[RELEASE vb2.0+] vB Photo Upload

Update : Sept 6
-- Thanks to wajones who pointed out a couple of things, I updated the files.
-- 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

if everyone of you hast the problem that the uploaded images get not the right CHMOD to be display here a way to get it work:

find in upload.php:

PHP Code:

exec("cp $picture $path/$chacha"); 


add after that:

PHP Code:

chmod("$path/$chacha",0777); 


and now it will work i had the same problem on my server an now it is fixed.

I hope you like this addition

Hi Board..
I have uploaded this program and all the templates etc.
Thought I was ready... but when I executed the upload.php i got a Parse error:

parse error, expecting `','' or `';'' in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/myhost.com/httpdocs/userforums/upload.php on line 124

This is my line 124...

[PHP]echo"<TD bgcolor=\"$headcolor\" bordercolor=\"$headcolor\" bordercolorlight=\"$headcolor\" bordercolordark=\"$headcolor\" height=17><table border=0 width=100% cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td width=33%><b><font face=\"$font\" color=\"$headcolortext\" size=$smallerfontsize>&nbsp;Photo Upload Information</font></b></td><td width=64%></td><td width=3%><a href="$cpurl/usercp.php?"><img border=0 src=images/photoalbum/upload_files/profile.gif width=15 height=14 alt=\"Click here to view your profile control panel.\"></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=userhelp.htm onclick=\'window.open(this.href,'name','225','225' ,'yes');return false\'><img border=0 src=images/photoalbum/upload_files/question.jpg width=18 height=19 alt=\"Click here to view a user manual, if you are not for sure about something.\"></a></td></tr></table";

I have downloaded a fresh copy... and still get an error on this line... Can anyone see what I cant see. ... The error

Thanks, this looks like a great peice of code.

I go back to BradC's original hack.. his first, and it scares me.. at times me and him wonder how some even got it installed, or it actually worked.. lol

KPI, most likely it is not on that line, I mean it could be.. but it could be on the line above that. If you want, send your file.. and some brief info to Brad, and let him take a quick look at it.. I don't think anyone has listened to me when I say email him and he will help, but he will .. just might be a day or two before he checks his email .

if you don't want to.. to sum it up, that parse error is because of a missing or changed line of code, did you happen to mess with it at all.. like change some wording or what not.. ?

[streamzone]

can someone please help with the above help thanks

[scsa20]

the following just gives me a error:

PHP Code:

require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/forums/global.php"); 


and the error is:

[quote]
Fatal error: Failed opening required '/home/scsa20/public_html/forums/forums/global.php' (include_path='') in /home/scsa20/public_html/forums/upload.php on line 15
[/qoute]

so I change it to:

PHP Code:

require('./global.php'); 


and that seems to work, but everytime you upload a picture, it refreshes to http://upload.php .... how can I make it stop doing that and just refresh it to forums.simon-soft.com/upload.php ??

thanks (and I know this is old)
