vB iGallery (XML Based) + vB iGallery V2.02

If you like this Modification recommend it for MOTM and remember to Click INSTALL for future updates

13th August 2008 - vBulletin 3.7 Bridge Released: Download is now available
vB iGallery V2.02 now available.
More features and very easy installation, optimized and brand new User Guides - also added the fully layered PSD to design your own background images. Demo V2.02: http://www.digitalport.co.uk/digital/vb_igallery.php

Revision: 1.01(XML based Only)

vB iGallery 1.01 (XML based only) requires no database to function
(see V2.02 below for full vBulletin bridge to User Albums)

about:
vB iGallery is an XML based gallery, therefore uses no database queries. It uses Papervision3D flash technology, giving you a unique 3D gallery Xperience. Fully tested on default and custom styles, and cross-browser compatible. Coded to work with vBulletin's DHTML menu system, to stop menu's dropping behind the flash object.

This XML version uses it's own album directories - it is not integrated with vBulletin 3.7.x user albums yet. However, this will be done in a future update.

Features

3D Gallery in a virtual world
Controlled by mouse and keyboard
Various Zoom features
Spinning Gallery - mouse controlled
Zoom in/out of gallery globe - mouse or keyboard
Tooltips available on all images
Descriptions show on full image display
Override attributes - we list more soon

Installation
Full installation instructions are provided in Word and PDF formats, within the download package. Easy install requiring uploading of files/folders and one template edit.

User Guides
English and French User Guides available. French translation by Sofia - Many thanks!

Copyright
All images used in the example album have been used with the contributors permission. Please do not remove the copyright in the footer of the gallery page, instructions on removal are in the documentation.

LATEST RELEASE Updated to v2.02 - Package updated.
Main vB iGallery file was a development version. Alignment issues fixed. Multi-line Caption/Description field moved and fixed. Domain issue fixed.

vB iGallery v2.02 (Dynamic bridge to vBulletin 3.7 User Albums)
Download it now, it's bridged to use vBulletin 3.7 User Albums - allowing easy population of iGallery. No XML to edit or to configure. Completely recoded and optimized. FULL documention within download package, in Word and PDF formats.

IMPORTANT (Affects version 2.0 only)
Some users have mentioned images missing from Profiles and Albums after installing this modification, the images have not been deleted they simply require a rebuild. Please do the following after installing this modification.

Go to your AdminCP -> User Albums -> Rebuild Thumbnails then click the 'Rebuild Album Picture Thumbnails' button.
This will fix the thumbnails not showing after installation. User Guides will updated to reflect this issue.

Additional Bonus Background Package (v2.0 & v2.02 ONLY)
5 New backgrounds have been added for you to download - these have been designed using the supplied PSD template within the Tools folder of the vB iGallery v2.02.

AUTOMATIC UPDATE NOTIFICATIONS
If you receive another notification about an update within the past 12 hours, this is auto-generated by vbulletin.org if the main release post is changed. I have made a few changes to this post due to some confusion between the 2 versions available. Please make sure you download the correct version for your forum.

Keep your Flash rolling

Thanks...

You'll find my work all over the net - most of it is custom for corporate websites. I do have a few products which I'm hoping to release this year, but these are specialized and I've not seen anyone else do what I'm about to do in flash.

AS 3.0 has allowed features that could never be done before, so really its been a godsend - I know many people think AS3.0 is harder to use with its very different syntax to AS2.0, but it does allow much more to be done.

vB iGallery is basically achieved using the Papervision3D engine, obviously now this will become dynamically populated via PHP, allowing even more versatality to be introduced. 'Bridging' it as a frontend for many gallery scripts, will make it very popular by the requests I've received so far.

Thanks for being gentle.

I actually did create the link ... but it leads to a "page not found" error. Has me wondering if I screwed up the file upload somehow, although it looks right to me.

I'll keep plugging away.

Hi noosphere...

The vb_igallery.php file should be located in the same directory as your main forum, this is classed as the forum root.

Regards.

Thanks.

sorry for my english

what i meant : is it possible to use the members avatar, to show in the vb iGallery rather than vb users album ? You did say that you're going to integrate this with vb user album ?

This could be done using a different database call and sort. I would have to segment routines to allow more images to show, or add another feature.

i really am not sure how to change pictures.... please help!

basilrath · #58 07-15-2008, 04:20 PM

the images are easily changeble via overwriting the existing jpgs that you have already uploaded.............

in other words rename your new images to the existing and overwrite keeping sizes etc......

Greetings, sir. Looks like you have a winner on your hands. Kudos.

Think I got it ... won't know for sure until I get home this evening and off this work computer with no Flash (boo security), but the page is now displaying (with "Alternative Content" and the "Get Flash Plug-in" button) at least so I think I'm on track as long as I've not royally effed the image paths.

On a personal note, best wishes for a quick & painless recovery!

thanks- i really like this mod- it looks great...

also-- do they have to be resized before upload?

apologies in advance for what may be silly ??'s!

basilrath · #61 07-15-2008, 04:28 PM

you have to change your thumbs as they would be the ones that came as standard

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
