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.

How can I remove the blank between a thumbnail and the information in gallery home?

Did you white out some of the other images? It should size the outer box to be the size of the largest image. It does it that way because the layout would look really screwed up with different size boxes all around. I'm working on making the image more centered so it looks better in the box.

Favorites is a pro only function unfortunately

I don't know what happens with my gallery, I uploaded some images already but later I can't upload and I got the message
"File path is not writeable. The script does not have access to write files to the correct directory. Please report this error to your site administrator."

Did you change the allowed thumbnail size after images where already in there? I'm working on a script to regenerate those after an allowed size change.
You think I should resize them or just center the image vertically?

I'll set up an admin/pass if you need it.

Thanks, I replicated this locally. I have it fixed, I'll upload a new release probably later tonight if I get another problem fixed.

I just released 1.0.3 which fixes the following:

Fixed - must enter description when editing image
Fixed - ajax not submitting all images as active
Fixed - Front page latest album error
Fixed - "File path not writeable" on upload

The ajax not setting images to active might not be 100%. The problem is that the page would forward to your profile before all the ajax submits were complete. To fix this for now I added a timer which will wait 1 second per image before going to the profile. Some slower forums might need to bump that up a bit. I'll probably redesign how it works in the 1.1 version.

Let me know if you run into any other issues

hi there im havin this problem on vb 4.2 mate

The installation script created the folders for the default instance but the directory is not writeable. You will need to fix the permissions on the folders for the product to work correctly. Please check the permissions on the dbtech/gallery/images/upload/ and dbtech/gallery/images/upload/1 folders. Once you fix the permissions you can verify that future instances will be created correctly by checking the Image Upload Path in the ACP settings Gallery Image Options area. This is also the location that needs to be changed if you want to modify the file location.

i did modify the permissions but still the same problem any help thx.

Did you set those folders to 777? If you are sure they're set right I'd need ftp/admin access to troubleshoot.

I'll work on getting them centered so they look better in the box. I don't want to resize them though. If you upload a normal image and a small one, like a regular image and a small 20x20 icon, the small image's thumb would look really pixelated and distorted.
