Okay, I tried installing this on VB 3.6 RC2, just to try it out, if it worked i would have left it but if it didnt i would have uninstalled it. Anyways, everything worked fine, however the drop down for search did not work, nothing in the navbar that had a drop down menu would go down, you would click on it and nothing would fall. Did I install it wrong or should I just wait for a working rls for VB 3.6 ? Thanks
I tried to install it, but I think I'm missing something.
The zip just gives me a few buttons (gif's instead of jpg), the xml and one page of installation guide.
The installation guide doesn't say anything about creating a template, nor the necessary name, nor any code to put in there.
Some posts further I see that the template is supposed to be called threadbit_gallery instead of template_gallery, so now I have two clue's that are never mentioned before:
1 I need to create a template
2 it's name is to be threadbit_gallery
That second post also tells me to create a new phrase in "Forum_related". I'm not exactly sure what you mean by forum_related. Perhaps I will know what you mean if you say that in German, then I can find it in my English version.
I have 3.5.4, and just like Grendel had before: all I have is an extra forum.
I can't even switch it off, because the switch doesn't work.
My database is correct though: fields gallery and gallery_cat are there, and properly showing the 1's and 0's at the right records.
I hope you can help me!

First of all, did you create the needed templates?
You do this:
ACP->Styles&Templates->Styles-Manager->Selecting from the Style-Options-Men?: Add a new template.
Give it the neccessary name and in the big field fill in the code for the template.
For setting the category up:
Set the Display-Order to '0', so that it isn't visible (but still accessable) and 'Act as Forum' to 'No', as you already thought.
Before the save-button for the forum-options you should have a new YES/NO-Option named 'Gallery'. This is the gallery-option. Set this to yes.
This should be all.
The effect you got sounds like, that you didn't set the Gallery-Option to yes. Did you also don't forget to run the needed query? Check your database, if there is a field called 'gallery' in your forum-table.
To be sure i will check the code for vB 3.5.0 Beta4 tonight.

Also, i've found an type-error in the original-text:
The new template to create isn't of course called "template_gallery" but "threadbit_gallery". Sorry for the typo.
And second: You have to add a new phrase.
Place it in forum-related and call it Gallery.
The text for the phrase could be: "Use as gallery?"
@Dodjer42: You mean, if you post a new picture, or reply to a post, that you've got this "forum_new.gif" which indicates that the forum contains new posts? If you mean this, yes.
Harald, I am looking to replace photopost on my production box. Where abouts in the XML file does it do the 'Last Post' update for forum_new.gif and the last post details?
I installed this gallery and it works great. But when guests come to the site the images are broken, displayed with an X. When you login you can see the pictures. What parameter am I missing here ?
I have been reading the thread, couldnt find anything. But the thread is sooo long i might have overlooked the solution
