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.

WHAT ? I dont understand that Instruction... what to do exactly?

thank you

It just means you'll have to a URL in the navbar to point towards the application you just installed.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vbuserbar.php">
Userbars</a></td>

Just put that somewhere near the similar looking items like FAQ or Calendar

For plugin:

Just select the plugin fill in the options and click set/save

Prefix

Just fill in and click the button next to it

Any word on a version without the rewrite functionality?

[letsjoy]

very nice thanks

[hawks_mp]

So it's impossible to get this with the GD Image Library? It ONLY works with GD2?

[puertoblack2003]

well so far i'm there i think got everything to work but when i create a tag it saved to it proper folder but i do get the url but no image is showing. in the forum I see that the imaged saved with no extension on it.

by the way i'm hosting my own server windows powered by abyss if that helps.No rewrite rule but was given a trick to get it to work for other adventure i had so i used it for this hack.

[dooch]

This is a great mod but unfortunately some of the plugins arent working for me.

I would really like the bf2 plugin to work.

As soon as I enter a player ID the image is lost.

Any ideas?

Fantastic hack though!
