Add PhotoPost vBGallery to each forum.

This hack will allow you to select what catagories from vBGallery to display in a film strip format under the $navbar. This will show in every thread of the forum as well.

DEMO (http://www.gzhq.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=780)
Subject: Science
Forum: 780
Gallery Catagories: 4,20
----------------------------------*/

Each forum extra options:

** Add vBgallery images on this Forum

- Image Count:
(How many images would you like to show ?)

- Image Order:
(Enter 1 for newest, 2 for most viewed, 3 for most comments, 4 for highest rated, 5 for random.)

- Select Catagory(s):
(Here you can list catagories you wish to show images from. EX: 1,10,20)

- Show Imagebit:
(Title, Description, Rating, Username, Views, Dimensions, and more.)

[Zachariah]

1st post FAQ

- Show Imagebit:
(Title, Description, Rating, Username, Views, Dimensions, and more.)

This works @ the moment like an On/Off switch per forum. With the current development of the hack there is not a choice of custom Imagebit setting per forum. You can however edit a core plug-in and change what fields show. This setting will show on all forums that have Show Imagebit enabled.

I have not created a new adv_gallery_imagebit
- gallery_columns is still linked w/ main gallery.

looks nice :D

I like this one, is there 1 I can use on the center, left or right side of forum yet?

[Zachariah]

I like this one, is there 1 I can use on the center, left or right side of forum yet?

The left / right sides of the forums is only on the showthread.php and forumdisplay.php or is it site wide ?

What are you trying to do ?

[sensimilla]

great addon Zachariah! thanks alot for it.

Thanks Zach

Going to give this a go :cool:

excellent hack.. but can't we make this step easier.. i mean i always add new categories.. i really do'nt want to go through 40 forums to update them one by one.. :bunny:

isn't there another way of doing things.?

1)
When you create a new forum you have the option to add the gallery catagories at that time also.

2)
This is to add select image groups from the gallery to select forums.

EX From DEMO link:

In the a forum we talk about Science and the images that show are from 2 science catagories in the gallery. This could work on any subject (forum) that you need image interaction.

3)
What did you need or have in mind ? :)

This is a great mod and my users are loving it.

I would say you do not have PhotoPost vBGallery 1.0.2 installed.

[Zachariah]

1st post updated.

Template Bug:

Edit: forumdisplay_vbgallery
Change:
colspan="$foruminfo[vbgcat]"
To:
colspan="$foruminfo[vbgcount]"

[mikeclarke]

I did something bad. Now when I try to edit options in forum manager I get the error below. Any idea how to fix?

Fatal error: Field vbgcount is not defined in $validfields in class vb_datamanager_forum in \includes\class_dm.php on line 485

update: I uninstalled reinstalled works great.

[Zachariah]

Cool :)

[Magle]

This looks like a great hack, but it would be nice with a setting so showing the strip in the threads would be optional, please. (Personally I'd like it to show on the forum display but not in the threads as well)

Plugin: Add vBGallery - Main
Hook Location: global_start

Remove:
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'){
$search_text = '$navbar';
$vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD'] = str_replace($search_text,
$search_text.fetch_template('forumdisplay_vbgaller y'),$vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD']);
}


- I'll add later w/ option in AdminCP to toggle per forum.

[Magle]

Thanks :)

However, after installing there seems to be a serious conflict between this hack and VBSEO I believe. After installing (and re-installing without the edit from above above), most threads in the forum will not display and instead shows this:


Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /*path removed*/music-forums/includes/functions_gallery_store.php on line 23

Reverting the edit to the init.php file brings things back to normal (but then the hack will of course not function).

You are running PHP5.x on your webserver ?

[Magle]

Yes, PHP version 5.0.4

[Zachariah]

Yes, PHP version 5.0.4

Try this new file please.

/forums/includes/functions_gallery_store.php

[Magle]

That fixed the problem! Thanks!

[Zachariah]

That fixed the problem! Thanks!
Cool beans.

The behavior of array_merge() was modified in PHP 5.
Unlike PHP 4, array_merge() now only accepts parameters of type array.

[FleaBag]

Hiya Zach baby! Does this work with 3.6.0 out of the box?

[bulbasnore]

Ever get an answer on 3.6?

[Quarterbore]

I just got the newest Gallery version and I plan to upgrade one of my sites to 3.6.2... I hope this works but if not I will share any code changes that were needed as this looks like a must have for my site!

[Delw]

Zach.

On my test board this hack works fine. running 3.6.4
however on my live board 3.6.3 I get this error

I got the same error after upgrading vBgallery to 2.1. Had to disable this mod. Btw, I'm running vB 3.6.4.

Any chance this could one day be included in the vBGallery itself, like the forum home and profile mods? :)

[Delw]

Its really easy to fix to make it work in 3.6.4. I did it on my first try.
if Zach ( or an admin) gives me the ok I will tell the changes.

I dont know if its ok or not as I never redid someones stuff before and dont know how that works.

[Delw]

to make it work for vb 3.6.* - 3.6.4 and PhotoPost vBGallery v2.1
you just need only to change the xml file

line 41 was
$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('adv_gallery_imagebit','forumdisplay_vbgalle ry',));


change line 41 to


$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('ppgal_imagebit','forumdisplay_vbgallery',)) ;



line 170 was

FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "adv_gallery_images AS images


Change line 170 to
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "ppgal_images AS images


do not upload the file functions_gallery_store.php as vbgallery already has this file in there in the version 2.1

just follow the org. directions omitting the functions_gallery_store.php upload



Delw

[bulbasnore]

Stunning analysis Delw. Only change then is necessitated by the name change of the gallery tables. Nicely documented. Thank you so much!

[TomC18]

Will this work on VB 3.6.4?

[Delw]

yes if you follow these directions in post #30

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1153971&postcount=30

[rnmcd]

Does anyone know of a vb ver. 3.6.4 board with this installed that I could view?

The DEMO link doesn't seem to work.

[Delw]

<a href="http://www.azbasszone.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=37" target="_blank">http://www.azbasszone.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=37</a>

you can see it working at the above link.

A word of caution we found that using this in version 3.6.4 and with the new version of gallery doesn't work with polls. its a bug and Zach was working on it when he gets time.
if you use polls in the same forum as the pics , the polls will not work, however both work fine if not in the same forum.

Delw

[rnmcd]

Thank you for the information and the caveat.

So you are saying that polls will not work on threads in

[Fenriz]

Is it possible to get it work on PhotoPost vBGallery 2.2? This hack doesn't work because there isn't any functions_gallery_store.php on this build. Please help to get it work.
Thanks in advance..

[Zachariah]

I plan on doing a revise :)

[Fenriz]

Zachariah, is there an option in vBGallery 2.3 to show the same image bar throught all the forum pages?

[bulbasnore]

Once again, this is pretty cool. Works on 3.6.7_pl1. Zechariah, why not update this mod? ITs more comprehensive than the currently updated one. Such a small change to make this current.

[Blackhat]

what about 3.6.8 ?

[Zachariah]

working on that
perhaps a few days.

[Fenriz]

Zacharin, I need to show one random picture from vbgallery 2.3 in every forum page (would be better if it is overlayed). Please check this thread https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=154810

[trackpads]

Has this been update or has anyone gotten it to work 3.7?

[Zachariah]

Has this been update or has anyone gotten it to work 3.7?
