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).

Introduction:

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

uninstall the whole thing. go into your server and delete the vbimagehost file in your database manually. reinstall everything and youll be good.

Great mod, installed it on my forum.

I have the same question as some others, I've used the 1.0.1 version, but it is showing me version 1.0.0 ... Is there someting wrong in the zip file?

Great Mod. Installed and works like a charm.

"View all users images" is nice but can't we make it in a Gallery style, where you click on Gallery and all the pictures would show up !

It would also be nice to able to set how many images to show in the Gallery first page, before switching to next page.

Is there a query that can be run to remove images from the database that don't a respective file?
When our server crashed sometime ago, we lost a few days worth of image uploads, because of that, they can't be removed from the adminpanel OR the imagehosting area, because it tries to unlink the file first, and fails
I tried removing the check from the file itself, but it doesn't parse after doing that

Ok, for those who run VB on a hosted website and who have, like me, been struggling to get this mod to work on their sites - here is a solution (Thanks to VBadvanced)

VBadvanced include a nice script that will provide you with the folder structure (i.e filepath) of your site. simply register and download thier CMPS module. You will find the file you need in the extras (do not upload). File required is forumpath.php, instructions for its use are shown in the file.


upload, execute quesry i.e www.yoursitename/forums/forumpath.php

It will then return the query

ie. /home/a/b/c/d/e/yoursite/forum

This will then enable you to run VB image hosting on your site hosted server.

By the way, VBadvanced is a great mod and worth installing anyway

I hope this helps everyone out, I had been frustrated trying to sort this out for ages.

By the way - top mod!

Hi there - I don't know if this mod can do this, but would it be hard to do? :

I am looking to add to this an icon on the post editor menu so that users can view the gallery (i.e. a pop up) and select an image to post?

In the Editor_smilebox
Find:

</fieldset>
<else />
<div id="smiliebox" style="display:none"></div>
</if>

after it add:

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