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).

Hope someone can help.

I would really appreciate anything on this! I really need to rebuild thumbnails!

[cartooner]

I am getting some members who are having problems with .gif and some .bmp images. I am geting comments like these.

*Member) Is anyone else having trouble uploading .gif pic on VB Image Host?
All I get is a white screen when I try to upload .gif pics.

I don't have any trouble with any format but .gif. I just noticed it when I was uploading pics and having trouble until I found out it was the .gif format, it was OK when I changed the pics to .jpeg

Member)I've had a lot of problems with GIFS (no movement gifs) for some reason!
I always open those up in PSP & change it to a JPEG
No clue why though???

A lot of them give me NO choice??? It's either you save the pic as a GIF (and this also happens with 'Bitmap's" also), or you can't save the pic????

Again, NO CLUE!*

I am running the most recent version of the VBImghost, and VBulletin 3.6.1 with an upgrade due to be done very soon to 3.6.3

Any one else having trouble like this.??

.gifs dont seem to be getting watermarked and tthe water mark on jpg pics under the default thumbnail size extends out of the image. As long as the image is larger than the default thumbnail size the watermarks aspect ratio is fine. Any ideas?

Example .jpg image:

I entered my forum path here but it isnt displaying to upload images
http://www.chavmagnet.com/vbimghost.php

No, I mean, I will upload the Pics to a secound Server via FTP or some what.
Because I use a seperate uploadServer to hoste the Images.

This has to do with file/directory permissions. chmod is the command to change them, 777 indicates that the dir/file in question is read/write/execute for everyone and everything.

How you go about doing this specifically depends on your host/tools. If your host uses cpanel you can use the file manager or even easier nowadays you can use many ftp programs.

Although this is a simple safe change overall file permissions (who can read/write/execute what) are instrumental to site security so in general you should not be mucking around with them if you don't understand. Beyond something simple like this get real life assistance.

Hmm... ok, I made the change to the editor_smiliebox template and when I click Open and then click an image it doesn't add it to the edit box if I have selected "Enhanced Interface" for the message editor. Instead the images are displayed in the header of the page...

Has anyone else noticed this?

A lot of my users use the enhanced editor.

[tim99]

Yes exactly that with IE6 and 7. Seems to work fine with Firefox.

It doesn't seem to be supported anymore. Its too bad, it's a really nice effort that has a lot of potential.

peace . . .
