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.

bump.

[Necrosaro420]

Im having an issue. I have installed everything and double checked and everything seems fine.

Everything works great until after you click Save...Then it tries to let you preview the file, but all I get is a red X, and the properties shows it is in the userbar/show folder. Well I dont have that folder, so I made it, and gave it 777 permission. Tried again, with the same result. Any ideas what is going on here?

Everything works great up until that point. Thanks!

[Sadie Frost]

Worked great for me - really cool mod Thanks!

Still waiting for a way to turn off the url rewrite function so this will work on IIS.

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

n00b question sorry..

how do I check if I have GD2 installed on my server??

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

everything seemed to be ok... until I actually clicked "save userbar" then got a 500 internal server error!!

is that not (maybe) having GD2 thing?

any help greatly apprecaited.

[DevinM]

This hack a lot of potential but no one has done anything with it furthur. There are really only a few features/bugs to fix. I hope someone does something with it.

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

1 how do I know if I have GD2 installed?

2. any ideas about a 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERROR when click "save userbar"? (userbar is fully configured).

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

working now.. finally. whew

only the random user info doesn't work.

[akulion]

thanks really cool!

just a small suggestion - can u not have the readme file in a PDF format since copying the codes becomes impossible
