Major Additions - VB image Hosting

This is the port for my hack to vb 3.6.x
check it for vb 3.5.x here

A New installer replaced the old one so you should not face any problems with database

NOTE :
People who were using vbimghost in vb 3.5.x and moved to vb 3.6.0 MAKE sure that you have vbimghost 1.4.1 Since this port will only support upgrading from that ver only
People who do a fresh install use this ver.

Requirements:

1. requires GD 2.0.1 or later (2.0.28 or later is recommended).
2. PHP ver 4.3.x or later (newer ver is better).

NOTE:
before you post any error here :
Set that path to your forums correctly in the vbimghost options.
if you getting the error ""supplied argument is not a valid"
that's because you didn't set the path correctly

And for all the people asking when is the next release it will be in 2007 not this month .. due to some problems in real life ..

I have noticed that when a member uploads a picture, I can view it.

When I click on it, and view it full size, I get the permissions to "Set Private". However when I click on it, it gives me the permissions error.

Now I have set up the usergroup to have admin rights. I've toggled this etc. However, I have some member's images that I can not toggle to private (since I deem them pretty offensive to other members).

Is anyone having problems (as admin's) toggling a member's picture to private or public??

ACP --> Languages & Phrases --> Search in Phrases

Top box search for:
vbimghost_title
Search in radio button:
Phrase Variable Name Only


When the results come up Click on the edit button.
In the translation box, enter anything you would like.
Save.. Its now changed.

I just installed the hack....and did all steps as per your instruction.
when i try to upload the an image it shows me the error
"
administrator, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

"

what i have to do......

Would I be able to use this to host different types of galleries, with different permissions?

I need something, where I can have an open gallery, for everyone to view.
If they want to upload, they need to register, and then get a limit of 20 images. This limit can be increased with participation on the forum (voting for other images, forum posts, ratings from other members, etc). Then the "ranks" can be increased to give them more photos, say 50.

Then, upon registration, the user needs to verify his age, and if he's older than 18, he can also browse adult galleries, and post to them. Can this be done?

This is not for porn but for a puyblic gallery, where photographers & models will interact with each other.

I have installed this mod along with the VB Control Panel.

The QUICK UPLOAD ONE option will bring up a popup window but when you browse to a picture to upload it hangs.

I have updated to VB 3.6.7 PL 1 -- Is that an issue?

Also; How can I change the Text color in the small popup window for upload ONE as it is dark and hard to read.

Thanks!

But what I try to open or quick upload, the picture shows in the top of the page, or the header and doesn't get put into the post.

Any idea how to fix this one?

I get this same error.

[ComputerVitals]

I still have that error.
Only way around it (other then fixing it) is to make sure the cursor is blinking in the text area before you click on the quick upload or open links.

I havent tried it yet, but i want to ask, if its possible to upload images via FTP and import them into vB Image host. Because i had a gallery running with nearly a thousand images, which suddenly doesnt work any more... And i dont want to upload them one by one..
