vB3 Member Album 2.0

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

Thanks, Velocd -- the albumcp_debug.php worked great!

This likely has to do with the $perpage value in albumcp.php, and some weird bug.

I don't have a lot of time to debug it now, but one troubleshooting solution I can provide is to erase the $perpage chunk of code, and re-generate all thumbnails in one process.

I've attached a customized albumcp.php that does just this. Be sure to rename it albumcp.php to use it. If it still doesn't work, and locks up, then there might be a problem with the actual GD-image handling functions. (although I sort of doubt it)

This is strange. I installed the hack on a windows 2000 Server running Apache and MySQL and all went fine. Now installed it on SuSe Linux and Apache and MySQL and i got the same error message after a fresh install.

Then i went straight to my ACP clicked on the member photo options and saved them once. After this my division by zero error in album.php and functions.php was gone.

I thought that could be interesting for all of you.

Cheers,

Velocd can you enhanced this mod to make it into a personals page? I also like the idea of using profile (for members own pic)

Mike. I'm getting this for all the signatures:

Can this be fixed?

Hi Bob,

That field is only captured when there is a change made and it is saved - the default is 0.

You can default a date of your choice in there by running this script:

UPDATE usertextfield SET sigdateline = 'unixtimestamp'

Good thing you have that tool, aye?

That tool is nice. Are you still going to make a vb page out of it?

Is there a way to not have it show a last update time until it actually is updated? That would be better I think.

[Velocd]

Yep, and that actually makes more sense. Will update the install.html.

In the template album_sig_list, find:

<br /><br />Last modified:<br />$user[sigdate], <font class="time">$user[sigtime]</font>

Replace it with:

<if condition="$user[sigdateline]"><br /><br />Last modified:<br />$user[sigdate], <font class="time">$user[sigtime]</font></if>

I'm not quite sure what you mean. :\

Review the thread. I've mentioned many a times I don't plan to build add-ons for this hack.

No multiple images, no commenting system, yadda yadda.

You are free to do so yourself.

Hello,

i would like to know if there is anyone interested in an upgrade path from this hack for version 2.3.x to version 3.0.0 ? I have created a script to migrate all the pictures from the old hack into the new hack.

The only disadvantage will be that all comments will be cut off after 40 characters because the new entry field in the user options is limited to 40 characters which was 255 characters before.

If people are interested to migrate please respond in here. I am more then happy to help out because Velocd has done a great job with these 2 hacks.

If you are not sure which hack i am talking about here is the link to the old vb2.3.x hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hlight=gallery

Cheers,

Thank you, sir. That actually looks much better.

Well, the HTML input field "maxlength" attribute does little to actually restrict the data that can be passed.

The comment field in the table customprofilepic is varchar(255), meaning it can hold up to 255 characters. I only set the INPUT maxlength value to 40, as I thought that was suitable for this hack.

Both can be changed.

Correct. My script just cuts off every character after the 40th one. So if someone needs to go beyond the 40 characters he can just uncomment this cut function and he will have all 255 characters available assuming that he changes the input field from 40 to 255.

But no one is interested in this script so far. I am fine with the 40 characters.

Cheers,

[Velocd]

If you want, I can place the script as an attachment in the first post, so people will see it more easily.

Defiantly a good incentive for people to upgrade if they currently have the old member gallery.
