Best Gallery Hack?
 

Basiclly I am looking for an extremely stable gallery hack that when clicking on a new thread for it it shows gallery thumbnails similar to where the msg would be and only allows users that are allowed to view that forums messages as in not allowing people to just type in where the image is located in the url etc. Any help would be great.

from what i understood of your post, the best currently available gallery add-on is photopost www.photopostdev.com

While it's not to cheap, I have to agree, photopost is great. :)

I use it as well, there is a vb to photopost integration that has the gallery show up in a forum like display on your vb forumhome page.

Shows, last picture, last comment, and handles permissions very well. For example, if you make a specific gallery category only viewable by x usergroup, in the forumhome hack, that gallery category will only show up for x usergroup. :)

yeah I had a feeling that was my best option. thanks guys.

Hi!

I'm writing a vBulletin 3 gallery addon at the moment. When I've finished it and tested it on my live forums, I'll release it here at vb.org for free.

Slated feaures include:

+ Comment system
+ Ratings system (Maybe)
+ Gallery categories
+ Ability to list items by user, giving each member their own gallery
+ Each user can create a title and description for their gallery
+ Uses the existing forum system to organise gallery items and comments, making it very easy to moderate or set permissions......

Here's a screenshot of the alpha development to give you a taster (no control buttons yet, but that will come)... :)

You always can check OakGallery out. It is found as a hack here and the homepage is http://www.ake.nu/gallery/

Im running tha gallery with 3000+ photos in this adress

Free of charge ...

OakGallery is great, but it doesn't integrate into VB3 (correct me if I'm wrong). That's why I've been writing my own gallery system. :)

I will talk to Åke to fix the vb3-support and hopefully he can fix it some days. He can do the testings against my server.

djnoz, maybe its only to change some stuff in getuser-vbulletin.php to get OakGallery working with vb3 ? Is global.php still in vb3 ? Is the tables like before ? Im thinking of these rows:

chdir($cfgForumDir);
require('./global.php');
chdir($cfgGalleryDir);

$forumUserID = $bbuserinfo[userid];
$forumUserName = $bbuserinfo[username];

I have not upgraded to vb 3.0 yet and cannot test it.

Photopost is great. Not cheap, but great. You get what you pay for.
