It really makes me sick when people put up these seemingly cool hacks. But never give proper instructions for people who don't do this everyday!

I didn't see a file call init.php to edit. Does that mean to open the folder and edit the files that are "in it"?! Also the instructions don't say what directories the files should go.
Please excuse my frustration, but I have been working on my board day and night for two weeks straight, and when I don't have easy to follow instructions for mods, that just makes my day even longer.

I give myself some credit for the things I have accomplished, because I literally just picked this up two weeks ago. But most of you guys give instructions that assume a person has prior knowledge, and understands all the tech talk, and jargon.
That's like giving a person a can of paint, and saying...OKaaay....run along now, and go put a new clear coat on your Mercedes!

connect to your server, navigate to the INCLUDES folder and download the INIT.PHP file inside that folder and open it in wordpad or notepad and edit it as it says.

Then upload it again back to the INCLUDES folder.

Folder: includes
File: init.php (Inside "includes" folder)

I installed it last night and it worked perfectly, mine was a new install since its on a test board. I added the requiered code to below like said in the instructions.

================================================== =====
Edit: php file|
================

**** If you have made this edit before from a different vBgallery hack you can skip this step.

- Edit:
forums/includes/init.php

- Find:
require_once(CWD . '/includes/class_core.php');

- Below Add:
require_once(CWD . '/includes/functions_gallery_store.php');

I dont have any other vbgallery hacks
