Major Additions - VB image Hosting

VB Image Hosting Version 1.0.1

This is the port for my hack to vb 3.6.x
check it for vb 3.5.x here

A New installer replaced the old one so you should not face any problems with database

NOTE :
People who were using vbimghost in vb 3.5.x and moved to vb 3.6.0 MAKE sure that you have vbimghost 1.4.1 Since this port will only support upgrading from that ver only
People who do a fresh install use this ver.

Requirements:

1. requires GD 2.0.1 or later (2.0.28 or later is recommended).
2. PHP ver 4.3.x or later (newer ver is better).

Hello, great product mate, with so much capabilities.

When u say in the admincp Max file size, u mean the max upload size per upload or the uploads all together? If its the first, how we can strict the max uploads ?

Also, when u say in the usergroups that the group can Administer images, u mean his images or overall?

Finally, i added the addon to have it display the imagecount on posts. Can i put there a conditional in which will not be displayed if its not enabled through the admincp, for this usergroup? (and also dont show the navbar link too) Can u feed me the code?

Ps

No Comments when u look the other pictures? Shame on you, it a must one feature:P

Ps2

Can i alter the code of the 5 last images, to 2 last images? What code i change?

Ok thank you very much. I have some suggestions for the next version...

Here goes:-

• That user watermark/ VIP no watermark one (;
• Users (not guests) have the ability to add coments to other peoples Public Photos
• Something fixed for the PM system, I noticed that in the postbit I put in My Photos: (*) (* been a number of photos they have uploaded) I noticed in a PM it says "My Photos: ()" attached is a screen shot, that better explains it.

EDIT 1:

EDIT 2:
I have solved my first issues, I forgot to replace "user" with my Cpanel Username. (Silly me!) This has solved my Re-build thumbnail issue, at the cost of this error when uploading:

Fatal error: imagepng() [<a href='function.imagepng'>function.imagepng</a>]: gd-png: fatal libpng error: zlib error in /home/echat/public_html/forums/includes/vbimghost_include.php on line 204

Looking forward to the next eddition ^^ just wondering does each member also have a gallery for pics they upload, or do they only get a link to there pic and if they forget that link then they have to upload again, if it is a gallery, who can view it etc.

Thanks.

[libertylounge]

Looking forward to the next version of this

When it's released I believe we'll be installing

[Triggerhappy]

Fantastic mod, at least on other forums my users or me wont have to use imageshack.

[phpdevrus]

i installed this fine but for some reason it didnt up keep all of my member's images. The images still exist in the same directory but it doesnt show up when i look in the vbimghost.php?do=userlist.

Did I do something wrong? How can I correct this issue?

[E.Blackadder]

What a fantastic amount of time and effort you have put into this mod....and your tireless efforts in helping those who have had installation problems is superb.

I congratulate you.

As soon as the next version is released with all the improvements I will definately be installing it!

great work Ranma
