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

Demo:

I'm confused as to why your boards not being available to the public yet has anything to do w/ you not being able to take a screenshot...

I just installed on my test board and after a while got it working, then had to download english language pack because everything was another language Ummm i dont see how it is intergrated with vB apart from using vB's userlogin etc and whos online.

Would be nice if it was actually combined on the forum, for example links too it on the forum, latest pictures on the forum homepage etc.

Charlie just login and go to the gallery and you will be able to upload pics with the same username in the foros

Also I've added another hack that shows the resents images from the gallery in the forums

Any chance of telling us how you got them to show on the forum homepage?

The reason it probably logged everyone out was because you changed the cookie domain. What is the cookie domain now? Are you using subdomains?

What is your directory structure? Like where are the forum and the gallery folders located? Did you change this "http://www.yoursite.com/forums/" line in your sessions.php? And its sessions.php of the 4images folder though, not your vBulletin sessions.php

Demo and Screenshot added.

Alright, I've set up a test gallery. Read the first post for the url . I've also attached a screenshot. In order to post something in the gallery, you have to register at the forums.

But it will look exactly the same as it would look without intigration, after intigration, it just uses different database tables . That was one of the reasons why I didnt set up a test gallery before.

1) The domain does not have a vB license yet, as I havent changed my license url to the new domain from the old domain. I dont want to do anything illigal . And the new url will be kept a secret untill the release date.
2) The gallery uses my new vBulletin 3 style. It looks nothing like the original. So people might look at the screenshot, or demo, and then look at their gallery, and might get confused. Also, I have a lot of mods installed, so it would obviously look different than the default gallery.

Yeah, cause by default, 4images comes with a different language than english .

Well, it is intigrated because it uses vBulletin's login system rather than its own. The structure have been layed out, now its upto you to build the building . You can display any information (like user title, posts etc..) about the logged in user. Since the userid is saved in the database with the picture, you can display many gallery information on your vBulletin. I am planning to add 5 latest picture that a member have submitted on his forum profile and how many picture he has submitted in the postbit. You can do all kinds of stuff like display the latest pictures on vB, show gallery stats etc...

You can find many released mod here: http://www.4homepages.de/forum/viewforum.php?f=15

That is exactly why I didnt bother setting up a test gallery, because in the frontend, it all looks the same

And thanks for clicking install....much appreciated
