[RELEASE vb2.0+] vB Photo Upload

Update : Sept 6

-- 1. The icons in the top right corner, one of them was suppose to point to the user help file but it was renamed and I forgot to update the code.
-- 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

I got the same error as SirSteve with the add-on. Does anyone know the solution?


thanks

[SirSteve]

And I am still waiting to get it fixed....

BradC has not even registered on this site yet. He has been REALLY busy on other projects and with school.. and everything. So you will probably be waiting a good while to get fixes for whatever problems were created when updates were made with vb.

The instructions have not been updated since 2.0.3 so for it to work with 2.2+ a new things will have to be changed to work with what was changed in the vb files.

btw.. why not try emailing him and see if you get a response.

currently, to help brad out as much as i can with the new improved photo upload, i am working on a total template upload script, which will allow the user "pages". Click on page one, to upload, delete, or change your picture and description, or just to display your first picture, which also uses all of your vb settings.

This also means a overhaul of the main script to accomodate the new changes made to VB after to the script's initial release.

Waiting for this!

brads coding style is a intricate, and very definitive, which has caused a couple of minor set-back in my bid to up his already fine script, however, hopefully in short time, she will be up for his approval soon.

The script worked perfectly on 2.2.1. It's just the add-on that I'm having problems with, I don't really understand the instructions.

[ToraTora!]

I talked to Brad and he said that he has everything fixed up and working with 2.2 and he said if and when he gets some time he will pass on the updates or fixes for everyone. So I will post them AS soon as I get them

[ToraTora!]

Ok, Brad has sent me this file, which he "says" should work and if there is any problems please email him! Cause it works for him.

I have looked for the instructions and they seem like they will work, yes the text file is a little cluttered, but we all have to work with what we are given.. :stupid:

Thanks for the addon update I installed it and it actually does work. However, I'm getting an error printing across the top of the forum...

Warning: getimagesize: Unable to open 'http://www.thingsarentwhattheyseem.com/vb/images/uploaded/1_photo.jpg' for reading. in /home/thingsar/public_html/vb/admin/functions.php on line 212


(btw, this forum is not open to the public, it's my test forum)


When I click the camera icon, I get the popup image. But it's very small and I have to resize it to view it well.

Any idea what is causing the error message?

thanks
