Gallery for vBulletin 3.5.X

[wezoo]

i know :)

can you display random images and latest images, in the same way as the featured ?

for example, no border, no name, no info, just an image that links to the thread
:)


ohhh Harald, dunno if you know but on my profile, latest images are actualy thumbnails rather than images ???

[Harald_T]

@Wez: Oh, this is a little bug. Change the code of the template "gallery_memberpictures" to:


<if condition="$gallery[filename]!=$vboptions[gal_feat_name]">
<td align="center">
<table class="tborder" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="thead" height="100" width="120" align="center">
<a HREF="attachment.php?attachmentid=$gallery[attachmentid]">
<img src="attachment.php?attachmentid=$gallery[attachmentid]&stc=1&thumb=1" border=0 align="center"></a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="center" align="center" width="120" height="40">
<br />
<a href="showthread.php?t=$gallery[threadid]">
$gallery[title]
</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</if>


Change the code of the plugin "gallery_memberprofile_images" to:


// #################### Latest Gallery-Additions #######################
// fetch the permissions for each forum
// global $vbulletin;
$gal_member_num_rows = $vbulletin->options['gal_member_num_rows'];

$thumbs = $db->query_read("SELECT gallery, userid, threadid, filename, firstpostid, ". TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.title, attachmentid, ". TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment.dateline FROM ". TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment, ". TABLE_PREFIX . "thread, ". TABLE_PREFIX . "forum
WHERE gallery='1' AND userid=$userinfo[userid]
AND ". TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.forumid=". TABLE_PREFIX . "forum.forumid AND ". TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.firstpostid = ". TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment.postid AND ". TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment.dateline < " . TIME() ."
GROUP BY ".TABLE_PREFIX ."thread.threadid
ORDER BY ". TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment.dateline DESC LIMIT $gal_member_num_rows");

while ($gallery = $db->fetch_array($thumbs))
{
eval('$memberpictures .= "' . fetch_template('gallery_memberpictures') . '";');
}

[wezoo]

Harald, doesnt seem to have done anything ?
check out my homepage, also getting thumbs in the random images

[Harald_T]

O.k., removed the problem.

[wezoo]

Thanks Harald
still there on the home page when i turn on random images...?

ive left them on so you can see

[Bernd]

O.k., removed the problem.

Please do post fixes for other people to see. Thank you.

[Harald_T]

@Bernd: I edited my post. See there for the neccessary changes.

[DucatiJeff]

Wow - I worked for 4 days on this and could not get it to work properly. I think very specific installation instructions are needed. When I went to uninstall the gallery1.23.xml file then decided to reinstall it - I shut down my entire site and received the following warning via Email:

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:

Obviously I felt a sudden rush of panic. I uninstalled the product and my forums returned to normal. I guess I will purchase a product rather than risk all of the work I have put into my forums.

:confused: :cross-eyed: :confused:

[skooby]

When you say

1. First of all, create a category and call it "Gallery" (or anything else, if you like). Please remember the ID of this category, it's needed.

Where exactly do I go to create the new category? Sorry but this is a 68 page thread, so I'm sure the answer is in here somewhere but I couldn't find it.

[cheesegrits]

I've scanned all 67 pages of this thread and read the available documentation, but I still need to ask an obvious question ...

Can Gallery forums be moderated, such that all uploaded images need to be approved before they get displayed? I run an ISP in Alabama, and obviously I need to maintain tight control over the images that get uploaded!

TIA for any answers,

-- hugh

[aky]

when i have this option set to YES
Gallery-Category? Yes No
this is the error i get when clicking on the forum/gallery

any ideas?

[GuaRRand]

Can you make it so its also compatible with VBadvanced?

[Harald_T]

@skooby: To create a category, just make a new forum, and set the option "Act as a forum" to "No". That's all.

@Cheesegrits: Normally it should work with moderated pictures as well, as it's using the normal attachment-system of vB. I'm not 100% sure, as i never tested, to be honest.

@aky: Which error?

@GuaRRand: I made a solution for it. Search this thread, it's posted somewhere. I don't support vBadvanced directly, cause i'm not a fan of this product so much.

@DucatiJeff: You needed four days and don't get it to run? Why you didn't contacted me? I'm sure, i could have help you out your probs. So if you want to give it another try, contact me via pm.

[GuaRRand]

Ok, another question :D
(maybe somewhere in the 68 pages, but havent found it yet...)

1. Can you make it so that the "topics" you make when uploading an image, doesnt show up on "new posts" (or recent/active topics).
As it is now, i upload 10 images and it pushes al my regular recent topics to the bottom of the list.

Oh, and it doesnt seem to register the images in the membersprofile (and i looked over the coding twice...i dont think i put it in wrong)

[Mastar]

I uploaded the button and it doesn't show like here

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=32398&d=1122323356

How/Where do I add comments?

And in the member profile I see the table:
"Latest gallery-submission of:: Happy"

But no picture.

[GuaRRand]

Nvm the member profile thing i had. found ur updated XML already ;)

SO that leaves question #1. how to get the gallery "topics" to NOT show on the recent threads view

[edit]: i also noticed that, if i create a SECURE gallery forum (only for logged in users or some other specific usergroup), it'll still show those pics on the forumhome...
Can it be made so that the forum home also follows the usergroup permissions???

[Harald_T]

@Mastar: This is only the Lastest-Gallery-Addition-Box for your Forumhome. If you go to the gallery, you should find the button.

@GuaRRand: This is a good point. I'll see, if i can find a solution for it.

[gamelandz]

i have done everything but when i click on the upload button...it just looks like the regular thread form???

[Bernd]

edit..never mind :) my mistake.

[Harald_T]

i have done everything but when i click on the upload button...it just looks like the regular thread form???

That ist normal, yes. I haven't figured out yet, how to change that form into a new one only for the gallery. It's on my list, but not yet.

[GuaRRand]

BTW: Great job though!
Previously i had Menalto's Gallery 2.1 installed/integrated into VB.
And altough i luv that Gallery on its own, it sucked in combination with VB.

Your gallery is just what i needed.
Userfriendly, easily installed and ur also trying to keep up with demand(s)/wishes.

Keep it up!! :D

This returns a blank page on thread view without an error message. Basically I want to add some additional information to the user postbit information, such as a link to the user's profile if he\she has uploaded gallery images. Why does this return a blank page upon thread view? Any help would be appreciated.

So far I have changed the names of the variables, which doesn't matter. Removed num-row etc. All that is needed is to check if a user has uploaded a gallery image.

[Harald_T]

@Bernd: The query is completly wrong for this case. You would have to check, if the user has posted in the gallery-forum and had uploaded there an attachment. So, something like (just an example, no reals SQL-Instruction):

If attachment.userid=post.userid and attachment.gallery="1" then...

I can have a look at this, as this is something, i wanted to release, either.

[Bernd]

IC. Darn, thought i could get away with the existing queries.
Might as well list the other ideas I had. Will post any progress I make myself.

Extend the gallery under members info with next\previous page (that way u have ur own personally gallery, which doesn't just list the last couple of images).

Featured artist link in postbit userinfo, which links to the last uploaded featured image of an artist.

Gallery link in postbit userinfo, which links to memberinfo.

That's about all I can think of.

[imported_magjr]

Is it tomorrow yet?

You said on the 29th you;d look at my issue tomorrow. It's now the third of june. I really don't want to uninstall this cause its great, but if its not going to work, it's not going to work.

[camuca]

Go and configure Usergroup permissions via the UserCP for usergroups => What needs to be configured?

Thanks

[TwinHawksClub]

The hack isn't working for me. I got to making the forum, and it didn't have the extra options below "Save". Are you supposed to upload forumdisplay.php via Binary or ASCII? I did both, and there were no extra options under "Save" both times.

Harald_T, if I change some of the instructions and elaborate more, will you change the install instructions in the zip file? I don't want any credit.

Here's a link to the Gallery: http://www.twinhawksclub.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=

I just don't know what I didn't do correct.

[Harald_T]

You didn't set the id of your gallery in the gallery-options, IMHO.

[TwinHawksClub]

There are no gallery options. The only proof that I have that I am installing the hack, is that it has a link in the navbar.

[Bernd]

The gallery options are under vbulletin options in your admin control panel. You can specify one forum id there for the navbar button\hyperlink.

They aren't, that's what i'm saying. If you were in the Admin CP, you'd have no idea that a Gallery has been installed unless you looked at the Plug-in Manager.

You gotta be kidding me.

I apologize if I was harsh in tone in any of my posts.

I selected it to upload, and then filled in the fields in the box below, and hit "Save". :doh:

That would be my problem, it didn't upload the XML file, but it showed the 'product'.

I now see the settings for it on the vBulletin options.

Nope, check it now though.

It doesn't matter whether I put 70 or 71, it still takes you to 70. (which won't load)

I changed 70's settings to act as forum, and still no luck. I've tried setting them opposite each other and with different combinations (act as gallery, gallery-category), and changed the ID field in the Gallery settings, but still not luck.

[Harald_T]

I've checked your site. It seems, the template is completly missing.

Would be the best to deinstall the whole product and then reinstall it again.

Oh, and check the edit on forumdisplay.php either.

If it all doesn't help, contact me via PM.

[wezoo]

Hi Harald

do you know of anyway i can get the featured images across the top on the forum home only ?

i can put them up there no problem so they go across the top, only problem is theyre there all of the time no matter which thread i visit.
im sure its probably easy to you guys, but take into consideration im a dumb artist ;)

Did you manage to figure out why it was showing links to thumbnails in the latest pictures ?

many thanks ( again )

I changed the ID to 71, and for some reason it is working now. I guess I finally selected the right options on each one.

Hy Wez,

the problem is, that your using vbadvanced-portal, as far, as i remember. It's changing the use of forumhome, i think. Therefore, the code for the featured header have to be built into the main portal-template.

I found out, why it showed links to the thumbnails. It was the same problem as in the memberprofile. The code for the template have to be changed.

If you wish, i can have a look after this problems in your forum tonight.

@Twin: Fine it's running now.

[wezoo]

Hi Harald

No problem, its all yours,
you still have full access help yourself :)
wez

[Bernd]

Noticed that if you switch thread view mode, the images will be visible regardless of that registered username check you have used.

It's best to simply leave it out and use the attachment permissions instead?
Just a suggestion.

[Harald_T]

@Bernd: Yes, i will remove it completly. It should normally be in that way, that you only have the standard-view.

About the permissions: Things will change with vB 3.60. I'm interested, how exactly it will work. Also we now have the informations about height and size of the picture. This could be fine for displaying them right (no more blown-up pictures).

[Bernd]

Yeah, noticed that. Haven't seen anything about user permissions though.

The only issue with resizing attachments is that it will decrease the size dramatically if you have a fixed size board of only 800 width. When opening the image in full size, you could allow it to be much larger compared to the image that is shown in thread view. Still think a separate gallery image gd script is the way to go.

[Harald_T]

@Bernd: Not resizing. I meant those pictures, smaller than the standard-size. So i can make a condition-check, to see, if the picture fits and view it in its original-size, if it is smaller.

[DrewM]

Sounds like every one is liking 3.6

[Harald_T]

@Larrysw: You don't? ;)

@Harald_T oh, I do but I thought at first I couldn't run it.

#2. when i create a SECURE gallery forum (only for logged in users or some other specific usergroup), it'll still show those pics on the forumhome...
Can it be made so that the forum home also follows the usergroup permissions???

@GuaRRand: No, not yet. Have taken a free time the last days. I was busy with my familiy and friends.

[GuaRRand]

Hehe.. np.. no hurry ;)

[landry]

I installed, but when I attach file then have "upload error"
Can you help me, please!
Thanks,

[DrewM]

this isn't caused by this hack I don't think. Try disabling the product then tell me if you still get the error.

[Harald_T]

This error is caused because of the wrong or no graphics-library. Check the graphic-settings of your vb.

[landry]

- I had disable the product, but still get the error
- Where can I check the graphic-settings? Is this image?
Thanks,

[DrewM]

Ok enable the product go to admincp collaspe the "vBulletin Options" Group. Then click "vBulletin Options" in the menu. You will see a drop down menulick this and find: Image Settings. In there replace all the information with yours.

[landry]

I done, but still get the error
I think maybe I missing image processing library? How can I do?
Thanks,

[Treasure Quest]

Hello,
Love your gallery mod Harald.
I have a small problem. I featured one of my gallery items and now have a great big picture at the top of my forum.
http://www.treasurequestxlt.com/community/

How can I unfeature this or remove the picture?

Greg

[Harald_T]

@Treasure: You have to edit the first post and upload an picture with the name you filled in your Gallery-options (e.g. header.jpg). Define it for example with the size of 120x120 pixel. It will not be shown in the post, but it will be shown on the header of the page.

[Harald_T]

@all: I've tested it with vB 3.6.1 Beta. It works, although the file-edit has been changed in a little maner. Update will follow.

[DrewM]

no, I didn't look at the whole error try uninstalling this then reinstalling.

[Bernd]

Has anyone gotten this?

Seems to be a faulty installation to me. There is actually a gallery plugin that is needed to validate gallery database fields. It might be missing.

[kofoid]

He Bernd - thanks for your input..... I reinstalled everything and I am still getting:

Is the gallery plugin you are talking about included in the package included here?

***Edited: this is only when I try to create a gallery category or galley forum

[wezoo]

Hi Harald
I noticed you been online ?

Did you manage to spot the problem ?

[Harald_T]

Hi Harald
I noticed you been online ?

Did you manage to spot the problem ?

To me, it seems, the file-edit on forumdisplay.php is completly missing.

[Bernd]

Harald, how did you differentiate between the first attachment and the last attachment in your queries?

My current members profile gallery query displays the last attachment of a gallery post, so it links to the featured thumbnails if an image is featured. I want to prevent that from happening by altering the query to select the first attachments only.

[Harald_T]

You can prevent this, if you make a condition in your "gallery_memberprofile"-template. You have to check, if the name of the picture is unequal to the name of the featured thumbnail. If so, display the picture as normal.

I did it this way:


<if condition="$gallery[filename]!=$vboptions[gal_feat_name]">
<td align="center">
<table class="tborder" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="thead" height="100" width="120" align="center">
<a HREF="attachment.php?attachmentid=$gallery[attachmentid]">
<img src="attachment.php?attachmentid=$gallery[attachmentid]&stc=1&thumb=1" border=0 align="center"></a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="center" align="center" width="120" height="40">
<br />
<a href="showthread.php?t=$gallery[threadid]">
$gallery[title]
</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</if>

[Bernd]

Doesn't that simply skip the image entirely, without checking if it can display the first attachment instead?
EDIT: it seems that the if statement is in place, but it still selects the darn featured thumbnail.

[Harald_T]

Hmh, strange, it works fine for me. But i will check it.

[Bernd]

The strange thing is that it works for certain gallery images, while it doesn't for others. I have listed over 5 images in my gallery, three of them are featured. Two of them work, one doesn't. All featured images are named the same and that name is set in gallery options.

The gallery images are pulled from two different forums.

[Harald_T]

This is really strange, as the routine works fine at my page. Could you grant me access to your page? I'll check.

[Bernd]

Editing the images and reuploading the featured thumb didn't help. I have removed the offending gallery posts and reposted them. They do show up fine now for some reason. If it happens again, I will grant you access to my website.

<if condition="$show['br']">.

Could you explain what the above code tries to do? It's located in gallery_attachment. It seems to me like you tried to separate images with brakes when more than one has been uploaded, which doesn't appear to be working if that's the case.

[kofoid]

Regarding my issues above - the template compressor was messing things up

[tienkhom]

yeah, same here, after installing gallery, my shout box and top 10 statistics display dublicate on my forum home page, I dont know why
*also i have instlled hellcat realtime compressor and template cache system before

[SIN77]

after i create the gallery template, what code am i supposed to add to it?

[tienkhom]

How can I disable totaly the lastest 5 pictures on forumhome, because something conflict with other hack like shout box, I want only to use option act as gallery for my child forum, it is really good
Thanks

[Amaranth]

Thanks for this awesome hack, I love it! and it's freee - huzzah! :)

I've posted a feature request that involves this hack in the forum, if you're interested:
Wouldn't it just be awesome fun to be able to Photocast from Flickr, iPhoto or Picasa to a vBulletin Gallery? I've been playing around with 3.6.0 Beta2's RSS functionality, and coupling that with something like Gallery for vBulletin 3.5.X by Harald_T , could yield some very interesting results.

I guess the functionality needed is to look for images in post, instead of only attachments.
Is this something you would be interested in doing? Is it difficult?

[Harald_T]

You could do:

- Set it to disable in your gallery-options,

or, if this doesn't help:

-Remove the code for the latest pictures in the plugin "gallery_images_forumhome". Or disable the plugin.

[Amaranth]

Another question, Is there an easy way to show a thumbnail of the latest uploaded picture as the "new post" status icon on forum home for the gallery forum?

[kewl1uk]

Just downloaded and installed. *clicks Install*. Thank you for this.

Just one issue. Latest pics are not displayed in member profiles. All I get is
Latest gallery-submission of: kewl1uk
Any ideas on how to fix this. Thank you.

[Harald_T]

Just look two or three pages before. I've posted there another XML-File, which removes this nasty bug.

[Harald_T]

@Amaranth: This is one of the things, i want to do next. I'm looking after these things, atm.

[ithf]

hey..very nice hack...one questions...I currently have coopermine gallery installed somewhere in a subdomain and have like 2000 pics in it...is there a way to import all those pics and cats and subfolders into the vb gallery? or how would I go about it doing that?

best regards

[kewl1uk]

Just look two or three pages before. I've posted there another XML-File, which removes this nasty bug.

The only one I could find is a long way back and is product-101.xml. Is that the one?

[Amaranth]

Cool, if you can make this gallery integrate smoothly with photocasting - well, that would simply rock hard! And seeing the latest photo as a status-icon on forumhome would be really sleek.

Being able to define photocasts, podcasts from flickr, iphoto or the next picasa release, people should be ecstastic! It would just make populating the gallery such a breeze.

[daystorm]

Hello,

I have questions that may have been answered here, but after looking through 20 pages, I figured it was smarter to just ask.

First you said in one of your ealier replies to a post to make a new template. what would that template be for?
Second, my pics are showing up in a column format and I would like them to go across the screen and to display the info I want like your screen shots. What file do I edit?
Third, is it possible to pull the featured over to the index page?

Thank you,
Ella

[ntock]

Very cool, but I won't be able to use unless there is an approval function for mods/admins (this way people don't upload porn etc.). Are you planning on this? Many many thanks :)

[Harald_T]

Very cool, but I won't be able to use unless there is an approval function for mods/admins (this way people don't upload porn etc.). Are you planning on this? Many many thanks :)

Use your vbulletin-settings for this.

@all: i have three weeks holidays now, so i have a plenty more time to work on the gallery. So, expect more soon.

[Allan]

Hey Harald :)

you will upgrade this hack for vB3.6 ?

[Harald_T]

@Alan: Yes, i will. I run vBi-Gallery already on Beta 3.6.2 and having no problems.

I just hadn't to much time in the last weeks, that's all.

[Harald_T]

Just an info: I've started making a kind of member gallery. So you can click on a link in the postbit or in the memberprofile and a new page will open and show the pictures, which has been posted by the user (as a link, so you can directly jump to the post).

For live-demo: http://www.sf-galerie.de

[Bernd]

A suggestion u might be able to use.
Use and update a custom profile field with zero\one depending on if a user has a gallery (field has to update upon attachment upload or something). That way, you can choose to search for members with a gallery through the members list.

The gallery admin sections needs a field where you can input the custom profile field number. Otherwise, the query would need a fixed profile field number, which might not be the same for all members.

[Bernd]

Another suggestion. Prevent people from using external image links, or make an image attachment a requirement (checked upon posting). I've had several people submit a gallery image from an external site.

[edeline]

hi

i've just installed the gallery in my forum.
i have 2 question or problem :

1. latest gallery submission not showing in user profile
2. can user make a comment at the gallery ??

thank you :)

[Gehanna]

How do I get rid of the black space that shows up where the thumbnail images are?

please refer to this link for an example:
http://www.currentday.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=87

**Disregard the first image called My Best Friend. That image is not showing up there because the image was not uploaded via the attachment function.

Is this something that can not be changed? If not then is there a way for me to change the color of the black space so that it matches the light blue background which would then give the appearance of not having any extra space around the thumbnail?

I have looked through all the templates but I am unable to figure this out on my own.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Gehanna

[Harald_T]

This can be removed by changing the CSS-tags.

I'm a little bit out of time today, i'll check back later and help you out of this.

[Gehanna]

Sounds great! Thanks Harald_T :D

[Harald_T]

Oh, just a little preview, of what coming next:

http://www.sf-galerie.de/member_gallery.php?u=1

Have fun!

[Amaranth]

I like what I see! (Especially the Angelina Jolie pic ;))
Can you tell me what I am looking at here? It seems like a gallery without any text beneath the thumbnails, anything spectacular that I'm missing?

[DrewM]

I like what I see! (Especially the Angelina Jolie pic ;))
Can you tell me what I am looking at here? It seems like a gallery without any text beneath the thumbnails, anything spectacular that I'm missing?
it's that members gallary see how it has "u=" in the url?

[Harald_T]

@Larrysw: You're right. This is the first version i made of this. There are a couple of problems to solve (how to make a page break, and such things), but it is a start.

It shows all pictures the user has posted. But it will take a while till it's finished.

[Necrosaro420]

Just to add one important thing:

This hack is based on the "Thumbnail on Forumdisplay"-Hack, which was original written by Dechevious, so credits go also out to him.


Can user's submit there own pics?

[Harald_T]

Yes, they can. The only thing, the admin needs, is to setup a forum for the user and create a gallery out of it.

[ltaylor]

*clicked installed*! I'll be back with a review once installed.
Thanks for creating and sharing!!

[kofoid]

Help!

godaddy shut my site down due to this mod :(:(:( and it's so so awesome! It seems that the following queries caused Go Daddy's CPU utilization soar to over 80% and almost brought down the entire shared server:

SELECT gallery, threadid, firstpostid, Yadathread.title, attachmentid, Yadaattachment.dateline FROM Yadaattachment, Yadathread, Yadaforum
WHERE gallery='1' AND Yadathread.featured!='1' AND Yadathread.forumid=Yadaforum.forumid AND Yadathread.firstpostid = Yadaattachment.postid AND Yadaattachment.dateline < 1151690651
GROUP BY Yadathread.threadid
ORDER BY Yadaattachment.attachmentid DESC LIMIT 5 |
SELECT gallery, threadid, firstpostid, Yadathread.title, attachmentid, Yadaattachment.dateline FROM Yadaattachment, Yadathread, Yadaforum
WHERE gallery='1'AND Yadathread.featured!='1' AND Yadathread.forumid=Yadaforum.forumid AND Yadathread.firstpostid = Yadaattachment.postid AND Yadaattachment.dateline < 1151690653 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 5 |

SELECT gallery, threadid, firstpostid, Yadathread.title, attachmentid, Yadaattachment.dateline FROM Yadaattachment, Yadathread, Yadaforum
WHERE gallery='1' AND Yadathread.featured!='1' AND Yadathread.forumid=Yadaforum.forumid AND Yadathread.firstpostid = Yadaattachment.postid AND Yadaattachment.dateline < 1151690653

Can anyone let me know what I can do in order to KEEP this mod on my site? It seems that the above queries are the forumhome ones for the display 5 random images option.... is that right? If so, is there ANY way I can get this to work without as many queries?

[Harald_T]

@Kofoid: I'm aware of this problem, also it should only add some queries to the page, but not that much, that the site breaks down. I'm thinking over this, if i can reduce the amount of queries used in these routines.

[kofoid]

Thanks Harald!! You rock! :)

[ltaylor]

Hi Harold & Everyone,

First, the hack is awesome. I installed it last night. I have a few changes to make to imput link on navbar as I've also just recently installed a custom skin..(need to work with the coding).

Anyways, one problem I'm having is showing the latest gallery additions in the user cp. I am in the midst of searching all the posts in this thread to find the answer, but in the event someone knows..it would be great if you could direct me.

Thankyou!

[Necrosaro420]

Yes, they can. The only thing, the admin needs, is to setup a forum for the user and create a gallery out of it.

Is there an option so that I do not have to set it up for a specific user? I run a video gaming site, and I want to allow user's to post the pictures of the collections that they have, but I dont want to have to baby it and set each individual one up.

Thanks!

[Harald_T]

@Necrosaro: That would mean, that your users would be able to open up a gallery for themself. I have to check this, can't say atm.

[Harald_T]

@Kofoid: Try this code for the plugin: gallery_images_forumhome

This will remove two queries, if those gallery-options are not used. Tell me, if it works, and i'll build up the whole plugin this way. This is just a workaround, no final solution for this problem. But it may help a bit.

[Tanya123]

No problem

What I did was went to the VBA CMPS => Add module => Module Type [Template]

Module Title - Gallery (Or whatever you want)
Column [Center Column]
Display Order 20 (whatever you want here)
Active Yes
Template to Include: adv_portal_gallery
Template Content:

<if condition="$vboptions['show_latest']==1">
<tr>
<td colspan=$gal_num_rows align="center">Latest pictures in the gallery:
</tr>
<tr>$latestgallery
</if>

<if condition="$vboptions['show_random']==1">
<tr>
<td colspan=$gal_num_rows align="center">Random pictures from the gallery:
</tr>
<tr>
$random_gallery
</tr>
</if>
Use Module Shell Template - Yes
Module Link: (I used this and put it directly to my gallery (same as the link for the navbar - remember your forum ID)

Permissions are up to you - I disallow unregistered and banned users to save bandwidth

I did this and it worked out somewhat. Take a look at my homepage ... I see red x's. I searched this thread and came up with nothing. Help! It shows correctly on my forums page.

[Harald_T]

Red X: It's possible, that your attachment-settings are not right. Please check under the Attachment-Manager, if your vB creates Thumbsnails for your attachments. See the rest in my PM.

[Gehanna]

Hello Harald_T,

Would you still be willing to help me figure out how to correct the issue with the black space showing up with the thumbnail images? You made mention that it could possibly be corrected via. css tags or something like that.

Also, I just noticed that for some reason, the gallery submissions aren't showing up in member profiles.

Click here for what I mean: Gehanna's Profile (http://www.currentday.com/forums/member.php?u=2)

Use your vbulletin-settings for this.

@all: i have three weeks holidays now, so i have a plenty more time to work on the gallery. So, expect more soon.

Does this mean you'll be able to reply to my pm that's been sitting in your inbox for two months now?

[calgdsm]

Harold,

1. THANK YOU!!

2. HELP!!!!

Everthing went pretty smooth so far untill i got the point where i needed to edit the template FORUMDISPLAY. In the install guide it says to edit this

$thread['hiddencount']++;
}

eval('$threadbit .= "' . fetch_template('threadbit') . '";');

}


I cant find that ANYWHERE! Am i using the correct vb version? im not sure what to do. below is the closest i can find.

</if>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$show['threads']">
<!-- show threads -->
<if condition="$show['stickies']">

[calgdsm]

I think i just solved it, It says open the FILE not template. sorry

[calgdsm]

Working!!

But still a few problems.

1. Some of the titles are in German! Can i fix this?

2. the link to the gallery is not working. the text is there but the link does not go to the gallery.

Other than that this kicks Ass!!! Great Job!

Can this handle video files aswell?

[calgdsm]

Bump! Fixed the nav link.

Is there anyway to make everything english i have like 0 german speaking vistors. (That i would like to change, If theres any German DSM Owners drop by the site)

Great Job BTW!!!!

Heres a good idea for an add on to this, how about make it possible to have a highest rated, most viewed ect option can you do this?? that would be great.

[squall leonhart]

2. It presents in forum is different with the introduce of this mod.

3. i try do do follow anything 3rd time but still can't make Category like intro

Could you please write the full guide agian for everybody, ths a lot

[Charles_1]

Hi Harald_T

At first I would like to thank you for your support for this hack. I installed it (version 1.23) yesterday, but it did'nt work completely so far :-(. I read whole this discussion, but without luck - no solution to my issues.

Look at: http://www.svethardware.cz/forum and click "Gallery" in the navbar. Just blank page.

I installed it correctly (last version) via Admincp -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product. Then I followed instructions provided by you at install_vbi_gallery_123.html file and done necessary editing of templates and php file, exactly as instructions said.

Then I created new category (named as Gallery), which has no Parent Forum and I set Display Order to 0 (so it's not visible). Option "Act as Forum" is set to "No". There are two forum settings relating to this hack: "Act as a gallery?" and "Gallery-Category?". In this case I set only "Gallery-Category?" to "Yes" (so "Act as gallery?" is set to "No"). ID of this category is 39 so I set this number at Admincp -> vBulletin Options -> Gallery -> Category-Id.

After this I created in this category (named Gallery) sub-forum named "Test", "Act as forum" is set to "Yes", "Act as Gallery?" is set to "Yes" and "Gallery-Category?" is set to "No". So far, so good.

But when I click on link in navbar (which points to this: http://www.svethardware.cz/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=39), that just only blank page appears, nothing else - just blank white page - end :-(

I also tried uninstall it and import XML file, which you attached to your post #960, but no effect to this.

Could you please look at my problem and help me find solution? I need gallery to improve functionality of our forum and I am stuck right now :-( I set permissions to "all yes" for "Gallery" also for unregistered users for testing purposes.

[squall leonhart]

1. Yup, i did do exactly like ur and i could not create the catergory too, it is only present the blank like ur situation. you can see it http://www.jovp.org

2. And one more problem is i can not post a new thread, it also present blank. I dun know why?can you help me to fix this error

3. Could you please to help me one more thing? My attached thumbnail present the pic so big like the original size before upload, i dun know how to fix it. http://jovp.org/forum/showthread.php?p=115&posted=1#post115 I want it present like this forum small one.

4. And how come if i dun want guest see the Galerie Latest Pictures in the gallery. Only mem can see it? In fact, i dun want it present "x" with the guest it will make the forum looks so stupid.

@Charles: Unset the "Gallery-Category"-Option. It's not needed. Atm this option creates an error, so just leave it set to NO.

[Harald_T]

@Squall: Could you contact me via PM?

@Zyad: In your phpadmin look for the vb-options. There is one option that enables/disables the plugins. Set it to 0, so the plugins won't work any longer. After this, you can remove the plugin or deactivate it.

@Charles: Unset the "Gallery-Category"-Option. It's not needed. Atm this option creates an error, so just leave it set to NO.
Thank you for you reply. I tried different combinations, and that one were one of them too. But no luck.

When I set option "Gallery-Category" of category named "Gallery" with ID 39 to "No", then link in the navbar works fine. But when I go to sub-forum named "Test", I can see two images with descriptions (that means two threads with one attached image to first post), so it looks OK, but when I click the button "Upload" or New thread (in our language it is "Nov? t?ma"), then only thing I get is already mentioned blank page :-(. Those two threads with attached images I created for testing purposes in situation, when the option "Act as gallery" of sub-forum named "Test" with ID 40 was set to "No" -> they were normal threads.

[Harald_T]

@Charles_1: Can you contact me via pm?

[Tyegurl]

did you find a way for users to create their own gallery?

that would be great if you did...

[Harald_T]

Not yet. To be honest, it's to warm here to work.

[Tyegurl]

Not yet. To be honest, it's to warm here to work.

okay lol i am in no hurry....yet.....

only working on a test board. i have no gallery installed yet as i am waiting for you to figure out the user gallery part...i have no coding know how or i would do it.

[calgdsm]

Working!!

But still a few problems.

1. Some of the titles are in German! Can i fix this?



Can i fix this the file size is in german i think i cant read it. can you tell me how to fix it.

I love the HACK great job!!

[Harald_T]

Dateigröße = Filesize. You find it in the template "gallery_threadbit". It's twice there, as much as i remember.

[seany1]

Thanks Harald worked first time, very much appriciated :)

is there any way to show submissions on the postbit, if not then not to worry.

again thanks for a great gallery

}


This will remove two queries, if those gallery-options are not used. Tell me, if it works, and i'll build up the whole plugin this way. This is just a workaround, no final solution for this problem. But it may help a bit.


Hi there - I tried this and it adds 4 queries to my forumhome - does that sound right?

[Harald_T]

O.k., if it does so, it should be right. I'll post another code later, which will only do the queries, which are really used.

I'm working on this routine, so it will only use one query. But atm it doesn't work right.

[Harald_T]

I would suggest, if you don't need the featured-option, use this code:


// #################### Latest Gallery-Additions #######################
// fetch the permissions for each forum
// global $vbulletin;
if ($vbulletin->options['show_latest']) {
$gal_num_rows = $vbulletin->options['gal_num_rows'];


$thumbs = $db->query_read("SELECT gallery, threadid, firstpostid, ". TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.title, attachmentid, ". TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment.dateline FROM ". TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment, ". TABLE_PREFIX . "thread, ". TABLE_PREFIX . "forum
WHERE gallery='1' AND ". TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.forumid=". TABLE_PREFIX . "forum.forumid AND ". TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.firstpostid = ". TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment.postid AND ". TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment.dateline < " . TIME() ."
GROUP BY ".TABLE_PREFIX ."thread.threadid
ORDER BY ". TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment.attachmentid DESC LIMIT $gal_num_rows");



while ($gallery = $db->fetch_array($thumbs))
{
eval('$latestgallery .= "' . fetch_template('gallery_latestpictures') . '";');
}

}
// #################### Random Gallery-Additions #######################
// fetch the permissions for each forum
if ($vbulletin->options['show_random']) {
$random_thumbs = $db->query_read("SELECT gallery, threadid, firstpostid, ". TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.title, attachmentid, ". TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment.dateline FROM ". TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment, ". TABLE_PREFIX . "thread, ". TABLE_PREFIX . "forum
WHERE gallery='1'AND ". TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.featured!='1' AND ". TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.forumid=". TABLE_PREFIX . "forum.forumid AND ". TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.firstpostid = ". TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment.postid AND ". TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment.dateline < " . TIME() ." ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT $gal_num_rows");

while ($rand_gallery = $db->fetch_array($random_thumbs))
{
eval('$random_gallery .= "' . fetch_template('gallery_randompictures') . '";');
}

}


This is only a temporarily solution, as i said, i'm writing a new code for this.

[Tanya123]

My Admins and my Super Mods can see the gallery but my Mods and registered members and custom groups cannot see them. They get red X's. I setup the permission for them to see but still nothing. :(

[Harald_T]

@Tanya: Can your users download attachments? Could be this.

[whoopass]

Is it possible to show the gallery on the vbportal page?

[EthanHunt]

Hello Harald,

i've got 2 Problems.

Bad-English Version:

1.) I want to resize all thumbs to the same size.

2.) How can i remove this border ?

German Version:

1.) Wie stell ich es an das alle Thumbs die gleiche Größe haben.

2.) Wie kann ich diesen Rahmen entfernen bzw. einfarbig machen?

[Tanya123]

@Tanya: Can your users download attachments? Could be this.

Yes, they are all set to download but they cannot upload. Does that make a difference?

[Harald_T]

No, normaly not. It's only neccassary that they download them. It must be a permission-setting, otherwise the admins and super-mods would see "Red X" also.

[imported_magjr]

is there a code I can run in my mysql that will delete this from my database? When I uninstall it, it still leaves fragments in the vbpanel

What for a vbpanel? The uninstall-routine normaly desinstall all.

Ich beantworte es mal eben in Deutsch, geht schneller:

1. Das alle Thumbs die gleiche Gr??e haben, definierst Du normalerweise durch die Attachment-Einstellungen in den vB-Optionen. Du k?nntest jedoch im Template "gallery_latestpictures" ein width- und height-Tag mit Angabe der Wunschgr??e angeben, dann wird das Thumb entsprechend verg??ert/verkleinert.

2. Im gleichen Template musst Du die beiden class-Angaben "tborder" und "thead" entfernen, dann hast Du den Rand nicht mehr.

[Harald_T]

@imported: which pm? I checked it, but i didn't received a pm in the last month or so from you.

It should be completly removed, except you would still use an old version of this hack. In this case there will be templates and phrases left. But the latest version normaly deinstalls it completly.

And what do you mean with this "vbpanel"? Do you mean the navbar?

[imported_magjr]

I sent a pm 27. May 2006, 16:37

It's an older version of your hack and when I revert templates, I look in the plugin area and fragments are still there.

[Harald_T]

Strange, i don't any pm between January and Juni... That's really weired.

What was the problem with the hack?

[Draygonia]

A few questions if you could please answer!

1) I have the gallery, but how do I upload pictures so they display in the gallery? I tried to create a new thread and upload an attachment and have it display like that, but it doesnt display the image at all.

2) How do I mass upload pictures? Like upload them to a folder on the website and the file name would = the picture name and they would automatically display in the forum.

Are you using prefixes in your SQL-Database?

Otherwise it looks like the gallery has not be installed. Are you using the latest version of it now?

Hi Harold, First I'm enjoying your hack.

My question is: Am I able to post the display (last # pictures) inbetween my choice of the forums as apposed to just under the navbar?

Thnx for your reply

Not sure if i'm using prefixes in my database. It's just the standard database.

I got that error message when I tried installing the .xml file you have. It's step #1 from your write up.

[Harald_T]

Just look inside your phpadmin: In the table "forum", there should not be a row namend "Gallery", if the gallery isn't installed. Otherwise, if so, delete this row.

Afterwards, import the XML-File again.

[dodjer42]

I wish I saw this hack last week before I purchased photopost for over $100 :)

This looks actually better than photopost. Harald, can you confirm whether new image posts actually modify the 'last post' details on the main forum where the gallery link is found (something that photopost does not do)?

:banana:

[Harald_T]

@Dodjer42: You mean, if you post a new picture, or reply to a post, that you've got this "forum_new.gif" which indicates that the forum contains new posts? If you mean this, yes.

[dodjer42]

Thanks Harald, yes exactly that. Also on the right column 'last post' which has the date of the last post, time and user who posted.

Regards,
D

[brvheart]

Hello great hack! I have a small issue, in the member profiles, the pics are not showing up, I searched through and saw that you posted a xml to fix this, but did you update the one in the zip file?

[kofoid]

I am getting so discouraged :( for some reason, the ability to post new photos, so I re-installed the plugin it completely hosed my board :( I have had to completely disable the entire gallery. :(:(:(

[Harald_T]

This is strange, yes. As normaly the hack shouldn't mix up the board. Maybe another plugin, which is interfering with the hack.

[brvheart]

I uploaded the xml from page 33 I think, it was marked xml 101 or something, and that fixed my board with no issues. I did have to make the original forum/catagory to act as a forum, then I was able to see the "upload" button and everything worked great after that :) thank harold :)

I just installed this hack and was wondering if there was a way to stop the newly added section on the main page to NOT show any pictures from a certain gallery.

[mdavis1984]

I am having the same trouble:surprised:

Do you have your VB options set to show thumbnails in post? You can also set how many attachments to allow for each post.

[Derekclarke]

has anyone tested this on 3.6?

[Harald_T]

Just set it in the Gallery-Options, there you can disable Random Pictures.

[mdavis1984]

well i want them to be shown just not from a private thread. which it shows.

[Harald_T]

Oh, therefore it's only neccassary to change the template a bit. I'll check it this evening.

[AzianStang]

Harald, for some reason my gallery is only uploading 20-30% of an attached image?

The forum acts as if it has fully uploaded the image, but when viewing as a thread, only part of the image was uploaded, and IE shows there's an error on the page.

[whoopass]

After installing VBiGallery, my format options have become disabled or non-functional and i'm not able to manage attachments(button is missing).

Nothing works, smilies, format options, links.

Any help would be appreciated.

After installing vbigallery and having to uninstall it because it didn't work, I am now faced with an issue with my format options not working or being disabled. I could use some assistance with this issue.

My apologies, after creating a new default style, I deleted the old styles and simply made the necessary changes to the template files and it now works again.

Not sure why it disabled my format options but everything works now and all is good.

How do i change or remove the foreign wording for filesize when an image is viewed?

[tgralex]

Installation was a piece of cake! Well done!
The only question I have is how to load images so they show up correctly?
when I press on "Gallery" link in menu it brings me to the list of threads created in the gallery and I think it should be showing a small picture on there...

I tried adding images as attachment, as image using [IMG]-tag - the same result...
I guess that is the reason when I lookup for a member who submitted a picture in the gallery it doesn't show in the bottom...

I feel I am a step away from using a great addin :)

Please help.

[Harald_T]

Use attachments for the gallery, not [IMG]-Tags.

@Mr. Brian: Why don't you think so?

[Mr. Brian]

Use attachments for the gallery, not [IMG]-Tags.

@Mr. Brian: Why don't you think so?
Course I'm running RC 2

[Harald_T]

I bet you didn't found the code for the file-edit?

As i said before: I'll release it when GOLD is out.

[Mr. Brian]

No. I know where the code is but as what I said it just won't work.

[Harald_T]

I'll check this tonight.

[Tork64]

Okay, I tried installing this on VB 3.6 RC2, just to try it out, if it worked i would have left it but if it didnt i would have uninstalled it. Anyways, everything worked fine, however the drop down for search did not work, nothing in the navbar that had a drop down menu would go down, you would click on it and nothing would fall. Did I install it wrong or should I just wait for a working rls for VB 3.6 ? Thanks

[MRs2]

I tried to install it, but I think I'm missing something.
The zip just gives me a few buttons (gif's instead of jpg), the xml and one page of installation guide.

The installation guide doesn't say anything about creating a template, nor the necessary name, nor any code to put in there.

Some posts further I see that the template is supposed to be called threadbit_gallery instead of template_gallery, so now I have two clue's that are never mentioned before:

1 I need to create a template
2 it's name is to be threadbit_gallery

That second post also tells me to create a new phrase in "Forum_related". I'm not exactly sure what you mean by forum_related. Perhaps I will know what you mean if you say that in German, then I can find it in my English version.


I have 3.5.4, and just like Grendel had before: all I have is an extra forum.
I can't even switch it off, because the switch doesn't work.
My database is correct though: fields gallery and gallery_cat are there, and properly showing the 1's and 0's at the right records.

I hope you can help me!



@Grendel:

Let's see, if we can fix your problem.

First of all, did you create the needed templates?

You do this:

ACP->Styles&Templates->Styles-Manager->Selecting from the Style-Options-Men?: Add a new template.

Give it the neccessary name and in the big field fill in the code for the template.

For setting the category up:

Set the Display-Order to '0', so that it isn't visible (but still accessable) and 'Act as Forum' to 'No', as you already thought.

Before the save-button for the forum-options you should have a new YES/NO-Option named 'Gallery'. This is the gallery-option. Set this to yes.

This should be all.

The effect you got sounds like, that you didn't set the Gallery-Option to yes. Did you also don't forget to run the needed query? Check your database, if there is a field called 'gallery' in your forum-table.

To be sure i will check the code for vB 3.5.0 Beta4 tonight.



O.k., i've attached the new version of the hack.

Also, i've found an type-error in the original-text:

The new template to create isn't of course called "template_gallery" but "threadbit_gallery". Sorry for the typo.

And second: You have to add a new phrase.

Place it in forum-related and call it Gallery.

The text for the phrase could be: "Use as gallery?"

[dodjer42]

@Dodjer42: You mean, if you post a new picture, or reply to a post, that you've got this "forum_new.gif" which indicates that the forum contains new posts? If you mean this, yes.

Harald, I am looking to replace photopost on my production box. Where abouts in the XML file does it do the 'Last Post' update for forum_new.gif and the last post details?

Thanks for this awesome hack!

[dubsbhoy]

It's very easy, I followed the instructions from Christianb that he posted some time ago, I quote them here for you.
Now, I would like to eliminate the title upon the pics (Album foto) but I still haven't discoverd how... ;)


No problem

What I did was went to the VBA CMPS => Add module => Module Type [Template]

Module Title - Gallery (Or whatever you want)
Column [Center Column]
Display Order 20 (whatever you want here)
Active Yes
Template to Include: adv_portal_gallery
Template Content:

<if condition="$vboptions['show_latest']==1">
<tr>
<td colspan=$gal_num_rows align="center">Latest pictures in the gallery:
</tr>
<tr>$latestgallery
</if>

<if condition="$vboptions['show_random']==1">
<tr>
<td colspan=$gal_num_rows align="center">Random pictures from the gallery:
</tr>
<tr>
$random_gallery
</tr>
</if>
Use Module Shell Template - Yes
Module Link: (I used this and put it directly to my gallery (same as the link for the navbar - remember your forum ID)

Permissions are up to you - I disallow unregistered and banned users to save bandwidth

[StevanMD]

Simple as that. Thanks.
It still doesn't show up the actual thumbnails there though (it does when I include the Gallery on the Forum main page), but I guess I will working around that.

In the process I'll see where to change the title you need and let you know.

[StevanMD]

Now, I would like to eliminate the title upon the pics (Album foto) but I still haven't discoverd how... ;)

Now, from what I've seen (btw, I've spent the last two hours going through every bit of everything - beyond just Gallery thing - to see why the pop up shows for each picture the page loads, and in the end none load at all, and just as I was about to reinstall everything (as if that would bring real change), I figured I should check the server settings, and lo and behold, all image folders were locked by default. Awesome hosting providers these days, awesome).

As for your problem, just change the Module Title

What I did was went to the VBA CMPS => Add module => Module Type [Template]
Module Title - Gallery (Or whatever you want)
Column [Center Column]
Display Order 20 (whatever you want here)
Active Yes

Thanks a lot Stevan but what I meant, was to ELIMINATE that blue line with the title... I'll find a solution sooner or later :)

[StevanMD]

Thanks a lot Stevan but what I meant, was to ELIMINATE that blue line with the title... I'll find a solution sooner or later :)

I think you need to use this code:

<if condition="$vboptions['show_latest']==1">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="99%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan=$gal_num_rows>
Galerie
<div class="smallfont">Latest Pictures in the gallery:</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
$latestgallery
</tr>
</table>
<br />
<br />
</if>

<if condition="$vboptions['show_random']==1">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="99%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan=$gal_num_rows>
Gallery
<div class="smallfont">Latest Pictures in the gallery:</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
$random_gallery
</tr>
</table>
<br />
<br />
</if>
<!--Gallery-Addition-->

instead of this:

<if condition="$vboptions['show_latest']==1">
<tr>
<td colspan=$gal_num_rows align="center">Latest pictures in the gallery:
</tr>
<tr>$latestgallery
</if>

<if condition="$vboptions['show_random']==1">
<tr>
<td colspan=$gal_num_rows align="center">Random pictures from the gallery:
</tr>
<tr>
$random_gallery
</tr>
</if>


when creating the Gallery module. The longer one defines the class of the td element (that definition for class tcat in this case, holds the properties of the layout of all those blue lines across modules).

So you need to change its from class="tcat" to say class="tcatgallery"

and from there on create the tcatgallery in css and define its properties (if you want background completely gone, delete all mention of the background, but then it will be transparent and will have the table background as its own, or define any new bacground - either color or gradient picture for example).

I am not sure where to find the css definition of tcat, but I believe if you search for tcat in AdminCP> Styles & Templates > Search in Templates, you should locate it.

[Ignicoccus]

Hi there,

I tried to install this MOD and everything went fine. Only this part here :

2. Find:
$thread['hiddencount']++;

}

eval('$threadbit .= "' . fetch_template('threadbit') . '";');

}

looks different for me. My forumdisplay.php looks like this :

$thread['hiddencount']++;
}
$show['moderated'] = ($thread['hiddencount'] > 0 AND can_moderate($forumid, 'canmoderateposts')) ? true : false;
$show['deletedthread'] = ($thread['deletedcount'] > 0 AND $canseedelnotice) ? true : false;

}
eval('$threadbit .= "' . fetch_template('threadbit') . '";');

}

So I changed it to :

The Gallery appears in my forum, the link in the nav bar works like it should but when I try to post a picture, I only see the standard comment field, like in a normal forum.

Any Idea ? BTW: I am running vB 3.6

This is because you're running vb 3.6 This hack isn't released yet for 3.6. It will follow the next days.

@ wezoo

Tell me please, did you use vBAdvanced CMPS to load Google ads on your page?

Thanks

yes i did !! :)

[mototips]

Ok i want to load google ads under the pictures in my gallery. Here is what it is now http://www.mototips.com/forums.php
How would i put a leader board underneath the pictures but still in the same table as the gallery?

*/me clicks install again*

Thanks, dreck

[Muellmann]

it's a great Hack and i would like to install it on my new Board as well :)
So i would be very glad if you port it to 3.60!

[Harald_T]

If i get the time, i'll post an update for 3.60 tomorrow evening.

[MRs2]

There is no way I can get it to work:confused:

I either get it to act like a normal forum, or it just gives a blank page and nothing happens.
I have been struggling for weeks now.

This is on 3.5.4

Any good ideas?

[DrewM]

try uninstalling the product then re-installing.

[MRs2]

I already completely uninstalled and reinstalled it.

Also tried to change my settings:
I want a gallery-category, split up into gallery subcategories with photo's. I tried to leave the subcategories out and put the gallery directly under the main gallery category. Made no difference.

DB changes are there, main category number is parsed correctly.

[DrewM]

Well the gallery-categorys don't work so the forums you want to be gallery put the forum option act as gallery.

[MRs2]

OK, I set everything to gallery, also the categories. (But set to "act as a forum = No)

This way I get them displayed, but the galleries still work as normal forum.
