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).

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?

Ty

max file size / upload

as for administration ( overall)

and yes you can put a condition in the template to do that ..

As for comment system it will be add hopefully with the next release

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:

vbimghost_title: From VB Image Host to Gallery.

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

yah there is a missing plugin for the pm system so i'll fix that in the next release
the next release will have many fixes and modifed stuff based on the members requests

Thanks.

no each have his own gallery and he can get the link from there if he forgot it .

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

in order to view the pics the owner of the image have to set it to public view
if it's privat you won't be able to see it

only admins from the admin cp can view all images public / private

Hello,
I was wondering if there will there be an option down the road that users can catergorize and organize their images instead of just uploading them with no organization?

[Hornstar]

I just uploaded a pic and got this error, i think it kind of still worked but wondering how to fix this error

i got that error after uploading a pic, and it was shown on the redirection screen.





I disabled watermark and I dont get the error anymore, so how do i fix this because I really want to watermark.

also I got a request.

Make it so we can set how big the file the usergroup can upload instead of only 1 setting for everyone.

Because I will probably want to make it so guests can only upload smaller pics but then members can upload a bit begger etc.

And also to make the watermark always happen for certain usergroups and as an option for others.
Thanks.

[Kmurray]

I dont get that watermark to work at all. I tried both text and a PNG image but none of them show after upload a pic. Is there something im missing?

[HtK MLG]
