Latest Album Pictures - Forum Home

It shows the pictures added to the albums on the main page. It shows only the public mentioned files. If not shows the reasons are: vbulletin settings show albums must be enabled.

The user grup that owns the pictures must be enabled show picture setting. Or there is no picture to show.

You can show the pictures in 4 different sections: Navbar Bellow, Forums Above, Forums Below, Whois Online Below

Additionally you can slect the number of pictures that can be shown.

Hope it works for you as I like it very much.

thanks

I came back with just the intent of saying thanks again for this and to report absolutely no problems with it, but some are asking questions I think as a user, I could help out with.

Yes it requires VB 3.7's album feature. It looks for images in albums either randomly or shows the latest pics uploaded. When the user returns to the index page it refreshes the pics being shown, or whenever the index page is refreshed from the browser. I have mine set for random so when any one goes back to the index page or refreshes from their browser, they get a new set of pics to gander at. And the thumbs are clickable. Click on the image and it takes you to the full sized image in the album.

Follow the instructions for installing this. It's a walk in the park. Even for a non coder type like me.
Once installed, open the vbulletin options menu and select vbulletin options. Scroll down the list to the very last item. Open that. That is where you set the position of the display, whether random or latest pics uploaded to albums, and how many to show at one time in the display. Mine's set to 5. It's balanced. The middle pic is in the center and the other fan out left and right neatly. I think 9's the limit but at my place it looked too busy.
Also you can turn the feature on or off and set user collapsible display box.

Some have said it grabs pics out of private albums. I haven't seen mine do that.

Set it like you want it then sit back and enjoy the responses you get. It's a nice touch to forums that are image oriented like mine. It's an attention getter with out going off the deep end. Now if it was just ported over to work with vbadvanced's CMPS, I'd be really happy. If you want to see it in action: www.animeappeal.com

That would be awesome. I would definitely make a donation to the person who can make a VBA CMPS module out of this.

Wait. It's already been made!!

great mod, clicked installed

I have one issue with it though.

When a member creates a album category, then places images inside that category, your product will show the category even if it doesn't have an images to represent it..

Let me know if I need to explain more.
here is an example
I currently have this product enabled here
http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/
and we have a member that has a category made and 2 images inside
http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/memb...ck-albums.html
this is the area your app is pulling from and there is no image to represent it
http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/memb...-my-stuff.html
so it's the album title sections that I would like to remove

thanks

great mod....marked as installed....thanks

Loco. M
Set it for latest and I'll bet it'll stop that. Random has it to just keep looking at all albums over and over. In latest mode it just shows what was posted last.
Are the empty albums connected with a social group?
