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.

it works *g*.......ich Dummi hatte nicht alle queries ausf?hren lassen, kopierte alle auf einmal zum ausf?hren und wieder etwas gelernt

ICQ ist schon eine nette Erfindung:-)

I believe the line in profile.php:

             $profilepic['comment'] = fetch_censored_text($profilepic['comment']);

needs to be

           if ($profilepic) {
             $profilepic['comment'] = fetch_censored_text($profilepic['comment']);
           }

Otherwise, a user who doesn't have a profile picture currently uploaded will get the "Your Current Profile Picture" fieldset in his/her Edit Profile Picture section.

can't wait to see this working

I'm still having an issue trying to add a comment to an already uploaded picture, too. If I add the comment at the time of the pic upload, it works. Attempting it subsequently produces a board error.

Actually, I intentionally made it do this. I can't precisely remember why, it may have been that some bug would have got in the way thus making it longer to code. Also, I figured most people put one comment for each unique picture, and leave it be, until they upload a new picture.

I see. Well, perhaps an interim workaround is to add a note below the comment text field explaining this. I'm only running it on my test board right now and already three testers have mentioned it. Bound to keep reappearing in a live environment. You know people will keep wanting to change this (like their signature).

Cheers,

sorry but i don't have this Option in my vbioptinons.php or ACP.

I have now upgrade from vBindex-3[1].0.0-RC3_Build-8 to vBindex-3-0-0-RC5_Build-5, but NO enable feature :surprised:

[welo]

Sorry, I am forced to uninstall this hack. Too many weird errors and enduser ambiguities floating around it for use in a live environment yet. I'll take a fresh look at it later when I have more time. It's a great idea though.

This is how it should look like after upgrading to RC5. Then you select custombox 3 and you edit the template which is named like this.

Hi ,

Sorry about the n00bish Q, i am new to VB3.

The only problem i am having on the installation instructions is..
25. Create a new template called album_display

I am unsure about creating a new template, Do i just open Notepad , put in the code you provided and save as album_display.php ?

I have searched the forums but cant find any help on this subject.

Many thanks

-TyC

OK i worked out how to make the template , no thanks to anyone here!

I got all the Errors everyone else got until i debuged like everyone else & it worked , only problems now are images on the album.php dont appear , all you see is a red x.

When i try upload a new picture i get this error.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/httpd/vhosts/URL/httpdocs/forum/includes/functions_upload.php on line 417

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: build_image() in /home/httpd/vhosts/URL/httpdocs/forum/includes/functions_upload.php on line 204

i think im going to remove this Hack now

Hi,

first of all welcome if you are new to vb. The first thing you should learn is to be patient. The second thing to read the threads. Multiple people have asked a lot of questions and many people run into the same problems.

On top of this i would suggest that you install a testboard where you can test things out first.

Cheers,

Ok, take a deep breath and calm down and we'll see about getting this fixed for you.

First of all, what code is on this line in this file?

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/httpd/vhosts/URL/httpdocs/forum/includes/functions_upload.php on line 417

I'm having a little bit of trouble on my site with your gallery.

http://www.midsouthraves.org/community/album.php

Some of the images don't get parsed when I rebuild the profile picture thumbnails. At first I thought it was the GIF files but it's happening with jpgs that users have uploaded as well.

When I run the script to rebuild the images in my control panel it looks as if it's stuck in a loop and eventually times out or something, I haven't figured out what exactly it's doing because after awhile (by the time i'm tired of watching the page flicker) it's mysteriously stopped.

Any suggestions? It's almost working!

Does this happen to all of your new uploads ? Which gd version are you using ? What seetings did you choose in the ACP for the thumbnails ?

Cheers,
