[RELEASE vb2.0+] vB Photo Upload

Update : Sept 6
-- Thanks to wajones who pointed out a couple of things, I updated the files.
-- 1. The icons in the top right corner, one of them was suppose to point to the user help file but it was renamed and I forgot to update the code.
-- 2. There was a header error in the admin panel, which was corrected by wajones... if future problems happens please tell me.

------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 got the same exact thing so I e-mailed Brad and he said he didn't know what was wrong... sigh........

Thanks for the addon update I installed it and it actually does work. However, I'm getting an error printing across the top of the forum...

(btw, this forum is not open to the public, it's my test forum)


When I click the camera icon, I get the popup image. But it's very small and I have to resize it to view it well.

Any idea what is causing the error message?

thanks

On a whim, I just deleted $imagehw = GetImageSize($thephoto); from the functions.php (part of the hack) and reloaded it, and it removed the error, and the popup still works

hey! That did do it! Thanks!

I get this when trying to view the install instructions:

Changes to admin/index.php:
find:

<center><a href="index.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=home"> Control Panel Home </a></center>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" id="navtable">

<tr><td><hr></td></tr>

Immediately below the last line from above, paste the following:
<tr><td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" id="navtable">
<br>
<b>Fatal error</b>: Call to unsupported or undefined function makenavselect() in <b>/usr/www/users/gandalf/starwarsguide.com/vbportal/forums/filechanges.html</b> on line <b>51</b><br>

and that's it. My guess is because of the new changes in 2.2.0...

[ToraTora!]

$imagehw = GetImageSize($thephoto);

that line and two other lines, are the one that gets the size of the image. With that it is what makes the popup window resize to fit the image, instead of being a default size.

and SirSteve I don't know what you did on your last post.. cause you should have the filechanges file on your hard drive to look at, not on your website. Cause you should only need to look at that once, and why are you looking at that.. for the postbit addon.

[grumpy]

It wouldn't get my image size though, just the error message. Should the code be different to achieve this?

Or could it be a permissions error since it says it cant 'read' it? Just guessing at that. The photos loaded set themselves at 600. I dont have a clue if this matters.

It's not for the postbit addon but vb Photo Upload (from the beginning). I uploaded vbpinstall and html file, skipped the table creation and that's where the errors are. I need to re-install this hack.

[grumpy]

Regarding the $imagehw = GetImageSize($thephoto); in the postbit-addon hack, I put it back in to try to get it to work because the thumbnails sucked.

When I originally loaded this hack, I received the error at the top of the page:

Warning: getimagesize: Unable to open 'http://www.thingsarentwhattheyseem.com/vb/images/uploaded/1_photo.jpg' for reading. in /home/thingsar/public_html/vb/admin/functions.php on line 212



Then it worked for the day (not sure why), I showed it off to friends. But just now, it's doing it again, and I haven't changed it anymore.

I found an interesting site that examined why GetImageSize doesn't always work. There are several workarounds but I don't know how to make them work here, if they even will in this situation. Maybe someone that knows what they are doing could take a look when you get a chance?

[SirSteve]

Just make your pop-up window the same size as your max allowed image size...

[grumpy]

Well thank you, SirSteve I'm well known for making this much more complicated than they have to be. I have altered the height/width accordingly and now it's all safe to release, thanks
