Dont forget to click

Update 03/24/2005
If you get error loging out of album:
in page_header.php, line 110

replace

PHP Code:

"url_logout" => (!empty($url_logout)) ? $site_sess->url($url_logout) : $site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."logout.php"), 


by

PHP Code:

"url_logout" =>(!empty($url_logout))?$site_sess->url($url_logout):$site_sess->url($url_app."login.php?do=logout&u=$user_info[user_id]"), 


Update 10/30/2004
Since meny people have problem with vB usergroup, I've add Usergroups arrays,
Now you can set multiple custom user groups to be USER, USER_WAITING, or ADMIN
By default:

$waitinggroups = array(3, 4); // vB Group should be waiting for moderate. seperate each group by comma
$usergroups = array(2, 7); // Groups that are USERS in album. seperate each group by comma
$admingroups = array(6); // vB groups that are ADMINS in album. seperate each group by comma

Update 10/20/2004
Sincemeny people ignore to config the "VB_TABLE_PREFIX" inconfiguration,I've pull all the prefix into one place, and make STRONGrequest tocheck this one.
If your album works fine, you dont have to update your files.
If you do want to apply the changes, here's where you can check:

constants.php
define('VB_TABLE_PREFIX',''); // your vb tableprefix. vB default is blank
define('SESSIONS_TABLE', VB_TABLE_PREFIX.'session');
define('USERS_TABLE', VB_TABLE_PREFIX.'user');

sessions.php
define('VB_TEMPLATE_TABLE', VB_TABLE_PREFIX.'template');

Update 06/25/2004
Clean up some codes, add some more instructions. Adding constants for Cookie prefix, cookie timeout, album folder ...
If your album works fine, you dont have to update your files.
If you do want to ... work again, just follow all the steps


Update 06/22/04
IF you have "Remember username/password?" problem with album (Album session dont remember your logged in if you go directly to album - installed before 06/22/04)

Edit the attached sessions.php, and replace the VBLICENCE_NUMBER, and upload to your album/include/sessions.php

OR

Manually edit:

In 4images sessions.php

Look for

PHP Code:

 if ($this->read_cookie_data("bbpassword")==$this->user_info['user_password']&&$this->user_info['user_level'] > USER_AWAITING) { 


replace by

PHP Code:

 if ($this->read_cookie_data("bbpassword")==md5($this->user_info['user_password']. 'XXXXXX')&&$this->user_info['user_level'] != USER_AWAITING) { 


CHANGE XXXXXX with your Licence Number, located on top of any of your vB file

NOTE: for those runing into table doesnt exist problem, check your VB_TABLE_PREFIX variable

Table '4images.template' doesn't exist
DB Error: Bad SQL Query: SELECT sessionhash FROM session
Table '4images.session' doesn't exist

DID you read and follow ALL steps carefully as in the instruction file?

if you only do first 2 steps, it surely will NOT work.

DB Error: Bad SQL Query: SELECT template FROM template WHERE title='options'
Table 'rexb2_4images.template' doesn't exist

This means that you DID NOT give the correct table name for table template.
check this one in your sessions.php

define('VB_TEMPLATE_TABLE', 'template');

Table 'rexb2_4images.VB_TABLE_PREFIXsession' doesn't exist

Please DO check your constants.php file for this one:

define('VB_TABLE_PREFIX',''); // your vb tableprefix. vB default is blank

and as it was mentioned in the instruction file:

-------
Step 1.
-------
Edit the included sessions.php
Correct the variables in the Configuration part

-------
Step 2.
-------
Edit the included constants.php
Correct the variables if neccessary.

=> Please do read over the two files and define the variables correctly.

If you have the variables set correct, you wont have the above database problem.


good luck



btw, please DO read over the replies, you will get alot of question answered. Your question was ask and answered in this page:

Thanks for the help. I read most of the replies and I did set the variables to my prefix which is "vb3" I will try again later and hopefully it will work.

Just frustrating at times you know..

Thanks again.

I just into the same Problem and there a small misunderstanding in the Doc.

PHP Code:

define('VB_TEMPLATE_TABLE', 'template'); 


You must enter the Prefix and the Table Name. e.g.

PHP Code:

define('VB_TEMPLATE_TABLE', 'vb3_template');

PHP Code:

// Define here the name of the template database table.
// Normally no need to change.
define('VB_TEMPLATE_TABLE', 'template'); 


The default template name is template, and if you have different name for template table (such as vb3_template or anything else), you are told to DEFINE the name of that template table

Is there any way to transfer a full and functioning version?

I am using InvisionBoard currently, and have 4images integrated successfully with that. But I am moving over to vb3 (from Invision).

I want to transfer the gallery over without having to re-enter all the images - especially al the members since i have nearly 50,000.

Please tell me this is possible!! :cry: aranoid:

[Maniaz]

if you did have your 4images integrated with InvisionBoard, and you have your forum user posting pictures, then this should work fine (theorically)

I did not use IPB nor look at the integration for it, I cant say for sure if it work or not. But I think 4images should have used your IPB user table for users. ... why dont you try to convert your forum to vB, and try the integration (on pre-existing 4images database)? (remember to test and backup first)

Could you PLEASE READ over the posts above? you will find answers.
and could you please also read the instruction files carefully? it seems that you didnt config the files.

I dont mind answering questions, but I cannot answer the SAME question again and again.

Thanks
