4images Gallery 1.7

A lot of people, both here and at 4homepages.de have been requesting for a mod/hack that would integrate vBulletin 3 RCX with 4images 1.7 lately. The solutions are scattered around the forums, but nobody has it all in one page.

So I've decided put them all togather, and release it, so it will be easier for people to do the intigration successfully.

Please note that all the codes in this hack/mod are property of Jan and mtha.

I have tested this on vBulletin 3.0.0 RC3 and it worked successfully.

Features:

• Uses your existing vBulletin powered forum's login account for authentication.
• Uses your existing vBulletin powered forum's whos online feature
• Can be modified to display any information from your existing vBulletin database, perticularly from the "user" table, which means you can display any information about the logged in user.
• Since it is integrated with the database, you can display any gallery information such as latest picture, how many pictures a member have submitted etc... on your vBulletin powered forum.
• Extra modifications can be found here

Digital Eclipse... if its not UPLOADING thats an ISSUE with your host. You cant have SAFE MODE on your server. ASK YOUR HOST. This integration is nowhere related to the uploading feature.

So -- don't name pictures with apostrophes -- I don't mean the file name (because that's pretty obvious I hope) but I mean in th application itself. Apostrophes will take down the entire gallery. It's back up and except for being logged out of the admin whenever someone else logs into the website, it works.

I can't get this hack to unzip, it says curropt file or something another. Also how stable is it, is anyone working on trying to get it to work 100%, and are there any other Gallary hacks out there?

I think there's something wrong with the attachment table...

I can't get any zips to work from vB.org....

Right now the integration works just fine, however the cookie has trouble holding when the browser is closed. Either you have to install the gallery into your FORUMS folder as well as the SAME Database as your Forums, or you can use my VERY CHEAP way of getting around it. Ill release it very soon and it will work to keep the cookie active in the GALLERY.

Ill keep you guys posted. Keep in mind... its a VERY cheasy way to do it but it works for me and no one is the wiser.

In your main site.. or in your 4 Images Templates it will keep your cookie alive because it will keep a constant connection to the Forums Database. I have placed my hack on my front page so if a member does come to the site to check out my gallery he is already logged in via that hack of mine. Its a cheasy way to get around it but no one is the wiser.. heheh. works for me.

Has anyone managed to include any templates from within VBulletin into the 4images templates, as I can't manage to do it with includes (I get an error about redeclaring something)?

Do you know the exact portion of code that makes it work, and I will modify my hack

Ever since I installed this hack, I can't login to the login fields on the forum home page. (In the navbox)..

I put my name/password in and it goes back to the default "Username" in the name field.
Any ideas why? It's rather annoying to have to go to "post a new topic" to login correctly..
Thanks,

Hi, I just install this hack in my gallery and my forum working fine. But I have 1 problem and I can not fix it. Like when you login the gallery right. I saw there is 10 members online in gallery and on the forum also, but after one min, there were zero members online on both gallery and forum. Then few min after that, it shows 10 members online again. And it just keep doing this again and again. Is anybody have this problem or know how to fix this. I need help on this one. Thank you very much.
