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).

in your navbar find

PHP Code:

<td id="vbimghost" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#vbimghost" >$vbphrase[vbimghost_title]</a>
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("vbimghost");</script></td> 


where

PHP Code:

$vbphrase[vbimghost_title] 


replace with what you want so would be something like

"Your Website Image Hosting"

so it would then look something like this:

PHP Code:

<td id="vbimghost" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#vbimghost" >Your Websites Image Hosting</a>
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("vbimghost");</script></td>

Love the mod! Works great, but was wondering if there is a mod to show a gallery icon next to peoples names in posts? Thanks again for the great mod!

Sam, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

   1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
   2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I do not know how to set what user groups can upload. Can you help me?

@Skateboard -

you your admincp > usergroups > usergroup manager > pick which usergroup you want to edit and edit the permissions for the vb image hosting options for each usergroup

Well, now I'm running into an issue, but I'm not sure what it's from.

When trying to upload an image:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/vbulletin/imagehosting/tmp_85764624db6ab9935) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /vbimghost.php on line 640

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for /vbulletin/imagehosting/85764624db6aba8d1.jpg in /vbimghost.php on line 696

When trying to delete that uploaded file (because it's blank), I get this:

Warning: unlink(/vbulletin/imagehosting/85764624db3ba8dab.jpg) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /vbimghost.php on line 897

I have chmodded the upload directory (/vbulletin/imagehosting) to 777, but I still get this error.

Any ideas?

This fixed the issue with adding images.

However, if I try and delete an image that was uploaded while having the errors show, I still get the error:

Warning: unlink(/vbulletin/imagehosting/85764624db3ba8dab.jpg) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /vbimghost.php on line 897

But I can at least delete images that show up.

The images that I tried to upload while I was recieving the error messages just show up as red x's now.

How can I remove these?

[Red Matrix]

Installed.

I had a problem, since my skin's navbar didn't have the vbmenu_control text I was asked to search for. I'll tweak it later. Thanks for the mod.

You'll have to scroll all the way down to get to the vBimgHost options.

I don't understand why people don't upload the entire contents of the /forum folder into their forums root as the instructions state. (domain.com/ or domain.com/forums). It would solve a lot of these "I forgot to upload 1 xml" or "I missed a file" because all the files are already in the directory structure they need to be in.

If you find that your FTP program fails a lot with entire folder uploads, consider FileZilla, or use your host's webFTP program.
