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).

This is a wonderful mod! Everything works great. I have one question though. I run a private forum and would like my members to be able to post links to the images outside of this forum without revealing the actual url of the forum itself. So.. for the HTML Code that is displayed in the text field for users to cut and paste, I am trying to get

http://imagehosting.mydomain.net/abc992.gif

instead of

http://www.mydomain.net/forumdir/ima...ing/abc992.gif

And then I create a subdomain imagehosting.mydomain.net that points to www.mydomain.net/forumdir/imagehosting/ , see what I mean?

But I cannot figure out how to change that. I've tried modifying the xml file and changing the path and dispath variabes, but it just doesn't seem to be working. I still get the latter display instead of the former.

Is there any easy way to make this run from a separate database? It obviously can make a DB quite large. When I backup the DB, I don't really care about the images...

Im no genius at this stuff, but I think the line youre looking for is this one:

PHP Code:

$vbimghost['path']=$vbulletin->options['bburl']."/".$vbulletin->options['imgdir']."/".$row['imgfile']; 


in the vbimghost.php file.

Why not just have SQL select a random row from the vbimage table?

[transitbus]

That is exactly what I am trying to do but I get nothing, the module does not even show up.

as per my orignal post, I compiled the different suggestions and this is what i came up with

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=246

If I can get this to work, I'll work on limiting it to one random picture.

What I would love to have is a module for CMPS that pulls a random pic and shows it for a certain amount of time. So in a way what i want is a random picture of the day that pulls from this addon

1. Users can create 'albums' or folders within their gallery to organize their photos, instead of them all being in the same clump

2. Comments on individual photos, so when they open the photo in full view there is a comment box below it for users to add comments (shows the user's avatar and their comment). The photo gallery owner can delete comments, approve comments, get emailed when there are new comments.

3. The ability to have galleries that multiple users can upload into, like 'club photo galleries'. Multiple users can upload into a 'collection', and then that collection can have a password protection put on it so that clubs/groups get their own club photo gallery, can make albums for each of their events, and password protect it so only their members know how to get in.

Question...

Getting ready to install this mod on 3.6.1, and my members are really wanting this feature.

My question is simple... my navbar is getting pretty full. I have the "Menu Control" mod installed, where I can add links to a second navbar. So if I link the image hosting page from the second navbar, I just need to skip the navbar template modification part of the install, correct? And link to the imagehosting.php?

Looking forward to this...

You could do that, but the navbar link isnt actually just a single link. It is a vb dynamic dropdown menu button... so when they click 'photos' it actually brings down a menu with the options:

- my images
- upload an image
- view all user's images

So.. theres really 3 links you'd want to add in there.
