vBGallery is my creation........ http://sanguin.net/forums/gallery.php :)

Hmm. That actually looks pretty decent.
I'm afraid (by the looks of it) that it just doesn't have all the features I need with it I'm very picky about this whole thing right now. :p

But really, keep up the work, should turn out to be a great gallery script. And in future releases may be just what I'll be looking for. ;)

For now, about 4images.. I think I'll ask the guy that does the intranet at my job for some help on it. If I get a fix out of him, I'll be sure to post it up here.

Thanks,

I've always used 4images gallery, now I have many pictures in it and can't delete them all to get another gallery :/

Also 4images is the best gallery I know, and I think that I have to wait for 1.8 until someone makes a new integration which works better than this :/

[edit: I've found a bug in the code of 4images in the header template...

after this:
add a }

I don't think that it will fix the problem, but I'll try it out now ;)]

[edit2: Now the browser doesn't report a problem, but the login isn't fixed :(]

hmmm... I don't know why and I don't know how to fix, but if I look to my cookies, there is a cookie named 4images_userid, my vB-Userid is 1, and the vaue of this cookie is -1... can it be that this is our cookie/login problem?

Could be.. Good luck in figureing it out! If you get it, pleeeeeeeease let me know! :)

Since there is no support for this hack, and there is still this login/logout problem, I uninstalled my 4 images and now I use Coppermine (which is also free). It is quite easy to transfer the images from 4images. the only saddelty is there is no easy way of transfering the comments made for images.

I use coppermine as well, 4images template system is very customizable and that's what I like about it. Really, the template system for 4images is way ahead of its time IMO. The competitors (Coppermine, Photopost, etc) really don't stand a chance as far as templating goes at the moment.

There is a problem because while you CAN login and the integration DOES work with vbulletin 3 it doesn't however HOLD the cookie and login information. Until someone figures out how to get 4images to recognize the vbulletin cookie and keep a user logged in the script will keep requiring you to login. So there needs to be SOMETHING added to the script.

The integration works perfectly for VB gold and above but the ONE bug is the LOGGING in, you just cant stay logged in.

And i agree that 4images was always the BEST gallery script out there... its presentation and appeal is unmatched. Its simply the BEST designed gallery out there but support for it is very lacking. Supposedly Version 1.8 and 2.0 will be VB3 compatible so for the time being I am just allowing Anyone to post comments or download or wtv because frankly I can wait. I would also suggest that you guys do that as well for the time being. Just keep everything set to ALL or use the PASSWORD PROTECT NON-VB pages with MEMBER INFO hack for certain pages. It wouldnt be hard.

But I would still suggest using 4images as it is BY FAR the best gallery out there. Other galleries are just plain ugly INCLUDING Photopost... that i can't understand is so bloody expensive when there are BETTER galleries out there for free... some people just have delusions of grandeur and some people actually buy into that bull crap and fork over the cash just because its integratable with there forums... sometiems its nto worth it. But 4images would be worth it and Ill still try to make it work.

Og, I wouldnt have gotten rid of 4images because the 1.8 version is right around the corner and JAN who created 4images wrote the VB2.x integration that worked PERFECTLY so he will almost certainly create a VB3 integration.

4IMAGES compared to Coppermine is like comparing a STEAK to a measely Mcdonalds Cheeseburger..

Like i said above you should just either password protect certain files or just turn off registrations to 4images and allow anyone to view or download. I Personally dont let anyone but my admins upload anything but everythig else in my 4images is set to ALL. and I even use the hack to password protect pages with Vbulletin info on some of them.

This is the best choice right now if you use 4images.

yes, I dont get any report of big problem sofar.

Some minor problems in my 4i are:

- for vB3.0.1, logout require userID and I dont have it in logout code yet
- users are browsing album aint be tracked in session (session only show the last action in forum). Who is Online only shows guests who are browsing album.
- 4i cant use the "remember me", because of the cookie path. it doesnt matter if you select it or not, you still have to login next time (close browser) if you go directly to album. If you go from forum to album, it's ok.

(I have them setup as http://domain/album and http://domain/forum)

btw, if you have cookie problem, check cookie setting for vB too (ACP/VB options). make sure that the cookie setting is "general" enough to take care album too.

(for example, I just use .domain as domain, and nothing for path)

maybe I will take sometime rewrite the hack, then you can try and see if it works.


heheh, I spent few hours trying photopost 4.6 for my friend, but didnt like it. Dont talk about the support, but the program itself doesnt make a big step over other free album scripts, in order to be worth 129 some bucks.

Some good things are:
- easy to intergrate. However, it's not that important. People buy a album, for a good album first, before thinking about intergration.
- have the "forum look", which is only a "different in style", you can change the layout by making another template.

what else? didnt see any yet.
