vB Member Photo

vB Member Photo
by Velocd

This hack, as well all my other vB2 hacks, I no longer provide support for (being I run vB3 and it's too much hassel to debug vB2). When vB3 Release Candidate comes out, by request I might convert some of my hacks.

Updates:

Latest update was version 1.3b on 08.01.03.


Description:

It's been ages since my last hack, due to my lack of time for coding lately. This feature here though is one I developed for my forum about a week ago, and just recently completed making the instructions for it so I could release it on vBulletin.org.

Just as the name implies, this hack will allow your members to upload a photo of themselves (or whatever you allow), then that photo will be stored in a directory of your website. In addition to just the photo, using the GD2.0 Library, thumbnails are generated corresponding to each members photo and placed inside the directory. A new link via the memberlist nav page will then be able for access to view these images all organized neatly in a photo gallery.

In addition to just this, there is a verification system integrated with the ACP for easy checking of images the members upload, before they are placed in the photo gallery.

The main reason I developed this hack is because all the other photo gallery hacks are pretty.. well, ineffective.

Features:

• Utilizes GD2.0 to automatically generate thumbnails for your uploaded images
• Organized photo gallery with a very easy-to-browse interface
• Verification system allows efficient methods of regulating what is shown in the photo gallery
• A wide variety of customizable options via the Admin CP

Requirements/Restrictions:

• GD2.0 Library is absolutely needed, which comes pre-installed with the latest PHP version, 4.3.0.
• This script does not support multiple-image uploads, and I will not be releasing a version of this hack does!
• Because the GD library does not support the GIF image format, the photo gallery does not either. The only images that can be uploaded are PNG and JPG. (I hardly think this will be an issue for the most of us)

Installation:

1. Upload install_photo.php to your admin directory, and run it through your browser. All instructions for this hack are listed in there.
2. After the hack is installed, go to your "admin cp -> options" page and set the member photo gallery options to your own preference.

Screenshots:

Refer to the next several posts.

If you use this hack, please remember to click install!

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpeg() in /home/*****/public_html/forums/gdresize.php on line 9

I keep gettin a error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpeg() in /home/squareul/public_html/forums/gdresize.php on line 5

when people are tryin to upload their pics. It gets into the photo album but with just a big X.

I'm using 1.3 and line 5 in that file would be

if (preg_match("/jpg|jpeg/",$system[1])){$src_img=imagecreatefromjpeg($name);}

I have gdresize and everytghing. This hack worked perfectly on my old server but i recently moved to a newer one but with the same php 4.3.1 and i just get that error. Can someone help me out herrE?

[JamieK18T]

does someone want to post the code needed to allow users to add multiple pictures?

Thank you for a nice hack. I have installed with no problems.

Looking forward to the multiple uploads! Let me know if you need a tester...

Add Photo To Profile..

I dident add the approval system because i know i will never use it, but its easy to encode if someone needs it..

This is the first time ive modded a hack before, so dont scream at me if im doin it wrong

member.php

Just Before

PHP Code:

  
  eval("dooutput("".gettemplate("getinfo")."");");
  
}
    
// ############################### start aim message ############################### 


Add

PHP Code:

$checkphoto = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT comments,visible FROM memberphoto WHERE userid='$userinfo[userid]'");
 
 if($checkphoto){
            $profilephoto = "<img src="memberpics/photo$userinfo[userid]_$userinfo[photonum].$userinfo[phototype]">";
  
        } else {
            $profilephoto = "$userinfo[username] hasen't uploaded a photo yet.";
    }

    if($checkphoto['comments'] != ""){
        $photomessage = $checkphoto['comments'];     
    } 


Then in your getinfo Template put

$profilephoto<br> $photomessage

Where you want the photo to appear..

Thanks Steve123, I have been waiting for a long time for someone to come up with some code to do that,.
Is there a way of only having the thumbnail pic in the profile instead of the full pic?

Thanks again

I have just checked with my host and they have said that GD is installed on my server but that it is an earlier version.

They also said that I can't have it upgraded because the earlier version allowed for more file types.

Looks like I'll have to wait around until they decide to upgrade the system.

I have an earlier version of GD also. I changed a couple of bits in gdresize.php and fingers crossed, so far it seems to work.

I offer no guarantee's, but if it helps someone my gdresize.php is attached.

Thank's a lot. I'm just going to upload it now and give it a go!!!!

Fingers crossed<><><><><><>
