Hi Dylan

I'm still getting the missing image pic when viewing, no error just no images.

Dave

Yes, I changed the code so it wouldn't break the gallery if you have a missing image. Now you can navigate past it, but it's still there so you can see that it needs to get fixed.

Dylan

I've just been spending the past few hours trying to figure out why my server was suddenly using 4.5GB of HTTP bandwidth a day.
Turns out that a bot had registered and instigated uploads to the gallery. Because the default upload image size is set to unlimited it left me with a rather nasty loss of bandwidth.
Further more I cannot see a way to adjust the bandwidth to lower it to a more reasonable upload size.
Could this be sorted in the next release please?

I'm sorry about the problems :(
Putting a per image size limit wouldn't really work. PHP is server side and it would need to upload the file to check the size, which would use the bandwidth regardless.
The only thing I can think of doing is adding a per usergroup bandwidth limit per day/week. Once they hit the limit they wouldn't get the option to upload anymore. I'll see what I can do about getting that in the next version.

i was looking at another forum and noticed there gallery showed a recent gallery images scroller in the forumhome it looks pretty neat but it was a ipb forum and i was wondering if you could integrate something like this to this mod

ScreenShot: http://puu.sh/Xm0e

I'm working on a slider type block as an option for the forumhome to use instead of the static gallery images. It should be ready for the next version.

Hi Dylan,

Did you ever get around to working this out? Thanks!

Kether

I just can't get the folder permission right i have set all the permission right but i cannot install this product if we are doing something wrong tell us plz

But i will follow this mod till it gets better then try again

i am on vbulletin 4.2.0

ummmm i have a problem

when i try to upload images i get a ton of warnings

and it looks messed up

acp=> goto instance management , edit and put a value in these 4 fields:
Max Thumb Width
Max Thumb Height
Max Image Width
Max Image Height
save and normally work fine now;)

wow, that was simple... thanks a lot

another question

could you make it so that you can set more then what fits in the box and you can scroll left and right

Hi again,

I have permitted administrators and moderators to delete images and can delete others images, but there is no option to delete the image........

all visible options are according to this screen shot:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...6&d=1341057090

can u guide me how to delete an image?

Select the small pencil next to "Fox".

this pencil is not available......

Are you saying it is not working or doesn't exist?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/08/8.jpg

in acp goto Dragonbyte-Tech: Gallery - General Options and change Gallery Layout new style for vbstyle, save, and pencil will appear

There is a problem with editing/deleting other users images. If you set the usergroup settings to Is Admin it will allow them to, but obviously you don't want to do that for non admin groups :)
I should have a new release tomorrow night which will fix that problem.

If you have permissions to do it, you wll have a pencil next to the title on the New Style and an edit button in the top right on the vB Style

Yes, the next version has the option in the settings to soft delete images. If it is soft deleted it will not show up in the browse, search, user profile. The image will still be in linked threads and you can view the image if you directly link to it.

There is a section in the ACP to view the deleted images and either physically delete or reactivate them or obviously leave them alone :)

Dylan

Can you give me a bit more info on why you can't install it? Does the installer give you an error?
If you are getting an error that the upload directory can't be written to try setting the dbtech/gallery/images/upload/ folder to 777 permissions. If that still doesn't work I'd need to get an admin account and ftp permissions to troubleshoot futher.

Dylan

Don't know if this question was asked, if so please give me a link to the right post.

Are there an option to import photos ( more than 12000 ) from photopost photo gallery?

Yes, there is an importer for photopost gallery. There were a few small bugs still being worked out of it when I used it about a week ago. With the help of the DBTech staff I was able to get mine imported from vbGallery without too much hassle. I don't believe they have released the latest version with importer bugs fixed yet, but if I was to guess it would be coming within days.

I'm sure the DBTech staff will chime in before too long on the current status of the importer.

Nice! Thank you bzcomputers for you answer. I've a question for you: you have used both software, what do you think is better Photopost or DB Gallery?

I would say shortly they will be on par with each other and very soon after that, Dragonbyte Gallery will be the leader.

...this is just one man's opinion

Photopost vbGallery
Photopost has been around for years with their product and it has had time to mature and is a pretty clean and refined product now. Photopost works well but can be a little intimidating setting it up and tweaking it to get it the way you want it. On the other side the support for vbGallery I have found to be almost non-existent. If you have an idea or an issue, don't hold your breath on getting it fixed/implemented. Their updates are few and far between and don't expect any new features/additions in the lifetime of your product license - they will most likely not be coming. I believe Photopost became complacent because up until now competition was lacking, especially on the vBulletin side for galleries.

Dragonbyte Gallery
Dragonbyte Gallery is a new product. From it's initial release just two months ago to the current product I think it has come a long way. The initial setup is much more straight forward (as compared to Photopost) and user friendly enough even for a novice. Support is second to none (as is with all Dragonbyte products from my experience). Every suggestion and comment made to them is truly taken into consideration. Their implementation of bug fixes, tweaks and additional features seems to be continual. The only thing that I believe holding Dragonbyte Gallery back at this point is the lack in number of users and good feedback, since it is such a new product. My suggestion is to jump on board and give it a run - I don't think you will be disappointed, this product is going places! Use it, let them now what you like and don't like. The more feedback they get, the better the product we all will get.

Like I said at the top, I believe it is almost inevitable the way things are going that the true leader in vBulletin gallery software will soon be Dragonbyte Gallery.

Thanks for the kind words bzcomputers :)

With that I have a new release heh.

This release adds a number of requested features and will increase the useability of the product. This is a signifigant feature release so consider it beta until it goes gold. I am leaving the 1.1.3 version on here in case someone wants to stick with the stable version until the 1.2.x series is considered stable.

There are a number of configuration items that will need to be done after the installation to utilize some of the new features.

Included in v1.2.1:
Fixed - Left/Right CSS specifications
Fixed - Users with permissions to delete others images not being able to edit and delete images
Added - username to search
Added - sort by username on gallery front page
Added - options to disable links on view image
Added - option to move info to hover text on gallery thumbs
Added - cinema dimmer
Added - enlarge image inline
Added - Instance Option between pagenav with physical page load or nav buttons with ajax load
Added - ACP Setting to use either physical image or hidden link for thumbnails
Added - Add links to Youtube videos with thumbnail and info
Added - Upload image from URL
Added - Ability to upload and display swf and flv flash files
Added - ACP options to select type of files allowed
Added - ACP option to require link to source files for url added images
Added - option to have notifications on comments and new images through vB notifications instead of PM
Added - ACP Setting to have images soft delete so they wont break attached/linked images
Added - ACP option to permanently remove soft deleted images
Added - Icon to popup image selector in post editor
Added - Permissions to be able to manually create nav manager entries
Added - Next/Previous images next to image on view image to ease navigation (optional on/off from ACP)
Changed - Navbit to display Viewing Image: {Image title}

Some things to configure after installation:

**Important** You need to edit the Gallery Instance in the ACP and set the type of images you want allowed to upload. Until you set this nothing can be uploaded.

If you allow users to upload images from a url you might want to specify that the source link be displayed to save yourself copyright problems
Settings -> Gallery Image Settings -> URL Images display source link

You also might want to instruct your users to set their max visible image size. This will set the size of the image when viewing it. This helps on forums that have a fixed width style and users with a low resolution setting.
Gallery -> My Profile -> Edit My Information -> View Image Width

The option to be notified of new images and comments is in the same Edit My Information section

I hope you all enjoy the new version and thanks for the suggestions!

Dylan

Hi Dylan

Getting this error now:
Also the when viewing your pics it's bleeding over on the right hand side, see pic below:

Is their anyway to prevent users from download the images by using the right click option.

Did you edit the gallery instance and select the allowed picture types to upload?

Also, on the image width. It used to be hard coded but I didn't care for everyone having to use the same max width, so I added the option for the user to set their own max width, they need to set it in the My Information section of their gallery profile.

Dylan

You might find a script out there that will dissuade the casual user from doing it, but most of the time the determined user will be able to do it so I didn't put anything in.

Dylan

thumbnails are there, but no image is being displayed when i go to them...

when I view full image, i get the following when the new page loads...
ERROR

I have uploaded all files to the server and imported the xml correctly (twice) i get no errors but am not able to view the gallery

i get this message:
i have allready tried this: https://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/f180...238/#post46598 but it didtn help


edit:
got it! i didtn check the checkbox "Module" -> Gallery in ACP

Yeah got that sussed, Thanks

I have changed the max width settings in My Information, still getting some bleed over. But I am using a smaller screen in work, it could be that?

Dave

Hmm, I was able to view the images on your site, although they do look strange. Could you post a bug thread on our site though? We might need to make changes to a file that doesn't exist on the package distributed here and it could get confusing.

Dylan

I've had some users report the same problem. I can't replicate it on my dev but I made some changes to try and fix it. I'll have a new version out in the next day or two that should fix it as well as a few other issues.

It will have the option for the admin to set the default max width in each style, then the user can select their max width in their profile and then it will compare those to the actual image width and use the smallest of the three.

Dylan

Spot on Dylan, it's no biggie :D

i get this message all the time i upload from acp

How are you adding them? Mass import? import from album or vb gallery?

Dylan

i use both Mass Import and upload via dbtgallery.php?gal=gallery&do=add_image

and get the same results

i am using vb version 4.2.0 Patch Level 2

Did you edit the instance and set the max width/height for thumb/images?

If you did and it's still not working, can you pm me access to check it out?

Dylan

Hi all and hi dylan from Dragonbyte,

I run Vbulletin 4.1.5

i bought the PRO Version from the gallery yesterday.
after fighting a night long to keep the most running well :)

But i have some very important problems to resolve. :(

1. Password protection doesnt work, it works if click on the album yes, but it doesnt work on the pictures out from the album showing at latest pictures gallery home.
When you clickt them you can enlarge it and view it.

2. Add to favorites doesnt work, it still does nothing, counter says 0 after click it and profile dont have any favs saved.

3. cant moderate pictures, if i like to delete pictures from other users i got this message "We are sorry but you do not have permissions to edit this image. Please speak with the administrator if you feel this is an error"
(have set all to yes on usergroup admin options on the ACP)

4. An important option where i wish there is an solution .
Is it possible to link the albums to the VB user profiles like VB gallery ?
Profile visitors have to see if this member has albums up. :cool:

Please its really important, otherwise it was wasted money for me and the gallery is useless. :(

Thanks so much, overall a really nice add on ,
but i hope you can help me with this problems
