Major Features

Multiple Instances You can run an unlimited number instances of the gallery on the same forum with same set of files! Each instance can have a different look and feel to it, and with enough work can have a completely different function because of the system we built it on.

AJAX integration We used AJAX wherever we could to help reduce the page reloads

Automatic resizing and thumbnail creation As long as your server can handle it, the users can upload whatever size pictures they want. The gallery will control the size displayed and stored, and will even create a thumbnail, all automatically. Users no longer have to worry about resizing their images to fit what your forum specifies. If you do not have a server with the power to resize images (GD image library can get pretty memory intensive) then you can set the gallery to reject images that do not fit into your size criteria.

User Albums Users can create their own image albums to organize and display sets of their images. Albums can also be set to hidden and/or password protected. So users who want to have images for only certain friends or not visible to anyone else at all can easily organize them.

Is there a way to get the dragonbyte gallery to work with the current gallery? I am testing it and notice it doesnt show my pics uploaded to Dragonbyte in the activity stream or on my profile page.

Thanks

The next version will have a profile block where the vB Albums one is. I'll look into adding it to the activity stream.

Does vB 4.2 support a mysql 4.1.x database?
It might be that it couldn't add the field because of the mysql version. If you're comfortable with it you can create the field in the dbtech_gallery_images table. It's just a varchar field, set it to 255 characters.

Hi there,

what about the problem that the content of hidden albums are shown to evereyone? In other circumstances this will be a security risk and should be fixed as soon as posible.

Best regards

I'm sorry Leica,
I just checked and I believe this is fixed, I just forgot to document it.
I edited one of my albums and set it to hidden. I went to the gallery main page and I saw the images. I then logged out and when I went to the gallery main page and my user profile page the images in that album were not displaying. I unhid the album, set a password and got the same results.

btw, next feature release I will be adding the ability to set an album hidden and viewable by friends. Thanks for the info on that, I didn't think about adding that when I first started the project

I'm not sure, if this happens to guests. But I will install the new version on my testVB site and give you feedback.

OK, thank you, that's a great idea.

Another feature also in the LITE-Version is missing. Some people are crazy and upload adult images. The Admin should have a way to mark an image as adult content, if anyone else wants to see the adult images, they have to verify their age by an external service.

Best regards

I haven't seen that one before. Could I get temp admin access to try and see what's going on?
