[DBTech] Dragonbyte Gallery v1 (vB4)

[DragonByte Tech]

1. Is it also possible to customize the plugin to make SEO friendly?
2. Does dbseo also has gallery settings to rewrite the URLs?This mod does integrate with DragonByte SEO :)

Hi All

I've written an importer to load Gallery2 structure and images into Dragonbyte Gallery. Is this of interest to anyone? I'll be loading our site up in a couple of weeks as part of our 3.8.2 to 4.2.3 upgrade. If there's some interest I'll write a couple of pages of explanation while it's fresh in my mind and publish it all here.

Thank you Dragonbyte, I install it :)

One More thing , animated pictures are not animated after upload to the gallery.Could you check whether you have allowed animated gifs in your gallery permissions / settings?

Now its ok, that was my mistake ,Thanks for your time :)

I'm really tempted to download this and test it out. I currently use photopost vbgallery, and since they jumped ship I'm looking for a good user photo gallery. Any chance this will work. I check your website and didn't see any gallery products listed for 3.8x . Thanks!

[RPSmedia]

I've installed this but can't get it to show where users can upload pictures?

I've installed this but can't get it to show where users can upload pictures?Have you checked your global vBulletin permissions as well as per-gallery instance permissions?


Fillip

[RPSmedia]

Thanks for the reply.

1. Where do you mean the global permissions? In options?

2. I created one gallery and set all of those I wanted permission to but I still don't see the upload box. When I check the usergroups permissions it only asks me if I want to make that usergroup admin.

Fillip

[RPSmedia]

I did, still nothing is showing up.

[RPSmedia]

I'd really like to get this working. I purchased the classifieds from you and will do the same if it can be.

[DragonByte Tech]

If you PM me with FTP and AdminCP information I can look into this @ Monday :)

Hi Fillip - haven't tried (yet!) can the importer for this import from Photopost Pro if it's running off a separate database and directory on the server? With PP now dead, looking to move a site over to this instead...

[DragonByte Tech]

Hi Fillip - haven't tried (yet!) can the importer for this import from Photopost Pro if it's running off a separate database and directory on the server? With PP now dead, looking to move a site over to this instead...Unfortunately not, it must be installed on the current database and the files must be accessible in order for this mod to import it, sorry :(


Fillip

[Trevor Hannant]

No problem, thanks Fillip.

Might be worth a look as I'm sure there's a number of PP Pro users who'd like a fairly easy way to jump that ship.

[DragonByte Tech]

That usually means permissions were not set correctly, can you double-check this for me please?

Fillip

[Dragonsys]

Fillip

Which permissions? If file permissions, what should they be? There is not mention of file permissions in the instructions.

If VB permissions, I'm Admin and have all of the permissions set properly on the Usergroup

[MikeGF]

I'm getting the exact same code errors as Dragonsys. What permissions do we need to set Fillip?

[KevinL]

When trying to upload images to the gallery, I get the below, and the image is not uploaded.

Try editing the gallery instance and set the max width/height of the thumbs/images

[Dragonsys]

Try editing the gallery instance and set the max width/height of the thumbs/images

That did it. Thank you

Sorry mate but where is that? I edit the plugin general/home/image options but cannot see any resize options between them.

You have to edit the Instance settings. ACP -> DBTech - Gallery -> Instance Management

[MikeGF]

Nah, don't have the DBTech - Gallery option. No instance Management option either :(

[RichieBoy67]

Can I try the light version to import my Photopost gallery? I do not want to get the pro version and then find out the import will not work.

##I have installed and I see the importer and I also see my installation of PP but when I run the importer is says it cannot find the files.. Where do I add a path for the PP image files?

Thanks

FillipLooks like it is running but I do not see anything.. I have maybe around 1200 images in the one category I am importing. Been running for a couple minutes. It keeps refreshing but not showing anything.

[RichieBoy67]

##Wait a second on that.. I forgot I renamed my gallery file. I am going to try again. Thanks

Still doing the same thing but I will let it run and see what happens.

[DragonByte Tech]

That means missing phrases, did you import the new XML file?

Fillip

[RichieBoy67]

Yes I did import the xml and I also uploaded all the files.

A couple issues

## The import issue is the main file. I changed the name of the file and then added it to the settings but apparently it was still looking for the old default file..

The phrasing still isn't working. I will add these manually if I have time later.

Images do appear to be importing now. :)

[DragonByte Tech]

I've re-generated the XML file, can you re-download and re-import and let me know if that works better for you?

Fillip

[RichieBoy67]

Thanks my friend, I will give it a shot and will let you know.

[RichieBoy67]

No change at all Fillip.

[RichieBoy67]

I am still having the same issues.. Thanks

[DragonByte Tech]

I am still having the same issues.. ThanksAre you sure you re-downloaded the .zip file and re-uploaded the XML file with overwrite on, and not just modified the files?

No files were changed in this patch.


Fillip

[RichieBoy67]

Absolutely I did.

The only thing I can think of is Cloudflare is blocking it or some part of it though it shows the template being merged, etc.. I will try it tomorrow morning without cloudflare and see if that helps.

Thanks

[RichieBoy67]

Turns out it must have been cloudflare.

The only issue now is that it will run through pages and pages importing images but eventually it just stops. I have probably 100,000 images or more that need to be imported.. Any way I can import via command prompt?

There shouldn't be any timeout issues since it only imports a small amount of images at a time. The importer will stop on its own with an error message if it fails to import one or more of the images, but you will have the option to manually proceed to the next page. This is working as intended.

i wonder if it could be related to php version? i am working on a project right now that sounded similar and we are trying to find a way to get it all together...they have an older version of pp pro which was running on php 5.1...which of course vb4 does not like, so i think for a next try we might attempt running a 5.1 docker on gallery, and hopefully the importer will run properly....fingers crossed been on this one for a minute now

[dgparent12]

does this not work with the seo product you have ? All my gallery images just have regular names not nice html names like my pages, thnks

[dgparent12]

What I was hoping is that the url would be SEO friendly since I am also using your SEO plugin

mine look like this

dbtgallery.php?do=view_image&id=2125

not this

gallery/[instance_name]/image/[image_id]-[image_title].html

Like it says in the Gallery URL section of the SEO control panel - so the image title is not showing

Just a caveat for others.... :)

I'd be real careful with this mod.. :rolleyes:

Downloaded [DBTech] DragonByte Gallery v1.3.4 [Lite] from DragonByte site to test on vBulletin 4.1.3pl8

Uploaded files and imported XML...

Hung after updating various styles (hidden for site privacy in pic) and there never was a "finished" message. Note the odd character shown in pic after comment 1.2.3. I've seen this before in some of their other products and it may be a similar issue I reported and was acknowledged here, which is still not fixed... It seems to have the same last couple of characters hanging out there..

Member Map Geolocation
_lat = 0 AND dbtech_membermap_lng = 0"); log_cron_action(vb_number_format($done), $nextitem, 1); ?>

Done


The result was that the install blew up our entire site and the garbage shown in the other pic started appearing before home page display on main web site and within AdminCP ahead of showing installed mods. .... :eek:

Fortunately, running un-install hopefully removed all of the additional tables this thing installed in our database, following which I manually removed all of the uploaded files.

Site seems to be running normally again.... :up:

I've seen this before in their products.This is what will happen if the install is attempted either before the files have been uploaded fully, or files have been uploaded incomplete. What you are seeing is PHP files being parsed as plain text.

If someone reports installation issues, I always offer to install the product for them if they can't get it working themselves. Would you be able to link me to your support ticket @ our site?
I would imagine any reasonable person would ask for support before deciding to post "warnings" about a product that seemingly installs fine for everyone else, so if you could link me to your support ticket I'd be happy to investigate why it wasn't resolved to your satisfaction.

Thanks Fillip... :)

I thought that waiting and sitting for 10 minutes on a 100 megabit bandwidth Internet connection, to our multi processor based dedicated vBulletin host hardware platform, would have been enough time to upload the files. I guess not, but I really want to tempt fate again .. :D

I thought that waiting and sitting for 10 minutes on a 100 megabit bandwidth Internet connection, to our multi processor based dedicated vBulletin host hardware platform, would have been enough time to upload the files.Sure, if time to upload was the only factor in causing such a problem and everyone else had the same problem, I'd agree with you there was a problem with this mod.

That's clearly not the case though, or this thread as well as our support forum would have been filled with reports of the same problem :)

I'm not trying to start an argument with you, I just want to be clear on the fact that your issue appears to be unique to you and your site. As far as I'm aware (I'm not the original developer of this modification, one of our subcontractors is), this is the first time this issue has happened with any of our modifications.

If we factor your one install attempt into the thousands of other installs of this modification, I think it's safe to say the problem is not on our end :)

Frankly, your post came across as very abrasive and that makes it extremely difficult for me to swallow my pride and help you to the best of my abilities. I'm sure if you've ever worked in the service industry you can understand my position.


Fillip

[BadgerDog]

Sorry, I guess it's our fault... understood and noted .. :(

Anyway, would it be possible for members here to get the "new API" fix from last year to your other Member's Map mod, mentioned in my first post?

Thank you ... :up:

DragonByte Gallery v1.3.4:
Fix: Fixed a PHP 7.1 compatibility issue

[mrt12345]

I am using a different template "modern theme" but the Category window is all white and the framing would you have any suggestions for work around ? it dose work with other skins it is just this one seems to be having a problem.

[SilverBoy]

I have a case want to ask if this product can deal with it.
If I created an album by user1, can I give permissions to user2 and user3 to uploda images to that album?

[ohiogecko]

I tried to submit a support ticket on the Dragonbyte website but I keep getting an invalid category ID on the submission.

I currently have photopost 8.3 on VB4.2.3L2 and when the PHP was upgraded on the server the MOD quit working and many pictures are now not showing up. Can DragonByte Gallery import the existing images and and get them working again?

There might be some differences in terms of albums vs categories, but all readable images will be imported.

I downloaded the demo and images are still not displaying. There was no information on importing from photopost. Your support tickets are not working on your website. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

[DragonByte Tech]

I downloaded the demo and images are still not displaying. There was no information on importing from photopost. Your support tickets are not working on your website. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.That depends on the steps you took to import, without this information I have no hope of diagnosing your issue.

Support tickets are working fine @ our site, make sure you're selecting from the drop-down manually and that you are not using any script blocking extensions in your browser.

[IggyP]

The next version will have a profile block where the vB Albums one is. I'll look into adding it to the activity stream.

Dylan

did this never happen? lol....thats a very old post but im getting to look closer again and seeing a few more things i dont like with this...

im willing to hack it in even if anyone will help but this is the features i want to see:

1. profile block with gallery albums(since the vb one is turned off and replaced by this, seems a logical oversight)

2. activity stream updates of album creation and/or image additions(its really not a proper activity stream if its ignoring the entire gallery system)



also btw, not sure anyones mentioned it so just a tip that after pushing hard nearly a year for them to fix the photopost importer, as of its last update it will at least complete but does not import user albums AT ALL or respect private content from photopost :rolleyes:

[DragonByte Tech]

did this never happen?If the features are not in the current version, then probably not.

also btw, not sure anyones mentioned it so just a tip that after pushing hard nearly a year for them to fix the photopost importer, as of its last update it will at least complete but does not import user albums AT ALL or respect private content from photopost :rolleyes:We've received no further feedback on the PP Pro importer, but if enough people submit feedback wanting it to change it's certainly something we can look into :)


Fillip

[IggyP]

fair enough....i know there are some ppl, but im not sure if it would be the big diff of them using your product or not....but then again, by the time they test to find out, they already purchased pro anyway, just sloppy practice but i guess you guys have alot of projects and whatever....

regarding profile block and activity stream tho....cant this be added with a hook? im only smart enough to cause problems lol i dont know how to pull or list the data.....i assume theres going to be the custom data, which could be pulled into a by php to a default sideblock profile widget....i dont know the php code part tho...

....just if case any chance its simple enough to share the code, i honestly do not know

..same with activity stream if anyone will share that would be great for users of this product

[X-or]

A couple of questions :
1. can you convert regular albums from vbulletin
2. is it integrated in the activity stream

[DragonByte Tech]

There are album imports yes, I don't believe it integrates into the activity stream at this time.

Fillip

[X-or]

OK, thank you.

Regular albums are integrated in the activity stream.

[Mellow]

Can you reorder the images within a gallery? What's the default sort order? filename/date/etc?
