I think that diet-coke is kicking in for some moonlight oil burning.

I installed the plugin, made the 2 index.php edits, and got a database error. Any help?

I took a look @ your site and did not see the gallery installed.
- This is a hack to pull images from the gallery, not the gallery itself.

If you do have the gallery installed and I missed it, what was the error ?

Ah. Well, I was trying this on a test board, so you wouldn't see anything...but that being said, you're right I don't have the gallery installed. Didn't realize it was a separate thing. I'm fully up to speed now, so, umm, move along nothing to see here.

hello zach, great hack...

but I've posted this bug several times and haven't gotten a respose. Any chance that you take a look at it?

BUG:
(vb 3.5.3 + latest version of this hack.)

When image order set to "Newest"...

REGISTERED USERS cannot see any new images posted
(only works for ADMIN).

Running vBulletin 3.5.3 and latest vBgallery downloaded for 3.5 off from PhotoPost.

Some user's gallery images work fine and others give:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/smoky/public_html/forum/includes/functions_gallery.php on line 1085

Someone said that it was a " or other charcter in the descriptions.

Got this in functions_gallery.php

        global $vba_options, $stylevar, $vbulletin, $vbphrase, $show, $adv_sorturl, $catinfo, $counter, $cellwidth, $categoryperms, $showfields, $categorycache, $catopts, $bbcode_parser;

And

$images['description'] = $bbcode_parser->do_parse(stripslashes($images['description']), $catopts["$images[catid]"]['allow_desc_html'], $catopts["$images[catid]"]['allow_desc_smilies'], $catopts["$images[catid]"]['allow_desc_bbcode'], $catopts["$images[catid]"]['allow_desc_bbimgcode']);

Also got this done:

        'smiliecache',
        'bbcodecache',
        'gallery_c_cache',
        'adv_gallery_opt',
        'gallery_ugroups'

Still, some users images work fine and some give the above error. I've been chasing this all over the web via google, but no thread ties it together. This thread appears to be the most current.

Anyone figure out how to strip from the photo description what ever ASCII character is bugging this thing?

My board is live now so I'm not all that anxious to install and get DB problems again.

I love the mod and am dying to get it on my board.

Zach...can you help?

Do you have vBGallery installed ?
