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

I'll need to wrap things up, "still in beta stage" then post all the new features.
http://www.uaeart.com/main/

If this is in beta, than it may be a good idea to post the code so that others can beta test it for you. It also would be a good idea to start your own thread so as not to hijack this one. I'm assuming, of course, that you are actually considering releasing this hack and aren't just throwing a tease.

One simple question; I looked the site over and obviously the 4images is TOTALLY integrated with the forum, the comments are forum threads(I was just going to ask for someone to post an add-on to the current mod that would allow that), etc. But would a regular forum still be able to operate and the gallery and all of those stats would just be in a subforum?

You really should post the early beta's and let other people test it out for themselves. JMO

since the random images hack in 4images.de doesn't work with vb3, I've released one for myself:

You either DONT have your 4images and vBulletin in the SAME database, or you have configured wrong TABLE NAME.

Check that, or read the instruction carefully. in you still cant solve the problem, read over the posts along this thread, you surely will get the answer
.

There are ALOT of people having the same problem. please look over the answer on few page up.

U r correct I moved them into the DB and everything worked perfect now is there a way to set whether or not users have to wait for validation on pix or not i have input the usergroups in the constants.php and its still awaiting moderation

[James T Brock]

The pic validation thing has nothing to do with this hack and is a 4images feature. Go into your GALLERY admin panel and click the edit categories option and modify the permissions.

I have done that but it seems that the only people who can upload without a problem are admins.

[NexVision]

Ok I have gone over this for almost a week now trying diffrent settings I am running 4 images with vbulletin 3.0.3 and users can upload however all there uploads require approval and I cannot for the life of me figure out Y I have edited the constants file as stated to accomidate all the usergroups on my forum please tell me if I have done something wrong in the attached pic.

I think I have to quote Jame's answer again for this problem:

"Go into your GALLERY admin panel and click the edit categories option and modify the permissions."


if you want your USERS to be able to upload without moderation, you have to let "Direct Upload" = Registered Users

That is exactly how I had it set and still nothing would work without validation at the suggestion of someone on the 4-images forum I uninstalled the gallery and reinstalled and now it worx perfectly so thanks to all who helped and if anyone else occurs this problem try uninstalling and reinstalling.

One more question that I couldnt find the answer to anywhere is it possible to have a moderator group that can move images or edit comments without them having full access to the control panel or is this a no.

Ask over 4images website and see if they have or going to implement the feature.

In 4-images, I see that you can add groups and set permission. You may try and see if it might help anything. I myself having no answer for your question.

[DoKoK]

I have a quick question:

Is it possible to restrict users from viewing the images unless they have XXX posts (i'm assuming using user groups and promotions).

Sorry if it's been asked before but it's 3 AM here and I don't really have time to read every post

not tested before, but I think you can do that. try it out.

- Says you have a group called "advance members", Members are promoted to this group after xxx posts (You should be able to do this in vBulletin - How, check vB manual)

- In 4images, you should setup so that only members (and admin, I assume) can view images, moderated and guest are not able to do so. You should be able to do this in 4images too. (I dont have access to my 4images to check for you)

- In my integration, th configuration part (i think), set vBulletin member group being waiting for moderation group in 4images, and the vB advanced member group being 4images' member group.


good luck
