[RELEASE vb2.0+] vB Photo Upload

Update : Sept 6
-- Thanks to wajones who pointed out a couple of things, I updated the files.
-- 1. The icons in the top right corner, one of them was suppose to point to the user help file but it was renamed and I forgot to update the code.
-- 2. There was a header error in the admin panel, which was corrected by wajones... if future problems happens please tell me.

------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

[ToraTora!]

the paths are located somewhere near line 124 unless you altered the code or added/delete anything.

do a search on the upload.php file for "gif"

it should be around this..
<img border=0 src=images/upload_files/profile.gif

edit it to your pleasure.. depending on what you changed.

Second question scsa20..

what you are looking for is this.. on line 192.

URL=$shortpath/upload.php\"

that is just part of that echo statement.

What you will want to change it to is:
URL='forums.simon-soft.com/upload.php'

and see if that works.

Btw.. for those who care.. Brad said that if vB 3 does not come bundled with a photo upload .. like this one .. that he will over haul this version and make it template driven, and fix any and all problems present and future

[scsa20]

cool, I got it fixed, I just deleted that $shortpath after that URL= from 3 different places and got it to work that way...thanks for your help

[snyx]

hi,

i just installed without problems. Now i am testing all functions, but this time with problems.

i have my folder in images/userphoto and chmod to 777!!!
But every time i upload a photo, the photo itself has only 400 rights (-rw------)!

Why is that? What do i have to change! because of that the photo is in that folder but can not be seen!

Thanks!

Couple other problems: In upload.php the following parameters do not show up in: $welcome =

$max_height = "200"; /* Max Image Height */
$max_width = "200"; /* Max Image Width */
$Size_Restrictions = "10000"; /* image size limit in bytes */
$Width_Restrictions = "200"; /* your width limit */
$Height_Restrictions = "200"; /* your height limit

Don't know if someone already figured that out but if you want to use this variables above do this:

Cut this:

PHP Code:

/*-----------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* File Type Restrictions Variables                                */
/*-----------------------------------------------------------------*/
$max_height = "600";         /* Max Image Height                   */
$max_width = "600";          /* Max Image Width                    */
$Size_Restrictions = "2000000";       /* image size limit in bytes */
$Width_Restrictions = "600";          /* your width limit          */
$Height_Restrictions = "600";         /* your height limit         */
/*-----------------------------------------------------------------*/ 


and add it before

PHP Code:

$Site_Name.........
