I was rebooting

Great job JJR512,

I will use this for my forum and going to create a addon to let you add all the infos from CP tomorrow. When I finished it, I'll share it with everyone here. So stay tuned.... ;)

This is what I got so far...its working for me now, and now I have to test it a little bit. When it works fine I will release it....now I'm off to cinema.

ok,JJR512,here is your want .
;)
I edited the main_pg.txt and main_photogallery.php
you can use pagenav in display.
I think you can do better. ;)
wait....

Lionel,

How did your imagemagik efforts go? I already have imagemagik installed on my server. I need a place for users of our vB Forum to post their images. But thumbnailing will be too much work. I would also like the ability to set the full size imagemaximum and if a user posts a file larger than allowedit will automatically reduce the image.

Think it can be done?

How is this hack working for everyone, looks like there was some quite time recently!


Thanks,

Andy

Merry Xmas to you and thanks for hack.

BTW there are plenty any forums news hacks. I am using 3 of them on my site frontpage.

Arathorn, you have to do more than just upload the files. You have to tell the database what files to to which member. There are instructions on how to do this in the hack file.

organic-hosting, I can't tell you how to do that because my hack does not include a way for users to upload their own photos. I specifically made it so that only I can upload photos, in order to specifically prevent the kind of problem that you are talking about. I want full control over what does and does not get displayed in the Gallery. Now if someone else made a modification to this hack that lets uses upload their own photos, you'll have to ask that person, as it's beyond the scope of what I've done, so I couldn't help you with it.

is there a way we allow members to post comments?

There is a comments field but I never made a way for someone to put in their own comments. You would have to fill in that field when you do the query to add someone to the photo gallery for the first time, or you can update it later.

Does this hack work with 2.2.2??

I don't mean to be demanding, this hack is great, but for someone who doesn't know SQL that well, and accidentally enters in a picture address wrong or whatnot, could someone please make an Admin CP script that allows you to modify the gallery from there, making it much easier for those of us not fluent in SQL.

Does it work with 2.2.2?

It should. JJR512's board is on 2.2.2

I can also say it works on 2.2.3/2.2.3b, although my particular version, I've modified a bit to be able to show multiple items on one row.

Weren't you going to post instructions on how to do that, or a modified version of this hack?

It got pushed back on my imaginary schedule... there's a lot of code modification, so I couldn't just post instructions on how to change it to do multi-column cause it would require changing most of the code, and not everybody wants to sift through that ;)

I'm going to TRY to take this hack and add the functionality of allowing registered members to upload their own pics. Automatically.

I'll post as soon as I figure it out.

alright, i'm also working on this one, shouldn't be to hard, I just really need to learn how to edit the UserCP :)

*confused*

I've added the files exactly as described, but all I can see is a blank white page at

http://www.visualcues.com/forums/main_photogallery.php

Is there something special about which template set the templates are installed to that I might be missing?

*needs help* :(

If you have multiple styles, the templates need to be added to each style's template set.

thanks
I'l give that a try and see what happens :)
either way, I'll revise this post.

[edit]
it works like a charm, thanks!
[/edit]

er...

not sure why, but the who's online page was replaced with an error message on line 59-something. Either mySQL was acting up, or something else was incorrect.

*shrugs*

anyway, I uninstalled it for now.

Hi,

does it work in 2.2.5???

Can this be turned off for certain usergroups?

Very cool hack ! Thanks ! :knockedout:

cleared... :speechless:

I am getting one of the profile feilds to show under my username.

And by the way, I am using a relative path, and it works fine!

I love this hack...Can't wait till people start sending me photo's to upload.

And by the way, I am running vB 2.2.5 and all appears to work.

Is it possible to add a button in the memberlist ?

If a user have a photo in the Photo Gallery it would be nice to see a button in the memberlist. Same like FireFly's avatar hack here

Any update on trying on members being able to upload own photos and things? Just curious

Correct me if this has been said already, but why not let users upload their own photos, and then in the admin can approve of them in the admin-cp. If you need scripts to look at on how to do this, maybe use the top-list hack, moderator application hack, or quote hack--they all have a form of admin cp verification.

There has been much talk about people's modifications to this hack - is anyone actually going to make them public?

and hows the ability for a member to upload their own pic feature going?

It looks like vBulletin 3 is going to include a feature that will allow a member to upload his/her own photo into his/her profile. This photo would then be displayed in the user's profile whenever someone views it.

However, I saw no mention of a centralized system wherein you could view all photos; this is what my hack basically does.

Therefore, when vBulletin 3 comes out, if it's not already included by then, I intend to release a new Photo Gallery hack that will build on the built-in profile photo system that's built in to vB 3. This new hack will be a centralized page to see all photos, as is this current version, but it should be simpler and more user-friendly, since it uses the photos that users upload for themselves.

Let this serve as notice that, unless the vBulletin developers include this functionality in the release version, I hereby claim eminent domain over this idea, and kindly ask that nobody else work on the same idea. :)

Very cool hack, I'll use it until vB 3 is released. Nice job!

Ok i have installed it, and i can see the page.

BUT: Where do i put in the pictures, and the text ? I cant find it in the admin page ;( ??

:)

What admin page? There is no admin page with this hack. Everything is done by file uploads and direct database modifications. It's all described in Step 2b. Sorry, I wasn't experienced enough at the time to write a more sophisticated way of managing it. I might be able to do it now, but I have no plans to do so, as I anticipate the pending release of vBulletin 3, which will require the hack to be rewritten. In other words, I'm not going to spend any time adding new features to a hack that will be depracated soon.

HEHE ok, i understand :)

Nice Hack JJR512

I have been useing it for a few months now.
I have read your post about the admin cp option
of allowing to enter the photo and useid in to the
database with out using phpmyadmin.

This is a good hack I will be useing it for some time
as I have no plans to update to vb3.

If anyone can make a script that will enter the
photo and userid in to the photogallery table in the
database via the admin cp I would very muich like to
add it.

I would do my self but I would be takeing my
life and database in to my own hands .lol

Thanx

Hi,

does anyone have a demo of this in action ?

It is then possible to have 1 page with all the pictures only ?

hi,
One more question ...

is there a way for the users to add their pictures ? and creating thumbs ?
I can go around doing :
INSERT INTO photogallery VALUES (xxx, 'full-photo-URL', 'thumb-photo-URL', '');
for hours/days at a time and creating stupid Thumbnails ?
