------end update.

Well everyone, I decided tonight to release this and just see what happens from there on. I got caught up in working on my multi-page profile for my site, and kind of forgot about this. Sorry I do that a lot, in which I am sure everyone does.

First off... please read all of the files that I have included in this, the Installation.txt file is something I slapped together at the last minute and probably needs proof read... but who cares. The Readme.txt file explains what all the files are, and has some other tidbit information.

The only things you will really need to upload is: upload.php, userhelp.html, vbuploadinstall.php and the images and image folder.

I tried to explain the best way to have it... is putting those three files in the root of your vb folder, then just upload the images folder, which will create a sub folder inside that for the two image icons. Then you will have to create another folder like I suggested named "uploaded" meaning uploaded pictures. Then you will have to chmodd that to 777 and go from there. Then you will have to go through the upload.php file and change the variable preferences to fit your site. I tried to do the best possible explanation of how to do it through my comments throughout the files. So pay attention to those, also feel free to customize the userhelp file to fit your site and everything.

One thing I kind of fell short on.. was a cool profile page.. I mean I included a getinfo template that I used when I first made this, which was on vb2.0.1 and now that added like ignore and stuff so.. you might just want to create your own template up in your favorite web page builder or in notepad.. whatever. And go from there with the variables that I include.

Just pretty much go through the installation files and everything and follow the steps and you should not have any problems.. not saying you won't but... hopefully the F.A.Q. file will help with that.

Some might hate it, some might like it... if you hate it.. don't download it.. or install it.

To uninstall, follow the steps you took to install it and reverse them

ALWAYS BACKUP Before doing hacks... installations, changes, etc!

**Warning** Install at your own risk!

and... there is no place like home! Just remember that!

P.S. search these forums.. for screen shots and there is no demo as of right now... well there was but I Took it down

OK I installed this on my board and it wont upload the picture from the upload.php to the server. I created the directory in the right place, I went through the files and made sure they had the same path as my server. I put a photo in the directory manually and it worked, but for some reason I can't get the upload.php to upload the file.

I also get this error when I click the link in the admin control panel:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare stripslashesarray() in /home/theforum/public_html/forumz/admin/global.php on line 14

Can somebody please help me out.

Thanks in advance!

The code for the User CP.. might have been left out of the member.php or usercp.php file. But just adding it, should fix that problem.

Btw the numbers relate to what the $cpnav background color is.. it alternates, well not really. The page selected will have a different color than the others.

Gutspiller, did you check to make sure that the upload folder (for the images) is chmodded to 777. Cause that is the only thing that I can think of.. for that problem.

and the second problem.. I think if you search through this thread, it might have something for that.. I think somewhere I saw that one

Also as soon as brad sends me the new updated version I will pass it on to you guys. It will probably be the last release. But will fix a lot of problems and give a lot more flexibility.

Hi,
i am using this hack and it worked fine, untill I moved to another server - could someone give me the correct chmod and ownership for the uploaded photos? i had to upload them manually, so permissions were lost...
thank you!

755 on some servers, 777 on others. I have varied the two on four different servers..lol...
Remember, that the permissions are only to be produced on your uploaded images folder.

thank you, found the error - server was in Safe mode :O
changed, now running again

This hacks works great!
Had to move a couple of things around
(like declaring variables in upload.php BEFORE using them
in welcome).
I am also adding more templates so you can customize your
welcome message. (I have a bilingual forum..)
Thanks again for everyone's input

Image upload successful.
Warning: Unable to open 'C:PHPuploadtempphp93E.tmp' for reading: No such file or directory in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\forums\upload.php on line 191

Anyone have any idea what that would be caused by??? Permissions are set correctly and all directories are correct but it still wont let me upload a file.. And Yes i have gone through this whole thread and looked for the answers....still no luck....

[EJMack]

anyone?????

[ToraTora!]

why is it trying to open a temp file... the getimagesize, in the script will only work on an image.. not a temp file.. unless well dunno.

Plus there is no paths.. it is trying to open a blob.. instead of..

c:\phpupload\temp\php93e.tmp\ or whatever..

which that whole format.. should not be like that nor should it be in that folder. Don't try uploading a temp file.
