=============================================
User Integration 4images 1.7.2 / vBulletin 3.5.x
=============================================

Copyright: ? 2002 Jan Sorgalla
Integration to vBulletin 2.x by Jan Sorgalla ?
Integration to vBulletin 3.0.1 by mtha
Integration to vBulletin 3.5.0 by mtha
Constribution:
Matrixgl for re-organize the hack
d1635d for adding the fix for 3.0.1
all others for comments and suggestions
=============================================
Hack version: 3.5.0.20051117
Compatible with vB 3.5.x and 4images 1.7.2
Translated Versions:
http://www.vbhacks-germany.com/forum...ead.php?t=1969
=============================================
Features:
=============================================
- Use vBulletin's user table instead of 4images.
- Forum's members can access and upload pictures (depends on permissions)
- Forum's admin can administrate the album (unless you do the EXTRA part)
- Display Who is browsing album, in the Forum's WhoisOnline list

=============================================
Changes and modifications
=============================================
4images file to replace: 5 (sessions.php, constants.php,admin/admin_global.php,templates/default/user_loginform.html)

Query to run: 0

* If you do EXTRA part, there're few queries to run, depends on what you want to do.

=============================================
Requirements:
=============================================
- vBulletin 3.5.0 installed and working
- 4images 1.7 fresh installed and working
- 4images and vBulletin are installed to use the SAME database
=============================================
Limitations:
- This is ONLY users integration. NO template/style integration.
- This hack use default usergroup for album level, there're only 4 levels of Guest, User awaiting, User, Admin. See Extra section at the end for other solution
- I didnt look at the "cooke path" and "cookie domain" yet, so it will use the default

=============================================
Notes before you install
=============================================
1. Back up the files before you edit.

2. 4images tables and vbulletin tables have to be in the same database.

3. If you run 4images and vBulletin under different subdomains,
for example http://4images.domain.com and http://vbulletin.domain.com,
you should use the following setting for vBulletin in

"vBulletin Options -> HTTP Headers and output":

#############################
Cookie Domain = .domain.com
#############################

Dont forget the dot at the beginning, and change domain.com to your domain. If you do not do this, you might experience a login problem.

4. If you delete users, you should delete the user first over the Control Panel of 4images
and after that over the Administration Panel of vBulletin.
This is neccessary to delete/modify all user-related data from the 4images database (images, comments, usergroups).

5. Its is highly recomanded that you use integration only with fresh new installations of 4images because of the following reason:
In the 4images user-table User A has the User-ID "1".
After integration 4images will use the user-table of vBulletin.
There, the User A has the User-ID "2" and User B the User-ID "1".
All images, comments and usergroup memberships are now "owned" by User B.

6. Lot of people are getting logged out after a certain period of time. This could be fixed by changing
"Session timeout in minutes" to "0" in the 4images control panel.
==============================================

==============================================
INSTALLATION (read intergrate-4image-vB35.txt for more detail)
=============================================

Step 2. Edit the included constants.php

Step 3: Upload the files in UPLOAD folder to your album directory

Which template do I need to copy? I've tried the header code ... but being PHP it doesn't parse inside HTML ..... what do I have to do to include the header, and will it change the colour scheme of the 4Images in the process?

Thanks, great hack

Works for me, thanks again for this quality hack mtha

The only problems I have are, if I login via the Gallery I'm redirected to the forum's home and not to the gallery and the display of the online users seems to miss some phrases, the users are displayed, but the table head of that table is empty and the text above the user listing is also not displayed :/

@deta: http://www.gerritsforum.de/gallery <- my 4images 1.7.1 gallery integrated with this hack, feel free to take a look at it if you want to see it in action, but it's german...

You may want to check your phrases and templates. My hack doesnt do anything with phrases. you may want to get the latest phrase from 4images, and check your phrase list. (languages/english/main.php)

I'm not sure if you know what you are talking about, or expecting on integration.

this integration is ONLY integrate USER database, so that users in forum can login and post in album. this DOES NOT integrate style/template, so that it will still look exactly the same as the original 4images, if you had it installed.

the screen is attached, if you want.

2005.10.19: bug fix:

For those who download the file before ... NOW, you may want to download the sessions.php again.

there's a bug when loading logouthash

I mean direct intigration in the Vbulletin Style.
With headers, ... like that as the Memberliste etc. is integiert and
a new side is not called.
Thus a complete Template intigration

How exactly can i have vbulletin's footer adn header on 4images gallery?
my vbulletin isntallation is in www.mysite.com and 4 images is in www.mysite.com/gallery
Could somebody please explain it to me?

nitro · #19 10-23-2005, 08:35 AM

Thanks works fine here on my test site having grabbed our old 4images seperate db and thrown the tables into my vb test db. USer integration is better than nothing. The rest would take a lot of work

Not sure if we will use it or go vbA gallery but 4images can now get more consideration

Ok, I rename it "User Integration", which, as stated in the description, only integrate USER system, so that forum's user can upload images in 4images.

This is NOT a full integration, nor template/style integration.

if you are looking for a full integration, with template included, vBA or Photopost could be the options

You should go to 4images website, and learn how to edit template. then, you can edit 4images' templates. (header.html and footer.html), so that it might look the same as your forum.

that is not included in this hack, as each template will be different.
