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

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.

vB iGallery V2.0.2 appears to be compatible with vB3.8.0 Beta 1.
vB3.8.0 Beta 1 navbar is one of the templates that need to be reverted. After doing so you will need to re-add access to the vB iGallery, modifying the navbar template as noted in the vB iGallery User Guide installation instructions.

Can anyone tell me how to remove this, as my thumbs aren't coming up now when looking in the albums on sites and on the profiles in the lil album section on the right. I'd like to know how to put back to before I installed this as im not sure where the Thumbs files were before making new folders and changing the paths.

Thank you

I will have to see about the vBa CMPS, there's been some mixed views on sizes, regarding the width.

Thanks for the comments! We are developing a Pro version of this modification, but its features are far more advanced, but they already include Flickr RSS support for population, YouTube video (chromeless), uploading of members own video clips, and much more. We should have a demo available soon, and all comments and most suggestions that have been made on this thread have been taken into consideration. Some of these features will be added to this free version, but not all - besides I cannot sell commercial scripts on here.

I think many of us are waiting for those upgrades here.

Any chance to put this working on Forumhome ?

[razorripper]

probably gotta be the dumbest question on this thread sorry


"We attempted to write a test file to /public_html/albums, but we were unsuccessful. Please verify that the web server has write/delete permissions for this path."


I do not have a forums directory - everything is inside public_html. I have chmod to 777 both albums and thumbnails that are located inside public_html.

Plz guide me

[syrus.xl]

This could be a CHMOD issue, rather than a path issue. Make sure your server allows the 777 write permission, on some servers this maybe 755 - this will depend on your host.

It should work in the webroot, eventhough we have made changes for a version that works outside the forum root, but this is for a vBadvanced CMPS block.

[razorripper]

i just switched it to 755 and recurse all sub directories for /albums also. still not going through.

[syrus.xl]

I'll have to check the coding working in the root, in theory it should work - but I'll check it anyway. Did you rebuild Album Thumbnails after moving them?

[SuperTaz]

Nice mod...Thanks. Installed.

[blue6995]

I'm not sure if it's because of this mod or not. I recently uninstalled it, but since then all the pictures in the albums aren't showing. Alll you can see is an outline of the thumbnail and a small red cross in the top left-hand corner.

Any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks

[lenzo]

Maybe I missed it, but I looked through this whole thread and couldn't find it.

Do you have a vba block module for this?
