Description
Turn your vBulletin Album system to an organized Gallery. Watch presentation!

The basic idea of Scandal's vBGallery is to organize vBulletin Albums AND forum attachments (pictures) to a section with lots of functions (categories, search, latest objects, statistics, menus etc).
Designed for vBulletin 4.2.0 (otherwise you must add the navbar links manually).



Features:
- Categories system for Albums (like Forums for threads)
- Five (5) levels of subcategories allowed
- Album, picture and comment search
- Who browsing Gallery (= Gallery Home, Albums, Pictures)
- Gallery statistics
- Forum attachments gallery (with ability to act it as category)
- Pages: latest pictures - latest albums - latest comments (with feature to turn them to "All")
- "My Comments" feature (display all user comments)
- My Pictures/Albums in "this" category
- Ability to set custom statusicons to categories
- Notifications to users with "uncategorized" albums to move them
- Ability to hide empty categories (= with 0 albums)
- Admincp environment
- No annoying copyright info

Language Packs:
- Deutsch (Sie) - Deutsch (Du)


Installation:

1. Upload all files of folder "upload" to your forum root.
2. Import *xml product.
3. (Important) Open template album_edit and find:
HTML Code:
<fieldset class="blockrow">
add below:
HTML Code:
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['sc_gallery_onoff']">
{vb:raw formdata.catid}
</vb:if>
Done!

Upgrade:

1. FIRST OF ALL: Upload and replace all files of folder "upload" to your forum root.
2. THEN: Import XML product with "Allow Overwrite" to YES.

Who can view vBGallery;
Access to vBGallery has all members who belongs to usergroups with "Can View Albums" to YES.

What if I decide to turn off or uninstall vBGallery;
You are back to Albums without data lose (except the category of each Album - function of this hack).

How could I change the size of Gallery's thumbnails?

vBGallery use the thumbnail size you have set via admincp. To change it go to:
Admincp > Options > Message Attachment Options
... and set your value to "Thumbnail Size"
... afterwards you must rebuild attachment thumbnails at: Maintenance > General Update Tools > Rebuild Attachment Thumbnails

On my download it is called product-sc_gallery.xml. It is not uploaded with filezilla or any other ftp program, it is imported using admincp>plugins & products>manage products>add/import product. You do need to use your ftp program to upload the upload directory contents first.

Agreed, I have the same issue with 4.2.1. If there's a fix for it please post it up. In the meantime I'll just disable the sidebar.

I am also running 4.2.1. I described a fix for the problem in this post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=147. You may consider it too reckless to try, but it worked for me.

I found another small problem in the lightbox.js file. Inside the file I found two incorrect image paths.

Specifically the paths in question are:

/images/loading.png
/images/close.png

and both produce a couple of broken images whenever the lightbox is used.

Our IT person successfully installed this mod. But when I go to the Admin CPanel and under vBGallery by Scandal Manage Categories, it says Error 404 - Not Found. Same with Add Category and List Albums.

I wanted to add another category. For now it's default to Uncategorized only. Please help

Anyone get the "Number of latest pictures" to display more than the default of 25? No matter what I set it to, it never displays more than 25.

Is there any way to display the part of the Gallery in the forum homepage? Like the first forum category is a display of latest photos.
