Major Additions - Media Gallery (Photos, Audio, YouTUBE)

Since 2006 I was serving community members with my Free Mods
But as this site will starts operating by the company,
I'm no willing to support them

** File Removed **


Media Gallery
Photos, Audio, YouTUBE

Compatible with vB4.2.3

I'm offering my hard work for free, without even a single copyright line in footer, expecting that some of you will appreciate the time that I spent for coding it and they will donate something.

Demo: http://www.teriakis.com/vb423/media.php

1.- What's this?

Media Gallery it's a simple Gallery mod supporting Photo and Audio uploads and YouTUBE videos. I was looking for a simple Gallery mod for my own use and as I didn't found something meeting my requirements, I coded this mod. By saying "simple" mostly goes to the easy of use, otherwise it has some great features that you can't even find in big Galleries. It's social share ready especially for Facebook using OpenGraph Meta.

Explore it. You'll love it.

2.- Installation

1. Download the zip file, and unzip it
2. Upload the content of upload/ folder to your forum directory
3. CMOD 777 the directories:
   1. mediagallery/audio
   2. mediagallery/photos
   3. mediagallery/photos/thumbs
4. From your Admincp import product-mediagallery.xml
5. If you're using htaccess file for SEO Urls copy the content of htaccess.txt to your .htaccess file
6. Check and Set Usergroup Permissions
7. Check and Set General Settings
8. Add Categories
9. Moderation is available from ModCP.

PS: For YouTUBE videos the code with tries to fetch the video thumb. Sometimes this action stucks. In this case you can upload your own thumb.

Is there a way that you can add a download button? I want people to be able to download the pictures in full size!

They can do that with the preview picture, but not the full size picture.

I found a small bug, the userprofile pagenation doesn't work and shows the $userid instead of the user's ID - member.php?u=$userid&tab=mediagallery#mediagallery&page=2

I'm trying to use the Youtube feature since there isn't use your own link... but anyways when I add the video it doesn't get the thumbnail so it's broken in the media part.. How do I add my own when this happens or is something wrong on why it's not auto pulling the thumbnail?

Please be sure that you've the correct file uploaded. Even if I remember that I've updated the zip file, I'm attaching the latest file here to upload it. There was such an issue with some YouTUBE videos but changing the requested thumb type nobody reported any error since that update.

I'm not using API but just the links that YouTUBE is providing. So any video that works in YouTUBE should also works here.
