this issue, I just went into the Phrase manager, clicked "Add New Phrase" and used the following:

Phrase Type: Global
Product: VB image hosting
Varname: open
Text: Open

Save it and then the word will show in all required places other than the posting window.

I also found what is a big problem for me, and may be for others... I can't find an option to prevent usergroups from viewing member's photos. Right now, guests can see user's photos, and I do not want them to be able to, amongst other usergroups. How can this be corrected?
