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.

Change Editor Image Link to No and it should work ok.

Hmmm... strange, I to run 4.2.0 PL3 and I have never experienced that issue using this mod.

[BadgerDog]

I've started some testing...

Looks like a really nice professionally done product so far....

I have a question ..

Without a manual, I've started learning the hard way, so I created a Category within the main Dragonbyte Gallery and then added a single album with a picture uploaded (via Internet) to that album. It worked fine, so now I wanted to test it's apperance in a post using the 3 link options provide..

Direct Image Code:
BBCode Image Link:
BBCode Image:

Direct Image Code: worked fine and a link to the image appeared.
BBCode Image: worked fine and a full size pic of the stored image appeared.
BBCode Image Link: Nothing shows?

Here's the code the gallery shows: xxx's for privacy

[url=http://www.xxxx.com/dbtgallery.php?do=view_image&id=1&gal=gallery][img]https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2013/03/31.jpg[/img][/url]

I expected the latter to show a small thumbnail, which when clicked upon, a larger zoomed pic would show, but nothing appears in the post at all?

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks ..

Regards,
Doug

Edit: Update When I simply try to show an IMG of the thumbnail using the code above:

[img]https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2013/03/31.jpg[/img]

I get this error:

Not Found

The requested URL /dbtgallery.phpdo=gallery_image&id=1&gal=gallery&ty pe=thumb was not found on this server.

Another Edit: I figured it out... there's a problem with the code generated by the mod for BBCode Image Link element. It shows "/dbtgallery.phpdo=gallery_image" when it should show "/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image". It's missing the ?. When I add that manually to the code created, the thumbnail then appears in the post.

[BadgerDog]

Couple of more anomalies I can't figure out...

Editor Image Link
If set to Yes, a link to add images from the users gallery will be added to the post editor.

I have this set to YES, but nothing appears in the post editor?

Allow post images to be added to gallery
If set to yes, this will allow the users to add images to their gallery when they are making a post.

I have this set to YES, but nothing appears anywhere in the post editor to permit a user to add an image?

Thanks for any feedback ...

Regards,
Doug

Love this MOD and playing around with it on my test server.
Considering the PRO version for sure as I like the additional options a lot.

I couldn't find anything regarding a couple questions I still have:

Using vB 4.2.0 pl3

* Can I disable the standard vB albums after importing all images into the dB gallery?

*As of now users see the vB albums in their profile settings. Could I remove this section and replace it with the dB gallery block?

Thanks for any help

[Astyanax]

Where do I translate the tab in CMS from "Gallery" to "Galleri"?

[BadgerDog]

Anyone able to help out with any of our issues?

Thanks..

Doug

With the Editor there are a few settings that could affect it. I'll just have to run through the gambit and see if I can replicate it heh.

Thanks for catching that, I'll fix it in the next release. If you want to fix it manually for now, open dbtech/gallery/includes/class_core.php

Find

PHP Code:

        if ($type == 'link_bbcode')
        {
            $file = '[url=' . self::$vbulletin->options['dbtech_gallery_urlpath_text'] . self::$vbulletin->options['dbtech_gallery_filename_text'] . '?do=view_image&id=' . $id . '&gal=' . $gal . '][img]' . self::$vbulletin->options['dbtech_gallery_urlpath_text'] . self::$vbulletin->options['dbtech_gallery_filename_text'] . 'do=gallery_image&id=' . $id . '&gal=' . $gal . '&type=thumb[/img] [/url]';
        } 


replace with

PHP Code:

        if ($type == 'link_bbcode')
        {
            $file = '[url=' . self::$vbulletin->options['dbtech_gallery_urlpath_text'] . self::$vbulletin->options['dbtech_gallery_filename_text'] . '?do=view_image&id=' . $id . '&gal=' . $gal . '][img]' . self::$vbulletin->options['dbtech_gallery_urlpath_text'] . self::$vbulletin->options['dbtech_gallery_filename_text'] . '?do=gallery_image&id=' . $id . '&gal=' . $gal . '&type=thumb[/img] [/url]';
        } 


That should fix it
