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).

Introduction:

What does it do ?

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 ..



URGENT ISSUES:

By no means am I attempting to supply support to this unsupported thread, but I have seen questions after questions with very little answers. So, maybe this will help answer a couple.

If you are getting these messages:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpeg()
or
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefrompng()
or
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromgif()

then make sure your server has GD enabled. This is a server issue, not a hack issue.

If you have members that are getting "you have exceeded the number of images allowed" even though they are not showing this on their statistics, then make sure you have every usergroup's permissions set properly. This hack does not simply pull from the default usergroup for members that are part of multiple usergroups.

These are things which I have encountered and resolved. I think this hack has some great potential, so does it's need for some support.

Thank you for the great mods. And I have the following question:

When seeing the content of the upload directory, I found a lot of files begining with tmp_ , tmp_24346795d83673a1 for instance.

What are these files and can I safely delete them?

Hello,

I've spent quite a bit of time searching for an answer to this question in this topic to no avail.

I'm wondering if I can limit the pictures to be only available for the forum I have it installed on. I really have no desire to be a free image hosting site for other sites my users frequent.

Here is an example of what I don't want to happen, a picture hosted on my site, but shows here:



If this has been answered before, I apologize.

Thanks!!

I tried to do this same thing but could never get it to work, even using a server file that was supposedly designed to keep people from linking outside of your host.

I tkink you're going to be stuck with people doing this, if you implement this mod.

BTW, it's a really nice mod with only a few minor issues, such as the PM display I mentioned earlier.

Just watermark the images with your URL or site logo, and consider it free advertising. I watermark all mine in the lower right corner:

So there would be an extra box for "host this image here" box when uploading attachments. I know a mod like that exists for photobucket and other image hosts (eg: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=147715 )

any takers?

bump!
