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

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.

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.

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.

Looking forward!

It can be used with any gallery script really - but obviously requires a 'bridge' for each script. So far requests have been asked for the following:

vBulletin 3.7.x user album system
Photopost Pro
vB CMPS block module or page
Photoplog gallery

These will be made available in an update which will integrate it fully with vBulletin - this would include over 30 variations of the gallery, since there is many attributes that can be overrided from the defaults we have set in this gallery.
