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 ..

Great Hack!

I can upload images. they do appear in the respective directory (including the thumbnail) but they do not appear on the page when I view either my iamges or all user images - I can see the images have uploaded into the directory but that is all ... any suggestions?

Working now It was a path error with the host - great hack - thanks

[Ascor]

Oh yes !!!! This is a great mod, i love it, it's easy to install and work perfect, thank you very mutch Ranma2k
Now i don't need to look for gallery this one is so good
It's nice when comment to picture and rating can be donne in a next version, and when i can make a new suggestion:
View permission are private or public, i need one more, or changing the defaut private to private but allowed for people
who are in the friend/buddy list, the same way at myspace, is there any solution ?

"click install and Mod o.t. Month"

[jaks]

I posted about some errors but they were unrelated to this mod and i posted them in the 3.5.4 thread...oops. Anyway this is working flawlessly except the Text Watermark size 4 doesn't seem to work but that could be my board and I'm using and image so no worries.

Question:
Where would I find the code that actually gets added to the posts? I want to add a "Click Image to see Full Size Image" or something like it.

Suggestion:
It would be nice to have Image Description and some options to use other tags like Floating Image (IMGL and IMGR) although that's easy to add the L or R to the tags and maybe HTML code option so that ALT tags could be used on the full size view.

Dreaming:
It's too bad the old VBAgallery and now the new Photopost VBGalley didn't do something like this so that adding pics to posts wasn't such a chore. Think there might be a way to tie this in with it?

İnstalled Np...
Beautiful Just Beautiful Hack..
Thx..

I have this installed and it is great but I have one small problem. The option to open your images does not appear in the signature or PM creation screen. Instead you're left with a simple [] where the [open] should be. It is explained in more detail by one of my users:

---------------------------------------------

k I've tracked down that bug (it's also identical on the create sig page)

this is what the error looks like in both cases (probably same template)

as you can see there's nothing between the []'s for open as in post reply:

the bad code set looks like this:

<fieldset id="vbimghostbox" title="Gallery">
<legend>My Images</legend>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="smallfont" colspan="3">
[<a href="#" onclick="window.open('vbimghost.php?do=popup&ed=vB_Editor_001','vbimghost1','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=550,height=500'); return false" title="Pick"></a>]&nbsp;[<a href="#" onclick="window.open('vbimghost.php?do=popupload&ed=vB_Editor_001','vbimghost2','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=562,height=97'); return false" title="Upload">Quick Upload]</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>

Note you see there's just a spacer (;nbsp) and not the word 'Open' hence you can't open your image gallery for hot linking) Also I'd recomend in all templates a <br> tag thrown in between the 2 as the 'quick uplink' tends to wrap in the space given.

---------------------------------------------

Has anyone else encountered this issue and if so how did you fix it?

Thanks.

Thanks.

The phrase "open" is in the "Thread Management" phrasetype, and the sig editor don't use this phrasetype. Two possible solutions:

• Ranma2k updates his mod by adding a new vbphrase especially for the mod (for display "Open" correctly in the sig editor).
• Add the 'threadmanage' in the profile.php file. Search this:
  PHP Code:

  $phrasegroups = array('user', 'timezone', 'posting', 'cprofilefield', 'cppermission'); 

  And modify to this:
  PHP Code:

  $phrasegroups = array('user', 'timezone', 'posting', 'cprofilefield', 'cppermission', 'threadmanage'); 


The better way to correct this is the second for the moment.

-----------------------

So, I've found a little thing to fix (very trivial). When you see your images (vbimghost.php?do=myimages), for the file size, the 'KB' is missing (not missing from the admincp when you see images for all users). If the 'KB' expression can be added into the language system...

Thanks

Or... just go into the phrase manger (languages and Phrases) and do the following:


Open Global (should be the default opened)
add new phrase
variable = open
Text = Open

Save and enjoy
