Miscellaneous Hacks - vbGallery Addon: Photo of the Day

This script will randomly select a photo from vbGallery and create a new thread in a specific forum with the photo and it's description. The script is run as a scheduled task in Vbulletin's Scheduled Tasks Manager.

Before uploading the script, you need to set which categories you want the photos to be selected from, the minimum width of the photo and the minimum amount of views that the photo has received.

Installation is easy, simply upload this script to the forums/includes/cron/ directory and create a new scheduled task. (See screen shot for suggested scheduled task parameters)

Tested on Vbulletin 3.6.4 and vbGallery 2.2
Confirmed to work on Vbulletin 3.6.8 and vbGallery 2.3
Confirmed to work on Vbulletin 3.7.0 and vbGallery 2.4.3
Confirmed to work on Vbulletin 3.8.2 and vbGallery 2.4.3
Confirmed to work on Vbulletin 3.8.3 and vbGallery 2.5

Please click install if you use this script.

This hack has been ported to PhotoPlog by TCooper.

Done

I really dont know what it could be, but try this

Move this (line 61)

$arrChars = array();

to line 64

so you have this

$arrChars = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($userid); $i++)
{
$arrChars[] = $userid[$i];
}

This hack works with VB 3.7 and VBGallery 2.4.3

This script works fine with VB 3.8.2. I created a new thread for this hack here. There is no need to upgrade, as I have not made any changes.
