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 ..

In the uninstall directions is this instruction:

"you'll have to manualy delete the table vbimghost from the database."

How exactly does one do this? Think newbie.

/home/users/public_html/forums/ is the default setting which is not yours for sure ..!

i have set up the correct path but it still give that error. Let's say, if we do go with your answer then it means that it should give an error when you try to upload a file because it can't find the correct path but it doesn't happen. So could you please help me out, thank you! btw it is a great mod and i liked it

the easiest solution would be to run a manual query in your admin control panel. Login to Admin Control panel, Maintenance->Execute SQL Query. Then in the manual query box copy the following

DROP TABLE tableprefixvbimghost

this should work, do not forget to replace the "tableprefix" with your own table prefix if you have set up one.

Also note that the image are actually in the folder on the server, but do not appear in the user account as an uploaded image.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Do you have GD library installed ?

the only way to protect against that is using the hot link protection
which will not allow to use any other site except yours

		$vbimghost['width']=$row['imgwidth'];
		$vbimghost['height']=$row['imgheight'];
		$vbimghost['date']=date('Y-m-d', $row['imgdate']);
		if (file_exists($vbulletin->options['imgdir']."/".$row['thumbname'])){
			$vbimghost['thumbpath']=$vbulletin->options['bburl']."/".$vbulletin->options['imgdir']."/".$row['thumbname'];
			$vbimghost['thumbsize']=0;
		}else{ 
			$vbimghost['thumbpath']=$vbimghost['path'];
			if ($row['imgwidth'] <= $vbulletin->options['imgthumw'])
				$vbimghost['thumbsize']=$row['imgwidth'];
			else 
				$vbimghost['thumbsize']=$vbimghost['imgthumw'];
		}
			eval('$mimghost .= "'.fetch_template('vbimghost_memberbit') . '";');
			 $vbimghost['more'] = "<a href='vbimghost.php?do=viewimages&id=$userinfo[userid]'>" .construct_phrase($vbphrase['vbimghost_viewmore'],$row2['mark'])."</a>";
	 } 
}else{
		$vbimghost['more'] = "";
		eval('$mimghost ="'.fetch_template('vbimghost_memberbit_noimg') . '";');
}

$vbimghost['last5'] = $mimghost;

eval('$home["$mods[modid]"][\'content\'] = "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_vbimghost_module') . '";');
?>

Name the file (last5.php) and save it int he module folder

Now create a template with the following name ( adv_portal_vbimghost_module )
and put this code in it

<tr>
<td>
<table class="tborder" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" width="100%">
<tbody>
	<tr align="center">
		$vbimghost[last5]
	</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
</tr>

Now go to vbadvanced and chose Add Module --> select PHP FILE

in there set the following :

Module Title : Last 5 images uploaded
Column : center
Active : yes
Update All Pages: yes ( if you want it to be displayed on all pages )
File to include : last5.php
Templates Used : adv_portal_vbimghost_module
Clean File Output: no
Use Module Shell Template: yes


and it should work with you

Does anyone know if there is a way to show the username of the user who posted the image underneath each of the last 5 images uploaded?

[BadgerDog]

Anyone?

Excellent mod...

The only issue I have found is cosmetic. If you install the optional script mod to show the number of images (it's clickable) in the post function under the username, it works great. However, it also appears in PM's, but only the brackets show

ie: ()

Not with a clickable number like this (7)

Not sure why?

Thanks again ...

Badger

[utw-Mephisto]

Is there any way to upload the files on another server (different IP etc.) ?

[bostton1]

any word when the description and comments part will be enabled?

will people be able to create different "albums" within their gallery?

this is a great mod, I just need those last two functions.

thanks
