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.
Would this hack cause me to have this problem "File system directory is not writable. " when trying to upload attachments during normal posting operations? My attachments go into the file server, not the database.
Well, I fixed that by chmodding everything in the attachments folder 777.
However if you check out http://forums.asiansinc.com/album.php sometimes the picture showing up in the album doesn't match with what shows up in the profile. Also, sometimes it replaced either the profile pic or the avatar -- I'm not sure which.
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.
