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 ..

I worked this out...

I just uninstalled, and reinstalled the product...

Works fine now

[user02934123123]

This is a nice mod, which we're using on our forum.

My main gripe: The default setting is to set all uploaded images as private, so when a member uploads a file, it's viewable only to him/her. This can be changed, of course, by the member clicking 'Make public' for each image, etc.

However, the default wish for most people uploading images is that they be uploaded to be seen by others - i.e. as public. Yet I can see no configuration option to make the default setting for uploaded images in the hack to be made public. This would be a substantial improvement to the product: an AdminCP configuration setting that causes the default for images to be public, so that users don't have to change the setting individually on each image; rather, images would be public by default, and users can set individual images to private if they wish (which fits much better with normal user patterns).

Any chance for an update to accommodate this? I grow terribly weary of dozens of members uploading images, then complaining that they're not visible on the 'View All Member Images' listing, etc.

Or perhaps there is in fact a way to do this in the current version, that I've missed?

There is mate, it's an ACP setting

vBulletin Options > VB image hosting > Default image view privacy
yes = private
no = public

[suzanitta]

Great mod and works fine!

However in the list of member's images, I would like to have a sorting option by selecting the first letter of member's nickname, e.g. letter selector like the one memberlist.php is using. Any suggestions?
