Dont forget to click

Update 03/24/2005
If you get error loging out of album:
in page_header.php, line 110

replace

PHP Code:

"url_logout" => (!empty($url_logout)) ? $site_sess->url($url_logout) : $site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."logout.php"), 


by

PHP Code:

"url_logout" =>(!empty($url_logout))?$site_sess->url($url_logout):$site_sess->url($url_app."login.php?do=logout&u=$user_info[user_id]"), 


Update 10/30/2004
Since meny people have problem with vB usergroup, I've add Usergroups arrays,
Now you can set multiple custom user groups to be USER, USER_WAITING, or ADMIN
By default:

$waitinggroups = array(3, 4); // vB Group should be waiting for moderate. seperate each group by comma
$usergroups = array(2, 7); // Groups that are USERS in album. seperate each group by comma
$admingroups = array(6); // vB groups that are ADMINS in album. seperate each group by comma

Update 10/20/2004
Sincemeny people ignore to config the "VB_TABLE_PREFIX" inconfiguration,I've pull all the prefix into one place, and make STRONGrequest tocheck this one.
If your album works fine, you dont have to update your files.
If you do want to apply the changes, here's where you can check:

constants.php
define('VB_TABLE_PREFIX',''); // your vb tableprefix. vB default is blank
define('SESSIONS_TABLE', VB_TABLE_PREFIX.'session');
define('USERS_TABLE', VB_TABLE_PREFIX.'user');

sessions.php
define('VB_TEMPLATE_TABLE', VB_TABLE_PREFIX.'template');

Update 06/25/2004
Clean up some codes, add some more instructions. Adding constants for Cookie prefix, cookie timeout, album folder ...
If your album works fine, you dont have to update your files.
If you do want to ... work again, just follow all the steps


Update 06/22/04
IF you have "Remember username/password?" problem with album (Album session dont remember your logged in if you go directly to album - installed before 06/22/04)

Edit the attached sessions.php, and replace the VBLICENCE_NUMBER, and upload to your album/include/sessions.php

OR

Manually edit:

In 4images sessions.php

Look for

PHP Code:

 if ($this->read_cookie_data("bbpassword")==$this->user_info['user_password']&&$this->user_info['user_level'] > USER_AWAITING) { 


replace by

PHP Code:

 if ($this->read_cookie_data("bbpassword")==md5($this->user_info['user_password']. 'XXXXXX')&&$this->user_info['user_level'] != USER_AWAITING) { 


CHANGE XXXXXX with your Licence Number, located on top of any of your vB file

NOTE: for those runing into table doesnt exist problem, check your VB_TABLE_PREFIX variable

Table '4images.template' doesn't exist
DB Error: Bad SQL Query: SELECT sessionhash FROM session
Table '4images.session' doesn't exist

OK, I have installed this hach and have the same table issue!!!

PHP Code:

DB Error: Bad SQL Query: SELECT template FROM template WHERE title='options'
Table 'gallerydb.template' doesn't exist

DB Error: Bad SQL Query: SELECT sessionhash, lastactivity, host, userid FROM session WHERE sessionhash = '9f580daff7691a3a3d9fc7edee1a4580' AND host = '82.69.76.24'
Table 'gallerydb.session' doesn't exist 


I DO UNDERSTAND that I have to have the 4images tables in the VB database BUT how the hell do I get them into there?

Also do I have to change the config.php in 4images route to also have my forums database name and password (if so I did not see that in the install readme).

[edit]

OK when you say a FRESH install........ Do you mean that when you run the install script for 4images you have to fill in the database as your on VB details???????

[XrayHead]

Right I have fixed this now.

I did a fresh install of 4images and when I ran the install I put my VBulletin database details into the 4images database settings. Ran the install and hey presto I now have the correct tables in my VB database!!!

It dose not say this anywhere in the install instructions and it would be really useful if you could add what I have just stated.

When I say "fresh install", I mean you make a NEW installation for your album.

It does state clearly in the instruction note that

2. 4images tables and vbulletin tables have to be in the same database.

maybe you skip the "Notes before you install" section.

[XrayHead]

No I did not skip the notes, (I read them about 20 times and could not understand how to get the tables into my database) I was also searching for a script in this thread that would install the new tables into my database for me!!!

I think the hack is very good indeed and a lot of work must have gone into it.
I have had my forum running for 3 years now, why would I not read or skip something that could mess it all up?

2. 4images tables and vbulletin tables have to be in the same database.

I would suggest that you include in the install file that you have to enter YOUR OWN forum database details when you run the install.php for 4images!!
As you know when you install Vbulletin fresh it destroys ALL tables within the database, I was worried that the 4images would damage my database (although I had backed it up prior).

I hope this makes more sense of what I am trying to say and I hope it helps others with the same problem.

PS, Thanks again for a really good hack (have it installed and working a treat on my site) finally. :squareeyed:

Did the integration today and i got problems accessing the admin area.

I never did have problems previous to the integration...

When you check this pic below, its obvious i have a path problem somewhere but ive double checked it all and cant figure out where it is...Exactly what bit of code is being utilized here.

Once i get this once sorted, then ill move onto login...Quite frankly ive had exactly the same problem with Coppermine and spent 2 days on it...gave up on that in the end...but it worked flawlessly before integration. I feel like just forcing my users to double login if they want to use it...personally i wouldnt bother me..

Anywayz if somebody could help id really appreciate it...

Ok what directory did you install the 4images to?

I have mine in the following "/home/lsmith/public_html/vboard/gallery/"
And access it via http://www.my_url.com/vboard/gallery/
And Admin would be via http://www.my_url.com/vboard/gallery/admin/

I have just installed this and it works a treat, let me know if you need any help.

[XrayHead]

Ok I had a look at your site and you are useing the wrong url to login.

Have a look at the attached.

Interesting. How can you call a login.php when it never exists in admin folder? or you created one? It should be index.php

album/admin/index.php

with this hack, if everything works properly, your users dont have to double login.

I installed for my 4images, but I can't login. Can you help me ?
