calorie -

i installed this mod on my test 3.5.3 forums and everything went fine.

I created a category and I am trying to upload but i am not getting anything, the pic does not get ulploaded

I changed the permissions on the admins and users not logged in /unregistered.

I have chmoded the "images" folder to 777 and checked and re-checked the paths, they are all correct.

TIA and nice mod sir

i found out it was this in my site root:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.sportsrant\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.sportsrant.com/$1 [R=301,L]

is there a way to modify that so it works, if not, no big deal

also in IE, i am getting image path errros and my config paths are correct, i have double checked those

/me clicks install.

Is there a way to get this to require a category? Not Available by default will mean that about 90% of my members won't bother to pick one.

@andreamarucci: see post557 for how to view a specific user's gallery by the userid

@msimonds: try sto.sportsrant.com/member-gallery/ or see post606 to set your link

@Club3G: see post523 and post526 for how to prevent uploads with no set category

Just a quick question, can users create their own section in the gallery?
I want to use this so users can create their own gallery of portfolio images and do it automatically so their username shows as the name of the catgory.

Thanks, looks great.

How do you set 777 permisions???

[da420]

I have done everything but set 777 permisions or whatever, and I have set the admin group to be able to use and see the gallery. But I don't even know how or where to access it. Wouldn't it be on the navbar, but it's not???

After a few hiccups due to my server playing tricks, this is running a dream now

*k click's install

@ John Diver - All users have their own gallery, that's the way this works. It groups by category and by user. It's like an SQL query where you can view all pics by a user (their gallery) or in a category. Quite neat

@da420 - The authour has requested you use the photplog site for support issues. I did and it's quick response and very helpful. It also doesn't hammer vbulletin.org's resources
