vbuserbar by StonyArc
I'm proud to announce that the new version 1.1.0 for vbulletin 3.6.x is currently available to you all !!!



You can now nominate hacks yourself for hacks of the month. There is a link on the right of hacks on top of the files.

Function
A userbar is a small image (350*19) typically used in the signatures of forum users, to show their support for software, hardware, food, pretty much anything. The new application allows you to dynamically create userbars including several plugins to display text.

Don't forget to hit install !!!!!!!
Please read the guide before asking for support !!!!!!!

Special

- Read the attached PDF for more information. The pdf is also included in the zip file.
- Some directories must be chmod to 777 (list included in pdf)
- vbuserbar requires PHP and the GD2 image library.
- The mod_rewrite module must be loaded as well. This is most of time on by default. If you run your own Server you can load it yourself in the php.ini. If not, please contact your hosting provider to activate it.

Detailed installation instructions are in the included pdf file.




Current Features

Userbars for Vbulletin is created by StonyArc. The application is inspired and partially driven by the Dynabars scripts by Kenneth Watson.

Userbars for Vbulletin takes full advantage of direct integration with Vbulletin and allows users to directly create usersbars (both single and rotating as animated gif).

By using plugins other integrations are possible. The plugin creation guide is available on request.

This has taken quite some work and still will take a lot more. Please give credit where credit is due. You cannot remove any notice without prior written permission.

That's a good idea.

I do have a tendency not to think about banned users as I love all my users

[DementedMindz]

only other thing I can think of is to maybe have a small list of user bars that are already in a ftp folder they can chose from in a drop down to maybe use as a background. and possibly have it where say user 1 uploads a blank background it stores it in a folder so this way user 20 could possibly use that background also in the future. here is a few blank ones if you wish to do that. http://www.userbars.us/categories.php?cat_id=2 a few other things maybe for a user to be able to chose different color scan lines, different color text and have a few different overlays in which there could be a drop down and show which one there using kinda like on here http://userbarmaker.com/. last thing I could think of is some kinda hot link protection also.

I've done everything mentioned in all these posts and I've varified with my hoster that all requirements are on and active...but I still have the same issue mentioned above...I can see the bar just great when I'm making it, but then when I hit save and I'm redirected to the overview screen I get not bar...I see it all like shown above, but no bar...I just get the white box with an X in it...I have the bar name in the bar but no .png file. I even attempted the htaccess edit that you mentioned, but no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Just an update...12/20 For no reason (nothing changed) all is working fine now...its looking to the proper directory and finding the .png/.gif... so all is working now...thx
