Looking for a 3.8 Gallery

[Riccardo83]

I guess it wil be Photoplog.

One question, if u create an album "Animals" and lets say different user/admin upload photos to this album. Will those picture be stored in the same location on the server, e.g. an folder animals? - Coppermine didnt!

That is quiet important for backuping a gallery via FTP...

Im pretty sure that all the images are stored in a the database. I havent checked in awhile, I'd have to research.

Like an uploads/pictures table then the structure contains the category number and user id etc. I could check but its gonna take a minute or two.... LOL

standard across the board user/admin, if I'm not mistaken.

--------------- Added [DATE]1233851435[/DATE] at [TIME]1233851435[/TIME] ---------------

Nope, I was wrong, they are stored in the file system, all together though. They are not separated by usergroups. It appears that he script uploads them to a photoplog/images/useridnumber

No special image folders for admins... my uploads are located with all the other users.

Not sure if u got me right. I know all images are stored in a database. But having the same physcial location on FTP would be an advantage too.

Here again..

I create a album "animals". THen I upload the files via FTP into that folder I created.

But what happens with new Pictures that are being added via Webinterface? Are they stored in any userid folder or into the one I created in the first place?

In the end I would love to have all Animal photos in the same physical location on the server, ftp...

I use photopost and wished I hadn't since day one. It integrates well with vB, but then breaks every time vB is updated.

If there was a decent gallery that integrated with vB and would port all the content from Photopost, I'd be there in no time.

Photopost is rich with features, but the administration is messy and complex, things stop working with the smallest change and it just generally feels delicate, if that's a way to describe it. Unlike vB which is mature, predictable and robust. I now know that there are many better versions of software (even with less features, but at least are reliable) that are free.

If anyone can suggest a real gallery add on (or if vBs one became more social centred, rather than user) I'd be very grateful. I was going to use vBAdvanced for website integration so I would guess that the vBGallery would be excellent, as vBAdvanced was on my trials.

No, the files are stored by user id, not category. I'm running a older version so I'm not sure if a mass add option has been added.

I'd be interested in that though. It is sorta a pain to add one by one.

you could create a user for each category you want. Then they would be all in the same folder. LOL

[Riccardo83]

I cant add 7000 or more photos one by one... No way... I doubt that they dont have a batch add function to import photos via ftp.... I hope, i asked in their forum in pre sale questions...

This is the nature of the beast. vBGallery is so tightly integrated with vBulletin, that every time vBulletin releases a major dot release, we have to update vBGallery to keep up -- and we do, usually within a very short time we make the new version available such that if you decide to upgrade to the new vBulletin version, the new vBGallery compatible version is available. Certainly, nothing breaks at all if you ftp the changed vBGallery files as you run the vBulletin update.

photoplog hands down nothing can compare

A quick question, xD.

I am a recently user VB and I search for install vbgallery in my forum.
I view that contains two versions in some posts, a lite (its free) and a pro.
But I go to web for download a lite version but I don't view for download this version.
After I search and I read about this, VBgallery don't have any free version?

Thanks and regards.

vBPicGallery is an excellent gallery -
