-- 2. There was a header error in the admin panel, which was corrected by wajones... if future problems happens please tell me.

------end update.

Well everyone, I decided tonight to release this and just see what happens from there on. I got caught up in working on my multi-page profile for my site, and kind of forgot about this. Sorry I do that a lot, in which I am sure everyone does.

First off... please read all of the files that I have included in this, the Installation.txt file is something I slapped together at the last minute and probably needs proof read... but who cares. The Readme.txt file explains what all the files are, and has some other tidbit information.

The only things you will really need to upload is: upload.php, userhelp.html, vbuploadinstall.php and the images and image folder.

I tried to explain the best way to have it... is putting those three files in the root of your vb folder, then just upload the images folder, which will create a sub folder inside that for the two image icons. Then you will have to create another folder like I suggested named "uploaded" meaning uploaded pictures. Then you will have to chmodd that to 777 and go from there. Then you will have to go through the upload.php file and change the variable preferences to fit your site. I tried to do the best possible explanation of how to do it through my comments throughout the files. So pay attention to those, also feel free to customize the userhelp file to fit your site and everything.

One thing I kind of fell short on.. was a cool profile page.. I mean I included a getinfo template that I used when I first made this, which was on vb2.0.1 and now that added like ignore and stuff so.. you might just want to create your own template up in your favorite web page builder or in notepad.. whatever. And go from there with the variables that I include.

Just pretty much go through the installation files and everything and follow the steps and you should not have any problems.. not saying you won't but... hopefully the F.A.Q. file will help with that.

Some might hate it, some might like it... if you hate it.. don't download it.. or install it.

To uninstall, follow the steps you took to install it and reverse them

ALWAYS BACKUP Before doing hacks... installations, changes, etc!

**Warning** Install at your own risk!

and... there is no place like home! Just remember that!

P.S. search these forums.. for screen shots and there is no demo as of right now... well there was but I Took it down

Does it work now...

My directions are pretty good, but not the best... and somewhere in my directions I said you will have to go through the upload.php file to make sure that you check for all the comments I made.. to see if there is any other changes... that is my downfall.. next version if and when I complete and release it, will be a lot better and will take a lot less time to accomplish what you want done

When I try to click on the link in the CP, here is what I get. Everything else is working great.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare stripslashesarray() in /home/sites/home/web/gathering/admin/global.php on line 14

which page.. when you view the users with photos?

[pgowder]

Got it fixed, thanks!

I use this script and it's very nice but I would like to know if it is possible to know when an user have uploaded his pic by putting a small gif (like a mini camera) near his avatar. This gif will link to the user's profile and allow to see the photo.
Is it possible or someone have a better/other idea ?
Thx in advance

Does this hack work with safe mode turned on?

Bouddha,

If you have a camera icon... I will get this to work.. I have been searching when I get time to find one to use, and I cannot find one.. so I keep putting it off lol..

you find me one and I will type out the instructions on how to add it

and coolmody

not for sure, it should... I do believe it should work either way.

Brad you try this one.

[Bouddha]

Cool, this pic is very nice !
BradC> Thx in advance, it'll be great !

The icon is not transparent.. or when I saved as.. it wasn't.. but still none the less it will do.. and everyone can change it if they like

thanks webhost..

now.. on to.. where abouts you want to place it..

postbit template for sure... and maybe in the memberlist template..

question is do you want it underneath their avatar or name.. or beside, or would you like it on the bottom row, where the profile button, email, pm buttons are?
