4images Forum & Community

G'day all,

Just wondering if there's a way that you can track who downloaded a particular image in a gallery that has been integrated with a vBulletin message forum?

There's been hacks to track who downloaded attachments on vBulletin, so I'm assuming it wouldn't be so difficult to do the same for 4images, but I've no idea how!

eric,

i don't know, just try it...

Tried it, and it puts it in a table above the header.

Okay, some progress with getting a random pic in a side block on vbPortal.

What I did was to paste the code from the above text file into a php file (with <?php at the start and ?> at the end) and then uploaded it to my vbPortal includes directory.

I then created a new PHP block and edited the URL line to point to the php file in the includes directory.

The only problem with that is that the echo command has the image displayed right at the top of every vbPortals page above the header.  Now my question is how do I get it to display in the specified side block and only on the main vbPortal page, rather than above the header on every page?

// ADD IN TEMPLATE(S) / FÜGE DIES IN DEIN(E) TEMPLATE(S)

Code: [Select]


<img src="{template_url}/images/{rating_pic}" width="55" height="10" alt="" />

// OR / ODER

Code: [Select]


<img src="{template_url}/images/{rating_pic}" width="55" height="10" alt="{lang_rating} {image_rating} ({image_votes} {lang_votes})" />


In which template, and where in that template, is this meant to go?

Okay I tried adding the code to index.php and putting $randompic in a new side block on vbPortal but that didn't work, so I made a new PHP side block, included the entire code from the random_for_VB.txt file, and added echo $randompic; at the end but that only resulted in a parse error.

EDIT: The parse error is on the last line of the code...


$randompic = "<a href=\"".SCRIPT_URL."details.php?image_id=$image_id\"><img src=\"".$thumb_src."\" border=\"0\" alt=\"$image_name\"></a><br /><smallfont>Image Name: $image_name<br />Comments: $image_comments</smallfont>\n";


I'd really prefer to have the random image come up on my site's vbPortal front page, rather than the front page of the forums, but how can I do it?

And just to reask, how would I get the code to extract the category name for the random image chosen and display it as a link to the category underneath the random image's name?

If you want to display the upload button in the gallery only for admins, change the permission for upload in the category edit screen to "Administrators".

Ah, I already did that but wasn't sure if that removed the upload button for non-admins or not.

Thanks again Jan!  

Everything's working perfectly now, thank you Jan!  You're a fantastic help, and I appreciate it very much!

Cheers,

Jan, I'm using the modified sessions.php file, but it's still showing up 0 for invisible users even though there are currently two users marked with an asterisk, which is the indicator for a user whose status is invisible, in the online list.

Help!
