[Scandal's] vBGallery

[Scandal]

Description
Turn your vBulletin Album system to an organized Gallery. Watch presentation (http://www.e-student.gr/my/vbgallery/vb4/vbgallery.html)!

The basic idea of Scandal's vBGallery is to organize vBulletin Albums AND forum attachments (pictures) to a section with lots of functions (categories, search, latest objects, statistics, menus etc).
Designed for vBulletin 4.2.0 (otherwise you must add the navbar links manually (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2341553&postcount=50)).



Features:
- Categories system for Albums (like Forums for threads)
- Five (5) levels of subcategories allowed
- Album, picture and comment search
- Who browsing Gallery (= Gallery Home, Albums, Pictures)
- Gallery statistics
- Forum attachments gallery (with ability to act it as category)
- Pages: latest pictures - latest albums - latest comments (with feature to turn them to "All")
- "My Comments" feature (display all user comments)
- My Pictures/Albums in "this" category
- Ability to set custom statusicons to categories
- Notifications to users with "uncategorized" albums to move them
- Ability to hide empty categories (= with 0 albums)
- Admincp environment
- No annoying copyright info

Language Packs:
- Deutsch (Sie) - Deutsch (Du) (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2341166&postcount=47)


Installation:
1. Upload all files of folder "upload" to your forum root.
2. Import *xml product.
3. (Important) Open template album_edit and find:
<fieldset class="blockrow">add below:

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['sc_gallery_onoff']">
{vb:raw formdata.catid}
</vb:if>
Done!

Upgrade:
1. FIRST OF ALL: Upload and replace all files of folder "upload" to your forum root.
2. THEN: Import XML product with "Allow Overwrite" to YES.

Who can view vBGallery;
Access to vBGallery has all members who belongs to usergroups with "Can View Albums" to YES.

What if I decide to turn off or uninstall vBGallery;
You are back to Albums without data lose (except the category of each Album - function of this hack).

How could I change the size of Gallery's thumbnails?
vBGallery use the thumbnail size you have set via admincp. To change it go to:
Admincp > Options > Message Attachment Options
... and set your value to "Thumbnail Size"
... afterwards you must rebuild attachment thumbnails at: Maintenance > General Update Tools > Rebuild Attachment Thumbnails

Wowwwwww!!! Very Thanks.... I'll test.

Takes too much space. There is the possibility of putting three albums per line?

No, it uses the css and logic of Forumdisplay. Maybe 'll change it to next versions. ;)
You can increase or dicrease the number of Albums per page in Gallery Display.

[Manoel J?nior]

Suggestions for the next release:

- Inclusion of links on Navbar or navtab
- Able to add more than one album in the grid row
- Users can suggest categories and these go for moderation

Congratulations modification, is excellent!

[temsamane]

before i download this mod, i have a question..

is it possible to show automatically the attachment pictures (on forum topics) in this gallery?

[Regs]

This looks nice!

Any chance of the developer producing a Photopost vBGallery to vBalbums importer?

Cheers,

Regs.

A Photopost Pro importer would be awesome.

Feature suggestions:
- Grid layout for album overviews.

Hi:

I like this mod better than the previous, but still lack a few, such as automatically slide photo, arrows for next photo and previous photo, plus thumbnails and have it hide or unhide. Able to display picture info or hide it.

If this is going to be next release, it is a perfect.

Installed, voted, and nominate.

Thanks for your comments! Surely will add more functions to next releases (I need your ideas for this ;) ). If anyone who install v1.0 beta has detect any problem, please post it. ;)

Unfortunately my site works with vBulletin 3.8.7, so I can't provide a live demo currently.
I develope my hacks to localhost sites (on my PC). Maybe someone here could post a link to him site with installed Scandal's vBGallery. :)

[Preech]

Appreciate the response Scandal.

[BaanFarsang]

I like your MOD, but I need the tools for setting of usergroup permission view.

Thanks.

[Halfhidden]

This is going to be one of the most important mods ever released on Vbulletin. This is what the community has been asking Vbulletin to do since time began. I know that if you develop it and add cool features, keep it up to date and sell a full feature suite many will buy that too.
I have several Photopost installs, and like many others have given up on the terrible support Photopost give.
Tagged and watching... Nominated too!!

[Skyrider]

Does this mod allows images only to be added from a specific group and or account? Rather than showing everyone's images.

[Leica.Robbiani]

Hi there,

gallery.php gives back a blank page on vb4.0.6.

[Athena1984]

This is a great modification! Some ideas for future releases, I would like to see the categories displayed as a side menu as opposed to the forum like display kind of like a widget. I would also like to see the ability to create more subcategories. I also think the album display should be easier to edit. I don't like how close the image is to the wording and it's taking me some time to figure out how to change this. Other than that, I think this looks really promising and I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[jo8jo]

Works fine on my vB 4.2 PL1.
Some ideas for future releases:
- configuration for album thumbnail size (e.g. via ACP)
- easier edit of albumdisplay
- show picture comments & infos below the picture

Anyway this looks really promising :)

[midwan]

Looks really good so far, we've installed it and are really happy with the way it integrates with VB 4.2.0.

Some sort of moderation on new uploads would be nice to see in a next version!

[victorvu]

Hi:

I installed it and set up a few catagories and it went smoothly. When creating albums, it did not let me choose a catgory. I have about 20 catagories created, but only see one with one sub-catagory, a short list. The rest is not there.

Can you tell me what happened?

A short note: Is it possible to have a Golld version cheap, so everyone can buy one for your good work?

Thanks.

gallery.php gives back a blank page on vb4.0.6.


Blank page on 4.1.12 too. :(

[Alfa1]

Does your addon provide for albums that are already existent? For example my board has hundreds of existing albums. How do these get into the gallery?
Maybe show the gallery owners a notification that they need to update their albums?

Another issue is that many albums have no thumb, making the album gallery empty.

Does your addon provide a function to browse all pictures in a category, without having to open up member albums?

Please consider to add some enhancements to image viewing and album browsing. vbulletin looks really outdated and lacks simple functionality. Its miles behind facebook, G+, flickr and even xenforo. I think a nice jquery image viewer with comments on the side (http://www.zdnet.com/blog/facebook/facebook-testing-photo-viewers-ripped-from-google-/8558) would make a world of difference.

Are you sure that there is an album in your database with ID 613?
1. Try to open the following page (replace "xxx" with your site domain):
http://www.xxx/forum/album.php?u=2835&albumid=613
Do you receive database error or any other message?
2. Go to admincp > Maintenance > Execute SQL Query
... and run the query:
SELECT *
FROM album
WHERE albumid=613
... and tell me the returning results.

I believe that there isn't an album with id 613 to your database (the guest who view this database error was a google bot). I send you on PM a plugin change, so you'll never receive this db error again.

1. All the already existent Albums when you install vBGallery, goes to the category "Uncategorized". I want to notice that vBGallery displays only the non empty (=0 pictures) and non private Albums to registered users (admins can see private albums).
So, after a new installation of this hack, you should move the existent Albums to the categories you like 1-1.
Finally on admincp there is the tool List Albums (I will improve it to next releases).

2. Cool idea! I'll keep it in mind, I'll try to add notification system for this reason.

3. I think that albums with no thumb are the empty albums. vBGallery doen't display empty Albums. When an empty Album gets a picture, vBGallery shows it. If you have non empty Albums with no thumbnails, maybe you should run the script "Maintenance > General Update Tools > Rebuild Attachment Thumbnails".

4. hmm no :o I think it is very easy to build a function page for this, so stay tuned for the next release!

5. It is not on my priorities to change the layout of picture viewer but I'll think about it.

Hi there,

gallery.php gives back a blank page on vb4.0.6.

Best regards

L.R.

Blank page on 4.1.12 too. :(
Are you sure that you have complete the upload of gallery.php to your server?
Try to re-upload it and tell us the result. ;)

[Leica.Robbiani]

Hi there,

Are you sure that you have complete the upload of gallery.php to your server?
Yes I am.

Try to re-upload it and tell us the result. ;)
I've downloaded the latest version and did an upgrade. Same result, a blank page. My vB is just Forum, not Suite. Maybe this will be a problem, some other mods (not yours) are also not working correctly with vbf.

On my localhost with vbs4.2.0 the gallery is working. But after installing there I see in the stats:

Albums: 1 Pictures: 1 Comments: 1 Disk Space: 1 Bytes

This is not correct, I have no album and no picture.

Best regards

1. I install vBGallery v1.2 to a fresh vB4.2.0 Forum (not Suite) in a localhost and works fine except of the statistics (see below). Can you send me via PM a list of the hacks you are using on your forum? Also, can you detect any difference between your normal site and your localhost site?*
- Finally, try the following: go to vBGallery Options (admincp) and try to turn off Statistics and Active Users, then try to open the gallery page. Does it open?

2. I detect the problem with the stats. The problem was that if the script recognize "0" disk space, returns '' (null) and stops before build the stats. This happening only in sites with 0 disk space (=not one uploaded picture).
If you want to fix the stats problem on your localhost:
- upload at least one "test" picture
- go to admincp > Scheduled Tasks > Scheduled Task Manager
... and run the task "vBGallery by Scandal - build stats"
vBGallery v1.5 will fix this problem.

*I try to detect the problem with the blank page. :erm:

[Alfa1]

1. All the already existent Albums when you install vBGallery, goes to the category "Uncategorized". I want to notice that vBGallery displays only the non empty (=0 pictures) and non private Albums to registered users (admins can see private albums).
So, after a new installation of this hack, you should move the existent Albums to the categories you like 1-1.
For big boards it would be very unhandy to change each album 1 by 1. Especially if there is only 1 admin, like on my sites.

Finally on admincp there is the tool List Albums (I will improve it to next releases).
Great.

If you have non empty Albums with no thumbnails, maybe you should run the script "Maintenance > General Update Tools > Rebuild Attachment Thumbnails".
Unfortunately that does not resolve it.

5. It is not on my priorities to change the layout of picture viewer but I'll think about it.
I'm currently using Photopost Pro alongside vb albums. The main benefit of PP is some basic functionality that vbalbums do not yet have. I would love to have only 1 gallery solution.

Please consider to add an importer for images, & albums from photopost and photoplog. Photoplog has been abandoned. Many people use photopost pro. You could make the importer a pro feature.

Will there be a vb3 version?

[Leica.Robbiani]

Hi scandal,

can you detect any difference between your normal site and your localhost site?*
Thanks a lot for your hints, but nothing did work on my localhost. The "build stats" script stucks.

Just please give me a little time to install it on my test directory on my server. My localhost is a Windoze system, my server runs with Linux. Maybe there will be a difference, this wouldn't be the first time.

Normally first I install mods on my localhost, when they work there I install them in my test directory on the server, only if they work there I install them on the production site.

Please don't get upset.

Best regards

L.R.

[sandboa]

Would love to see permission ability

[Scandal]

Would love to see permission ability
hmm it is not in my priorities something like that, 'cause vBulletin Albums has their own permissions system but 'll see.

Coming soon: vB3 version of this hack!

[Leica.Robbiani]

Hi there,

I did the German translation - Deutsch (Sie) - for Scandal's gallery. If you like to use it, just download the xml-file. To install the language file:

Go to your admincp -> Languages & Phrases -> Download / Upload Languages
Find the downloaded file on your computer
Select the language
Make sure you select "Yes" on "Ignore Language Version "
Click "Import"
Click "Done".
The file - Deutsch (Du) - follows in a few days.

Install instructions in german language:

Gehe in's admincp -> Sprachen & Phrasen -> Sprachen herunterladen/ hochladen
Finde die heruntergeladene Datei auf Deinem Computer
W?hle die Sprache
Stelle sicher, dass "Ja" bei "Sprachversion ignorieren" ausgew?hlt ist.
Klicke auf "Importieren".
Klicke auf Erledigt"
Well done - gut gemacht.

Edit (21.06.2012):
File - Deutsch (Sie) updated
File - Deutsch (Du) added

Hi Scandal,

Thanks a lot for this updated version, I'll try it and update the translation. In the current translation there are also some forgotten phrases, sorry.

As usual, great work and professional support

Is there any feature to show the latest comments in the main page (i.e in sidebar)?
+ Can we have a live demo or if anybody install it and can put his website link?

Thanks dear

Any option to enable age locking so people under/above a certain age can't view the category? there's already a plugin for this, but only for forums, not for your plugin.

[CharlieDelta]

Hi Scandal.
I really like your product and think it would fit my needs very well, especially the ability to add categories to albums.
The only thing that would be missing for me is a lot of my members add pictures to their posts as attachments. Would there be a way of incorporating this into your great mod?

I updated my posting with the language file(s). Please follow the link in the product description above.

This would be another nice feature, but there exists a mod "attachment gallery". Maybe this one's a solution?

But another great feature would be boxes with latest and random pics on gallery.php.

[Scandal]

I'm open to new ideas for Scandal's vBGallery.

Thank you very much for your support with new ideas, language packs and bug reports. :up:

[flussmitteldj]

Can I convert the "Photoplog Pro - Pictures" in the [Scandal's] vBGallery?

[CharlieDelta]

This would be another nice feature, but there exists a mod "attachment gallery". Maybe this one's a solution?

I am using the attachment gallery already but would rather one mod do everything and I like Scandal's mod a lot. The attachment gallery does not have the options Scandal's does.

If you could somehow incorporate this Scandal, I would make the switch in a heart beat. :D :up:

There are duplicated of categories when edit albums for moving to desired categories!

I have a different style ia7, here's a link: http://www.frontrange4x4.com/forums/gallery.php

I just installed it so almost everything is still Uncategorized until my members change them.

Obviously I need to change the thumbnail sizes but I'm having a bit of trouble with that which isn't related to this mod.

Check your template edit, looks like you pasted the code twice.

Hi Scandal, I don't like my gallery display as show below. I suspect I need to resize my thumbnails which are at 175px but worry that it may change things elsewhere. Maybe just change it so alignment isn't off? It's the only thing that I'm not thrilled with outside of some needed navigation tweaks that I can handle.

Any help would be appreciated!

TIA!

Try to change the admincp option (http://www.e-student.gr/my/vbgallery/vb4/admincp%20options.png) "Gallery Display Layout: width of albumbits?". ;)

As regards your Uncategorized Albums, every Sunday members receive notification with their Albums to "Uncategorized" and urged to move to a subject category. This function is very useful for big Galleries when the admin cannot organize alone the Gallery by moving all albums to subject categories. (there is an on/off button for notifications to admincp options).

Thank you very much for pasting link to your site's Gallery! It looks great!

[Front Range 4x4]

Thanks Scandal, that did it! I should remember to look for an easy answer instead of over thinking it. :o

The members notification about the Uncategorized category is a real + too. I'm 100% happy with it now. 5 stars & nominated!

@scandal, can i importet the Photoplog Pro Pictures?

[conradk]

Thanks for this. The "home" gallery page was a little boring for me - so I made the default to, "?do=latestpictures"

[Scandal]

v2.0 available!
- New feature: forum pictures attachment gallery (with ability to act it as gallery category (http://www.e-student.gr/my/vbgallery/vb4/attachgallery.png) + forum filtre (http://www.e-student.gr/my/vbgallery/vb4/attachgallerymenus.png)). Admin can turn off attachments gallery if he want.
- search feature for attachment gallery
- 2 phrase issues fixed
- 1 bug fixed


But another great feature would be boxes with latest and random pics on gallery.php.

Yeah, I'll try this. But notice, the sidebar must be enabled. There are people out there who don't like it, for whatever reason. Maybe it will be an idea to create an own sidebar block, with further information about the pics (just if you want to do this).

Nice Scandal! Lightbox is so much better! Thank you!

I guess someone has to say it so I will, wouldn't it be more consistent if lightbox was used in all the categories instead of just the attachment gallery?

Your support is top of the line! :up:

I agree and don't use the sidebar but think everyone should use this mod to put albums pics on FORUMHOME. - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228618 There's a very long thread there and someone may already have done the sidebar block but I haven't checked.

I noticed that I cannot translate these phrases in 2.1:

[speedracer68]

Is there a way to set this so only I can use it? At the moment I just need a gallery where I put event pictures. I don't want everyone to use it or for it to show everyone's attachments.

[Leica.Robbiani]

Hi there,

I noticed that I cannot translate these phrases in 2.1:
some of these phrases are hard coded in the templates. You can translate them there or create your own phrases in the phrase manager. The phrases of the lightbox are maybe in the javascript code of the lightbox itself, I dont' know. I look tomorrow for this.

Best regards

It looks like I has mistakenly installed the wrong mod. I just need a gallery that admins and mods can create photo galleries of events. I don't need a gallery for regular members to use.

Wow Hippy, thank you very much :o

At any rate [Scandal's] vBGallery uses vBAlbums and Forum Attachments (= default vBulletin's features) and this is one of its benefits. I'll try to keep [Scandal's] vBGallery up to date with new features and compatible with next version of vBulletin.

Maybe develope importers (Photopost/Photolog to Scandal's vBGallery and vB Albums), but currently I can't promise something.

[trackpads]

That was during an upload, but like I said, I have a dedicated server so it was no trouble to install imagemagick.

Thanks again,

the one thing you should consider is that this isn't a 'pure gallery' solution because it uses VBs built in gallery functions as its basis. I doubt VB will ever create an importer, I don't think they have created importers for any galleries as of yet.

There are also things a pure gallery will give you that this wont, for example mass imports, advanced user functions, format controls such as end user displays etc.

Now to be sure this is a good mod and its premise is sound. What Scandal has done is to create and package all the things VB should have done to VB's gallery functions. You will still have VBs limits, regardless of the packaging however.

I own licenses for Photopost and PP Vbgallery and use them both. In my setup I think the best solution is to install Scandals Vb Gallery mod in addition to a PP Gallery. Here is my personal rational:

1. Vb mobile apps and the VB itself use the built in gallery and replacing it is just not an option with other packages. None offer any deep integration that would do it. Example: Social Group galleries etc. Also, the only image functions on the mobile apps is currently the built in VB gallery function. So you need VBs galleries adn the ebst way to do that is with this mod, Scandals work.

2. My PP and PP VbGallery are for the big galleries on my site that users usually dont upload images into. I am reworking my entire site and galleries but together there are more than 1,000,000 images that will be re-included. There is no way to sanely get that amount of photos or images into VBs built in gallery function.

3. Pure galleries will offer you more ways to display your images. For example I have thousands of 5000px or larger photos and to include them in VB, if it was possible, would mean I would need to change those file limits for the board, not just the gallery.

4. On large, and I mean large, galleries PP is more efficient. It was built for photos and nothing else. So there will always be a larger set of options for gallery owners.

I think there is a place for both in a final forum setup. Scandals gallery is definitely a must have for any VB owner. Like I said, it fixes VB and does a better job of using built in vb gallery functions than VB has ever done. Personally I think they should just hire Scandal and let him work on it from here on out :)

So my site will have a 'Members Gallery' which consists of Scandals mod, a 'Photo Gallery' based on PP Vbgallery to show off the sites larger and more numerous images and finally a separate PP gallery for the purchasing and downloading of larger HQ photos.

Scandal has done a lot of work and I am personally grateful there are programmers like him that do excellent mods like this one. Otherwise awe would all have VB clones with little personalization :)

Thanks again Scandal,

-Jason

[Hippy]

Your 100% correct..
I've had a PP licenses since 2001 / 2002 give or take a month
Scandal should go over there and recode PP
and integrate it to vb
I'm so tired of the robot answers there.
and recoding it to work correctly without errors filling up my logs
anyway
not the place or time..

[BlogTwits]

This is a superb mod! I installed it yesterday and it works a treat, maybe with one exception, or maybe it is just me :)

When I create an album, it automatically goes to the default "uncategorized" category. There is no option to choose a category. In admin CP, I can see the albums, but when I click on an album to edit, there is still no option to change the category.

I'm sure I've probably just missed a simple tweak. Any ideas please?

Would it be possible to add permissions allowing us admins to specify which usergroups can add to album? - i.e. people can make their own, as normal but admins can create a album of an event (for exampel) and everyone who went to that event can upload their images to that album..

I think this cannot be part of this mod, because the functions of the albums are vb specific and uses the vB original settings.

I think this is not a problem of this mod, it's a problem of your album settings in the vB settings.

btw, why are your images more than 1 MB filesize ??? You can have really large images around 200 kB by good quality using jpg-compression.

The solution was:

Open gallery.php and find:
require_once('./global.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_sc_gallery.php');
add below:
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bootstrap_framework.php');
require_once(DIR . '/vb/types.php');

//Init the vb framework
vB_Bootstrap_Framework::init();
But this should be fixed in the latest version.

Yeah, that's already there. Unfortunately, I guess it's a custom style issue for me.

[lazytown]

This is a fantastic mod! I have one problem and one suggestion.

Major Problem: With a lot of attachments, the page load time and cpu/mysql usage, even for a single viewer, is way too long. This will destroy my server with lots of users if I make it live. It's obviously doing some serious mysql table scans of some kind. I have over 32,000 attachment images on this forum, which isn't THAT many. When I turn off attachments as a gallery, the page loads almost instant (6000+ pictures in member albums is no problem for it). It is MUCH slower on the gallery home page than it is on the individual attachment pages, even on the attachment pages with lots of pages are faster (going page by page -- they're slow, but not nearly as slow as the main page).

So What can be done to speed the query up? Are there some columns/tables I can index that are being scanned? Is there something in the code that can be changed? Perhaps at least for the homepage, it should cache every so often instead of scanning each time or the query can be limited to the past XX days. The gallery stats could at least be cached every hour/day since no pictures are displayed on the gallery home, it shouldn't take so long. In fact I could do without the stats if that helped, but it didn't (tried turning them off).

Feature Request: Obviously the software already is smart enough to show members attachments per forum section with the filter option.. What I'd really love to see is on the category pages (main gallery page), the option to have each forum section listed as a subsection of 'attachments.'' So it would look almost like the main forum page, but only be pictures. This is possible since you already created a filter, but it's not implemented. This would really be great and if we could limit it to only show certain forum sections it would be so amazing!! (for example, if I have a car forum, people could click on the corvette or porche subforum for only those attachment pictures... And the help/off-topic forums with attachments would not be shown at all).

Thank you!

[lazytown]

There's a bug in the 'latest pictures' code.. When you change the number in the adminCP, it still shows 2 pages no matter how large or how many pictures.

Very cool mod, testing it now.

I'm trying to figure out the permissions functionality of this mod and the default galleries. When setting up the albums it shows that private albums are viewable by "contacts" and moderators. What is a contact? Is that synonymous with friends in the user profile?

I have a need for private albums for users that aren't viewable by others. That can be managed by the user themselves if the friends/contacts are the controlling item. Other than album access, what is the functionality of the friends/contacts?

Thank you for this mod.

I have a question about headers, categories and sub-categories. If I create headers for Texas and New Mexico, then categories for Landscapes and Architecture in both of them, the selection list in the edit album function is nonsensical. It only displays the categories, not the header they fall under so I don't really know which one I am selecting.

I know I can use categories and then have sub-categories under them, but I don't have a way to keep users from selecting the category itself instead of the correct sub-category. Using the forum analogy, would it be possible to specify the category is "closed" so no albums can be added to it like we can specify a forum is closed in vB? Or maybe there is a different solution I'm not seeing?

[bigrover]

How about an option to disable the display of empty sub-categories? The option adjusting the display of empty categories does not seem to affect sub-categories on my system.

Thanks

[bigrover]

The breadcrumbs at the top of the page do not display the path to the category currently being looked at. Assume I have categories for Texas and New Mexico, then sub-categories for Landscapes and Architecture in both of them. When I am in the Texas category the breadcrumb trail shows Gallery > Texas, but if I am in the Landscapes sub-category the breadcrumb trail shows Gallery > Landscapes, rather than Gallery > Texas > Landscapes as expected. I also note the header is not included in the breadcrumbs so having multiple headers would also be missed in the breadcrumbs. Can this be fixed?

I must say I really like this mod. Thank you for creating it for us.

[pokusek]

Is there a way to put latest comments to the vB sidebar?

[pokusek]

And also putting a record in the latest activity stream would be useful.

[pokusek]

If this mod would generate a RSS feed for latest images it would be great. Implement this feature, pretty please.

[Chadi]

Something is odd.

It is showing the home page side bar, on the gallery page below the grid of albums/pictures.

[fxdigi-cash]

does this mod work fine on vb4.2??I believe I installed it and had some issue with the ckeditor!! is that problem there till now??

[Chadi]

Anyone know what may cause some pictures to have missing thumbnails?

If I click the link, it'll show the actual picture otherwise but when viewing in gallery, half the pictures are missing their thumbnails.

I'm using filesystem storage

Try to rebuild the thumbnails on admincp > Maintenance > Update counters > Rebuild Attachment Thumbnails :up:

Very nicely done. It appears that there is a problem with the galleryhome template and the sidebar. No big deal. I just disabled the sidebar which displays at the bottom

The attachments gallery is nice, but we have been creating categories/albums in the attachment manager to help managing lots of images. Many of my users have thousands of images in attachment manager. We intend never to restrict that.

I was able to modify Cellariius' Photo Popup to treat the attachment categories as albums but I would really like to be able to manage the attachment categories inside this vB Gallery also.

I like the lightweight system with essentially just a catalog in the gallery and all the assets staying where they are. However I have about 3,000 pictures in more than 25 categories with a lot still uncategorized. It would be nice to have a better tool than attachment manager.

When I installed this on my test site, everything worked just fine. Wehn I moved it to the live site, the Forum Sidebar fell off the screen and went below. I wonder if your gallery template may not be using some critical stylevars?

The other small concern I have is a very long load time and overhead for the first load ot the gallery home.

I believe we are going to really love this mod and I will be happy to do whatever I can to help with improvements.

[tommythejoat]

I copied the FORUMHOME template from my master style to GALLERYHOME for everything down to the body tag (except for the title). That fixed the problem with the sidebar. It now works just fine.

I have not tried to figure out exactly where the culprit was. I tried several smaller edits first without success.

[tommythejoat]

Our users are interested in having pdf files in the gallery. I edited the uploads and added pdf to all the image type lists and that seemed to work just fine.

I wonder if the image type list could be an option in AdminCP Settings? That would be better than editing the code.

[GoneBushX]

Sweet! THX

[Haponing]

When I import the the .xml file using FileZilla it says No file uploaded and no local file found. I should import the cpnav_sc_gallery.xml right?

[tommythejoat]

:confused: On my download it is called product-sc_gallery.xml. It is not uploaded with filezilla or any other ftp program, it is imported using admincp>plugins & products>manage products>add/import product. You do need to use your ftp program to upload the upload directory contents first.

Agreed, I have the same issue with 4.2.1. If there's a fix for it please post it up. In the meantime I'll just disable the sidebar.

[tommythejoat]

I am also running 4.2.1. I described a fix for the problem in this post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2438225&postcount=147. You may consider it too reckless to try, but it worked for me.:)

[TundraSoul]

I found another small problem in the lightbox.js file. Inside the file I found two incorrect image paths.

Specifically the paths in question are:

/images/loading.png
/images/close.png

and both produce a couple of broken images whenever the lightbox is used.

[Haponing]

Our IT person successfully installed this mod. But when I go to the Admin CPanel and under vBGallery by Scandal Manage Categories, it says Error 404 - Not Found. Same with Add Category and List Albums.

I wanted to add another category. For now it's default to Uncategorized only. Please help

[Haponing]

Nevermind. he got it. Thanks!

[TundraSoul]

Anyone get the "Number of latest pictures" to display more than the default of 25? No matter what I set it to, it never displays more than 25.

[Haponing]

Is there any way to display the part of the Gallery in the forum homepage? Like the first forum category is a display of latest photos.

[Haponing]

Please HELP. I don't see any "Choose a Category" option in the vbGallery. http://www.roadtrucker.com/forum/album.php?do=editalbum&albumid=10

[Haponing]

I got it! :) lol. thanks.

[Haponing]

Is there any way to put the preview or the latest pictures in the Forum Blocks Manager and put it at the very top of the forums?? PLEASE HELP

[cicudaf]

Hi,

I have an error after install this plugin:
Warning: Missing argument 2 for vB_Template_Runtime::linkBuild(), called in [path]/includes/class_core.php(4090) : eval()'d code on line 201 and defined in [path]/includes/class_core.php on line 4495

Anyone can help?

Thanks.

[Haponing]

Just a follow up. How can I display the albums at the top of the the forums? I think this can draw attention from other members if they see the latest pictures. Please?

[madness85]

Hmm would be perfect if it said number of comments on each image. Anyone know I could do this?

[madness85]

GIFS not moving :( gutted defo need this

My bad, gif attachment size permissions was set too small. All is fine now. :)

See attached. Almost all images are not loading in the gallery:
http://www.talkjesus.com/gallery.php

Image processing library is set to GD. GD module is installed on my server.

Attachments are currently being stored in the filesystem at /home/user/public_html/images/attachments

"attachments" directory has 777 recursively as well.

Here's the thing, if I click the picture title link in any of those blank thumbnail boxes the pictures do show.

Running
vBulletin 4.2.0 PL4
PHP 5.4.27

Hi,
I think will be really useful the opportunity to add a link to follow, when you click on an image, that by default, open the larger image, but if you want you will have the opportunity to redirect that click in another part.

Also the opportunity to decide if you need to add or not a little comment immediately down the thumbnail like a link or a little description will be great.

Will be also great if will be possible to manage in different ways all the category.
The settings that there are now, affect all categories...

So if I want to point two buttons that link 2 different galleries sections, now I always see in the same way, so will be good to personalize each visualization of the gallery.

For example
in one page/section I want show some premium photo in one way (for example 10 each page)
and in another I want show some others photo but in a different way (for example 50 each page)

I think it will be really a great mod if you add this features. ;)

[Fongool]

I downloaded this and I'm trying to install it on (VBulletin 4.2.0 Patch Level 3).
I uploaded it to the root folder and when I go to import the .xml file, it tells me "invalid file"...I tried it both ways...uploading it from my pc and importing it from the root folder...neither will work...I edited the "album_edit" template also...But it will not import the .xml file...Any help would be greatly appreciated..I also tried it with "allow overwrite" and without "allow overwrite"...
This is the file I'm trying to import... "cpnav_sc_gallery.xml"
Thanks

[Fongool]

I got it installed and it looks great!...Maybe for any future updates, you can think about adding a watermark maker so users can add a watermark to their pictures to prevent theft...That would be a great feature...
Thank you again

I really like this product, but we have one problem with it.

When it is opened by a user from the NavBar, it takes so long to show that many users think something is broken. I suspect the problem is the size of our attachments since they are displayed as an album in the gallery.

Does anyone have ideas on how to spped up the launch by loading enough images to work with and then continue buffering in the background?

Of course that may not be the problem. I have not done anything to analyze the behavior.

It takes nearly 30 seconds to open the application. We have 210,000+ attachments in the Attachments Gallery.

[xorlof]

Just testing this. It looks promising, but I just get a blank white page if I attempt to load the gallery from a mobile style. Is that normal? If so, has anybody out there developed mobile templates for this to fix that?

[WEBDosser]

[bosanci28]

Pictures Watermark? also can a photo album strip be added under header on main page? Hope that works for v4.2.2

[markoroots]

Why is impossible to see all the images loaded but only very few under "Latest Images".
The tab to set how images must stay there is not working.
I set 10.000 and are shown only few images, but there are many more.

[markoroots]

no one??

[tommythejoat]

I am not sure what youo want. "Latest" has a count associated with it. Why would you want to display all images there? Did you create categories to hold images? Are your attachments displayed in the Gallery?

I never use the latest images feature but I just checked it and on my board it showed the most recent 100 pictures.

I then edited the entry in AdminCP under vBGallery by Scandal to 200 and now it shows 200. I am concerned that if I set it to 10,000 it will take an hour or two to load. :)
