Forum Display Enhancements - vBi-Gallery for vB 3.6.X

This is the 3.6.X-Version of my vBi-Gallery for vBulletin.

It's an update to this hack:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=92875

This gallery-system integrates completly into vB, because it's a modification of the forum itself and uses the attachment-system of vb.

Therefore, it's neccessary to be sure, that the attachment-system is working and it's possible to create thumbs. Otherwise, the gallery won't work.

Btw, I want to thank all the people here, which are using this gallery.

Just "add new Forum" and set the setting to "Act as forum" to NO.

You can als set the setting "Forum is active" to NO

Hope this helps.

It seems, the settings for the gallery are ignored. Try to check in the gallery-option if there is a number set for the amount of pictures shown on forumhome.

If everything is o.k., try to just reinstall it.

@buurman: I thought, i had already published the modifications for CMPS. Hmh, o.k., i'll look after it tonight.

It's not so hard to to make a random-picture-box and a latest-pictures-box for the CMPS.

@bonzer: Could you explain a bit more? What's not working? Any URL to see it?

[bonzer]

Thanks But I have removed it for now ....

Thanks for the Gallery, it installed fine.

Some Ideas for future version:
Improve the layout on images when you click on a gallery, at the moment they are all placed above each other, it doesn't look that tidy. A blank line between each image would be nice just so that they are spaced out a bit, maybe create thumbnails instead of showing an enlarged image so that we can display several images together in one post and the user can then click on them to get the larger picture.

Fix the blank Thread Tools menu
in gallery_showthread, find:

<if condition="$show['movethread']"><div><label for="ao_mvt"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_mvt" value="movethread" />$vbphrase[move_copy_thread]</label></div></if>

replace with:

<if condition="$show['movethread']"><div><label for="ao_mvt"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_mvt" value="movethread" />$vbphrase[move_thread]</label></div></if>

That's all I can think of at the moment, Thanks for a great hack

[buurman]

Is htere a way to make the space between the attachment and Threat smaller?

*edit
Never mind, found it, also deleted the extra space between latest pics block and first forum block, because it was larger than the rest.
Starts looking perfectly, love this addon m8!!!

Harald_T, great to see you have a 3.6 mod for this hack. I had your 3.5 mod & loved it. Does anyone have this working with 3.6.4?

Thanks, dreck

[Harald_T]

This should be working with 3.6.4 also, i think.

[Important Update]

Just to let you know:

I've started coding a new version of the gallery, which won't use the attachment system any longer. Instead of it, it uploads the pictures to a directory on the server.

Therefore it was neccessary to write the whole code new. At the moment there is no demo-version or any screen-shots. As soon, as they are, i'll show you.

Any suggestions for this new gallery?

Great little hack, I must say Harald. I'd love the option to have people click on the picture from forumhome and it takes them to the actual picture post, instead of just the picture.

You can see my implementation here-
