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.

is there any way to have it resize images to a certain width? I saw a hack on here that said it would decrease the size but I was not sure if that was the size in file size or the actual image size?

thanks

There should be an option in the admincp to set the dimensions for resize. That option will resize both width & height though. Meaning, if you enter the value "115", it will resize the image down to 115x115.

Velocd,

Sorry m8, i get exactly the same results: no error messages, both the unchecked and the checked pics remain on the VERIFY screen.

Btw, isn't anyone with vb 2.3.0 running this hack?

Can any1 send me his/her pverify.php PRIOR to v1.4a?

Thanks!

[Velocd]

I have changed the version to vB Member Photo 1.3b, since the problem with pverify.php is just a hassel since I can't really debug it if I don't have vB2 installed.

So the original pverify.php is in 1.3b.

What tables does your hack edit in the database? I installed it and all of a sudden my pop up pm notification thing doesnt work, I uninstalled the hack and used your page there to supposedly reverse the changes in the database, but Im still having the pm notification prob.....

I installed this hack about 3 months ago, so I'm running the version from then.

It is truely wonderful and I thank you Velocd!

I have one thing I'd like to change on it if anyone knows how to code it.

I use the verify pictures system. when I want to disapprove a photo I have to go into phpMyadmin and delete it from the database and then go into the server, look at each member photo (I have like 100 +) and then delete the unapproved ones.

if an option to delete and disapprove a photo can be added via the admin CP, I would be eternally grateful.

all I need is just the lines of code to add/overwrite and the files to do it to.

Thank you all for your hard work on this hack! Even if this change is never made, it's still an awesome hack that the members of my forums really enjoy!
