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).

New issue.

What's up with this error?

Uploaded file is not an image

I'm trying to upload known .jpg's well below my limits of 3008x2000 and 3MB. 2200x1800 1.8MB files are uploaded with no problem. Does this having something to do with fields of the vmimghost table in MySQL? Should I attempt to adjust them?

Thanks.

:erm:

what type of img is that ?
if it's a text file with the extension .jpg it won't work .

also note that you can't bypass the php.ini file setting

so if you set the size limit to 5 mb but in php.ini setting it's set to 2 mb you can only upload 2 mb files

Ranma2k,

Is there a way to set all usergroups to be allowed to upload images?

I have about 50 usergroups and it would be quicker for me to dissallow the 5 or so I don't want to have it rather than manually go through allowing 50.

Whoo hoo! That did it! seting max upload size to 3M and restarting Apache fixed it!

Wasn't a text file. These are actual JPG photos.

Thanks.

strange thing is it still works just perfectly it just throws up those errors for seemingly no reason

This mod is great and all but one thing I would really like is the ability to toggle the image properties on and off. For example: BB Code URL, BB Code Image and HTML code. I'd like not to display those.

This mod worked great untill i tried to use it on another forum.

When rebuilding thumbnails i get the following error:

Warning: getimagesize(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/user/public_html/forums/imagehosting/1461fe104d7168.jpg) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/ishson1:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /admincp/vbimghost.php on line 279

Warning: getimagesize(/home/user/public_html/forums/imagehosting/1461fe104d7168.jpg): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /admincp/vbimghost.php on line 279

And when using the quick upload in the reply box, The bbcode displays but the actual photo does not..

I am also having a problem with the watermark not showing

Warning: getimagesize(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/user/public_html/forums/imagehosting/watermark.png) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/ishson1:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /includes/vbimghost_include.php on line 221

Just edit them out of the template.

Check out vbimghost_imgbits in the VB IMAGE HOSTING Templates

find and remove

             <tr> <td class="alt1">$vbphrase[vbimghost_imgdlink]</td>
                            <td class="alt2"><input type="text" value="[img]$vbimghost[path][/img]"></td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                            <td class="alt1">$vbphrase[vbimghost_imgflink]</td>
                            <td class="alt2"><input type="text" value="[url='$vbimghost[dispath]'][img]$vbimghost[thumbpath][/img][/url]"></td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
