[RELEASE vb2.0+] vB Photo Upload

Update : Sept 6
-- Thanks to wajones who pointed out a couple of things, I updated the files.
-- 1. The icons in the top right corner, one of them was suppose to point to the user help file but it was renamed and I forgot to update the code.
-- 2. There was a header error in the admin panel, which was corrected by wajones... if future problems happens please tell me.

------end update.

Well everyone, I decided tonight to release this and just see what happens from there on. I got caught up in working on my multi-page profile for my site, and kind of forgot about this. Sorry I do that a lot, in which I am sure everyone does.

First off... please read all of the files that I have included in this, the Installation.txt file is something I slapped together at the last minute and probably needs proof read... but who cares. The Readme.txt file explains what all the files are, and has some other tidbit information.

The only things you will really need to upload is: upload.php, userhelp.html, vbuploadinstall.php and the images and image folder.

I tried to explain the best way to have it... is putting those three files in the root of your vb folder, then just upload the images folder, which will create a sub folder inside that for the two image icons. Then you will have to create another folder like I suggested named "uploaded" meaning uploaded pictures. Then you will have to chmodd that to 777 and go from there. Then you will have to go through the upload.php file and change the variable preferences to fit your site. I tried to do the best possible explanation of how to do it through my comments throughout the files. So pay attention to those, also feel free to customize the userhelp file to fit your site and everything.

One thing I kind of fell short on.. was a cool profile page.. I mean I included a getinfo template that I used when I first made this, which was on vb2.0.1 and now that added like ignore and stuff so.. you might just want to create your own template up in your favorite web page builder or in notepad.. whatever. And go from there with the variables that I include.

Just pretty much go through the installation files and everything and follow the steps and you should not have any problems.. not saying you won't but... hopefully the F.A.Q. file will help with that.

Some might hate it, some might like it... if you hate it.. don't download it.. or install it.

To uninstall, follow the steps you took to install it and reverse them

ALWAYS BACKUP Before doing hacks... installations, changes, etc!

**Warning** Install at your own risk!

and... there is no place like home! Just remember that!

P.S. search these forums.. for screen shots and there is no demo as of right now... well there was but I Took it down

I did, but can't find a solution.. my english isn't that good either..

Need to check your copy paste job..

from looking above.. the solution was going back and finding an error in posting in the wrong place of the vb file.

Thanks, I found the error.

Think you did a mistake in your filechanges.html file:

Changes to admin/user.php:

find:
<?php
and right below that put this!:

error_reporting(7);
require("./global.php");
/* ......

-

then there's going to be two of error_reporting and require in the same file - to solve it: simply delete the other two below the part you pasted in

true thanks for the heads up on that...

that was changed code after the release.. so it was a sloppy job of fixing it up lol.... but none the less should be fixed.

when I get home I will update it again.. although I thought I did.. maybe I left that on my laptop.. and forgot to upload it

So let me get this straight... this hack is used to add a picture of yourself (or whatever) in your profile? If yes, what if I would want to have this option only available to those who earned the right to upload when they hit a certain amount of posts like the avatars?

[ToraTora!]

The user posts, or time accumulated as a member, coupled with our mini gallery hack, is something that will appear in future versions.
For now though, this version is all that is being currently supported, documented, and released until we decide on the other aspects of the hack.

[SirSteve]

I added the hack and have these problems:

It uploaded with no errors but this is what gets displayed after a pic is uploaded:

"Last Updated : @"

Isn't the picture supposed to be viewed on the Get Info (Profile For) page?

Mine doesn't display. You can view it here:

well, the only thing i get is a user permission screen when i click on the link, and personally, im not signing up for anymore boards...lol..

The only advice i can offer, is to read through this thread. If your pic is not showing up, there are at least a dozen reasons why, however, the most likely is that you entered in the member.php information incorrect.
If you are not recieving any errors during, or after uploading, than it tells me you have chmod the folder correctly, and have the path correctly entered. To make sure, check your folder, and see if there is any pictures that you have uploaded inside it. If there is, like i have stated before, you have entered in your member.php information incorrectly, Not created the proper adderess in the show template, or have not used the correct variable to display the picture.

Ok, I was able to get the photo to show. Now the only problems I have now are the following calls not displaying the information:

$pic_lastupdated and $time4lastupdate
$Width_Restrictions
$Type_Restrictions

I can dummy out the last two but need the first one working. Other than that, nice looking hack!

Also, when I click on Edit Photo Upload via admin CP, I get this:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare stripslashesarray() in thiswasdeleted/forums/admin/global.php on line 14

Line 14 states:
$arr[$key]=stripslashes($val);

And how do I get the upload.php page to have the vbulletin header and footer?

As if you did not know.. from reading above.. oh wait maybe you didn't.. and yes I am not in that good of a mood. Because of college problems..

if you would simply look above you can see the the stripslashesarry problem... and the new zip fixed it.

As for the variables not showing up... that was a given, RobAC pointed that out, and I still have not solved that mystery.

There was no header or footer added to my addon, and since it seems you did not read my documents.. I will not support nor will I help change the layout design of it. So if you want to add to it, someone else will help you out if they want to.
