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.

Are you sure you re-downloaded the .zip file and re-uploaded the XML file with overwrite on, and not just modified the files?

No files were changed in this patch.

Absolutely I did.

The only thing I can think of is Cloudflare is blocking it or some part of it though it shows the template being merged, etc.. I will try it tomorrow morning without cloudflare and see if that helps.

Thanks

[RichieBoy67]

Turns out it must have been cloudflare.

The only issue now is that it will run through pages and pages importing images but eventually it just stops. I have probably 100,000 images or more that need to be imported.. Any way I can import via command prompt?

There's no command line importer at this time, sorry.

There shouldn't be any timeout issues since it only imports a small amount of images at a time. The importer will stop on its own with an error message if it fails to import one or more of the images, but you will have the option to manually proceed to the next page. This is working as intended.

i wonder if it could be related to php version? i am working on a project right now that sounded similar and we are trying to find a way to get it all together...they have an older version of pp pro which was running on php 5.1...which of course vb4 does not like, so i think for a next try we might attempt running a 5.1 docker on gallery, and hopefully the importer will run properly....fingers crossed been on this one for a minute now

does this not work with the seo product you have ? All my gallery images just have regular names not nice html names like my pages, thnks

[dgparent12]

What I was hoping is that the url would be SEO friendly since I am also using your SEO plugin

mine look like this

dbtgallery.php?do=view_image&id=2125

not this

gallery/[instance_name]/image/[image_id]-[image_title].html

Like it says in the Gallery URL section of the SEO control panel - so the image title is not showing

Are you sure you have the latest version of both products?

Just a caveat for others....

I'd be real careful with this mod..

Downloaded [DBTech] DragonByte Gallery v1.3.4 [Lite] from DragonByte site to test on vBulletin 4.1.3pl8

Uploaded files and imported XML...

Hung after updating various styles (hidden for site privacy in pic) and there never was a "finished" message. Note the odd character shown in pic after comment 1.2.3. I've seen this before in some of their other products and it may be a similar issue I reported and was acknowledged here, which is still not fixed... It seems to have the same last couple of characters hanging out there..

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=153

Member Map Geolocation
_lat = 0 AND dbtech_membermap_lng = 0"); log_cron_action(vb_number_format($done), $nextitem, 1); ?>

Done

The result was that the install blew up our entire site and the garbage shown in the other pic started appearing before home page display on main web site and within AdminCP ahead of showing installed mods. ....

Fortunately, running un-install hopefully removed all of the additional tables this thing installed in our database, following which I manually removed all of the uploaded files.

Site seems to be running normally again.... :up:

Regards,
Doug

This is what will happen if the install is attempted either before the files have been uploaded fully, or files have been uploaded incomplete. What you are seeing is PHP files being parsed as plain text.

If someone reports installation issues, I always offer to install the product for them if they can't get it working themselves. Would you be able to link me to your support ticket @ our site?
I would imagine any reasonable person would ask for support before deciding to post "warnings" about a product that seemingly installs fine for everyone else, so if you could link me to your support ticket I'd be happy to investigate why it wasn't resolved to your satisfaction.
