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 ..

Ranma have you considered releasing this mod as a "stand alone" script i.e. working independent of vBulletin ? I know I have been searching for NUMEROUS Image hosting scripts and realized that your release, with a few minor add ons, could really be an awesome image hosting script.

I run a webhosting company and would be happy to provide you with free hosting space for a test bed if you're interested.....

Does anyone know how to fix the problem where 'array' shows on the Upload Images page? Thanks in advance.

I will be releasing a myspace addon soon that will be able to utilize this hack and possible any addons that I can come up with along the way.

I'm looking for this mod. I need to have the hosting of the files on an external server of forum. ranma2k said (25. Sep 2006) he was doing that for the next version. My question is:

Could i install the actual version 1.0.1 and wait for this feature? if it will be possible to update to the next version with external server feature without problems ¿? Sorry, my english is bad. I hope that my doubt has been understood.

HELP. I installed this mod and turned everything "on" in the VB Admin and usergroups. Also made the navbar edits.

Problem is I do not see any options or reference to VB Image Hosting in my forums, post forms, User CP, etc. Where and what am I supposed to see... a link somewhere for uploading pics??

thanks

[servan]

There is a link in navbar. See "screenshot.zip" of mod.

Everything looks good with this plugin, except one thing. The plugin in the navbar is a different color than the rest of the navbar. See the attached image. I've looked thru the XML but I'm can't really find where to change it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I've been using your mod for about a week now and i've come across only one problem so far. Some people are trying to host an image but its giving them an error that they are over the amount allowed to be hosted for them, but they really aren't. One person has 7 photos and I have it set for 50 photos for him, but it gives him that error. Any ideas?

Currently having a problem. I'm using vB3.6 and the latest version of VB Image Hosting. Whenever any user tries to upload an image, they click on the Upload Image link. When they get there, the stats are all there but where the boxes should be to upload images, I have this error:

You already have the max number of images allowed to upload

However, all of the usergroups are set to far beyond what we currently have uploaded. For example, I currently have 149 uploaded images but my usergroup's limit is at 500 according to the Usergroup Manager. In the stats to the left of the upload image page, it has 0 for "Max number of images allowed for you"...

I have tried setting the max allowed to 0, 500, 1000, and various others to no avail. Image Hosting is turned on and everything is working normally as far as I can see. This used to work just fine before and didn't start happening until recently, seemingly for no reason? We did have an issue where a few members were deleted by accident, and in the image hosting "View All Users" page it had a bunch of blank people (the username was blank, but it still said that person had X amount of images). I removed those people's images from the database using a query and the blank name isn't there anymore, but I'm still receiving the above error.

Any help?
