Social Group and Album Enhancements - All Albums

All Albums 2.5

This hack lets you view an index of all user albums on one page. Looks like a user's index but just has all users instead of just one.

You have to upload the all_albums.php file to your root vBulletin folder. This is the file that you have to access to see all the albums.

ENJOY!

I can excess from Quick Links.

It only adds the link to your Quick Links menu.

That should have done the trick but it didn't. My only guess is the file name containing an underscore _ in it maybe?

Just thought I'd mention this lil minor issue if you'd like to look into it then and possibly provide a resolution or alternative fix to it in the next update or something . Great mod though so far... thanks for all the hard work put into it.

For your homepage, I thought you had to make the edit manually in the navbar template and add /forums/ to the link.

Looking at the image provided, it shows a link on the toolbar.

The auto-template edit only does the Quick Link edit from what I remember from install.

Is it me or is everytime that page loads, the user gets logged out? But when I navigate away from it, it says "Welcome, Robert" again...?

[robertpro2a]

I'm stressin' out. Been searching threw the code all day..can't figure out why it's not recognizing the logged in user...?

[CPB123]

robertpro2a: I'm going to ask the obvious.. have you tried clearing cookies, using different browsers (firefox, ie 6, ie 7) using different computers (home, work, school) to see if the behavior is reproduced across all platforms? It seems to be working fine for me.

[robertpro2a]

Yeah, I have. Maybe it's an install issue...is it smart to install the entire Vbulletin package on the same server but a different sub directory...that way I can test it to see if it works? Because if it does, it may just mean that I have corrupt files on the other sub directory.

Is it possible to hide empty albums for users?
So only the creator can see his emty album.
