In vBulletin 3 there is an option for members to upload a profile picture. This hack provides more incentive for members to upload their picture, as it integrates a gallery to browse them all. :up:
In addition to browsing profile pictures, there is an option for viewing signatures. This comes in handy, for you don't have to browse through each individual member. Also, a "edit signature" link is provided for moderators, for fast access to editing signatures that aren't in accordance with your rules.
Other Features
Require pictures to be approved in order to be visible. You can exempt specified usergroups from this.
Thumbnails are generated for profile pictures. You must have GD installed and enabled via the AdminCP options page.
For more insight, refer to the attached screenshots, or install it!
Upgrade to 2.0
Redo steps 7-8, 11-12, 19-20, 26, 27, and 34
Revert the template "modifyprofilepic", and do steps 29-32
Run the following queries:
[sql]
ALTER TABLE `customprofilepic` ADD disapproved smallint(5) not null default'0';
ALTER TABLE `customprofilepic` ADD reason varchar(100) not null;
[/sql]
Notes
This hack does not support uploading multiple images per account.
Profile thumbnail sizes are defined by the attachment thumbnail sizes. So modify the attachment thumbnail sizes in your AdminCP options page if you wish to change the profile picture thumbnail sizes. Be sure to run "re-generate thumbnails" via the vB3 Member Album -> Approve Images" page.
Profile picture sizes (not thumbnails) are defined for each usergroup. Modify a usergroup via AdminCP to change the dimensions members under that group are allowed to have for profile pictures.
3rd Party Add-ons
Pseudomizer has posted a migration script that will transfer your files from my old vB2 Member Photo to the correct tables in this vB3 hack. Click here to view.
Pseudomizer also posted a portal-integration allowing you to display a random profile picture on your portal. Click here to view.
There's a pretty serious problem with your memberlist pages if you have installed this hack.
The hack changed the PRIMARY KEY on the customprofilepic table, and this causes a massive degradation in the speed of the query that memberlist.php uses.
Note that the fix merely adds an index to restore it more closely to the vBulletin defaults by adding an index back to the table in place of the removed PRIMARY KEY.
I'm pretty furious about it though. IMO no hack should ever touch the vBulletin indexes and schema... they should only extend it. This hack broke that, and in turn created a hundred fold drop in performance of the regular vBulletin memberlist.php
This isn't the first time hacks have done dumb things, but this one was painful because of the 6+ seconds lock on the database table and the resulting performance drop elsewhere on the board.
Add the index back if you run this hack.
Euhmmmmmm, is this fixed now? I like the idea of a member album, but I don't like a hack that needs patches and mess up my db.
Does it? Have you tested to change your profile picture or rebuild the thumbs?
When I do I get the word Array in the thumbnaildata field instead of the picture.
The function fetch_thumbnail_from_image in /includes/functions_image.php has changed alot so I would like to know for sure if this works or not.
Another question.
How much did you have to pay Jelsoft to remove the copyright notice and have it looked like you made it yourself?

That's what I thought. I'm holding off installig this one for now until more people install it. We now use thumbs and attachments in the file system and I guessed with the coding changes since this hack was released.... it would cause problems.

Yes, you are right !
When uploading a new profile picture it isn't shown in the album.php
also the recreate thumbnails in adminCP for member album didn't work.
So sorry for my replay without checking all functions !

I didn't pay Jelsoft for a branding free version, I payed to the german reseller aducco digital which are under vbulletin-germany.com?
The price was about 110,-? for a unbranded version of vb3
That's not so expensive
I know it's of topic but is there any information somewhere about unbranded versions from Jelsoft?
I heard roumers like $700 or more...
You can find all needed information about unbranded version in the members area of vbulletin.com
So please visit this site or ask Jelsoft for more details

It costs $120 (USD) for the branding fee option now for vB3.
Thanks for the info. Got it worked out.
Back to topic then. I like this hack and tried to fix it myself but don't have any experience in image manipulation so I didn't get it to work properly. It's possible to implement the old function in the files and rename them but it's not so convenient I guess.
Is there a chance that the originator will upgrade his board or has anyone else had any succeed with this hack?
Did anyone ever come up with a way to send the admin an email or pm when a new pic is uploaded? I had 2 users upload pics last week and they could see them so they didn't think they had to be approved. I found them accidentally by checking the options. Can this be done?
I get the word 'Array' on a fresh install of this hack and vB 3.03 [when rebuilding thumbnails] and the classic red X in the album.php itself for every photo. Tried everything I can think of to fix it, any input would be appreciated.
