Hey MotoUp,
What gallery version are you running ?

[MotoUp]

vBGallery 2.3. You helped me get it up and running awhile back after the upgrade went AWOL.

ya, all the days seem to bur together
- You do not need this add-on as of 2.1+

AdminCP => vBgallery => Modify Add-Ons
- forumhome
- profile

[MotoUp]

Yeah, I agree, the days do run together! LOL

Ah, Okay, I thought this addon added that. Modify Add-Ons. It does work if someone is an admin or Moderator, but none of the regular registered users can see it. Any clue? Guessing it's permissions, but I can't figure out where to change it.

[MotoUp]

UPDATE: When I uninstalled the plugin, the images on the forum home went away, but it is enabled in the modify add-ons section...I'm cornfused.

If I reupload the forumhome_complete from the gallery directory instead of the file from the plugin, then I get an error.

[GoTTi]

i am getting a error with this:

Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/vbgallery/forumhome_complete.php on line 19

[GoTTi]

nevermind

Screwed my board.
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); saved my board.
First time something like this happen to me with a mod. If you don't know what you are doing, stay away from this mod.

I followed the directions exactly.

Once I add the line

require_once(CWD . '/includes/functions_gallery_store.php');

in the init.php I get a database error and all stops.

I then go back in the init.php and rem the line and I get this.

Warning: main(./includes/functions_gallery.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/vbgallery/forumhome_complete.php on line 16

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/functions_gallery.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mightys/public_html/forum/includes/vbgallery/forumhome_complete.php on line 16

I take everything out and all goes back to normal. What am I doing wrong or why won't it work?

[mighty mouse]

Nevermind. I am retarded. I thought this was a gallery. I don't have a gallery installed. Kind of hard to use a hack that adds gallery images to your home page when you don't even have a gallery.
