4images Gallery 1.7

A lot of people, both here and at 4homepages.de have been requesting for a mod/hack that would integrate vBulletin 3 RCX with 4images 1.7 lately. The solutions are scattered around the forums, but nobody has it all in one page.

So I've decided put them all togather, and release it, so it will be easier for people to do the intigration successfully.

Please note that all the codes in this hack/mod are property of Jan and mtha.

I have tested this on vBulletin 3.0.0 RC3 and it worked successfully.

Features:

• Uses your existing vBulletin powered forum's login account for authentication.
• Uses your existing vBulletin powered forum's whos online feature
• Can be modified to display any information from your existing vBulletin database, perticularly from the "user" table, which means you can display any information about the logged in user.
• Since it is integrated with the database, you can display any gallery information such as latest picture, how many pictures a member have submitted etc... on your vBulletin powered forum.
• Extra modifications can be found here

Done that Defi and it still does not work

This Mod is still not working as I have tried the install a dozen times and I even took the files from a apparently working integration from KTBleeding, changed the information to my server information and it still does not keep me logged in. My cookie in VB is set to my domain which is .mogusland.com and my session timeout in 4images is set to 0.

Is there anything I missed?

Did I miss a step here? I went through EVERYTHING atleast 3 times.

Do i NEED php 4.3.7 Cause I have 4.3.3 on my server right now... MTA HELP!!! lol

my name is MTHA, not MTA please.

I dont see the biggie for this problem tho. If you login to your forum, and access album from forum, then you are fine

I dont have solution for this yet sorry

Ok, so it does still log you out when you close the browser. Ok good, because I thought this fixed that issue. Then Im fine in waiting because right now I just enabled everyone to be able to post comments ect. I never allowed member uploads because I am using this as a gallery for my site content anyways at www.mogusland.com so no worries then.

hmmm... the login works perfect with all this fixes... Has anyone fixed yet the problem with the admin-login?

And then I've discovered that some things are missing in the users gallery profile... You can't go there normally, but I have placed a small link in my forums in the profile and in the popup if you click on a nick in a post to see this... but the info Comments:, Email:, and the ICQ-Status are empty... Email and ICQ-status isn't important, cause you can see it in the forums-profile, but comments would be useful...

For everyone who don't know how to access the gallery-profile: 4images-url/member.php?action=showprofile&user_id=userid (userid is the user's userid from your vB), can anyone try to fix that?

Also it would be nice to integrate the gallery to the Who's online list... so that you can see that the users are in the gallery or if it would be perfect the action that they're doing there... but I think that's a suggestion which is far far away from the possibilitys now ;>

Did you make changes to the admin/admin_global.php? I think there's some of my instruction to do this step

You are really funny man For this intergration, you try to use forum's user table (and skip the album's user table). Now you try to PULL it out from the trash and use it?

I did not check the member.php file (as of I use forums' member file, to view profile and manage users), but you can set Constant variable for these values (ICQ, Email ...) I dont know what do you mean by comments (never use it, so I dont know). Maybe you will need to add a comments field to the user table for this to work.

would be great if so.

There's gotta be a way to see why the VB 2.xx integration worked and make it work with VB3... that integration of vb2.xx was perfect and everything was perfect... is vb3 THAT different from VB2 regarding this login thing?

Comments are the number of comments a user has made... ans that you can't see in the forums like the other unimportant stuff

hm, I'll test what happens when I set the comments-table to the 4images table in constants... but I'm not really familiar with php ans/or mySQL, so I can't do more...

No, I won't use the 4images usertables, but it would be nice if you cold link this... Then it looks nicer... I think it's a good idea, if you can, can you then try to fix this?

Yes vB3 has salt ..

[vBFreak]

hm, I've set now the follwoing:

includes/constants.php

PHP Code:

define('COMMENTS_TABLE', $table_prefix.'comments'); 


includes/sessions.php

PHP Code:

"user_comments" => "user_comments", 


I've also tried there "comments" and "4images_comments" (4images is the table prefix)

It seems that nothing is broken, but it also doesn't work and shows the number of user's comments... can anyone help?
