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

If you use this hack, please remember to click install!

GRRR!!!!!! Everything works as far as I can tell except for the fact that my Admin section hasn't changed to allow me to approve the photos. I have the options listed to turn it off or on, but no where is there an approval section. I've gone through the Admin index.php hack several times. When I upload photos it says awaiting approval but I have no where to approve them from.

HELP!! I'm about to give up.
The option should be in the left frame of your Admin CP, toward the lower portion of options. Make sure you have uploaded the verify PHP file to your admin directory, and made the file changes to admin/index.php, and that you have the approval system on. Even if the link isn't displayed (which means you didn't edit the index.php), that doesn't mean you can't simply run the location of the file in your browser address bar and it should execute.

I wish there was a way to hack this more into a picture engine for user profiles..
I'm currently developing such a system for my site, but more than likely I'll be releasing it on vB.org.

You're not permitted to attach full vBulletin files, so please remove the admin/index.php you have uploaded.
Make sure the file changes needed to be done in admin/index.php are being done correctly. If so, then make sure you have done all the database changes accessible through the instruction HTML file.
