VB-O-GRAM ....... Site Promotional Tool

And you thought that greeting cards had died ....... think again! ... lmao

This hack will add a not-so-unique feature to you community in the form of a great promotional tool

It can display both normal images and flash files (.swf)

1 file edit
1 template edit
2 new db table

This hack uses and includes a copy of the [HIS] Hack Installer System (Build 3)
released by Link14716 and can be found here --> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71542

The admin area here is basicly a copy of the vB Jukebox.
You can upload all your images and flash files from your browser

I have not included any permissions so both your members and guests can send -O-GRAMS to promote your site

in the pic you will see that i called mine Trafix-O-GRAM .... however in the admin options you can call it whatever you like

ahhh what the hell here is the demo .... go look for yourself ..... but you cant register as it is a dev forum but i think it should be fine your your testing. i only have the one flash file and i have used some crappy images to test with. http://srv01.orpbus.com/~admin152/up...ain&imageid=12

I will reserve the first few posts to add links at a later stage to member flash file contributions

OOOPS .... nearly forgot .... Please click INSTALL

UPDATE ... fixed install quirie

Thanks for all your head swelling comments ....

A wasnt sure if this sort of hack would be used and e-greetings are sort of old hat now .... i think we could bring them back into fashon

ENJOY!

Silly question, but is this kinda like a refer site to friend hack?

[trafix]

i havnt seen that hack ...... but thay are both site promotional tools ... and we can all do with more of that.

this hack is based on e-greetings cards

Before I go and hose anything up, I just wanted to clarify something here - I run the installer, THEN create the vboimages folder and the adminscp/index.php edits and the template edits?

Maybe I need to have some more coffee before I try this?

actually, when a member sends it does it include their referal link so they get the credit if a new member joins?

Here are a few suggestions:
1) Word censor/spam controls for outgoing e-mail, even if there are no censors on the forum
2) Limit threshold (only 1 VB-O-GRAM every so many seconds/minutes per user), could even have different settings for different usergroups.
3) Option to save a copy of all outgoing VB-O-GRAMS to a specified file/location for later review (could be a security issue, and could be abused, but could also be used in case of someone sending death threats via your VB-O-GRAM, for example). Or if not saving a copy - save a list of the to & from e-mail and title & time/date stamp.
4) Option to ban certain addresses or domains from receiving VB-O-GRAMS (such as whitehouse.gov, etc., for the same reasons noted above)

Trafix,

Stayed up all night looking for swf files to include in this potentially wonderful communication method.

My girlfriend hates you.

Anyway, tried to install it this morning, and got this during install:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.6:

Invalid SQL: CREATE TABLE `vbogram_img` (
`vbogram_imgid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`title` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',

But, with perseverance and fortitude, I continued. The link in the nav bar causes this, not surprisingly:

OH, and YOYO

Option to save a copy of all outgoing VB-O-GRAMS to a specified file/location for later review (could be a security issue, and could be abused, but could also be used in case of someone sending death threats via your VB-O-GRAM, for example).

I always got my death threats in person. Not by VB-O-GRAMS.

lol...

( I'll dig around in your install file and try to install this manually...)
