Version history

• 0.1 - initial release

• 0.2 - security fix (thanks to nic_bck for reporting: http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index...2782#msg132782)

• 0.3 - upgraded to 4images 1.7.7; doesn't let user which is not confirmed his email login into 4images -- only his own CP panel on vBulletin.

• 0.4 - now all default templates from 4images 1.7.7 are bridge ready (modded.zip, newfiles.zip); when user changes his email in vBulletin on the next login it will be updated into 4images also (thanks to Sun); now after user registered at vBulletin his join date will be also transferred as soon as he will come to 4images (thanks again to Sun); tested with vBulletin 3.8.4

• 0.5 - fix for the changed user's email was not actually updated into 4images DB.

• 0.6 - additional condition before change email: user has to have proper vBulletin session so when user logging out of vBulletin and refreshing 4images page his email will not be changed to the empty string (thanks Sun for reporting).

Extras

Users, who already have installed 4images and have users in it, can download userexport.php (attached to post - ue.zip), place it into root directory of 4image after installing bridge and run it from the browser. Existing 4images users should appear now in vBulletin.

Download already modded 4images 1.7.7 archive (attached to post modded.zip).

I use:

4images 1.7.11
VBulletin 4.2.1


In version 4.2.0, everything worked perfectly
Once the update 4.2.1 installed, we do not have access to the administration of the gallery

To have access to:

In the gallery: Config.php

I replaced:

define ('VBULLETIN3_BRIDGE_ON', true);

by:

define ('VBULLETIN3_BRIDGE_ON', false);

The problem is that it give the gallery unavailable to those who are not connected at this change.


Could you help me to know what has been updated to 4.2.1 in VB connection or admin area

After figuring out the correct path for VB, I get a blank page with this error:

Warning: require_once(./includes/functions_navigation.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ....includes/functions.php on line 39

If anyone runs into this issue, you are probably using 4.2.2

I was able to solve it by installing 4.2.0 instead. Luckily it was a new forum with no users or content, so I could just switch. If you already have content, I don't know what you can do. Maybe there is a way to downgrade? On my test server, I just deleted the 4.2.2 files and replaced them with the 4.2.0 files, but left the database alone. Seemed to work without error, so maybe the database didn't change between versions? Might be a solution for some. Either way, using the older version of vB will let you use this mod. Hopefully someone will figure out how to fix the problem, so we can use 4.2.2.

Also, make sure to use the instructions on page 9 of the 4images thread. You need that extra stuff for this mod to work on 4.1.x-4.2.0
