vB iGallery (XML Based) + vB iGallery V2.02



If you like this Modification recommend it for MOTM and remember to Click INSTALL for future updates

13th August 2008 - vBulletin 3.7 Bridge Released: Download is now available
vB iGallery V2.02 now available.
More features and very easy installation, optimized and brand new User Guides - also added the fully layered PSD to design your own background images. Demo V2.02: http://www.digitalport.co.uk/digital/vb_igallery.php

Revision: 1.01(XML based Only)


vB iGallery 1.01 (XML based only) requires no database to function
(see V2.02 below for full vBulletin bridge to User Albums)

about:
vB iGallery is an XML based gallery, therefore uses no database queries. It uses Papervision3D flash technology, giving you a unique 3D gallery Xperience. Fully tested on default and custom styles, and cross-browser compatible. Coded to work with vBulletin's DHTML menu system, to stop menu's dropping behind the flash object.

This XML version uses it's own album directories - it is not integrated with vBulletin 3.7.x user albums yet. However, this will be done in a future update.

Features

• 3D Gallery in a virtual world
• Controlled by mouse and keyboard
• Various Zoom features
• Spinning Gallery - mouse controlled
• Zoom in/out of gallery globe - mouse or keyboard
• Tooltips available on all images
• Descriptions show on full image display
• Override attributes - we list more soon

Installation
Full installation instructions are provided in Word and PDF formats, within the download package. Easy install requiring uploading of files/folders and one template edit.

User Guides
English and French User Guides available. French translation by Sofia - Many thanks!

Copyright
All images used in the example album have been used with the contributors permission. Please do not remove the copyright in the footer of the gallery page, instructions on removal are in the documentation.

LATEST RELEASE Updated to v2.02 - Package updated.
Main vB iGallery file was a development version. Alignment issues fixed. Multi-line Caption/Description field moved and fixed. Domain issue fixed.

vB iGallery v2.02 (Dynamic bridge to vBulletin 3.7 User Albums)
Download it now, it's bridged to use vBulletin 3.7 User Albums - allowing easy population of iGallery. No XML to edit or to configure. Completely recoded and optimized. FULL documention within download package, in Word and PDF formats.

IMPORTANT (Affects version 2.0 only)
Some users have mentioned images missing from Profiles and Albums after installing this modification, the images have not been deleted they simply require a rebuild. Please do the following after installing this modification.

Go to your AdminCP -> User Albums -> Rebuild Thumbnails then click the 'Rebuild Album Picture Thumbnails' button.
This will fix the thumbnails not showing after installation. User Guides will updated to reflect this issue.


Additional Bonus Background Package (v2.0 & v2.02 ONLY)
5 New backgrounds have been added for you to download - these have been designed using the supplied PSD template within the Tools folder of the vB iGallery v2.02.

AUTOMATIC UPDATE NOTIFICATIONS
If you receive another notification about an update within the past 12 hours, this is auto-generated by vbulletin.org if the main release post is changed. I have made a few changes to this post due to some confusion between the 2 versions available. Please make sure you download the correct version for your forum.

Try re-downloading the new package 2.02 - I've just updating an issue with the iGallery and an issue with domain locking.

This should fix the problem - I only updated the vb_igallery.swf file, so by overwriting this file it should fix that issue.

BTW, the last line should be a path not a relative url.

Thanks that fixed it, it's working the way it should

Now there one more issue.

In IE7 i get an error saying: swfmacmousewheel is empty or is no object
Line 61 on http://www.bodyresource.nl/forum/vb_igallery.php

Checking in FF it says about the same: Line61 swfmacmousewheel has no properties

Can you take a look what's the problem ?

This is an issue I'm looking into... it relates to Apple users, using a mousewheeel for Zoom control of the globe. As soon as I find the problem it will be fixed. It doesn't actually cause a problem with the vB iGallery, but it's just one of those annoying little issues that is there.

I'm just coding a vBa CMPS module for this iGallery and using very similar coding, but slightly different calls which I'm hoping will fix this issue. If this works then I'll apply the same coding to the vb_igallery.php file.
