[RELEASE] Image Gallery Hack v0.9

How do all..

I am going to release my image gallery hack (in action http://www.overgrow.com/edge/index.php) without the admin piece.. I am still trying to finish it up without having to re-write all the vB delete routines.. Plus some of you may want to write your own way of administering the images that get uploaded and keeping things clean..

When my admin piece is finished I will post it here as well..

Features: Not too many.. very basic..

-- Only allows gif or jpg files to be uploaded.. I'm sure you can easily modify this for other file types.. PHP really makes things easy..

-- To start a thread in the gallery you must upload an image.. (doesn't apply when replying)

-- You can set a file size limit for upload..

-- Stores information in a new vB table for use later.. (ie; admin stuff. Currently the admin piece is in progress..)

You can download the instructions here - http://www.overgrow.com/tmp/imggalhack.zip

It is a fairly simple hack with a few mods to global.php, newthread.php and newreply.php and a few new templates.. It is not automated, the download is just a text file with the modification intructions..

Please let me know if I made the instructions to confusing and what ya think..

Have Fun..
Herb

Herb I double checked and I I'm not missing ; or anything the code is exactly like you posted, I will wait for you guys to solve this security issue, thanks for the heads up Stallion!

And thanks for the fast replies and for all your work Herb!

Oh and please let us know once this security issue is solved!

Stallion - Please email me at hgreen@lmi-net.net as I do not do ICQ..

Thanks..

How do all..

Well thanks to stallion the security hole has been fixed..

I appologize to anyone who may have tried this hack..

I uploaded a new set of instructions at http://www.overgrow.com/tmp/imggalhack.zip

conan - I would work backwards and reset your forums to where they were before you added the hack and start over with the new instructions.. Sorry about the problems..

Thanks a lot Herb, but I installed on a test board
been there before! hehe
I'm looking forward to test this now!
Again thanks for the great work!

I just wanted to say thank you for this hack! I've been searching for this hack on the web for some time!

Then I came back home to see it on the hack list!

Thank you, again! It works great!

this is the attachments hack... bump to the top for Marty & vB oard

Has the security hole been fixed?

What is this attachments hack you are taking about?

Yes, Stallion worked with Herb and the hole was patched.

This hack allows the users to upload attachments to your board. It is meant for images- gif's and jpg's- but I suppose you could use it for anything. It automatically puts the image in the message, but could be changed if you're not using images.

Has any enhancements been done to the zip file since [i]Herbs last post on 10-01-2000![i]

I installed about 2 days after that!

I just love the hack!
