Gallery for vBulletin 3.5.X

Gallery-Hack:

This hack is a gallery-system for your forum.

Updated 05/25/06

New in this version 1.23:

- Alternative layout

- Addition for the memberprofile
- multiple picture-upload
- Featured threads

What's still to come?

- Possibility for users, to choose the different layout.

Have fun with the hack.

Is it possible to release a fix to make the edit button show or atleast a brief tutorial on how to fix it It's pretty urgent.

Installed on a fresh vb 3.5.2 and no joy, it works but no images in the showthread etc :S

@Scott: I've fixed it already and will release it tomorrow.

@Jarod: The included file is the latest. Please contact me by PM, i'll see, what i can do.

@Coliab-d: The reason for seeing no thumbs can be a setting on your vB. Please check your attachments-settings, if vB generates any thumbnails for an attachment. And please check, if GD or Image-Magick is installed.

Does this take up excessive bandwith?

For inserting the missing Edit-Button:

In the template "gallery_postbit" find

<br />
<hr>

insert after the <br /> the following code:

<if condition="$post['editlink']">
<a href="$post[editlink]" name="vB::QuickEdit::$post[postid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/edit.gif" alt="$vbphrase[edit_delete_message]" border="0" /></a>
</if>

Now the edit-button is back again.

Harald can I help you figure out a way to allow more than 1 post per
page? To me this hack is better than the other hacks, just because I
don't have to have people posting huge pics in some gallery, and also in the
forums, it's all combined, saving disk space!!!

Outstanding job Herald..

Few things id like to ask, suggest or ask about the hack or the next release..

- Can you create an english and german template file so that we dont have to manually change the phrases?

- Any way to prevent when clicking in the uploaded thread the stretching of images?

- Is this compatible with listing all file types instead of just images? ( i tried with .mp3 and nothing is in the thread)

Thanks again! wonderful job..

@LbSources:

The english phrases will be definately in the next version. I only did a mistake, when i created the phrases, i believe. Normaly, the english versions should be already inside the phrase, but not as the standard-text, i think.

About the stretched images: This is something to be completly recoded, i fear. It will mean that images which are larger than the width of the forum have to be "downsized" for the displayed image. This is the only way to prevent, that smaller images will be stretched.

- The hack itself should be compatible. As soon, as i have a bit more freetime, i'll do a solution for it.

@Yavyb: Feel free! I think, a solution would be, to display the last attached image of the first post.
