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 ..

Yes is working


Anybody knows how to do it with thumbnails in the profile?

I installed this without any apparent problem, set the permissions on the `imagehosting' directory to 0777, and made sure the module was turned on in the admin control panel.. When I choose the `upload an image' menu item I get a message `You don't have permission to use this page'. Any idea what I might be missing?

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for the information earlier. Did you check the usergroup settings? Seemed to be the only thing missing that stopped me as well.

i just upgraded from 1.0 to 1.0.1 and now when i try to upload a picture i get this message

Note that the quick upload will set the image viewing permission to public in order to add it to the post

i checked the permissions and they look fine

any tips?

Is there anyway to remove a non existant image from a user's directory?

Reason being, we had a revert on our forum and lost a few days worth of hosted images
Because the database still thinks the images are there, it won't remove them from the imagehosting panel, because the files no longer exist

I've been getting this error since switching hosts.

Warning: imagejpeg() [function.imagejpeg]: Unable to open 'http://www.site.com/forum/imagehosting/14687e00dc9a59.jpg' for writing in /includes/vbimghost_include.php on line 209

suggestion/request:

would be great if could integrate this with uploading attachments to a thread/post. So there would be a "host this image here" box when uploading attachments. I know a mod like that exists for photobucket and other image hosts (eg: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=147715 )

any takers?
