Add PhotoPost vBGallery to each forum.

This hack will allow you to select what catagories from vBGallery to display in a film strip format under the $navbar. This will show in every thread of the forum as well.

/* Tested: PhotoPost vBGallery 1.0.2 + vBulletin 3.5.4

DEMO
Subject: Science
Forum: 780
Gallery Catagories: 4,20
----------------------------------*/

Each forum extra options:

** Add vBgallery images on this Forum

- Image Count:
(How many images would you like to show ?)

- Image Order:
(Enter 1 for newest, 2 for most viewed, 3 for most comments, 4 for highest rated, 5 for random.)

- Select Catagory(s):
(Here you can list catagories you wish to show images from. EX: 1,10,20)

- Show Imagebit:
(Title, Description, Rating, Username, Views, Dimensions, and more.)

1st post FAQ

- Show Imagebit:
(Title, Description, Rating, Username, Views, Dimensions, and more.)

This works @ the moment like an On/Off switch per forum. With the current development of the hack there is not a choice of custom Imagebit setting per forum. You can however edit a core plug-in and change what fields show. This setting will show on all forums that have Show Imagebit enabled.

I have not created a new adv_gallery_imagebit
- gallery_columns is still linked w/ main gallery.

looks nice :D

I like this one, is there 1 I can use on the center, left or right side of forum yet?

The left / right sides of the forums is only on the showthread.php and forumdisplay.php or is it site wide ?

What are you trying to do ?

great addon Zachariah! thanks alot for it.

Thanks Zach

Going to give this a go :cool:

excellent hack.. but can't we make this step easier.. i mean i always add new categories.. i really do'nt want to go through 40 forums to update them one by one.. :bunny:

isn't there another way of doing things.?

1)
When you create a new forum you have the option to add the gallery catagories at that time also.

2)
This is to add select image groups from the gallery to select forums.

EX From DEMO link:

In the a forum we talk about Science and the images that show are from 2 science catagories in the gallery. This could work on any subject (forum) that you need image interaction.

3)
What did you need or have in mind ? :)

/me clicks install

This is a great mod and my users are loving it.
