Major Features

Multiple Instances You can run an unlimited number instances of the gallery on the same forum with same set of files! Each instance can have a different look and feel to it, and with enough work can have a completely different function because of the system we built it on.

AJAX integration We used AJAX wherever we could to help reduce the page reloads

Automatic resizing and thumbnail creation As long as your server can handle it, the users can upload whatever size pictures they want. The gallery will control the size displayed and stored, and will even create a thumbnail, all automatically. Users no longer have to worry about resizing their images to fit what your forum specifies. If you do not have a server with the power to resize images (GD image library can get pretty memory intensive) then you can set the gallery to reject images that do not fit into your size criteria.

User Albums Users can create their own image albums to organize and display sets of their images. Albums can also be set to hidden and/or password protected. So users who want to have images for only certain friends or not visible to anyone else at all can easily organize them.

Is it a style from here or one you made or one you got somewhere else? I'd like to play with it locally to see if I can find why the drop shadow doesn't work.

Do the users not see the option to delete their albums when they browse their albums? Or they see the option and try to delete and it just doesn't work? I haven't had the problem on my dev system and I've tried it as an admin and normal user.

firefox lets you right click and choose view image but not in IE and a link would be easier.

dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=176&gal=gallery &type=full

I had the view full image option in there before but removed it when I added the enlarge option heh. I'll look at adding it back as an admin option on the next release.

help please

Check the permissions on the folder
dbtech/gallery/images/upload/

That folder and all sub folders need to have permissions for php to be able to make directories and create files. Some servers it needs to be 755, others need 777. 755 is the preferable permissions it it works.

Dylan, they can see the option but it doesn't work. I can see the option to delete their album(s) but when I try and delete them it doesn't work. I have to go to the DB to delete the unwanted albums.

[Smiler2009]

Running VB4.2 and latest DBTech Gallery but cannot get past the final installation step where it tells me to correct the permissions.

Both directories and contents are set to 777
Owner for both is root but I have also tried www-data as it's an Apache server, all to no avail.

Can anyone help here, it looks to be a very nice gallery mod and i'm trying to persuade the wife we should go for the pro version, need to get this working

Regards, Jeff.

Just a question, is there an importer for photopost vb Gallery available, would like to switch sooner or later to DB Gallery Pro....
Would need to import >150 Categories and more than 200k Pics, it`s not a small task!

cheers, Markus

I just checked the installer and it checks the write permissions on the dbtech/gallery/images/categories/1 folder as well. I'll have to take that out of the next version since I'm not really using that directory at this time.

I can't replicate it locally. Does it give any kind of an error or just submits and returns with all the albums? Would I be able to get access to see what's going on?

There is a vBGallery importer. I would definitely test it out a bit first heh. The categories are no problem, but I've never tried with anything close to 200k pics.
