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.

Thanks for this cool hack.
It would be nice if there could be access only for special usergroups.

I did the sql by hand and everything installed fine, now I just need to test everything. I'll re-download it and make sure I have the updated version.

Alrighty, the hack is working however, I don't see a preview and no user bar is seen when making/saving one.

I checked the host and I made sure GD2 is installed.

Hey guys, I had the very same problem:

1. The base image did not show
2. Once saved, the image also did not show.

---------------------------------------------------------------

I fixed the script by doing the following:

Step 1: Fixing the base image to show

1. Open the uploadImage.php (in folder userbar/designer/actions) file in a text editor. Look for:

$path = '../images/content/'.$_GET['id'].'.png?=wtf'.mt_rand(1,1337);

Change this to:

$path = 'userbar/images/content/'.$_GET['id'].'.png?=wtf'.mt_rand(1,1337);

Upload to userbar/designer/actions and overwrite the original file. You will now see the base image.

Step 2: Fixing the saved image to show

1. FTP into your website root and go to your Userbar folder.

2. Create a new folder called 'show' - show

3. Chmod this folder to 777.

Your script will now work.

Has anyone gotten this to work on Windows 2003 server with ISAPI URL Rewrite instead of mod_rewrite?

[MrPHD]

I included a corrected uploadImage.php in the zip currently online.

The show is handled by the .htaccess in the /userbar root. So if modrewrite is working correctly it should be fine.

[stonyarc]

Is this working fine now for all of you?

[Roxie]

Works fine for me.
