Seems to be a faulty installation to me. There is actually a gallery plugin that is needed to validate gallery database fields. It might be missing.

He Bernd - thanks for your input..... I reinstalled everything and I am still getting:
Fatal error: Field gallery is not defined in $validfields in class vb_datamanager_forum in /includes/class_dm.php on line 485

Is the gallery plugin you are talking about included in the package included here?

***Edited: this is only when I try to create a gallery category or galley forum

Hi Harald
I noticed you been online ?

Did you manage to spot the problem ?

To me, it seems, the file-edit on forumdisplay.php is completly missing.

Harald, how did you differentiate between the first attachment and the last attachment in your queries?

My current members profile gallery query displays the last attachment of a gallery post, so it links to the featured thumbnails if an image is featured. I want to prevent that from happening by altering the query to select the first attachments only.

You can prevent this, if you make a condition in your "gallery_memberprofile"-template. You have to check, if the name of the picture is unequal to the name of the featured thumbnail. If so, display the picture as normal.

I did it this way:

Doesn't that simply skip the image entirely, without checking if it can display the first attachment instead?
EDIT: it seems that the if statement is in place, but it still selects the darn featured thumbnail.

Hmh, strange, it works fine for me. But i will check it.

The strange thing is that it works for certain gallery images, while it doesn't for others. I have listed over 5 images in my gallery, three of them are featured. Two of them work, one doesn't. All featured images are named the same and that name is set in gallery options.

The gallery images are pulled from two different forums.

This is really strange, as the routine works fine at my page. Could you grant me access to your page? I'll check.

Editing the images and reuploading the featured thumb didn't help. I have removed the offending gallery posts and reposted them. They do show up fine now for some reason. If it happens again, I will grant you access to my website.

.

Could you explain what the above code tries to do? It's located in gallery_attachment. It seems to me like you tried to separate images with brakes when more than one has been uploaded, which doesn't appear to be working if that's the case.

Regarding my issues above - the template compressor was messing things up

yeah, same here, after installing gallery, my shout box and top 10 statistics display dublicate on my forum home page, I dont know why
*also i have instlled hellcat realtime compressor and template cache system before

after i create the gallery template, what code am i supposed to add to it?

How can I disable totaly the lastest 5 pictures on forumhome, because something conflict with other hack like shout box, I want only to use option act as gallery for my child forum, it is really good
Thanks

Thanks for this awesome hack, I love it! and it's freee - huzzah! :)

I've posted a feature request that involves this hack in the forum, if you're interested:
I guess the functionality needed is to look for images in post, instead of only attachments.
Is this something you would be interested in doing? Is it difficult?

You could do:

- Set it to disable in your gallery-options,

or, if this doesn't help:

-Remove the code for the latest pictures in the plugin "gallery_images_forumhome". Or disable the plugin.

Another question, Is there an easy way to show a thumbnail of the latest uploaded picture as the "new post" status icon on forum home for the gallery forum?

Just downloaded and installed. *clicks Install*. Thank you for this.

Just one issue. Latest pics are not displayed in member profiles. All I get is
Any ideas on how to fix this. Thank you.

Just look two or three pages before. I've posted there another XML-File, which removes this nasty bug.

@Amaranth: This is one of the things, i want to do next. I'm looking after these things, atm.

hey..very nice hack...one questions...I currently have coopermine gallery installed somewhere in a subdomain and have like 2000 pics in it...is there a way to import all those pics and cats and subfolders into the vb gallery? or how would I go about it doing that?

best regards

The only one I could find is a long way back and is product-101.xml. Is that the one?

Cool, if you can make this gallery integrate smoothly with photocasting - well, that would simply rock hard! And seeing the latest photo as a status-icon on forumhome would be really sleek.

Being able to define photocasts, podcasts from flickr, iphoto or the next picasa release, people should be ecstastic! It would just make populating the gallery such a breeze.

Hello,

I have questions that may have been answered here, but after looking through 20 pages, I figured it was smarter to just ask.

First you said in one of your ealier replies to a post to make a new template. what would that template be for?
Second, my pics are showing up in a column format and I would like them to go across the screen and to display the info I want like your screen shots. What file do I edit?
Third, is it possible to pull the featured over to the index page?

Thank you,
Ella

Very cool, but I won't be able to use unless there is an approval function for mods/admins (this way people don't upload porn etc.). Are you planning on this? Many many thanks :)

Use your vbulletin-settings for this.

@all: i have three weeks holidays now, so i have a plenty more time to work on the gallery. So, expect more soon.

Hey Harald :)

you will upgrade this hack for vB3.6 ?

@Alan: Yes, i will. I run vBi-Gallery already on Beta 3.6.2 and having no problems.

I just hadn't to much time in the last weeks, that's all.

Just an info: I've started making a kind of member gallery. So you can click on a link in the postbit or in the memberprofile and a new page will open and show the pictures, which has been posted by the user (as a link, so you can directly jump to the post).

For live-demo: http://www.sf-galerie.de

A suggestion u might be able to use.
Use and update a custom profile field with zero\one depending on if a user has a gallery (field has to update upon attachment upload or something). That way, you can choose to search for members with a gallery through the members list.

The gallery admin sections needs a field where you can input the custom profile field number. Otherwise, the query would need a fixed profile field number, which might not be the same for all members.

Another suggestion. Prevent people from using external image links, or make an image attachment a requirement (checked upon posting). I've had several people submit a gallery image from an external site.

hi

i've just installed the gallery in my forum.
i have 2 question or problem :

1. latest gallery submission not showing in user profile
2. can user make a comment at the gallery ??

thank you :)

How do I get rid of the black space that shows up where the thumbnail images are?

please refer to this link for an example:
http://www.currentday.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=87

**Disregard the first image called My Best Friend. That image is not showing up there because the image was not uploaded via the attachment function.

Is this something that can not be changed? If not then is there a way for me to change the color of the black space so that it matches the light blue background which would then give the appearance of not having any extra space around the thumbnail?

I have looked through all the templates but I am unable to figure this out on my own.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Gehanna

This can be removed by changing the CSS-tags.

I'm a little bit out of time today, i'll check back later and help you out of this.

Sounds great! Thanks Harald_T :D

Oh, just a little preview, of what coming next:

http://www.sf-galerie.de/member_gallery.php?u=1

Have fun!

I like what I see! (Especially the Angelina Jolie pic ;))
Can you tell me what I am looking at here? It seems like a gallery without any text beneath the thumbnails, anything spectacular that I'm missing?

it's that members gallary see how it has "u=" in the url?

@Larrysw: You're right. This is the first version i made of this. There are a couple of problems to solve (how to make a page break, and such things), but it is a start.

It shows all pictures the user has posted. But it will take a while till it's finished.
