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.

<!-- /* Textual Tooltip Script-

[TJFweb]

Wow this is awesome! We just need text color options now. Gradient text anyone? :-)

What do you mean users can choose only one userbar? You can make up to 15 per user and simply put the various [img] tags around however many userbars you want to display in your sig area.

[DevinM]

Maybe I am just missing it but is it possible to use the color gradients and then load an image as well?

Im trying to create a userbar that fades black to red. The text obviously starts at the right side but on the left id like an image. Its common in most user bars ive seen so I didnt know if I was just missing something.

I guess what I am saying is is it either gradients or a background image......but you cant have both?

Also I dont know what updates are planned but this hack has a ton of potential. check out http://www.download3000.com/download_15824.html the glowing borders feature would be awesome to have.

[DevinM]

Anyone?

[BobbyBig]

There is also English Text in the Templates, if there is an Update the Phrases are Useless if using another Language.

How come you didnt used your logical instinct on that ?

If using Phrases, do all Text into Phrases.

The Style behavior (Buttons under the Input Fields) is also made damn bad.
Its like you wrote the code and hired a noob to add it to templates.

Something like this must be great, and not just half of great.

[DevinM]

Personally I love the hack, its just a little buggy. I sure hope there is an update my users love it.

[DementedMindz]

there was suppose to be a update cause they were asking for new features in dec. but nothing since then was ever said.

[DevinM]

Anyone wanna try and develop this furthur? Shame to let it go to waste.
