Major Additions - Media Gallery (Photos, Audio, YouTUBE)

Since 2006 I was serving community members with my Free Mods
But as this site will starts operating by the company,
I'm no willing to support them

** File Removed **


Media Gallery
Photos, Audio, YouTUBE

Compatible with vB4.2.3

I'm offering my hard work for free, without even a single copyright line in footer, expecting that some of you will appreciate the time that I spent for coding it and they will donate something.

Demo: http://www.teriakis.com/vb423/media.php

1.- What's this?

Media Gallery it's a simple Gallery mod supporting Photo and Audio uploads and YouTUBE videos. I was looking for a simple Gallery mod for my own use and as I didn't found something meeting my requirements, I coded this mod. By saying "simple" mostly goes to the easy of use, otherwise it has some great features that you can't even find in big Galleries. It's social share ready especially for Facebook using OpenGraph Meta.

Explore it. You'll love it.

2.- Installation

1. Download the zip file, and unzip it
2. Upload the content of upload/ folder to your forum directory
3. CMOD 777 the directories:
   1. mediagallery/audio
   2. mediagallery/photos
   3. mediagallery/photos/thumbs
4. From your Admincp import product-mediagallery.xml
5. If you're using htaccess file for SEO Urls copy the content of htaccess.txt to your .htaccess file
6. Check and Set Usergroup Permissions
7. Check and Set General Settings
8. Add Categories
9. Moderation is available from ModCP.

PS: For YouTUBE videos the code with tries to fetch the video thumb. Sometimes this action stucks. In this case you can upload your own thumb.

Thanks for the mod but youtube thumbnails are not showing up.
I set directories as directed to 777 but what else should I change in order to display thumbnails? thanks again

This is a typical YouTUBE link (Share option):

https://youtu.be/Cx6lUUr1HBM

In the example above the filename is: Cx6lUUr1HBM

As for the thumb error, sorry but it comes from YouTUBE. It does not has all sizes available. Please read the early posts in this thread. You can find some solutions there.

To be honest I can't say for sure if vB4 has more installations than vB3, but for sure, vB3 seems to be more active community.

Nick, will your gallery be able to show up on the main page of the forum? Up top maybe?

I have a question, I'm having problem showing the image in this product.. It shows fine in the main media gallery as a thumb but after I click on it , it shows broken ... But If I click after that on it , it shows fine (Zoomed bigger)

I think it is problem with folder permission for folder "medium" that is not listed to give 777 permission in the readme instruction

"forum/mediagallery/photos/medium" this medium folder I mean for giving it permission 777

Is it okay to give it 777 or not ?

====Edit====

Also is their a possible way to disable the image upload and to keep only video link from youtube ?

====Edit #2===

There is no images created in the "medium" folder !

Thanks

I have this mod working for the most part: VB4.2.3

I'm running on a SSL, and this is causing browsers to block the script (To play youtube videos), due to mixed content. You can manually override this in your browser that lets the video play, but it forces the viewer to see unsecure warnings. Is there any way to get this to play automatically without the SSL interference?
