vbuserbar by StonyArc
I'm proud to announce that the new version 1.1.0 for vbulletin 3.6.x is currently available to you all !!!



You can now nominate hacks yourself for hacks of the month. There is a link on the right of hacks on top of the files.

Function
A userbar is a small image (350*19) typically used in the signatures of forum users, to show their support for software, hardware, food, pretty much anything. The new application allows you to dynamically create userbars including several plugins to display text.

Don't forget to hit install !!!!!!!
Please read the guide before asking for support !!!!!!!

Special

- Read the attached PDF for more information. The pdf is also included in the zip file.
- Some directories must be chmod to 777 (list included in pdf)
- vbuserbar requires PHP and the GD2 image library.
- The mod_rewrite module must be loaded as well. This is most of time on by default. If you run your own Server you can load it yourself in the php.ini. If not, please contact your hosting provider to activate it.

Detailed installation instructions are in the included pdf file.




Current Features

Userbars for Vbulletin is created by StonyArc. The application is inspired and partially driven by the Dynabars scripts by Kenneth Watson.

Userbars for Vbulletin takes full advantage of direct integration with Vbulletin and allows users to directly create usersbars (both single and rotating as animated gif).

By using plugins other integrations are possible. The plugin creation guide is available on request.

This has taken quite some work and still will take a lot more. Please give credit where credit is due. You cannot remove any notice without prior written permission.

You need to

1. click update to confirm your options each time => this caches the data
2. click save when done preparing the images


The application will redirect you to the overview page. On there you get a list of the static images which contains the correct URL's of the application. If you want to restart and clear the images you can use the delete function on the overview pages or manually delete the files in the /bar and /cache and also empty both tables.

Those can then be combined in to a dynamic one.

Make sure you have all folders. The zip currently online also contains the empty folders.

Please don't forget to click install if you have installed this application.

At this point it doesn't work with IM.

that's maybe something I can build in V2: GD or IM. Good idea there.

Are you running any special language?

If not

In principle you can remove the CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci string from each of the 6 points where it occurs in the install code of the product.

I uploaded some screenshots of the app in the first reply too.

When I save the bars they only save as a filename with a number, not the proper filename. Also I am assuming there should be some sort of preview in the attached image. I don't see anything.

Are you sure you have modrewrite and GD2 enabled on your server and installed the latest version?

[Trana]

I have GD2 but I am using ISAPI URL Rewrite as this is a Windows 2003 server.

stonyarc....i have had a blond moment....

i uploaded the files but it over wrote my index.php...

so may i assume that i need to uplod the upload folder to my forum root? not the files to the forum root?

[darkblade25]

It would be nice to limit userbars per user, so users can not spam your server with images.

Anyone know how to do this?
