------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

SirSteve... I know that it works.. and I know now that the postbit addon will work.. cause Brad has tested it.

Brad has totally changed things around and they still work..

the best thing for ya to do is email Brad and somehow give him a link where it can look at it himself.. and I am sure he will help solve your problem.

[SirSteve]

ok. Thanks!

Stupid question.. maybe offtopic.. but:

if your provider doesnt let you compile an external program,
and doesn't have image-magic or another resizing proggy installend...
and the new providers only have GD with png but no jpg support...
is there a way in php or perl to resize a graphic????
like getimagesize for example works without any external helpers..
or maybe to convert image to png so GD could take over?

- i thought of writing a java applet for submitting.. that could resize the image and then send the converted image to a php file via post... i got it running sending text but lost to much time in figuring out how to to send an image...

my question: is there something out there that would do the job????

[ToraTora!]

check out php.net and see if there is some functions to do that..

there is a copy function.. I do believe.

You can have it copy and reduce the size of the image by a percentage maybe or something.

Tell your provider to install imagemagik!

[derfelix]

oh.. you probably mean ImageCopyResized()
but that only works if php has been compiled with GD

I must have had 10 hacks done, but this one eludes me, even after reading all the posts twice and rechecking every code. My error is:

'/home/dotcoms/verztec/home/dotorgs/dyne/public_html/forums/global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/dotorgs/dyne/public_html/forums/upload.php on line 15

I have changed the path and I still can't get it .

I would just like to know how things go with this.. cause I tried to do the best I could at making a helpfull guide to installing this.

[ToraTora!]

no offense, but with a name like the one you chose, probably wont garner any support here.

It has to do with this code

PHP Code:

<td bgcolor="$cpnav[12]"><smallfont><b><a href="upload.php">Upload Photo</a></b></smallfont></td> 


in your usercpnav template. I simply changed the [12] to [7] and it looks fine. I have no lcue what those numbers mean BTW

Anyone have a photo.gif to share? Couldn't find the ones that were posted.
