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.

Hello,

Thx for this.
I have a question.
we make dvd covers.
3150x2500 / 2500x2500
the covers are to big.
when we put on 800x800 the resolution is when i download it is the resolution very bad..
when we put it on 2500x2500 is de qualitie exalend. only TO bigg..

can you help me.

Thx

The size of the image can be set in the gallery, but if you are using it to host images for DVD covers then you need enough pixels for a quality print, which in turn depends on the pixels per inch of the printer being used.

This is not a problem of the Gallery software but of your DVD printing.

Personally I'd host the hi-res DVD cover images elsewhere and put samples into the Gallery.

How can i display photo in full size? Now in vBGallery i have medium thumb and if i click to photo i have fullsize image with highslide effect.
DBTech Gallery has enlarge option image?
Thanks
Antonio

Sorry we don't currently have a lightbox built into the system. I'll add a request for a future enhancement.

Sorry for my english, I'm french.
Thank you in advance

With a fixed width style like that I'd suggest setting the max viewable width in the style.
ACP->Styles & Templates->Style Manager

Click Go next to Style Variable Editor
DragonByteTechMods->dbtech_gallery_max_width

Do you know if the image actually was uploaded to the server or not? Or was there an error during the image upload?

You could try allowing the larger image and set the max view width in the style.

Here is how to set it.

Hi,

I?ve set all setting but members and guest can?t see the gallery, get a the `We are sorry but you do not have permissions to view the gallery. Please speak with the administrator if you feel this is an error? message

Hi Dylan.
I'm super desperate to have this mode and am planning on the full version.
Can I import all of the images, image views and comments. I think I have over 250k comments and 26k pictures in VBGallery v3.01 right now.
My members are also wondering would it be possible to allow members to arrange albums and or pictures in what ever order they would like.
Sometimes there is a need for this.
An example of this would be if you are uploading a step by step tutorial and the server loads them in a different order than makes sense to the user.
I really, really want this script...

[smarty101]

This looks good just what I want.
Does this mod can be configured so that a line of random images displayed on the forum homepage? or do I need an other mod for that?
Thanks
