Re download

[MotoUp]

Sweet! I've been waiting for this! Thanks a ton.

Where do I go to change the color of the navbar? Or for that matter, add a background image for the navbar?

EDIT: Nevermind, finally found the templates.

[Freakpyromaniac]

Is this also working with photopost Pro ???

[KevNJ]

Ill install when I get home. Looking forward to this.

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /includes/vbgallery/forumhome_complete.php on line 166

also no matter what i do, when the images has comments/replies to it, it always ends up showing 0 on forumhome. It shows up fine in vbgallery, but not in forumhome =[

i have checked that i have the Replies boxes ticked in vbgallery admin and have replies counts towards their post, but it just dont show the correct # of replies on forumhome

[MotoUp]

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not, but When I enable Last Post under the image, it shows never even after I post a reply.

[bandoftheweek]

Will this work with 3.5?

[Zachariah]

Will this work with 3.5?
- I think the XML file will not work. I will update the 3.5x ver soon :)

[P.Jackson]

im still using the 3.5 addon for this hack and still works :D only thing that dont work properly is Users posts show as guests

[MotoUp]

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not, but When I enable Last Post under the image, it shows never even after I post a reply.
Well, I've looked at everything I can possibly think of, and can't find that I'm doing anything wrong, but it still doesn't show the last post...any ideas?

[Freakpyromaniac]

i seem to be having a problem editting the forums/includes/init.php file, once i make the edit, the forum cant connect to database and all sorts of weird problems just when i add that one line

same with my forum :confused:

[thablewprnt]

It really makes me sick when people put up these seemingly cool hacks. But never give proper instructions for people who don't do this everyday!

I didn't see a file call init.php to edit. Does that mean to open the folder and edit the files that are "in it"?! Also the instructions don't say what directories the files should go.
Please excuse my frustration, but I have been working on my board day and night for two weeks straight, and when I don't have easy to follow instructions for mods, that just makes my day even longer.

I give myself some credit for the things I have accomplished, because I literally just picked this up two weeks ago. But most of you guys give instructions that assume a person has prior knowledge, and understands all the tech talk, and jargon.
That's like giving a person a can of paint, and saying...OKaaay....run along now, and go put a new clear coat on your Mercedes! :mad:

connect to your server, navigate to the INCLUDES folder and download the INIT.PHP file inside that folder and open it in wordpad or notepad and edit it as it says.

Then upload it again back to the INCLUDES folder.

Folder: includes
File: init.php (Inside "includes" folder)

can you see individual users galleries with this?

Like, if a user uploaded a gallery of themself, how could I find it by looking at their profile?

I created something that did that back in April.

I am going to make some changes to kill the query @ a later date.

I kept getting errors when I first installed it, it was looking for functions_gallery_store which I had instaleld in the correct places. If I removed _store from the files uploaded and xchanged in init also, the errors went away but nothign is comign up on my site. Its all turned on and all set to YES in the admin panel.

- Do you have Photopost vBGallery install in your system?

This is a hack to integrate the gallery.
This is not a gallery.

is there other Gallery programs besides photopost? ($129.00 is out of my budget)

[Zachariah]

PhotoPost vBGallery (http://www.photopost.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121701) is cheaper, but less options (http://www.photopost.com/compare.html) vs. PRO.

[sabillondesigns]

ah much reasonable price, thanks very much

[Necrosaro420]

I have never used this before....But can this be set so like I click a link, and then it takes you to all of the pictures?

What I want to do is, I run a video game site. I want to have a link in the nav bar that says like "Users Collections" And on that page, I want to have all the user's listed that have a gallery, so you can click the persons name, and then it takes you to the pictures that THEY have submitted and put up.

Is this possible with this? Thanks!

[B3y0nd]

Edit: Nevermind, fixed it.

I see that I have to have purchased vBgallery first. You should make this a little clearer on your start post.

I know it says:
Tested on:
vBulletin 3.6
PhotoPost vBGallery v2.0

....but to the average noob it looks like you might mean two different apps since they are on seperate lines. It looks like this might be a plug in to add a gallery to your site if someone hasn't heard of PhotoPost vBgallery before. Maybe put both lines on the same line so us ignorant noobs,like me, don't get confused. ;)

Uninstalled

[juan71287]

Is there any way to un install the PLUGIN if ur DATABSE goess broken and does not let you go to the unintall plugin page?

[Hornstar]

If I want to show this up on a certain page how would i do this, as i want it to show up on www.gamerzneeds.net/forums/gfx.html and not on the index page. (got a few problems with database errors right now but the site should be up soon)

[juan71287]

I wish I would have been smart and made a DB backup mine went to fritz :(

[Zachariah]

All you need to do to workaround a broken plugin is to edit forums/includes/config.php and add this code immediate after the first line saying <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);
This will disable hooks and plugins until removed, so you should be back to the default vBulletin code.

You can then Uninstall.

[firas]

great...i really liked it:)

how about this feature using in CMPS index page rather than forum page?

This didn't work for me and now I'm really desperate to get my forum back up. The instructions for this plugin are badly explained, and the plugin's achievements themselves are really badly explained. I'm really beginning to regret ever installing this. Can anyone please help, I'm desperate...


EDIT: Ok, I got help with this, and uninstalled the entire thing after my database was down for a looong time.

But if anyone's reading this and considering installing this plugin, I'd say avoid it like the plague.

- "Works around a broken plugin"
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1069374&postcount=72

This will only disable the hooks / plugin system (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/plugin_system).
This will not disable direct file edits you have made.

- There is nothing wrong with the instructions. Before you download the hack to install there is a list of items needed to install.
Tested on:

If you do not have those installed it will not work.


remove the code added in the 1 file edit
uninstall the XML product.

$phrasegroups = array_merge((array)$phrasegroups, (array)array(

[GlobalFusion]

I see you reading Zac. And im eagerly awaiting your reply... as im dead in the water atm (as far as the forumhome enhancement goes anyway.. :))

[edit]
But Alas... you have vanished.. and without a response... :(

[Zachariah]

@GlobalFusion
- This is not for PhotoPost Pro gallery. It is for PhotoPost vBGallery.

Try here for some Pro hacks (http://www.photopost.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=152)

[GlobalFusion]

ok. cheers Zac. Will have a look.

[Hornstar]

Is there anyway to get this positioned down the left hand side of the forumhome? as I am going to have a navigation system on the left hand side, and thought this would be nice to add in extra space.

Thanks.

Location: Custom

Select "Custom" and place $vbgallery in FORUMHOME template for custom location.

[midirtrider]

noticed something weird..

in the vb options>vbgallery... this is what it says..

Imagebit Title
Here you may select to enable items that you would like to display with thumbnails. Yes No
Error:
1

for every option.. under every heading.. the headings are all there.. but the
"Here you may select to enable items that you would like to display with thumbnails. Yes No " is displayed under them all..

Plus when I try to run it on my board I am getting a database error..

I uninstalled the xml. file and removed the require_once(CWD . '/includes/functions_gallery_store.php'); from the init.php file and now my board is back to working fine..
is there a way I can fix this error.. Im a noob and really know very little about coding.

[Draygonia]

After I add this below the init.php file I get a huge error...

require_once(CWD . '/includes/functions_gallery_store.php');

That gives a database error, its kinda bad :( Also, where are the template edits in the readme file?

[G_Man]

Hey this thing doesn't work if you upload the files to wrong directory *blush*

After fixing MYSELF, everything is working beautifully.

Thanks, Zac. Love the additions and LOVE vbaGallery. :D :D :D

Hmmm... first mod I've tried since just installing VB, and I've got problems. :surprised: Didn't think I could stuff it up, looks so easy. I ran the XML file, uploaded the files and edited the init.php. Now for all pages on the forum I get a "database error" page.

When I view the source, I get:

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'phrasegroup_adv_gallery' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

Help???

I had the same issue. After a little research on the photopost.com release thread I noticed that with the vBGallery v2.0 GOLD release that there are quite a few database table name changes (if not all of them).

In order to not conflict with other vBAdvanced products the tables of the gallery have been renamed. The prefix of tables changed from adv_gallery_ to ppgal_

adv_gallery_categories --> ppgal_categories
adv_gallery_customfields --> ppgal_customfields
adv_gallery_customfields_entries --> ppgal_customfields_entries
adv_gallery_ecards --> ppgal_ecards
adv_gallery_exif --> ppgal_exif
adv_gallery_favorites --> ppgal_favorites
adv_gallery_filetypes --> ppgal_filetypes
adv_gallery_images --> ppgal_images
adv_gallery_moderator --> ppgal_moderator
adv_gallery_permissions --> ppgal_permissions
adv_gallery_posts --> ppgal_posts
adv_gallery_rate --> ppgal_rate
adv_gallery_search --> ppgal_search
adv_setting --> ppgal_setting
adv_settinggroup --> ppgal_settinggroup
adv_gallery_subscribecat --> ppgal_subscribecat
adv_gallery_subscribeimage --> ppgal_subscribeimage

When you upgrade this will stop hacks in your site that use the gallery's old tables. Please disable or repair the add-ons in your site before upgrade.


I imagine users that are running the v2.0 betas with the older database table names are not having this issue but users like us that have installed the latest v2.0 GOLD with the new table names are out of luck with the hack until Zach updates it.

EDIT:
It appears that an updated version has been released by Zach on the PhotoPost forums HERE (http://www.photopost.com/forum/showthread.php?t=127460) as it lists the vBGallery version as "v2.0 GOLD". The README.TXT in that download confirms this with the latest version notes. I am out of time tonight but will attempt to install that one tomorrow.

Didn't find any updates of this hack there..:p

This was fixed by finding and deleting "$privatecatids" out of the gallery_block.php file under modules.

This will not be needed in vBGallery 2.1 +

Now I did, when I looked for it first it wasn't there :)

Anyway, just installed it without problems, admicp shows correctly and hack is active but no images show on forum :alien:

[TRR]

yow. does this not work with the "Right Side Column 1.0.2" mod? When I install, it blows up my forum home page. Pictures are all over the place, various bits of html, and other general oddities and foolery.

Hmm. I started getting a bunch of these:

Ideas?

is there a way to make the thumbs at forumhome bigger?

I think because I am using the Blaze template, it is not showing up on my forumhome. How can I add it in there?

You should be able to select "custom" in the placement of the hack.

add: $vbgallery

In the forumhome template.

[ABeautifulBrown]

hey. I put that in the template and I set the placement to custom. I still don't see it though. It's supposed to be showing above my stats mod display but nothing shows. Any ideas? TIA!

I'm reading all the database errors here, I sure don't want to go through those again.

Well, this almost got me kicked off of my hoster because of the ineffient coding, so I removed it.

And I quote the message I received after trying to get this installed:


There were some developments this morning with your site that were causing crashes. This was apparently due to some photo gallery hack you had installed in your vBulletin install. I've needed to disable this, as it's both highly inefficient code and was resulting in degraded service for everyone. We've also determined your account to be using an excessive amount of CPU time and memory on the server. Your site is currently responsible for 10-20% of the CPU time and up to 33% of the memory usage on the system over the past few weeks.


Remove it and no longer having problems.

I use the Tangerine style and i want to display 4 pictures in one colum.
In the left header colum of this style under the advertising bar see attachment. when i use the $vbgallery it does not display what am i doing wrong?

I've added two attachments for a better understanding cause my english is not so good.

You should have no need of this hack in 2.1 vBGallery.
- I have ran across this problem before.

The person had Left side column on forum home only (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=117988) installed and the gallery images would not show up on their side block.

What I did to make it work:

1) your side bar is attached to phase_template this hook runs before forumhome_complete.

What I had to do to get it working is move plugin "PhotoPost vBGallery Forumhome" from hook location forumhome_complete to global_start.

2) I edited "PhotoPost vBGallery Forumhome"

Replaced:
require(DIR . '/includes/vbgallery/forumhome_complete.php');

With:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'){
require(DIR . '/includes/vbgallery/forumhome_complete.php');
}


3) place $vbgallery in the side block template.

[DeeNice]

1) your side bar is attached to phase_template

I dont know what you mean with the phase_template!
The leftcolum is a part of the Tangrine style and i kan only edit it in the header template. So i thought i could paste $vbgallery in there.

2) I did make the changes in "PhotoPost vBGallery Forumhome"


3) No luck cause it does not work.:(

What more or different most i do?

Greetings
DeeNice

[da420]

Uninstalled thanks to the sweetness of vBGallery 2.1 :)

[DeeNice]

What did you uninstalled the style?

[da420]

I uninstalled because with vBGallery 2.1 you don't need this hack. Comes built in, along with pictures in member profiles as well.

[DeeNice]

I know that vbgallery 2.1 has all this features. i just want to display the random fotogallery in my left coloum.

[Zachariah]

rinkrat , what version of the vBGallery do you have installed ?

[rinkrat]

"Powered by PhotoPost vBGallery v2.0"

[HMBeaty]

I THINK, not sure though, the tables are now "ppgal_" for 2.0. I'm running 2.1 now though. So you may have to change the table prefix in the product

[da420]

This is a feature BUILT IN to v2.1 of vBGallery... so this hack is not necissary, as it's just a matter of activating an option within your vBGallery options in your admin panel on a default install of vBGallery 2.1.

[zahrani]

I installed the product, did the file edits and it's not showing up. I'm using a custom template system so I'll have to edit a template and add the code.

So what template do I edit and what code do I add?

vbgallery 2.0 on vb3.6.0

[mbkerk]

I tried to install this and my forum is gone! It says "done" on the bottom of my browser, but all I have is a white page.

I uploaded the ".xml file" and that went as predicted. I edited the php file, and that is where all hell broke loose.

I used notepad to add the line that was mentioned to "add below" and saved the file. I uploaded it to the server, and that is when the forum disappeared.

I then went back and took that line back out, saved the init file again, and uploaded it to the server again. No luck. I cannot see the home page, or the admin screen to work on it!

Help please!

EDIT !!!

It was never really gone. I followed a link from an e-mail notification I got for a private message earlier today, and got to that page OK. When I tried to look at the home page, I got a blank white page again. I backed into the admin page from the private message page, and uninstalled the modification from the plug in area (xml file) and now things are normal again... whew! Scared the hell out of me!

Anyway, I love this mod, and would like to use it. Can someone tell me where I made a mistake and try to convince me to try the install again? Do I have to pay for the product before it is installed?

Thanks!

Is there a way to approve deny images from thr admin cp? for example a member could upload offensive/sexual images and they would appear on my forum home rofl. Thanks for help, looks real good.

Hmmm, Winzip is saying this download is not a valid archive....is it just me having problems with it?

[MotoUp]

Any idea why only admins and mods can see it on forum home? I can't find permissions for it anywhere.

EDIT: I got it installed, but as soon as I overwrite the forumhome_complete.php file, the forum home says that the gallery is turned off. I checked, and it is active. If I leave the forumhome_complete.php from the gallery, the images show up, but only admins and moderators can see the images on the forum home. Any ideas?

[Zachariah]

Hey MotoUp,
What gallery version are you running ?

[MotoUp]

vBGallery 2.3. You helped me get it up and running awhile back after the upgrade went AWOL.

ya, all the days seem to bur together :rolleyes:
- You do not need this add-on as of 2.1+

AdminCP => vBgallery => Modify Add-Ons
- forumhome
- profile

[MotoUp]

Yeah, I agree, the days do run together! LOL

Ah, Okay, I thought this addon added that. Modify Add-Ons. It does work if someone is an admin or Moderator, but none of the regular registered users can see it. Any clue? Guessing it's permissions, but I can't figure out where to change it.

[MotoUp]

UPDATE: When I uninstalled the plugin, the images on the forum home went away, but it is enabled in the modify add-ons section...I'm cornfused. :confused:

If I reupload the forumhome_complete from the gallery directory instead of the file from the plugin, then I get an error.

i am getting a error with this:

Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/vbgallery/forumhome_complete.php on line 19

[GoTTi]

nevermind

[OmniBuzz]

Screwed my board.
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); saved my board.
First time something like this happen to me with a mod. If you don't know what you are doing, stay away from this mod.

[mighty mouse]

I followed the directions exactly.

Once I add the line

require_once(CWD . '/includes/functions_gallery_store.php');

in the init.php I get a database error and all stops.

I then go back in the init.php and rem the line and I get this.

Warning: main(./includes/functions_gallery.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/vbgallery/forumhome_complete.php on line 16

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/functions_gallery.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mightys/public_html/forum/includes/vbgallery/forumhome_complete.php on line 16

I take everything out and all goes back to normal. What am I doing wrong or why won't it work?

[mighty mouse]

Nevermind. I am retarded. I thought this was a gallery. I don't have a gallery installed. Kind of hard to use a hack that adds gallery images to your home page when you don't even have a gallery.

I'm lost. So we have to buy photopost or is there a specific mod called PhotoPost vBGallery v2.1??????

Maybe I am in the wrong thread....

Shame on me for not seeing this was a upgrade/update( Sorry I did not see it): I'm now locked out of my forum and ACP. This is a first for me from any hack of VB and now 75 folks are wondering what I did wrong. After I uploaded the XML file as others have said > fatality sunk in.
Can somebody please tell me how to remove the Product .XML file of this hack from my Cpanel? So that I can start over? Just a note: Would be great to see a warning in bold to prevent this happening to others.

Thanks to anyone willing to help.

There is a global, code-level switch you can use to totally disable the plugin/hook system so that any plugins (including broken ones) do not run.

To disable the plugin/hook system completely without accessing the Admin CP options, you need to edit includes/config.php and add the following code:
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);
With this code in config.php, no plugins will run at all.

To re-enable the plugin system, remove the code again from config.php.

Thanks Zachariah! I got in, and purchased the latest PhotoPost the other day for VB, I uninstalled this hack for the time being and took out the one template mod and installed the photopost , everything seemed to be fine except... nothing shows in my vb options and nothing shows in my forums, so I removed the install file from the admincp folder and tried uploading it via add new add/import product. But still nothing Note: I do have vbgallery showing in the left side panel and I made sure to make it active and set the admin permissions and url/ file paths. Any idea's?

p.s I made sure to undo (define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); Before the install
I sent a pm to you at photopost.com as well.

Thanks again:D

This doesn't work on 3.7
Any chance of an upgrade?

You need the new vBGallery 2.4.2 for the 3.7

[we_scooter]

[blue6995]

Is this going to be updated so it works with Vb 3.7? If it isn't, any idea how I can display the photos from vBGallery on the front page?

There is no need of tis hack if your are playing with VBGallery 2.0+ it is built in.

Thank you for your reply. I am using PhotoPost vBGallery 2.0 and I see what was wrong. I needed to edit the init.php file as shown in the readme file.

Where can I buy an updated version of vBGallery?
