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.

So just tried this on another site that has photopost pro also and when you click on gallery import the only thing that shows is vb Albums. Does the importor work for photopost pro?

There is, and it shows up for me, however it shows these images at full size so I can't use it. I tried changing the Instance thumbnail settings and max image settings but no change.


Any suggestions for the above issues?

I can't seem to see the answer to this in the forum so here's the problem.
I'm importing images from vbgallery (I've already imported categories) and the images seem to be importing to a maximun size of 400x 400 even though the original image is much larger in VB gallery.
I set the parameters (DBTech settings) to thumbs 200x200 and max image 2048x2048.
But no matter when I look at the image in the gallery it is still 400x? even if you tick the box to enlarge the image nothing happens.

OK the other issue I have is that the categories aren't showing up in the drop down menu after import.

Thanks for a great mod, this is a life saver. I also wish to upgrade to the pro version as soon as possible.
** Edit

I've looked through the old VB gallery and the image sizes are larger than the ones imported to DragonByte Gallery. Is it possible that the import script has imported the medium size images rather than the originals.

[Halfhidden]

Is it best to uninstall the light version? I have tried to contact the DBTech directly from thier website about buying the full version but it seems I'm blocked and my emails sent last week haven't been answered.
Can anyone help me?
