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 ..

This is an excellent and useful mod. My kudos for your efforts.

If possible, I would love to see an addition whereby every IMG being linked to within a post were to automatically be imported into and hosted by the imagehost database.

As an example, I post news stories which I find, and add in the stories' images when present. Many news servers will eventually move or trash their stories which breaks the image links within my posts. To prevent that from happening I would need to first download the image to my PC, import it into the imagehost mod, mark it as public, and then copy the IMG BBcode for inclusion into my post. Ideally, there'd be a process which parses a new post for any non-forum-server IMG tag, auto-import it, auto-mark as public, and then auto-substitute for the new image's hosted URL. Perhaps it would be a new BBcode for auto-importing and hosting of non-forum-server images.

Would such an expansion of auto-hosting be feasible?

Update: Ah, I found the installation instructions under category D for "Quick Uploads".

I tried the "Quick Upload" feature but it wasn't as quick and easy as I would have liked. Any way of automating the hosting/watermarking from a URL rather than from a local drive?

For requirements.. What is this? "GD 2.0.1 or later" please? I'd like to install this but am not sure if I have this since it's not ringing any bells in the ole memory banks.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of using this modification.

Have you patched this against exploits? I.e. uploading a script such as "picture.gif.php"?

Any known exploits regarding this product?

Thanks in advance.
