vB Member Photo

vB Member Photo
by Velocd

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:

1. Upload install_photo.php to your admin directory, and run it through your browser. All instructions for this hack are listed in there.
2. After the hack is installed, go to your "admin cp -> options" page and set the member photo gallery options to your own preference.

Screenshots:

We have the latest version of php installed and GD is in it and now I get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpeg() in D:\WebPublic\allhiphop\community\gdresize.php on line 5

Never mind...

Helps if I have the permissions set correctly on the "memberpics" folder!



Great Hack!!!

Add Photo To Profile..

I dident add the approval system because i know i will never use it, but its easy to encode if someone needs it..

This is the first time ive modded a hack before, so dont scream at me if im doin it wrong

member.php

Just Before

PHP Code:

  
  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("getinfo")."\");");
  
}
    
// ############################### start aim message ############################### 


Add

PHP Code:

$checkphoto = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT comments,visible FROM memberphoto WHERE userid='$userinfo[userid]'");
 
 if($checkphoto){
            $profilephoto = "<img src=\"memberpics/photo$userinfo[userid]_$userinfo[photonum].$userinfo[phototype]\">";
  
        } else {
            $profilephoto = "$userinfo[username] hasen't uploaded a photo yet.";
    }

    if($checkphoto['comments'] != ""){
        $photomessage = $checkphoto['comments'];     
    } 


Then in your getinfo Template put

$profilephoto<br> $photomessage

Where you want the photo to appear..

very awesome just what i needed, ok one more question, not sure if you've seen the viportfolio hack, it's wedged in beta hacks, anyway there you get the ability for every use to have their own mini gallery available from their profile, if there anyway to adapt this to enable it to let you do that?

Hi!
Thank you for this great hack! Everything works fine for me. But... Just one little mistake: after adding new photo page doesnt redirect into member profile. I allways get blank screen.
How can I solve it?

[sabret00the]

not like i've installed yet but i suggest checking your templates

[Entourage]

Well, first I wanne thank you for this great hack, the demo looks very very nice!

I only got 1 error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpeg() in /home/sites/site1/web/forum/gdresize.php on line 5

I have vb 2.3.0, php 4.3.1 and gd 2.0 installed (check attach image)

Can someone help me out?

Greets,
