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.

Now that is nasty.

The new file includes the empty folders.

So if you haven't created them manually just download agian please.

The bars aren't being saved with their proper names, just numbers.

Also (and I'm guessing because of that) the preview does not show the bars.

this system connects to your site then? :S

[projectego]

Wow, I'll certainly check this out. Cheers!

No it's hosted on your site itself with a self maintaining cache.

If you experience issues with FireFox 2 and the colour selection (displayed at bottom of the page in stead of next to the anchor):

This minor issue is now solved. Just download the zip and install the product again with overwrite to yes.

Cheers

[Trana]

Any idea why files are being saved with numeric names and not descriptions?

[goyo]

Is it works with imagemagick ?
(I'm using IM because it produces nicer pictures compared to GD2)
