vB Member Photo

vB Member Photo
by Velocd

This hack, as well all my other vB2 hacks, I no longer provide support for (being I run vB3 and it's too much hassel to debug vB2). When vB3 Release Candidate comes out, by request I might convert some of my hacks.

Updates:

Latest update was version 1.3b on 08.01.03.


Description:

It's been ages since my last hack, due to my lack of time for coding lately. This feature here though is one I developed for my forum about a week ago, and just recently completed making the instructions for it so I could release it on vBulletin.org.

Just as the name implies, this hack will allow your members to upload a photo of themselves (or whatever you allow), then that photo will be stored in a directory of your website. In addition to just the photo, using the GD2.0 Library, thumbnails are generated corresponding to each members photo and placed inside the directory. A new link via the memberlist nav page will then be able for access to view these images all organized neatly in a photo gallery.

In addition to just this, there is a verification system integrated with the ACP for easy checking of images the members upload, before they are placed in the photo gallery.

The main reason I developed this hack is because all the other photo gallery hacks are pretty.. well, ineffective.

Features:

• Utilizes GD2.0 to automatically generate thumbnails for your uploaded images
• Organized photo gallery with a very easy-to-browse interface
• Verification system allows efficient methods of regulating what is shown in the photo gallery
• A wide variety of customizable options via the Admin CP

Requirements/Restrictions:

• GD2.0 Library is absolutely needed, which comes pre-installed with the latest PHP version, 4.3.0.
• This script does not support multiple-image uploads, and I will not be releasing a version of this hack does!
• Because the GD library does not support the GIF image format, the photo gallery does not either. The only images that can be uploaded are PNG and JPG. (I hardly think this will be an issue for the most of us)

Installation:

1. Upload install_photo.php to your admin directory, and run it through your browser. All instructions for this hack are listed in there.
2. After the hack is installed, go to your "admin cp -> options" page and set the member photo gallery options to your own preference.

Screenshots:

Refer to the next several posts.

If you use this hack, please remember to click install!

Just installed this hack.. took a while. Then I realized my system is hosted on a windows box and is not capable of running GD. Well, I modified some of the scripts and got the members photo album to work, just couldnt use the thumbnails. Modified gdresize and member.php

Gonna go click on install now

Windows can run GD... just install the distributable version of PHP 4.3.1 is avaiable now, edit the php.ini to remove the comment line from

extension=php_gd2.dll

Download the PHP zip for windows (not the installer package), and extract php_gd2.dll into your PHP directory... It'll work like a charm.

imagecreatefromjpeg() is a GD2.0 predefined function, and if this is coming up as undefined, then you have an error in your GD installation, or maybe JPG support is not enabled for GD.

Do as I have instructed to a user in this previous post:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...911#post360911

Then make sure JPG/PNG is enabled, and that PHP on the server is being started with GD support.

Colby, according to the link you sent to me of your Phpinfo info page, there is no reference whatsoever of GD installed. I would inform your host about this to insure that they have absolutely installed it. you are running PHP 4.2.3, also, so it does not come pre-installed with it.

[colby]

I am good friends with my host, and I was wondering if you could tell me where i could tell him to get this GD thing for his servers, please?

[Velocd]

You can download GD from http://www.boutell.com/gd/
(just search "GD library" in google)

Possible to display the member photo in their profile?
