Major Additions - Media Gallery (Photos, Audio, YouTUBE)

Since 2006 I was serving community members with my Free Mods
But as this site will starts operating by the company,
I'm no willing to support them

** File Removed **


Media Gallery
Photos, Audio, YouTUBE

Compatible with vB4.2.3

I'm offering my hard work for free, without even a single copyright line in footer, expecting that some of you will appreciate the time that I spent for coding it and they will donate something.

Demo: http://www.teriakis.com/vb423/media.php

1.- What's this?

Media Gallery it's a simple Gallery mod supporting Photo and Audio uploads and YouTUBE videos. I was looking for a simple Gallery mod for my own use and as I didn't found something meeting my requirements, I coded this mod. By saying "simple" mostly goes to the easy of use, otherwise it has some great features that you can't even find in big Galleries. It's social share ready especially for Facebook using OpenGraph Meta.

Explore it. You'll love it.

2.- Installation

1. Download the zip file, and unzip it
2. Upload the content of upload/ folder to your forum directory
3. CMOD 777 the directories:
   1. mediagallery/audio
   2. mediagallery/photos
   3. mediagallery/photos/thumbs
4. From your Admincp import product-mediagallery.xml
5. If you're using htaccess file for SEO Urls copy the content of htaccess.txt to your .htaccess file
6. Check and Set Usergroup Permissions
7. Check and Set General Settings
8. Add Categories
9. Moderation is available from ModCP.

PS: For YouTUBE videos the code with tries to fetch the video thumb. Sometimes this action stucks. In this case you can upload your own thumb.

Thank you. Importing data is not an easy task and is not supporting by this mod. Needs a lot of work to make a script for transfering data and if the thumbs are in different dimensions, needs another script to resize/crop them.

Yes, but it seems that there is a function in Vb to do that.
Going in:
ACP-Attachments-Attachments Storage Type
I have tried to move the files, but the system say me that the web server haven't the read/write permissions.
So I don't know what to do.
Is this a cool way to import in the database the old photos?
And if yes what must be the target folder for the right import?
Thanks for your time.

My advice is: LET IT. Will not works.
What you wrote above is for the attachments (all attachments, files and images) uploaded with vbeditor. vB stores them in database, and with this option you can store them in filespace.

Wow great. Good to know.. Just in time....
You have reason is another thing.
So please Christos, I need to import the images loaded in the native album of Vb of a user, inside your plugin. Do you know where are stored in the db?
Because one moderator of my forum have loaded many good photos of products about my forum that I have to rescue, so I want to import those image in your plugin that is made really well.

Yes great idea.
Better if is it possible to show this bar with the last images loaded with the possibility to decide if show the bar at the top or at the bottom of the home page.

Better if have also the option to show or the last entries or the stream of the last entries in movement.

Christos note also that inside the plugin I disabled the "youtube" and "audio" sections, but are still shown inside the front page of the plugin (on the right column under "Media Type").
