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 ..

Awesome hack. I hope my users will love it too.

One Question: I don´t want that guests could see the pictures. How can I do this?

Not with a clickable number like this (7)

I have this cosmetic issue also.

**edit to add**
Actually this was answered back in September 2006 ! But apparently not fixed yet.

Hi,
would be nice if you -if you already plan to do a new release this month-
could add your template modifications to a plugin,
using that fancy new template_hook -system

just a thought

Just add a new phrase
with the following setting :

Phrase Type: Global
Product: vb image hosting
Varname: open
Text : open

and it should work with you

Cheers Ranma2k,
I have that working now too. I did change the phrase name to vbimghost_open to make it consistent with your other phrases, plus altered the reference to the phrase in the editor_smiliebox template to match. Perfect now, thank you so much for this! :up:

Ranma2k, excellent work with this mod, I have about 1500 photos up there as we speak.

Question: is there a way to make the member's avatar show up beside their username?

Here is an example I made with photoshop:
