[PXL] PP Round Thumbnail Overlay v1.2 · **Released**: 10-24-2006

PP Round Thumbnail Overlay v1.2

I've added this to a number of my sites, and thought I'd share it with members here. It's been a long time since I contributed back to this community so I wanted to start with this.

What does it do?
Basically this creates a round overlay box around all tumbnail images in your vbulletin intergreated & photopost vbgallery. I'll be working on a number of upgrades to this template hack.

Waits, for this. Pixel, when will you have this new release out?

PixelFx · #14 10-30-2006, 07:38 PM

I'm revamping my pixelfx.ca web server, when I get that done and latest code on it, which I'm in the process of doing, I'll be releasing an updated version of this to make sure I didn't miss any bugs, I'll also be adding more area's with overlay support.

Its kinda work in progress, I'm working on a new hack called vbProfile v1.0 which is a full rewrite of the profile system as well .. so I guess eta would be soon *blinks*

Clayton · #15 10-30-2006, 07:47 PM

get well soon

PixelFx · #16 11-01-2006, 08:27 PM

Updated hack to v1.2 with a number of new features, and cleaned up psd's/changes/optimizations etc.

Kihon Kata · #17 11-01-2006, 08:45 PM

Do you have to have:

- Plugin Forum Home
- Plugin User Profile

?

PixelFx · #18 11-01-2006, 08:49 PM

Those Plugins are part of Photopost vbGallery 2.1, however if you are using earilier versions of PhotoPost vBGallery 2.0 and below, Zachariah has made a number of addons at Photopost.com and on this site for Forum Home Addon, and User Profile.

I'll update links to those hacks shortly.

if your running 2.1, then in your admincp for vbgallery, there is section called "Modify Add-Ons" this has place for you to turn on your profile images, and forum home images.

as for the other script you mentioned, I don't know as I haven't used it.
