This hack, as well all my other vB2 hacks, I no longer provide support for (being I run vB3 and it's too much hassel to debug vB2). When vB3 Release Candidate comes out, by request I might convert some of my hacks.
Updates:
Latest update was version 1.3b on 08.01.03.
Description:
It's been ages since my last hack, due to my lack of time for coding lately. This feature here though is one I developed for my forum about a week ago, and just recently completed making the instructions for it so I could release it on vBulletin.org.
Just as the name implies, this hack will allow your members to upload a photo of themselves (or whatever you allow), then that photo will be stored in a directory of your website. In addition to just the photo, using the GD2.0 Library, thumbnails are generated corresponding to each members photo and placed inside the directory. A new link via the memberlist nav page will then be able for access to view these images all organized neatly in a photo gallery.
In addition to just this, there is a verification system integrated with the ACP for easy checking of images the members upload, before they are placed in the photo gallery.
The main reason I developed this hack is because all the other photo gallery hacks are pretty.. well, ineffective.
Features:
Utilizes GD2.0 to automatically generate thumbnails for your uploaded images
Organized photo gallery with a very easy-to-browse interface
Verification system allows efficient methods of regulating what is shown in the photo gallery
A wide variety of customizable options via the Admin CP
Requirements/Restrictions:
GD2.0 Library is absolutely needed, which comes pre-installed with the latest PHP version, 4.3.0.
This script does not support multiple-image uploads, and I will not be releasing a version of this hack does!
Because the GD library does not support the GIF image format, the photo gallery does not either. The only images that can be uploaded are PNG and JPG. (I hardly think this will be an issue for the most of us)
Installation:
Upload install_photo.php to your admin directory, and run it through your browser. All instructions for this hack are listed in there.
After the hack is installed, go to your "admin cp -> options" page and set the member photo gallery options to your own preference.
Screenshots:
Refer to the next several posts.

If you use this hack, please remember to click install!

Since it is just an array, if that already exists all you have to do is go up the numbers until you reach one that does not exist in the array, and place below it:
$cpnav[x]="{_secondaltcolor}";
Where 'x' signify's the number that is next in line. Then in the usercpnav-template, make sure you change the value said in the instructions to this value.
You don't want to avoid this step unless you don't care about cosmetics.
i am aslo not fully understanding this instruction:
Make sure those $cpnav[] elements correspond with how your cpnav is configured, like what you did in the previous steps.
;/ 1 more problem i noticed, it is not creating a thumbnail in the folder...it does do the images though...so when lookin @ the memberlist.php page, there is just a X image in the list...clicking the image goes to the uploaded image.
The error is because either your host doesn't have GD installed on the server or the version they do have installed (if they do) is earlier than GD2.0.

I know there are others with this problem so it's good to catch this right away. I'll test it later this day.
