Social Group and Album Enhancements - All Albums

All Albums 2.5

This hack lets you view an index of all user albums on one page. Looks like a user's index but just has all users instead of just one.

You have to upload the all_albums.php file to your root vBulletin folder. This is the file that you have to access to see all the albums.

ENJOY!

One question, if I may. I don't use the default vBulletin style, but rather I use vBSEO Style, which comes with light green navbar. All the text in that navbar is black - but the All Albums font is white.

* Is there a way for me to change the font to black color;

* or, alternatively, if color change would be difficult, how could I turn off the All Albums text in the navbar? (I could then insert my own text there, or anywhere else.)

[Marvin Hlavac]

I'm not sure if my approach was the correct one, but I managed to change the font color the following way:

$template_hook["navbar_buttons_left"] .= '<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="all_albums.php' . $session[sessionurl_q] . '"><font color="black">All Albums</font></a></td>';

I agree that we need the ability to edit the navbar link. I use vBadvanced and it is not in the same folder as my forum so the link on the navbar won't work on that page.

I managed to get it to work by editing the XML product file to make that link my fully qualified URL to the all album page and re-importing the product and it's all good now.

Other than that, it was a cinch to install and get working!

Ditto!

For those who also need this and need help:

product-abe1_all_albums.xml

find:

<phpcode><![CDATA[$template_hook["navbar_buttons_left"] .= '<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="all_albums.php' . $session[sessionurl_q] . '">All Albums</a></td>';]]></phpcode>

replace: (don't forget to update the domain/link to suit your needs)

<phpcode><![CDATA[$template_hook["navbar_buttons_left"] .= '<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/all_albums.php' . $session[sessionurl_q] . '">Gallery</a></td>';]]></phpcode>

You can also change the "All Albums" using this method. If you've already installed don't forget to "allow overwrite" when you import it again. I agree a phrase would be better

Cheers!:up:
