VB-O-GRAM ....... Site Promotional Tool

And you thought that greeting cards had died ....... think again! ... lmao

This hack will add a not-so-unique feature to you community in the form of a great promotional tool

It can display both normal images and flash files (.swf)

1 file edit
1 template edit
2 new db table

This hack uses and includes a copy of the [HIS] Hack Installer System (Build 3)
released by Link14716 and can be found here --> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71542

The admin area here is basicly a copy of the vB Jukebox.
You can upload all your images and flash files from your browser

I have not included any permissions so both your members and guests can send -O-GRAMS to promote your site

in the pic you will see that i called mine Trafix-O-GRAM .... however in the admin options you can call it whatever you like

ahhh what the hell here is the demo .... go look for yourself ..... but you cant register as it is a dev forum but i think it should be fine your your testing. i only have the one flash file and i have used some crappy images to test with. http://srv01.orpbus.com/~admin152/up...ain&imageid=12

I will reserve the first few posts to add links at a later stage to member flash file contributions

OOOPS .... nearly forgot .... Please click INSTALL

UPDATE ... fixed install quirie

AAARRRGH.

My forum is possessed. Get this error towards end of install:

Warning: halt(./includes/functions_log_error.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Library/WebServer/Documents/vb/includes/db_mysql.php on line 389

Warning: halt(): Failed opening './includes/functions_log_error.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php/lib/php') in /Library/WebServer/Documents/vb/includes/db_mysql.php on line 389

with mysql error of:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.6:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE language ADD `phrasegroup_vbogram` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL
mysql error: Duplicate column name 'phrasegroup_vbogram'

mysql error number: 1060

OK, so the column is already in there. Not sure what's missing after this step, because it stops. Maybe, something to uninstall it all, to try again???

And just for giggles, I've added quite a few hacks with this system, maybe this is not cooperating because I'm using a mac server,OSX? Pretty damn good, but, I've got this for php files:

usr/local/php/bin/php
usr/local/php/lib/php/db.php
usr/local/php/lib/php.ini

Not sure what your install script is calling to. Or, if this even makes a difference.

And do I have swf files.....

[docvader]

I'm kind of getting somewhere with the install. I've got some missing phrases now. Do you have a text of all the phrases, and where they go (global, etc) so that I can manually install them? Got most of the queries to run. I think it's in there....

Forget it, got it to work!!

I think

Now I'll be up all night loading swf files. Thai GF not gonna be happeeee.

Edit: OK, almost. Getting this error when uploading jpegs:

Warning: copy(./vbogram/max.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/vb_o_gram_admin.php on line 120

Wonder if it has to do with something not installing... I have "vbogimages" directory in server root (not forum root), chmod 777, as per instructions.

That part of the instructions is pretty bogus really, the default is set to vbogram in the AdminCP- vBulletin Options - vBOGram settings, so why on earth does it have a different name in the install?

Just serves to confuse people.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention; I can now upload photos.
Cannot input text into message text field
Can input email address.
Can send email

Get this message in email, once I get it:

Could not find phrase 'vbog_sendmail'.

That phrase is in my database though. A bit confused. Thai GF bewildered at the amount of time I can spend in front of the computer...

Getting there. Gonna get this to work....

OH, here it is
http://x.russbo.com/vb/vb_o_gram.php?do=main&imageid=15

[trafix]

ok i sent Max to myself

there should be 2 'vbog_sendmail' ... one in email body pheases and the other in email subject phrase .... if you do a phrase search in your admin area .... do you get them boh? is seems to me that the email body is missing

[docvader]

I'm missing the email body one. Can you tell me what it is so I can add it??

And what would cause the message text box to not allow any sort of message input??? My forums work fine; just can't add a message to this the gram.

[trafix]

vbog_sendmail body phrase

To view your $navtitle please click $vboptions[bburl]/vb_o_gram.php?do=getmycard&cardid=$cardid&cardtype=$cardtype[vbogram_cardid]
