Social Group and Album Enhancements - All Albums

All Albums 2.5

This hack lets you view an index of all user albums on one page. Looks like a user's index but just has all users instead of just one.

You have to upload the all_albums.php file to your root vBulletin folder. This is the file that you have to access to see all the albums.

ENJOY!

Here's an idea, that I posted in the feature request forum:

Album categories: use vb's album system as yoursite's image gallery.

Image gallery categories.

If user albums would have categories associated with them, then:
- admins would create appropriate categories
- users would have to select a category for their albums (drop down)
- a main page with the categories could be created.
- under these categories one would see all albums associated with that category.

If anyone thinks this is doable and wants to do this, then your efforts will be highly valued by me and many other vb admins.

Abe1; do you think this is possible?
Would you be interested in expanding your software with these features?

installed - thanks

Any ideas on how to fix the navbar link in cmps? that is the only thing spoiling a great mod.

[OsideRida06]

Just change the link in your navbar to the actual url. http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/all_albums.php. Or what ever it is.

forgive my ignorance - I cannot find where to do this. I have searched the navbar template and there is nothing there. Cannot find this option anywhere else either.

thank you for any help

Installed and Nominated. This is just about the first thing my user's asked for after I upgraded to 3.7.

Note - I had to manually place the link in my quicklinks. This is probably because my quicklinks div code is in my header template (not in the navbar template).

Installed. Thanks for the great mod!
