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

Ok. I basically followed instructions that were in this thread.

I Installed 4images into my forum database, using the 4image_ prefix, and a temp admin name.

I changed the cookie to .staytunedtheband.com -- hmm. maybe I shouldn't do that...

I set session timeout to 0

I then replaced the loginform with the text in instructions

I then edited the sessions.php according to the instructions. Interestingly, my define admin_safe_login was already set to 0, rather than 1. Is that backwards in the instructions?

Next I tried to login before updating with my skin. Didn't work right/was buggy.

Next I tried uploading my previously altered-to-match my site. Stil doesn't work/still is buggy.

Did you change anything?

[phenomenon]

ok well at the moment it's now working fine. sigh. I removed the .staytunedtheband.com from the cookies setting in the forum. However, I could have sworn that vBadvanced required that to work right.

now the question is, does it work with my updated graphics -- basically using the 4lightgray template from viaxon

[phenomenon]

Ok. It seems to be working fine for me now -- the big problem was the cookie path. I could have sworn I needed to have that set to .mydomain.com for the vbadvanced, but when I looked through that documentation I didn't see it anywhere.

Interestingly, I now have a new problem: when I log in with Internet Explorer 6 on winXP, I get a runtime error, line 139, object expected. I do NOT get this error on the forum itself. I DID go through sessions.php and change

$clientscript_md5  = $url_app."clientscript/md5.js";

to

$clientscript_md5  = $url_app."clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js";

***EDIT*** My proxy server at work is giving me troubles and just redirected me to a directory the forum was in for testing. so I think this is probably working fine, but is just cached. *$#^%* proxies.

Mine is working perfectly. Except for the Logging out whenever i close the browser. Everything is peachy. I tried playing with the cookie settings but i dont know... ill keep trying. You set the session timeout in 4images to 0? Ill have to try that

I just installed this and I'm getting this error when I try to upload pictures.

Warning: move_uploaded_file(./data/media/1/brian.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /nfs/home/alclub2/public_html/4images/includes/upload.php on line 114

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpobJFP7' to './data/media/1/brian.jpg' in /nfs/home/alclub2/public_html/4images/includes/upload.php on line 114

DigitalEclipse:
There are two methods of uploading, which did you use? I just went and checked both ways in my install and it worked fine. (one way is to upload a single image using the 4images admin cp, the other is upload pictures to the corresponding id number folder in /data/media/ and then hit the 'check new images' link in the 4images admin cp)

Did you make sure to upload the new sessions.php document to the 4images/includes folder (NOT the vBulletin/includes folder!!!) Did you set

// Set here the URL to your vBulletin forum. WITH trailing slash!
$url_app           = "http://yourdomain.com/forum/";

in sessions.php of 4images?

[DigitalEclipse]

I dont understand what you mean about the 2 ways. yes I did upload the session.php file and put my URL in there. I try uploading the pictures here: http://www.al-club3g.org/4images/mem...dform&cat_id=2

Here is my 4images homepage: http://www.al-club3g.org/4images

[Mr. Brian]

Alright my question is, can I know what's the code changes in session.php? I just don't wish to ovewrite my session.php.

thanks

[phenomenon]

hmm digital eclipse I have no idea. we just had a weird error where we uploaded a bunch of pictures, hit the thumbnailer and suddenly the gallery is totally down.

[BlackxRam]

Matthew.. The session.php is the SESSION.php FOR 4IMAGES NOT VBULLETIN. the 4images one NEEDS to be overwritten.
