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

I would personally go with 4IMAGES gallery. Its alot more pleasing to the eye and has a TON of more features than Coppermine. I removed my integration since I dont really need Guests uploading. I created my Staff Accounts manually and set uploading on Admins only and everything else is set to ALL.

I will stick it out with 4IMAGES 1.7 for now until a login fix is made. However 4Images 2.0 is said to be almost completed and it will feature complete VB3 compatibility.

Even though the support kinda sucks over at 4homepages.de its still the more superior script. The LightBox just makes it all worthwhile.

you can download it from a beta site here http://come.no-ip.com/4images/ links at the bottom along with the copyright, note its only for new install's and you have to edit the config file yourself and make the database via the mysql file and in the zip because the installer dont work, well did not for me.

the 1.7 hack for vb also dont work on it, more edits are needed but i have mine working now as you can see from here http://www.lisascottlee.com/gallery/ but a mate did the edits so i dont know what they are.

Find this code
========================

$name = COOKIE_PREFIX . $name;

========================

The replace is
=====================
if ($name != 'sessionhash')
{
$name = COOKIE_PREFIX . $name;
}
=====================

OK

There's no "$name = COOKIE_PREFIX . $name;" in the includes/functions.php oO

vb 3.0.0 gold is set in this mode, but the problem was here:

It seems that people are logged in then when they click something and the page reloads it logs them out.
