Template modifications: (if not using TMS)

History:
1.0.0 - first release,
1.0.1 - Fixed the hardcoded URL in template, added TMS template edits to the XML product file,
1.0.2 - Fixed empty albuminfo causing 'Invalid Album specified...' error message when displaying RSS feed.
1.0.3 - Added support to "All Albums" mod; Now allows piclens to be used in members profile

Everything works well now. Many thanks! This is a great looking interface.

It would be great to make this automatically compatible with the All Albums mod:

For now, I have applied the following template edits which seem to do the trick:

1. Edit 'album_all_albumbit'
2. Find the following :

<a href="album.php?$session[sessionurl]albumid=$album[albumid]"><strong>$album[title_html]</strong></a>

3. Below, add:

&nbsp;<a href="javascript:PicLensLite.start({feedUrl:'$vboptions[bburl]/album.php?albumfeed=$album[albumid]'});"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/piclens.png" alt="$vbphrase[view_with_piclens]" border="0"/></a>

4. Save 'album_all_albumbit'

5. Edit 'album_all_album_list'
6. Find the following :

<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - $vbphrase[all_albums]</title>

7. Below, add:

<!-- CoolIris/PicLens support -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://lite.piclens.com/current/piclens_optimized.js"></script>
<!-- /CoolIris/PicLens support -->

8. Save 'album_all_album_list'.

works great for me , simple and easy ! Just what the doctor ordered

[Videx]

Wild. I even broke down and installed TMS. Agreed though, I could tolerate the lack of "all albums" before, but with this, it would really make things nice.

[SSG.D]

Fantastic work!! Installed on 3.8.1 and working great!!

Request addition:
When clicking on a member profile the you have befriended, view his/her albums with piclens as well.
