viPortfolio 1.2.6 Beta Release

======= =======
viPortfolio Version 1.2.6

This is our first hack. And not our last. We have spent a lot of time polishing it for stability and interface. Thanks for the patience and support so far.

Extract the viPortfolio-1.2.6.zip file which will create a viPortfolio
subdirectory. Upload the directory to your root Web server directory where your forum code is located. From a Web browser run: http://{yourserver}/viPortfolio/install.php and follow the steps.

We would appreciate any feedback regarding this hack. Interface, changes for future versions and so on. We will offer support for this hack - we will not be responsible for errors - as always, BACK UP YOUR data base.

We have spent a lot of time on this and all we ask is that our copyright notice remain in tact at the bottom of portfolio pages. Thanks!

Along with viPortfolio we are making use of a new install.php version 1.2.6. The install.php has not had the amount of testing that viPortfolio has. With that said we are looking for your assistance in notifying VisibleImpact.com of any error messages or difficulties you may have with the install.

*** Updated installer ****
I have totaly rewritten the installer to take out all the flash and make it a simple step by step install. Atleast I hope that is what it is It is definately worth trying.

I am not sure if I understood all the problems you are experiencing.

Lets try:
1. gif thumbnails do not show.
2. popups on jpg do not show.
3. all users show the same thumbnails.

None of the above is supposed to happen

You mention version 1.0.4? If that is the version you are on you need to upgrade. version 1.2.6 is our latest version. If you can give a screen shot of what you are seeing that could possible help also. A url so I can go see the site live would be even better.

Martin64,
My bad, I have fixed your bug

I have thought of creating a sort link in memberslist that would sort the users by how many attachments they have posted. I think that might cover both of your requests? Let me know and I can put that out. Should be pretty simple, hopefully

Ok as attachment is my Screenshot.
All Users Portfolio shows the same Thumbnails with the latest Version. In an older Version there are different this is OK !

Hope you can help !

I got pretty far on the install of this script. I really like it, and this is my second attempt at installing it.

I was running Version 2.2.6 of VB, with PHP 4.1.1 and php_gd.dll enabled for all scripts. Server is Win2k Server.

Here is a screen shot.



Where I ran into problems was:

#1. Uploading a file created a problem


CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are

And that was it.

However, it DID upload the file, created the thumbnail, and everything seemed to work fine on the portfolio page.

#2. I did not test it very far, as the site is extremely active, and I didn't want to keep it down for long. I restored from a backup I made before I started. What I did notice is that when I clicked on the portfolio for my username, or any username, it showed the image that -I- uploaded, under everyones portfolio. Not sure if it is something I missed or not.

Either way, hope this helps a bit.

Ok... I know it's been a while for this hack but I have a few questions.

I tried to manually install this hack. I was able to install it up until I get to executing the query. So I went and ran the uninstall sql files to drop the tables and templates. Then I ran the install.php. Everything went in fine doing this except when I go into the VBulletin Options under the Admin cp and go to viPortfolio options, all the options are listed twice. Are these listed in the mysql database? How can I get rid of one set of these options?

My second question is this. When someone uploads an image, it shows a black thumbnail instead of a thumbnail of the image. When you click on the black thumbnail, the image opens in a new window like it's supposed to do. How do I fix the thumbnail problem?

[tomjinx1]

got the first part fixed for the double entries in the Admin CP...

The black thumbs seems to only happen when a picture size isn't the standard 1:3 ratio... if it's 640x480, then it usually shows. If it's something wierd such as 640x700 then I get the black thumb. It also seems like I get the black thumbnails when a image doesn't upload all the way. which brings me to my new second problem....

It's not uploading correctly. I am getting alot of 1/4 and 1/2 images...

Any ideas?
