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.

Nice mod Thanks

[Davey-UK]

I'm seriously thinking of buying the pro version of this mod, but am a little bit wary of transferring my 2000 or so images from my standard vbulletin gallery into it.
The reason being that vB4 is nearly at the end of its life, and vB5 will be the next step.
My question is, will this mod be compatible, and will it allow for images to be put back into the standard vBulletin user galleries in the future if need be?
Thankyou:up:

[edunite]

Hi

I installed it on vb4.2.2 and there are no errors so far. Couple of Q's

1. Can this option be changed in the lite version? Max Upload Size 24M

2. Can this footer be disabled/edited? It is longer than the vbulletin copyright footer!

I have selected yes to "(Lite) Disable "Runs best on HiVelocity Hosting" Link" but it still appears.

Thanks

Hi Dylan I've installed it but i can't seem to locate the gallery url.

Also it is causing my forum style to break.

Edit: See below.

I really hope future mods doesn't alter tables heavily like this because it locks table and takes around 30 min to import or uninstall for big sites.

[katie hunter]

I really want to uninstall your mod and now i can't.

Uninstalling xml gave me this error ^

Then after i deleted all the files which belongs to this mod, i get a blank page on my site, can't see anything.

Edit: I've re-uploaded the gallery files again but not importing the xml, now i can see the site instead of a blank page but i want to delete the files, i don't want it on my server. I think if i deleted the files again, i will get a blank page.

What should i do ?

I don't want to try install and uninstall the xml product again, it locks my table and takes 30+ min to complete and sometimes it fails, my browser gets disconnected.

_________

I've imported the xml again, but i really want to get rid of this modification, it is causing many issues. These are the entire list of the tables that were created after importing the xml. I presume if i uninstall the product, i will get the same db error again?

http://imagetwist.com/utqjtmizrftc/Capture.PNG.html


What should i do to install this plugin without issues?

Edit: i've installed the xml twice, and override it and now i see the admin side of it and the gallery url etc.. i guess when the table were locked because it alters many things, it did not finish installing completely. This mod looks very risk if i use it and decided to uninstall it in the future, it would cause many problems when it comes to uninstall.

It took 30 min to import the product, then i had to import it again to complete the entire installation. I have no idea what it will do if i try to uninstall it now. what should i do to completely remove it? I am getting db errors like these too

I am trying again to uninstall the xml and i receive timeout. It takes around 30+ min to finish and when it happens, i guess because of the time out the product doesn't completely get uninstalled, what should i do ? This is a very heavy mod for big sites and does alter many tables.

[katie hunter]

After uninstall the xml, i get this db error on my site. I want to safely get rid of it completely.

I also see DBtech admin side in my admin cp, it is not gone but all the links to the dbtech admin cp would give DB errors.

Database error in vBulletin 4.2.1:

Hi, this is what i did after exchanging emails with Fillip (:

After you have uninstalled the product, does the product still appear in the list of products?

If not, try opening another plugin and saving it with no changes made.

Hi Filip,

No the product is not there but i see the DBtech gallery in my admin cp on the left side but all do lead to db errors. This is what is happning now after i uninstalled the xml which took like 30+ min and the browser did time out https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=546

Hmm i think now the issue is gone?

What i did is that i enabled one of my disabled mods, and the templates rebuilt, and the DBtech admin side was gone now, i enabled hook again and now i don't see any db errors and deleted the gallery files.
Is this ok now? So nothing related to DBtech gallery is on tables or the server ?

I can access my site now though without db errors, and hook is enable but i have no idea if something hidden here or there.

Thanks.

[DragonByte Tech]

The crux of the issue was that after uninstall, the plugin cache had not been rebuilt by vB, and editing/saving a random other plugin rebuilt the cache and sorted the issue

I do not show the gallery's link in the navbar. I let user go to the gallery through a link. (abc.com/bbs/dbtgallery.php?gal=qc)

The question is how to add the following menu into dbtech_gallery_home. Data like {vb:raw instance.shortname} & {vb:raw instance.navbar_title} are empty. How to register them?

<a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw file_link}?gal={vb:raw instance.shortname}">{vb:raw instance.navbar_title}</a>
	<ul class="floatcontainer">
		<li><a href="{vb:raw file_link}?do=main&amp;gal={vb:raw instance.shortname}" title="{vb:rawphrase dbtech_gallery_nav_main}">{vb:rawphrase dbtech_gallery_nav_main}</a></li>

		<vb:if condition="$instance[user_can_add_cat11]">
		<li><a href="{vb:raw file_link}?do=add_category&amp;gal={vb:raw instance.shortname}" title="{vb:rawphrase dbtech_gallery_nav_add_category}">{vb:rawphrase dbtech_gallery_nav_add_category}</a></li>
		</vb:if>

		<vb:if condition="$instance[user_can_add_album]">
		<li><a href="{vb:raw file_link}?do=add_album&amp;gal={vb:raw instance.shortname}" title="{vb:rawphrase dbtech_gallery_nav_add_album}">{vb:rawphrase dbtech_gallery_nav_add_album}</a></li>
		</vb:if>

		<vb:if condition="$instance[user_can_upload]">
		<li><a href="{vb:raw file_link}?do=add_image&amp;gal={vb:raw instance.shortname}" title="{vb:rawphrase dbtech_gallery_nav_upload}">{vb:rawphrase dbtech_gallery_nav_upload}</a></li>

		<li><a href="{vb:raw file_link}?do=profile&amp;gal={vb:raw instance.shortname}" title="{vb:rawphrase dbtech_gallery_nav_my_profile}">{vb:rawphrase dbtech_gallery_nav_my_profile}</a></li>

		<li><a href="{vb:raw file_link}?do=add_prof_image&amp;gal={vb:raw instance.shortname}" title="{vb:rawphrase dbtech_gallery_nav_add_prof_img}">{vb:rawphrase dbtech_gallery_nav_add_prof_img}</a></li>
		</vb:if>
	</ul>

The reason I do this is because if I do not show the gallery's link in the navbar, I can not find out how to let user add album and images.

I noticed all my forum's link is changed after installing the add-on. Is it normal?

before it is:
/bbs/forumdisplay.php?8
