Dont forget to click

Update 03/24/2005
If you get error loging out of album:
in page_header.php, line 110

replace

PHP Code:

"url_logout" => (!empty($url_logout)) ? $site_sess->url($url_logout) : $site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."logout.php"), 


by

PHP Code:

"url_logout" =>(!empty($url_logout))?$site_sess->url($url_logout):$site_sess->url($url_app."login.php?do=logout&u=$user_info[user_id]"), 


Update 10/30/2004
Since meny people have problem with vB usergroup, I've add Usergroups arrays,
Now you can set multiple custom user groups to be USER, USER_WAITING, or ADMIN
By default:

$waitinggroups = array(3, 4); // vB Group should be waiting for moderate. seperate each group by comma
$usergroups = array(2, 7); // Groups that are USERS in album. seperate each group by comma
$admingroups = array(6); // vB groups that are ADMINS in album. seperate each group by comma

Update 10/20/2004
Sincemeny people ignore to config the "VB_TABLE_PREFIX" inconfiguration,I've pull all the prefix into one place, and make STRONGrequest tocheck this one.
If your album works fine, you dont have to update your files.
If you do want to apply the changes, here's where you can check:

constants.php
define('VB_TABLE_PREFIX',''); // your vb tableprefix. vB default is blank
define('SESSIONS_TABLE', VB_TABLE_PREFIX.'session');
define('USERS_TABLE', VB_TABLE_PREFIX.'user');

sessions.php
define('VB_TEMPLATE_TABLE', VB_TABLE_PREFIX.'template');

Update 06/25/2004
Clean up some codes, add some more instructions. Adding constants for Cookie prefix, cookie timeout, album folder ...
If your album works fine, you dont have to update your files.
If you do want to ... work again, just follow all the steps


Update 06/22/04
IF you have "Remember username/password?" problem with album (Album session dont remember your logged in if you go directly to album - installed before 06/22/04)

Edit the attached sessions.php, and replace the VBLICENCE_NUMBER, and upload to your album/include/sessions.php

OR

Manually edit:

In 4images sessions.php

Look for

PHP Code:

 if ($this->read_cookie_data("bbpassword")==$this->user_info['user_password']&&$this->user_info['user_level'] > USER_AWAITING) { 


replace by

PHP Code:

 if ($this->read_cookie_data("bbpassword")==md5($this->user_info['user_password']. 'XXXXXX')&&$this->user_info['user_level'] != USER_AWAITING) { 


CHANGE XXXXXX with your Licence Number, located on top of any of your vB file

NOTE: for those runing into table doesnt exist problem, check your VB_TABLE_PREFIX variable

Table '4images.template' doesn't exist
DB Error: Bad SQL Query: SELECT sessionhash FROM session
Table '4images.session' doesn't exist

the error says: Table 'sinhvien_diendan.4images_settings' doesn't exist

Questions:

01. Did you install 4images seperately (follow the original instruction) and make it work? If it doesnt work, make it work first!

02. Do you have the above table exist in your database? (you can use phpMyAdmin)

[vietnamscript]

I was config database file config.php of 4images same database of forum but when I install it. I have error, can you help me?

which means you was NOT be able to install at the first time, even with FRESH version of 4images?

As I stated in the instruction. The integration in only work when you already have vBulletin and 4images installed AND working fine.

you need to download the original 4images version from 4homepages.de and install again. Folow their install instruction and try to have your 4images works first. Alot of help on original version given in their forum.

I've got a little problem.

I've installed 4images and am getting ready to start the modding for the integration but I can't get it in English. I've uploaded the language pack but due to my complete lack of German knowledge I can't find where to switch the language.

Any help?

[edit]

Deoasn't matter, I've got it.

good old bablefish!

Just one question, what's the best way to link usergroups created in 4images to usergroups in vB?

I myself create another seperated field for album's group, with default to be member (2), and I will only care about the admins and members. All new members are automatically in member group for forum_level. Admins are set manually.

If you want to have a "waiting for moderation" group too, make the default to be the value for moderating, and add some code in activation form so that when he/she activate profile, the value of album_level changed to member.

That way I dont have to worry about vB's groups.

Is there a way to include the "style picker" (bottom left of every vb page) in the 4images gallery? That 4images gallery could also trace which style/skin is selected, and feed the stylesheet (not the vb templates, only the css file). I want to customize the 4images templates to use the vb classes, and have the users personal settings determine which css is fed.

Also, how to make gallery comments increase in vb post count.

keep getting
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagegif() in image_utils.php on line 79

You didnt have your 4images installed properly or your server doesnt support some image functions.

This hack REQUIRE you to have your 4images installed and running. You can get help on 4images website.

Not as I think of right now.

currently, 4images use "styles" globally, based on 4images' setting, not based on users' setting.
However, you can change this to "user setting", and read the "style setting" for each user. by that way, you can change style easier.
This could be a cool hack, but I cant help right now.

Also, how to make gallery comments increase in vb post count.

I'd suggest to use another field for gallery comments count. Create another field in user table, and give the table name in sessions.php, that's all what you need to do. If you want the field to be displayed in profile, put some hacking to your vB display too.

I'm having problems; Everything worked great except for the login form...

Basically, (ive attached screenshots) it says Im logged out, yet myself and the members can upload images, go to the usercp and lightbox etc (I can even access the admincp) but it still shows the login form on the left... Please see the screenies

[Rick Sample]

I've noticed you said this hack is for vbulletin 3.0.1. Will it work with 3.0.0?

Also, where do we install the 4images at? in our sites main directory or in the /forums folder?

Do you change the user_loginfo.html template?
Try to upload the original user_loginfo.html and includes/page_header.php files again. I think you might have change that template to the one I gave somehow.

It should be the original:

 <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">
   <tr> 
 	<td valign="top" align="left">
 	  {lang_loggedin_msg}<br /><br />
 	  &raquo; <a href="{url_lightbox}">{lang_lightbox}</a><br />
 	  &raquo; <a href="{url_control_panel}">{lang_control_panel}</a><br />
 	  &raquo; <a href="{url_logout}">{lang_logout}</a></td>
   </tr>
 </table>
 

I've noticed you said this hack is for vbulletin 3.0.1. Will it work with 3.0.0?

It may work with 3.0.0 as well, there were some small code changes between versions for 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 but I think it still may work. However, I suggest you to upgrade your vB to 3.0.3 which is the latest one.

Also, where do we install the 4images at? in our sites main directory or in the /forums folder?

It doesnt matter, you can install it anywhere you want, as long as you use the same database and dont have cookie domain conflict.
