Just a couple of questions how can I make "View All Users Images" set to admin only so users cannot click it?

And also how could I view the private images in case I ever get a member that is not sticking with the rules and ends up uploading illegal images.

I know I can view them from the server but it would be much easier from the board


Thank you for any help

well the "view all users images" will only display public images set by the owners
if you want to hid the url from the menu

in the navbar
search for

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="vbimghost.php?do=userlist">$vbphrase[vbimghost_menulistuser]</a></td></tr>

and replace it with

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], 6)">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="vbimghost.php?do=userlist">$vbphrase[vbimghost_menulistuser]</a></td></tr>
</if>

this will only show the link to the administrators

as to show the private image i'm going to add it in the next release even though i'm against it

Thanks for that Ranma2k working great



Yeah I agree, but we cannot seem to trust people these days which is a shame.

I just don't want to get a knock on the door cos someone has illegal stuff on my server

Just a suggestion: What about a multi-upload-feature as used for attachments?
It would be pretty hard to upload whole image series when using this single upload.
This feature should have the admin option to set the numbers of files allowed for one upload and specific usergoup permissions, which usergroup should be able or not to use multi upload.

Then there's a problem with the thumbnail function in v1.2: It creates a thumbnail from the upper left corner of the uploaded image in size of given dimensions, not of the full image. The thumbnail still displayed a fragment of the image, not the full "resized" image. Any chance to change this ?

The multi upload will be added in the next release
as for the Thumbnail it was just a quick function I'll be using VB way or make another one
Problem is the short time i have these days because of my work i only be able work on it on the weekends

[Mr_Devlin]

Thx 4 ur quick reply

Just installed - I like this.

Personally I'd prefer it be kept simple and as lean as it is now.

A suggestion: A feature to add keywords to images (and a search function for them), so you can use it as an image management system for your site (news/reviews/tutorials/...) and you can easily reuse images. Ofcourse there should be an option in the AdminCP to turn it off.

I don't know if this is possible, but I would love it
