Glad to hear you got it working! :)

The actual details relating to 'User Albums' regarding paths and urls are documented in the vBulletin Manual, this is why it was not covered in detail within our own UserGuide. I think the AdminCP also has the details under it's help section for Albums.

It is easily overlooked, and I can see why it could be confusing.

Regards,

My apologies if this was previously requested or answered......

Is there a way to place user permissions on vB iGallery?

Is it possible for each user to have/create their own vB iGallery?

Nice work!

C.

Permissions are not available yet in this modification, this will change once the modifcation is AdminCP controlled.

To actually specify a vB iGallery per user would require a very tight tie in to the vBulletin album coding, the current coding does not support this feature yet.

Okay...

Are you working on a particular timeline for the AdminCP?

Thanks for the mod!!!!

Clicks install!!

We are currently updating the iGallery to work with video as well. It now supports YouTube access, but we've incorporated our own player in to the backend of YouTube, therefore it is '*chromeless*'.

ATM, the AdminCP is under heavy development to incorporate bridging with many popular galleries, along with a vBAdvanced CMPS block version - which is much smaller than this original.

*YouTube chromeless - meaning the original FLV player has been replaced by our own player, also no watermarks are present in any video that is streamed from YouTube.

I am looking forward to the update.

Keep up the great work!

Hi Syrus,

Although, I really like the mod, I am going to have to uninstall it. We were testing the forums and the only way we could actually view the gallery was via the full url. Which is unfortunate because when we checked the image paths it showed information that should not be viewed by the public.

I'm sure it's probably something we did incorrectly during the install. Until we can figure it out we cannot use your beautiful gallery.

Thanks,

C.

This is a problem when images are stored in the webroot, paths can easily be found. The gallery itself pulls images via the vbi.php file, but uses a non-direct call - this was done to prevent the real path from being accessed from a browser. The only way around this is by placing the images in the home directory, but then the current vbi.php will fail to find them due to the dynamic XML read only.

In an update this will be coded differently, and paths will not matter, even if they are left in the database default, which is not recommended for large communities, due to database 'bloating'.

The new version will be totally revamped, and security will be increased, along with dynamic bridge import system.

Sorry about the uninstall... but this was just a quick way to bridge it to work with vBulletin User Albums, not the best way but works. We may update this, before the main release 'bridge import' version.

Syrus,

Thanks for clarifying.

I hope you will be able to release the bridge soon. You do very good work.

Thanks,

C.

I've been working on this and I think I am getting close.

I've change the path and rebuilt the thumbs; now I get a warning regarding line 333 in the class_image.php of the includes file.

Any idea?

Thanks,
