Thats actually really nice. It would do the job; the only difference is I'd prefer for it to be on the bar where edit/reply etc etc is. That way the person browsing can see wether or not the user they are viewing a post from has a gallery or not without hitting the drop down.Like this? See this thread (http://shipmodeling.net/vb_forum/showthread.php?t=580) again.
Here's how:
In the User Profile Field Manager:
Create a New User Profile field - Profile Field Type - Multiple-Selection Checkbox
With these attributes:
1 - Title - Show Link to Photo Gallery
2 - Description - Checking this box will show a link to your Photo Gallery in postview.
3 - Limit Selection - 2
4 - Boxes Per Line - 1
5 - Options (Enter the options that the user can choose from. Separate each option with a new-line (carriage return):
Check Box for Yes
Uncheck for No
6 - Display Order - Your option
7 - Field Required - No
8 - Field Editable by User - Yes
9 - Private Field - No
10 - Field Searchable on Members List - No
11 - Show on Members List - Your Option (I have No. Takes up too much space.
And you'll have to edit the memberlist template to add it anyway)
12 - Display Page - Which page displays this option? - Options:Other
Save and make note of the field number. Replace x below with this new field number.
User can select the Yes/No option in their UserCP under 'Edit Options'
And you, as Admin, can check it off in a members Profile in the 'Users' control panel.
If the Box is Checked, then the if conditional $post['fieldx'] is true, and the link is displayed.
Edit the postbit template (backup,backup,backup!!):
Find -
<if condition="$post['editlink']">
<a href="$post[editlink]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/edit.gif" alt="$vbphrase[edit_delete_message]" border="0" /></a>
</if>Add Above (x being the number of the field you created above. target="_blank" your choice. Edit the name of your photopost directory.) -
<if condition="$post['fieldx']">
<a target="_blank" href="/directory_name_of_your_photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=$userinfo[userid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/gallery.gif" alt="View this Members' Photo Gallery" border="0" /></a>
</if>Photopost has a button in it's image folder called - gallery.gif -
Just copy it into the images/buttons/ folder of your forum, or make your own.

PS; This is not automatically made true when a user uploads photos. If a user has photos in the gallery, or has just uploaded photos, either they or you will have to - "Check Box for Yes"
