comics hack v1.0

little hack for vbulletin / vbindex

you can use this for daily comics, babe of the week, ...

Features
- Admin control panel
- Comics page
- vbindex thingy

I included an example script wich downloads some daily cartoons ... (Dont use it! its just an example)
this script only works on unix with wget installed and access to shell

It works this way:
- you post the url of an image on a thread (for example: weekly babe)
- use that threadID and the url of the image to add the comic in the adminCP
- Now users will be able to post comments to your image

example
vbindex example

update
- I changed the comicsbit a little
- fixed the vbindex error
FIX FOR THE 404 ERROR

If anyone installed it and uses it for other things then daily comics, please send me some screenshots

There is nothing illegal about the hack itself.

How do I find the URL of the comic? And what do I put for thread ID?

Also, I get a 404 when I click "manage comics". Is this just because I don't have any uploaded, or is something wrong?

And I don't understand what to do with getcomics.txt. =\

It's an awesome hack, though.

???? what comic?

And what do I put for thread ID?

first you post a comic in a thread, and then u have threadid, use that threadid (just so they can give coments to the comics or whatever you use it for)

Did you upload the admin file?

And I don't understand what to do with getcomics.txt. =\

you need Secure shell for that
what I suggest is to just download the comics u like and upload them

So I'd make a comics section and then a thread for each comic? Would the comments be reset everytime the comic is updated?

Yeah. I can access the "Add Comics" part fine, just not the "Modify Comics" one.

No

To which? To the comics I'm using, to the thread-for-each-comic, or to the comments-reset? Or to all?

I was afraid you'd say something along those lines.

I have ssh access I think. I don't really know what the hell I'm doing, though. If you IM me on Koggit45 I'll let you know what information I have.

[zertox]

no to thread-for-each-comic resetted
the thread will stay the same, i use it so people can comment the commic, u can do it another way if u like

[koggit]

When I go to Add Comic, I still don't understand what I'm supposed to put for the URL of the comic and the thread ID.

Can you explain those two a bit more, please?
