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!

Works great!! Thank you!!

Thanks, Spingo! I'd like to make the albums as full featured as possible since I run a community that does graphics for a living. I hope to see an album search mod sometime (I'm too lazy to write one).

This is a great mod to a great mod!

Cool Spingo! Now how do we make the user's name link to their profile (grin) That would be cool. And to that, if when selecting an album to view, add the album owner's name and link too along with when viewing a photo, something, like "go to user's profile" or "go to all albums by X user." Especially for us non-php types. Thanks, rg sends!

Well, you can quickly link to the profile of the album author by editing the all_albumbit template and changing:

$album[username]

to:

<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$album[userid]">$album[username]</a>

You can tweak the template a bit more if you want to link to other albums by that user - it's the same as above but in this case, you'd link to album.php instead of member.php.

I'm currently fiddling with getting avatars to display too, but I might have to come back to this later as I'm about to head out...

The rest worked, but this change too me to a page that said, "This user has not registered and therefore does not have a profile to view." on every username I clicked on, the url shows up like this, http://www.shotcritic.com/forums/member.php?session[sessionurl]u=25 and for some reason that don't look right.

So I played, as I don't know what I'm doing, what I found worked was this code,

<a href="member.php?u=$album[userid]">$album[username]'s<br> Profile</a><hr noshade width="50">
                <a href="album.php?u=$album[userid]"> Albums</a>

Which generates this page on my site, http://www.shotcritic.com/forums/all_albums.php

I would like to know how to "de-link" the user's name so only the "Profile" and "Albums" links are visible and I'd like to color the font too for the album owner's name (username) I just am not that good as I'm no coder, this was pure luck.

No what would be cool, when folks click on the albums' names and it takes you to that album, if on that page, the albums.php page, that would have that album owners name and link to their profile.

Thanks, rg sends!

I have edited the above post with the all important but missing "$" before "session".

So I don't screw it up, what do I change in this code

<a href="member.php?u=$album[userid]">$album[username]'s<br> Profile</a><hr noshade width="50">
                <a href="album.php?u=$album[userid]"> Albums</a>

so I can keep the user's profile and albums links, also how do I de-link the user's name itself, i.e.,

User's Name (not link)
Profile (linked as in my URL below)
____

Albums (linked as in my URL below)

See how this code displays it on my site now,
