------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

I think the better place to put it is just beside the name of the poster.
I'm impatient the see the result

don't be impatient... it takes me a long time just to get up in the mornings let alone accomplish anything on a given day

and.. I will do it both ways.. or all three, just to see what the results will be.. cause I think it is kind of a big icon to have posted right next to their name.

Take your time ! May the force be with you

Will actually work on it here in a few minutes..

and.. after looking back at my first.. php scripting lessons.. umm it needs a major overhaul lol

Ok.. I have attached a text document on how to do this.

But I want to let everyone know a couple of things. Which I also put in the text document.

It will post right next to the User's Title, and will be the attached icon above provided by Webhost.. thanks webhost

When you hover over it, it simply says "User has a photo to show" blah.. ok.. well when you click on it, it will pop open a fixed window.. and inside it will show the image.

It does not auto-resize to the size of the image, and it is not fancy... and the java code was provided to me by snyx awhile back.. still using it in the template

If you... come up with some auto-resizing code for this, would you please provide it to me.. I can play with it and maybe add some new stuff like a photo frame for the picture and .. stuff

Thanks,
Brad C.

Ok.. I have fixed the earlier version as best I could.. now it will popup just a little bit bigger than the picture..

play with this one.. cause I mixed up codes in the other one..

$post[photo_one] should be $post[picture_name] in the other file..

here is the new one:

[Bouddha]

Thank you ! You did it faster than I thought but... it doesn't run on my forum .
I think I did the way you explain (and I tried 3 times).
Maybe a little mistake in your code or maybe I'm wrong
Thx a lot

First which document did you download the second one?

I hope so..

and tell me what errors you are getting so I have something to go off of.

email me if you wish,

bradc@addictedusers.com

I had to update the text file... I am sure some people caught the error, but I updated the text file to reflect an error I made from converting from my version back to this version

Thank you so much for your email support, your script it's why I were really looking for
