I think this requires Imagemagick?

I got this while uploading, my VB is definitely set to GD though:

Code:

    gv062912dAPR20120629054512.jpg - Imageinfo Failed:

    sh: /usr/bin/identify: No such file or directory

    holb_c10058120120629120100.jpg - Imageinfo Failed:

    sh: /usr/bin/identify: No such file or directory

I went ahead and installed imagemagick just for this and the error went away.

Thanks again for the great work, much appreciated,

-Jason

Scandal!!
I just seen this now ..
You out done yourself again. < insert 2 thumbsup
I been looking to find a replacement for PP ( a importer would be great) as people have suggested
I think this will be the replacement for Photopost from what I have read so far! The support alone sold me
The next time I have a sec I will grab this and be testing it ;)

thanks for the release
I will be sure to help with ideas..
as soon as I play around with it
Regards

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.

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

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..

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?

Read the installation instructions at first post. Are you sure you have done the part three:
Quote:

3. (Important) Open template album_edit and find:
HTML Code:

<fieldset class="blockrow">
add below:
HTML Code:

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


?

Ah, my apologies! That was the missing link.

Thanks for an excellent mod and support

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..

Thanks
