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.

No, it is still not working for me.

I'd like to request that you give us the option to turn off rewrites in the admincp. I worked with Oleg at VBSeo for a few hours and the ISAPI rewrites are correct, but the files still don't seem to show up. From looking at my httpd.ini it is obvious that it is configured for the rewrites properly.

So if we can manually turn off rewrites, and just use the image name (which currently appears to be a random number) we can at least get some functionality out of this script. I'm not sure what the rewrites buy aside from a slightly nicer SEO design.

Please let us know if this option can be worked into the next release.

Thanks!

I'll make something workable.

Did you upload the spy.php in the plugin folder?

Tye,

Seems like you still have the old version.

Please download again. Those FTP related files should have been gone.
