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).

They are renamed.

They don't appear to be... if I user uploads a file called mydog.jpg, it's still mydog.jpb on the server...

ETA ~ I see what you are saying now. The file name itself is changed on the server to a unique identifier, but it shows the original file name in the person's gallery -- excellent!

Another question/request... right now, a user without vB image hosting permissions sees "no images" when they click to view their images, and if possible, it would be nice for that to give a message saying they don't have access to the feature. Same with the [Open] and [Quick Upload] buttons on the posting screen -- it would be great if they just didn't show for someone without permission, or told them they don't have access when they clicked either one.

I just hid all that stuff for guests, cause all my members have access. You can wrap a conditional around it to hide it, if you know how to do that...

[Merriweather]

I was able to make it not display any of the photo pages for those without access to upload by using conditionals. It would be nice to have it as a built-in feature of the mod, though (for future versions/users). The one thing I can't do yet is hide the [Open] and [Quick Upload] for those without permissions -- have you been able to do that?

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?)

I have found the same thing. I had to revert my navbar template to the default because of my board logging members off continuously. So my template is the 3.6.4 default template and I can not find the <!-- PAGENAV POPUP --> code.

Do you see this in your navabar:
<!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->
It is right under it.

Wrapping the template edit in 'editor_smiliebox' with a conditional doesn't work?

ok error: i manage to upload the images by removing the [bburl] tags that were in the code that we need to put before popup menus...

BUT: when i upload pic: my forum url gets posted twice:

example: http://www.noviforum.net/www.novifor...layimg&imgid=3


so i just get red x instead of image showing
