If you like this Modification recommend it for MOTM and remember to Click INSTALL for future updates

13th August 2008 - vBulletin 3.7 Bridge Released: Download is now available
vB iGallery V2.02 now available.
More features and very easy installation, optimized and brand new User Guides - also added the fully layered PSD to design your own background images. Demo V2.02: http://www.digitalport.co.uk/digital/vb_igallery.php

Revision: 1.01(XML based Only)

vB iGallery 1.01 (XML based only) requires no database to function
(see V2.02 below for full vBulletin bridge to User Albums)

about:
vB iGallery is an XML based gallery, therefore uses no database queries. It uses Papervision3D flash technology, giving you a unique 3D gallery Xperience. Fully tested on default and custom styles, and cross-browser compatible. Coded to work with vBulletin's DHTML menu system, to stop menu's dropping behind the flash object.

This XML version uses it's own album directories - it is not integrated with vBulletin 3.7.x user albums yet. However, this will be done in a future update.

Features

3D Gallery in a virtual world
Controlled by mouse and keyboard
Various Zoom features
Spinning Gallery - mouse controlled
Zoom in/out of gallery globe - mouse or keyboard
Tooltips available on all images
Descriptions show on full image display
Override attributes - we list more soon

Sorry, forgot to add .php at the end of the demo url... Fixed now! :)

Looks Very neat ... can you explain in more detail, before I download, where it pulls the images from?

Is it from Useralbums? or separate upload/linking

images are grabbed from vbulletin albums ?

thanks, nice work

It uses its own albums. There is already requests for this modification to be tied into user albums within 3.7.x - this will be done in a future update.

Looks cool, but what we really need is a flash rateme or "hot or not" like mod. Not for hot or not but i have a tattoo site i'd like members to be able to vote on uploaded pictures in their user profile/album and can mark as allow rating or not (and can set in admin cp if default is set to rate) and of course ignores private pictures. And no i'm too busy to make it my self :)

It can be used with any gallery script really - but obviously requires a 'bridge' for each script. So far requests have been asked for the following:

vBulletin 3.7.x user album system
Photopost Pro
vB CMPS block module or page
Photoplog gallery

These will be made available in an update which will integrate it fully with vBulletin - this would include over 30 variations of the gallery, since there is many attributes that can be overrided from the defaults we have set in this gallery.

Yes... open the vb_igallery.php file and find this line of code:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo "<td class=\"tcat\" width=\"100%\">vB-iGallery</td>\n";

That will change the header text of the main table header.

As for vBa CMPS - I will look into this because it modification requires non-standard setup compared to most modules. I think the PHP div container will still function, but I will have to check first.

Would it be possible to edit the "vb igallery-logo" in the top left and to translate or edit the text?

This mod is GREAT!!!!!! -> Nominated!

I could change the way that is displayed. Currently its hardcoded into the swf file, but I could make it so that it would import an image with your own text. That is quite simple to do. I'll look into it a little later. :)

looks really cool. I'm a little confused by the install instructions. I'm nervous about putting files in the wrong place..

Pretty cool, but a lot of edits for discriptions and thumbs. very smooth and seems to work outside the forum as well

Installed!

This will be done by user albums once the vbulletin integration is coded.

I'll make a few changes to this modification in an update. What I'll do is drop all text, (apart from the Copyright) and then allow users to change the background using their own image. This will allow for text, language, logo, background color along with instuctions all to be changed easily.

The height and width is determined by parameters set within the main vb_igallery.php file, however if these are changed at the moment with this version then it will cause images to distort and text to become unreadable. I can redesign the stage (main flash gallery) so it is smaller, but you can still change various parameters to adjust the globe size, etc.

Basically, there is much that can be done with this modification to increase its flexibility and features, I have only documented a few - but I will update this soon to accept more parameters, so its' not so tied just to defaults I have set.

Due to the design, it is possible to change many attributes externally, these include globe glow, colors, camera position, globe shading and many more. What you have with iGallery is a very versatile gallery frontend, and capable of many ways of displaying images. Once I get more time I will document many more features of the iGallery and also make changes to the current one.

I'll start working on it later today... I'm not sure when it will be released yet, because I have to go into hospital for a few days for surgery, but after that it will be released. I would anticipate around this weekend - if not before depending on my current status.

:)

This looks really impressive syrus.xl.

I'll be keeping an eye out on this thread and any developments which follow.

Good look with the surgery.

At the moment the width is fixed at 900px - this is also the flash stage width. With Flash dimensions have to be set correctly within the compiled source using ActionScript. At the moment this cannot be done with this version without degrading the overall look.

But if you still wish to change the width then here's how. You need to adjust the height porportionally in ratio to the width. If you open up the vb_igallery.php in notepad or any text editor then find this line of attributes:

Code:

 swfobject.embedSWF(\"vb_igallery.swf\", \"flashContent\", \"900\", \"656\", \"9.0.0\", \"js/expressInstall.swf\", vars, params, attributes );

The width is set within this line of code to 900 with a height of 656 pixels. You would also need to change the flash Div container which uses the following code:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo "<style>



#flashContent {

                height: 656px;

            float: center;

}</style>\n";

The igallery will automatically adjust itself back to the center because it is already centered within a div align tag.

I will release a new smaller version closer to the weekend, which will allow for external dimension adjustments.
