So just to make sure I'm understanding you, with an unmodified navbar template, using your navtab.xml, the TAB DOES show an "active" state when viewing any of the album or gallery pages?

I do have a tabs mod installed, that may be conflicting... but gosh, I really need that...

I just want to make sure I understand what it "should" do, in the best of circumstances.

I can't see how the tabs mod would have conflicted with your albumall.php navbar (making the navbar completely disappear on that page). Are you sure that part still works fine with your new plug-in, have you tested that recently?

THanks!

The navbar plugin with this product uses a single template hook and will work on any installation that has that template hook in the correct location. Your navtab mod obviously doesn't :) I'm not going to hack around inside someone else's mod so I would suggest that you just add the links to the album/picture gallery PHP files in your navtab mod instead of using the plugin I've provided OR take a look back in this thread for other suggestions on navbar/tab mods.

Yeah, I tried adding it through the NavTab mod instead, problem is the "active" state will only work in conjunction with one PHP file, and since your product uses three different PHP files, the album.php, albumall.php, and picall.php, the "active" state will only show for one of those, and the other two revert back to showing the "Forum" tab as "active", which kinda sucks.

Maybe I need to figure out how to hard code my tabs myself.

But just to clarify, with your mod (and no other navtab mods), the "active" state for your tab button works on all THREE of those page types listed above?

Thanks again for a VERY needed mod! (vB really should incorporate this functionality!) :D

No - this product only has two PHP files - album.php is part of vB. Albums and pictures are part of the forum therefore the forum tab remains lit (as it does when you use the navbar menu).

The template conditional you need to activate the tab will be something like:
Take a look at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=226914 for background.

Thanks a lot! I'll give it a shot. :D

Can you use BOTH of your nav elements together (tab & bar), or do they cause conflicts with one another?

I disabled my tabs mod, and the navbar is magically working right now, but the navtab still isn't showing an "active" state. I disabled your navbar and the nav tab is still not showing an "active" state. Wierd. Back to hard coding. ;)

Thank you for this mod.

Marked installed, motm and rated.

Ok, I completely uninstalled my tab mod and created plugins for each added button per Lynne's tutorial you linked to (thanks!). Now there doesn't seem to be any conflicting code. My nav tab works fine to go to your product page, albumall.php. It stays "selected" for the other "album" pages, as I want. No prob...

Only issue is, that my NAVBAR is missing on those pages. I'm still using your navbar plugin, and when I click on "Forums" the whole navbar, along with your gallery links, show up fine. However, once I click on one of the gallery links, the entire navbar disappears along with your gallery links.

I know that I could just code the drop-down Nav-Tab, but I don't like it. (I don't like ANY drop-down nav tabs, not just yours. ;))

Anyhow, I would really like for all of the forum navbar (along with your gallery links) to remain visible while on your pages. How can I get them to appear as I wish?

Thanks again for taking the time to help! Happy Easter!
:D Jeff

Nevermind, I hard-coded the gallery links into the gallery navtab plugin, and decided that I don't need the rest of the forums navbar on those pages. I'm displaying it more as a separate product from the forums, along with the album.php.

Thanks for your help, and GOOD WORK! This really should be incorporated into base vB!

Voted MOTM... it just makes SENSE!

great and nominated! :)

I am using album and photo ratings. How can I make that show in the gallery. Also the # of picture comments and views?

vB doesn't support picture/album ratings so I assume you are using another mod. It would be difficult to support 3rd party mods.

I don't display comment/view counts because it would reduce the number of images viewable per page.

do you know how to do it? Id like to include it on my site.

You would need to modify the template gallery_picallbit and also make changes to the search functions in picallbit.php to return the comment and view records. Fairly major changes.

Uhm sorry, Im a beginner . What exactly do I need to put in those files? :o

You will need to find/pay someone to make the changes for you if you don't have the experience.

@HCGB

I like your mod. Is it possible to change height or wide to get the whole information in one lane below the pictures? Separated for example

• First ==> Album: "Title of the album"
• Second ==> by: "username" on "Date"

Can you please help me as I am on a budget, thanks.

installed, but when I upload a photo :
"unable to copy or move the file"

folder images/upload
and
images/thumb are 777chmod

We're all on a budget. But if you want someone to spend a hundred hours coding some special functionality, it's going to cost money. When you get some, go to Requests For Paid Services .


That doesn't sound like a problem with this mod. You may even want to uninstall this mod completely while you troubleshoot. Only when you get the basic functionality working on an unmodified board should you attempt to reinstall this mod.

Is there an importer available so we can move all PhotoPost pictures over to vB Albums?

As there's no character limit to album titles, I also see the overrun of text at the base of the album placeholder. So, a quick workaround is to modify the CSS...

In: album.css

#latestalbumcontainer li

Find:
Replace with:
190px I've found is ample on my test installation.

Hope this helps in the meantime :)



Addendum:

.albumlist_entry {
float:{vb:stylevar left};
margin-{vb:stylevar left}:{vb:math {vb:stylevar padding} *2 +5};
margin-top:{vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}*2};
padding: 0 {vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}+5} {vb:stylevar padding} {vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}+5};
text-align:{vb:stylevar left};
display:block;
width:{vb:raw vboptions.attachthumbssize}px;
height:{vb:math {vb:raw vboptions.attachthumbssize} + {vb:stylevar font.fontSize}*{vb:stylevar line_height}*2 + {vb:stylevar small_fontSize}*{vb:stylevar line_height}*2 + {vb:stylevar padding} / 2};
overflow:hidden;
border: {vb:stylevar albumlist_entry_border};
background:{vb:stylevar albumlist_entry_background};
-moz-box-shadow: -2px 2px 2px {vb:stylevar shadow_color};
-webkit-box-shadow: -2px 2px 2px {vb:stylevar shadow_color};
}


Alter the line in red to whatever height suits e.g.
height:190px;

does not work with 4.03...

This product is not compatible with version 4.0.3 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.0.2 / Incompatible with 4.0.3 and greater)

Fine under 4.0.3 :D

May I suggest adding a "Gallery Rules" position to the drop down menu, linking to a posting rules page? Some sites won't accept nudity for exemple, and it should be clearly specified.

Thanks again

Thanks for this.

Feature suggestion: Show random pictures no older than x days.

Problem: Selecting 'new' pictures means the pictures are static with only the same last ~5 pics showing all the time. Selecting 'Random' pics shows pics 5 years old as well as newer pics, with no way to weight the display towards newer pics.

installed on 4.0.1 and is working great

I can confirm this - does not work with 4.03.

To replicate:

• Upgraded forum to 4.03
• Tried to install product-gallery-107.xml
• Error given as above

Further to my previous post, the following work-around got the gallery mod working:

1. In product-gallery-107.xml, find line 10 (<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.2" maxversion="4.0.3" />)
2. Changed 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 (<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.2" maxversion="4.0.4" />)

dont need it, but rated 5 stars for being an awsome mod!

good work, tested on dev board, works.

Getting the following error when trying to install on 4.0.3 :(

The following dependencies were not met:

1. This product is not compatible with version 4.0.3 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.0.2 / Incompatible with 4.0.3 and greater)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You works great...

Seems to have some issues in 4.0.3, pictures and the frames they're set in aren't flush, text is cut off and the pictures extend past their frame. Tested in IE8 and FF3.6

Seems to work fine in 4.0.3 for me with no changes necessary (in Safari 4).

Scratch this, this seems to be an error with vBB in general and not the mod. I just did a test upgrade against a clone of my 3.8 forum and maybe that's part of it.

edit: Mostly fixed by rebuilding my attachment thumbnails.

Thanks! Installed 108 flawlessly on 4.0.3 on http://www.glockforums.org

I have seen my thumbnail too large
from where I can set album picture thumbnail?

ACP>Settings>Options>Message Attachment Options>Thumbnail Size
Set your size (default is 100)

Then run the rebuild...
