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).

NOTE:
before you post any error here :
Set that path to your forums correctly in the vbimghost options.
if you getting the error ""supplied argument is not a valid"
that's because you didn't set the path correctly

And for all the people asking when is the next release it will be in 2007 not this month .. due to some problems in real life ..

Thanks, I was looking for it through my FTP (I'm still in phpbb2 mode). It is installed and works, but I am getting some error messages.

When I add am image it throws up a bunch of error messages (Too quickly to copy and paste ) , but the upload still works. Any ideas on that?

Also, I had a few images that will not delete because I pulled them from the directory through FTP. So now they are stuck in my dbase with no image. Any idea how to pull them? Using delete does not work

Thanks,
Matt

Look through post, it is mentioned.

Thanks, I made it through the first 7 pages with no luck. I have a clean install and it looks like most problems are from an upgrade. The pictures still upload.

Here are my errors:

edit: Gotcha, thanks.


I have a new error now. I changed the watermark from text to image and now I get this:

Warning: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/user/public_html/forums/imagehosting/watermark.jpg) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/hookedon:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /includes/vbimghost_include.php on line 221

Warning: getimagesize(/home/user/public_html/forums/imagehosting/watermark.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /includes/vbimghost_include.php on line 221

The watermark image is in the vbimagehost folder where the uploaded images are stored.

If I turn off the watermark I get no errors at all, so this is a problem related to the watermark

Thanks,
Matt

Alright, I see what you were saying. thanks. That part is fixed.

I am down to one error now. The image uploads, but no watermark and this one error:

Warning: getimagesize(/home/hookedon/public_html/forums/imagehosting/watermark.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/vbimghost_include.php on line 221

Thanks!
Matt

God help me...

I fixed the error, I had to remove the "Forums" from the path. No errors now!

But.... The watermark is still not working

The text watermark works, but it is small and the font blows. The image watermark just doesn't work at all. I have tried .jpg and .png on .jpg images. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated!

This is an awesome hack. The hack would be even better with a few organizational options however. Right now, its got all the functionality it needs for the individual however if the community wants to view photos I find it to be limiting.

How hard would it be to have the option of categorizing the photos when a user chooses to view all member images? In the admincp I'd like to be able to set a category and have it be a mandatory field to fill out (dropdown capable) when a user uploads a photo. Then when a member wants to view all images, they can order them by category.

Thoughts? BTW I hate Photopost with a passion. This hack puts it to shame in terms of ease of use.
