Description:
Let's face it, IPB's xml extraction isnt perfect. Infact, for me it nearly never works. So, I made this to automaticly extract all files from the XML!

What you have to do:
Download Winrar, or other client to extract .gz files.
Extract the XML file inside your skins GZ file, and upload it in the same dir as the script.
Go to the script, and type in the file name and folder to extrat to
Submit

and you're done! Congrats.

Does not work with safe mode!

nice, ipb seems to have trouble extracting new folders

At 2.1 that bug of extracting new folders solved?

I dont fully understand how to get this working. Where EXACTLY do I put everything?
Can someone please explain this in depth, I really need to use it.
Thanks.

i also dun understand it...but after i ran it, my acount at funpic became not availeble....

Same here i also don't get it

exactly as per the instructions but for more detailed instructions

e.g.

Create a folder somewhere on your server (e.g. extract_images)

upload the unzipped extract_img.php file into it

using winzip (or other unzip prog) extract the images xml.gz file of the skin so you end up with xml file only

upload this images xml file to the folder you created earlier

run the uploaded extract_img.php file via your browser

enter the images filename in top box

enter where you want them extracted to (e.g. images/)

Click submit button

when finished ... check the images folder (or whatever name you entered in 2nd box) and all being well .. lo and behold ... the images etc should be there

Have tested this and also works with 2.2.1 skin images

this looks good but complicated to me

if complicated then can't help that ... someone asked for more detailed instructions ... thats what that is

have you really tried to understand it ... or just looked and it and said 'looks like too much involved' ... without even trying it ??

it's as simple as 123

Is it compatible with 2.1.6?

if worked originally on 2.0.x and also works on 2.2.x then can't see why it won't for versions inbetween

no matter where i do it keeps telling me you dont have permission to access /aqua or whatever or where ever i put it, on this server.

ps. this is what i get when i go to your file

NOTE: do not put in a .gz file here. You must extract the XML archive from the .gz file. You can do this with WinRar.
' method='post'> XML location

Where to extract to?


', '', $file); $file = str_replace('', '', $file); $file = str_replace('', '', $file); $files = explode('', $file); foreach($files as $finfo){ $content = explode('', $finfo); $content = base64_decode($content[1]); $filename = explode('', $finfo); $path = explode('', $finfo); @mkdir("./".$_POST['xt2']); @chmod("./".$_POST['xt2'], 0777); @mkdir("./".$_POST['xt2']."/".$path[1]); $ddd = @fopen($_POST['xt2']."/".$path[1]."/".$filename[1], 'a+'); @fwrite($ddd, $content); @fclose($ddd); chmod("./".$_POST['xt2']."/".$path[1], 0777); echo "File: ".$path[1]."/".$filename[1]." extracted... created... filled... moving on...
"; } } ?>

note: then when i hit submit when all the info is accepted i get you dont have permmission to acces/< on this server, theres always a /< after whatever i put in, so theres an error in the php file...

all the file does is create the folders, no image appear anywhere(only folders)

OMG I needed this so much since my host has safe mode on!!!

If you can't import any images as well (because of the stupid safe mode) then find a host (http://www.cp-free.com/ is great! no stupid safe mode) and upload the script and the xml and extract, download, and upload to the forum on the safe mode host!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH AUTHOR!

edit: TESTED AND WORKS!
