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

Any explination on why it was that?

There's a misleading in 4images config file. 4Images sometime check "user-id" and "user_level" for GUEST. you are unlucky enough to put 1 as user_level for guest => there's several user_info['user_id'] = GUEST; => seeing you as guest (and show the login box), but in the admin function part,it only check for userlevel

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

It only fails when you upload a GIF file (it tries to create a THUMBNAIL, which cuases it to error out).
Any Suggestions?

check your graphic setting (Conversion tool for thumbnails)
Control Panel/ Settings / Conversion tool for thumbnails

if you dont have this setting correct, you wont be able to create thumbnails.

what it should be, based on your server, if your server has IM, GD or NetPBM. you can ask your host, or test

refer their manual for instruction

Does this also works with 4images 1.7.1 ?

I'm getting some crazy error:

DB Error: Bad SQL Query: SELECT template FROM template WHERE title='options'
Table 'chadi_4images.template' doesn't exist

DB Error: Bad SQL Query: SELECT sessionhash             FROM session
Table 'chadi_4images.session' doesn't exist

DB Error: Bad SQL Query: SELECT sessionhash               FROM session               WHERE sessionhash = '62acf9f66e454d30ab0189ddec368746'
Table 'chadi_4images.session' doesn't exist

You missed some step. You can either read the instruction and do the steps carefully or read my answer few page up. this question has been asked and answered many time!

Does this also works with 4images 1.7.1 ?

I dont know. didnt try, didnt bother to upgrade to 1.7.1 either. Anyone have any luck on answering this question?

I double checked everything, actually 3-4 times by now.

I've attached all files that were edited / included.

Refer back to this post:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=151
on page 11:

01: constant.txt:
Do you have vb table prefix in your database?

define('VB_TABLE_PREFIX',''); // your vb tableprefix. vB default is blank


02: sessions.php
Are you sure your template table name is "template"? or if you need any prefix?

// Define here the name of the template database table.
// Normally no need to change.
define('VB_TEMPLATE_TABLE', 'template');



btw, do you have your 4images and vb tables in the SAME database?

[PAINTBALLM]

I could install this myself, but I dont really have the time with the tons of work I am doing lately with the company I work for now. I will pay $15 or so via paypal to have it installed on my site www.pbmessage.com LMK

Actually.. $20. To have it working with my vb3.0.3 site/database, and set up to match the rest of the site.

[Neal-UK]

Do u have a version for vb 3.0.3?

I installed this, and it appeared to be working fine except on the gallery homepage is showed active users but not the words 'Currently active users:' or to that effect.

I also logged out via the gallery and it came up with the old VB messages, error whilst attempting to log you out, click here to logout.

I've removed it again but would very much like it on my forums.

this version should work for 3.0.3

dont really understand what you mean, but it seems that you have problem with your template or language file. Check them out.

I also logged out via the gallery and it came up with the old VB messages, error whilst attempting to log you out, click here to logout.

The logout link should have userid &u=xxx in there. it was included in my instruction file.

Ok, I have this installed and working fine except for one problem. My moderators can login but they are complaining that the upload buttun is greyed out and they are not being allowed to upload images.

Is there some kind of glitch in the permissions system that is not allowing their usergroup to upload pics?

groupID problem.

Member has group = 2, admin has group = 6, but moderators groupID are unclassified in 4images.

I think the easiest way is adding another field for album level in user table, giving default value = 2 (member). For those who need to be admin, just change the value to be 6

This is a problem related to original 4-images install that you have, which has nothing to do with this hack.

I think I saw the problems several times. I think it is related to safe_mode property. Check over 4-images forum. they should be able to answer your question.
