Major Additions - VB image Hosting

VB Image Hosting Version 1.0.1

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).

i can't keep up with all the people who want support though.

the installation is pretty easy. I did everything right, too and it still was screwed up. Maybe try and see if you can get it?

Been using this for ages with no issues.

Question: What do I do when I have moved the site using impex and it has not moved the vbimage database tables? How do I move them across so the associated pictures are in the posts?

[flindersredclaw]

Ahhh figured it out.
Simply access the old database through phpmyadmin,
select the vbimage table,
then click download and then go
and it will dump a text file of the table to screen.
Copy that table from CREATE TABLE `vbimghost` ( to the bottom.
Select the new database, for the new site
you will have to delete the vbimghost table from there if you have already installed the product.
click mysql image at the top
a text box will open in a popup
paste in all the table that you copied from the previous database
click go and clench your butt cheaks

Wellahhh it should be in the new database. I suggest you install or reinstall the product (checking overwrite) and then head into the admin and edit settings there. I rebuilt the thumbnails to be sure. It did not rebuild them all but it did work...

Did I mention to back up both databases?

I had original problems with it but found that when setting this:

The complete path to your forums directory (no trailing slash)
Unix ex. /home/user/public_html/forums
windwos ex. c:/apache/httdocs/forums

I managed to leave the /user/ part instead of changing that to my account name - and watch for those last slashes ////


Just installed on 3.6.8 (clean forum) no issues so far.

It's meh.

Whenever I try to delete an image from the Admin CP I get this....

Warning: unlink(/home/users/public_html/forums/imagehosting/146ad8373b38d9.jpg) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /admincp/vbimghost.php on line 316

And of course unable to delete.

Not sure why it's doing this but this has so many problems and I wish it didn't because it's a good feature.

That's because you didn't set the correct path to your forums ..
/home/users/public_html/forums/ is the default setting which is not yours for sure ..!

[SupraT]

I am getting this error, after a first time install

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpeg() in /home/clanspy/public_html/forum/includes/vbimghost_include.php on line 175


Also note that the image are actually in the folder on the server, but do not appear in the user account as an uploaded image.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm wondering if I can limit the pictures to be only available for the forum I have it installed on. I really have no desire to be a free image hosting site for other sites my users frequent.

Here is an example of what I don't want to happen, a picture hosted on my site, but shows here:



If this has been answered before, I apologize.

Thanks!!

I have the same issue, JesterP. FWIW, I posted a similar yet broader question over at vBulletin.com here. If you've gotten an answer, please post it here? Thanks.
