Requriments:
Database Server
- MySQL or MS SQL Server (experimental support for ODBC)
- Administration tool for the database server (e.g. phpMyAdmin)
- Support for MySQL has been tested thouroughly.
- Support for MS SQL has been tested and seems to work fine.
- Support for ODBC is currently untested.
- PhpMyAdmin to import database structure http://www.phpmyadmin.net/
- ImageMagick installed on server http://imagemagick.sourceforge.net/
- The variable include_path = "." in php.ini

- PHP 4 (PHP 3 untested, but should work)
- Tested with PHP 4.2.2
- Forum Software
- Tested with phpBB 2.0.4
- Tested with vBulletin 2.2.x
- With vBulletin 2.3.x, and error message is produced by vBulletin, but still works.
- Forum software is not really needed (but highly recommended), you can use ip-based authentication too.

Web Server
-OakGallery currently requires a web server that allows you to run shell commands from php-scripts (for ImageMagick).

Installation:
1. Create a database for the gallery (using e.g. phpMyAdmin)
(You can use the same database for OakGallery as for other things, as long as the table names don't collide)
2. Execute the complete database script found in InstallDB/<server-type>-OakGallery.sql
3. UnZip the gallery to a local folder
Edit the Upload/config/galleryconfig.php to suit your needs. The configuration options should be self-explanatory. To find where ImageMagick's convert and composite are located. Try running this from your shell (unix):

which convert or
whereis convert

4. Upload all files in the 'Upload' subdirectory to your webserver.

5. Make the directories 'thumbnails' and 'images' writeable by the webserver.

E.g:
chown nobody thumbnails
chmod 770 thumbnails
(In this example, the webserver is run as user nobody.)

7. Also, you need to make the PHP temporary upload directory writable by the webserver.

(Contact your system administrator if you need help with step 6-7)
Now, try loading the gallery page in your webbrowser and start creating categories for your pictures!

8. Dont you get it working ? Please post your problem here ... include the following:

- Path to the gallery
- Path to the forum
- Path to phpinfo.php
- Path?s in the galleryconfig.php

Then it will be much easier to help you out.

Modification:
If you want to modify OakGallery to better suit your needs, the following rules must be obeyed:

- The 'PayPal-donate' link and text must be CLEARLY visible. Preferrably near the top of the page.
- The original copyright message must be CLEARLY visible near the top of ALL pages.
- Add a message saying 'Modified by xxxx' or similar near the copyright message.
- Have fun! (and yes, that is a rule!)).

many people dont have image maigc..and many of them could not install it cause they dont gt an own server .. so the standart for thumbnails and picture galleries is GD 1.0 or higher.also the most of them dont got GD2.0 ..the most providers..dont let the webmaster control the php.ini or installing new software like upgardes or imagemagik..
..so it would be nice..if there would be support for GD1.0 GD2.0 or image magik..so the users who installed this software can choose what they have istalled to show the images correctly.. and also an instant access ti php.ini inst normally for most of us .. there should be another way to include the files..cause editing the php.ini is not allowed to most of us..

are you planning to make updates for users like me?

greets Highlander

www.spieleplanet.com <- installed an alternatiove gallery, wich was written for phpBB ..this gallery supports GD1,2 and Image Magic..and as addin phpBB users can choose the correct user database to make it work like this gallery..

[gmarik]

Highlander, I can only agree with you - I would use this hack, if it would have GD2 support, but now - it's useless. What is that phpBB hack - can you show it in action?

[Stud_Muffin]

Can you just use a precompiled version of ImageMagick's convert and composite and point to them? This is assuming you don't have full access to install it properly.

[Highlander]

this is it:
http://spielplanet2.de/forum/gaming/...ndex.php?cat=2

it uses only phpBB if you got this.. but it support GD1.0 GD2.0 and ImageMagik ..it goit Slideshows, e-Cards an all comfot a expensive tool Like Photo Posts meets..

the only thing i turned the user registering off..cause i got my users of vb in the forums.. so oak galerry is the same..but it only supports imageMagik..and ImageMagik only is preinstalled if you install it.. or you can get root rights.. but 90% of webmasters host their sites on some preinstalled servers without root rights..and known issues of paths to imagemagik..so most of them really did not got GD2.0 just GD1.0 support..cause many Server companies have to pay much money that their users could user things like this..

if oak gallery would dupport all 3 kinds of image compresison like GD1 and 2 and imageMagik..it would be really better than the 120$ expensive PhotoPost

@Muffin .. i cant install imageMagic..cause i dont got root rights..to look below my home diretories. So its unpossible for me to user THIS GREAT hack..if it would support gd it would be better than PhotoPost!..

..i really just thought to install Photopost..but a test and first look showed me it only support imageM;agic too.. so a software 120$ expensive dont works for me....till a better way coems up i have to use this version i insatlled on my site:
http://spielplanet2.de/forum/gaming/...ndex.php?cat=2

Highlander,

I don't agree with you.

1st, most of the people who write hacks here at vbulletin.org do so for FREE , and share them with the public without any compensation.

They then spend the rest of their time answering, and re-answering question about installation that was covered in the install instructions.

NOW, if you want to spend some of your free time, why dont you write a hack that has all those beni's that you want in your forums.

Now, if some of you are using a host that doesn't have Imagemagick, I would suggest you switch to higher quality hosting company.

Personally, I use venturesonline.com, and they have GD 2, and Imagemagick.

Use 4images if u wish , theres a mod in their forums for vB integration too.
Supports GD and imagemagik and netbpm too.

just fyi

This php script will automaticly pick a random image from OakGallery 2.0 thumbnails section and display it on your forum homepage or any other non VB site. I use it, easy to install, just edit path to your OakGallery 2.0 Thumbnails folder and upload. It attracts more people to chceck out the gallery - worked wonders for me. Try this out, looks real nice on the home page.

Install time 1 MIN

***Instructions***

1) Edit the path to the thumbnails folder in randomimage.php

2) Save and upload randomimage.php and chomod it to 775

3) Open forumhome template in your Admin CP and place the call out code anywhere desired by your likes.

PHP Code:

<img src="url/randomimage.php"height="125"width="125"> 


*** End Install ***

Hi I cant get this to work..... I did exactly as the instructions said...
all I get is this when I call the script : Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in /var/www/htdocs/randomimage.php on line 8

( http://cancan.mine.nu/randomimage.php )

randomimage.php

PHP Code:

  $url='http://cancan.mine.nu/gallery/thumnails';
  //Stop editing, that is all. Call the image with: 
<img src="http://cancan.mine.nu/randomimage.php"height="125"width 


customtemplate 2

PHP Code:

<tr><td bgcolor="$getbgrow"><smallfont>
