Looks great!, get well! :up:

To give the web site Admins control. I request that you have a setting to choose which albums are bridged. Even if its just one album. Thank You

Hi,

Sorry I missed your questions... my apologies

Pulling images from external sources (outside your own domain) requires a PHP proxy to workaround the Adobe cross-domain security in flash, this maybe looked at in a later version. Basically, for now it will just be for vBulletin 3.7 using a bridging script feed.

1. It will only pull images from public albums, for security reasons the data bridging file is setup not to allow direct access to albums, only the igallery can read the data.

2. Queries used will be very low due to the way the integration works.

The demo requires Adobe Flash browser plugin version 9.0 update 3.0 - this should automatically be shown if you access the page without the correct version. An auto-installer script is built-in to download the latest plugin, without leaving the site/page.

vBportal is quite straight forward to use. We have used it in the past for demonstrations, we will look at a block template structure for this portal.

We are doing some testing before releasing the main bridge - it also includes an updated iGallery. The new iGallery flash file allows designers to publish their own backgrounds to customize the iGallery further.

You will see from aforementioned posts that its nearly at a release stage. :)

Looking forward to it.

Thanks so mush Syrus. Lowest query being used is the best mod. Looking forward to your latest release.

As requested by many we have bridged this product to work with vBulletin 3.7 User Albums. Because this is just a temporary bridge, it has no AdminCP at present, this will change when we release a Multi-bridging Script which will allow you to choose what gallery you want, upload/delete background images, over 60 parameter settings which control camera position, globe settings, mirrors and much more.

The release today will allow the following:

• Background Image Import
• Pulls images from vBulletin 3.7 User Albums
• Tweens images from thumbnails to Full size automatically
• Resizes images automatically regardless if they are portrait or landscape view
• Can read PNG, GIF and JPG formats (Animated GIFs are not supported by Flash, so these will be shown as static images)
• By default it will be setup to pull the last images uploaded to any album, we have set this to pull the last 6 images per album (this can be changed to suit your own requirements)
• vBulletin User Album 'Captions' have been setup to show within the 'Description' field. This field has been changed to multi-line to compensate for long captions entered within vBulletin.

The bridge does require a vBulletin default to be changed, this is to give the lowest possible SQL queries. vB iGallery will query the database for the caption data only, it has also been optimized by default parameters to be CPU friendly. Tooltips have been removed in V2.0 which would have caused unnecessary SQL queries.

awesome work, Syrus and your team. Would you please kindly let me know if today release is a prerelease or will be the final release? Also, I know that you mentioned "lowest possible SQL queries" but would it be possible for you to tell exact number?

Not sure it's my company PC or not but I am not able to see the Demo. It gave me blank screen.
