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

If you really have to ask that question you should not be allowed anywhere near a mysql database lol.

Slowly back away...

I don't know if this has been posted here or not, but this regards UserGroups for vB and 4Images.

To use UserGroup permissions from the forums in 4Images, open the 4Images constants.php file and find-

// User groups level
$waitinggroups = array(3); // vB Group should be waiting for moderate. seperate each group by comma
$usergroups = array(2); // 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

Then open your vB AdminCP, go to the UserGroups section, and take a look at your UserGroup ID numbers.

Add in the groups you want into whichever setting for the constants.php.

Example- I created a usergroup in vB that can't download stuff until they have so many posts.

So to prevent them from downloading in the Gallery as well, I add their vB user group number to the $waitinggroups array.

If I want my SuperMods to be admins on the Gallery as well, then I add their usergroup ID to the $admingroups array.

...and so on.

No need to create new fields in the database vB users table or anything.

I would like to remove the code that causes the vBulletin Who's Online to show people who are at the gallery (even though I removed all the vBulletin file changes in this hack). What would I change in 4images to get it to stop do ing this (or can I)?

[asianboi]

Can someone show me a first start?

- vBulletin 3.0.x installed and working
- 4images 1.7 fresh installed and working
- 4images and vBulletin are installed to use the SAME database

I understand the first part. But the second part I dont quite understand. Does it mean I gotta install them in the same database? If so, why do we have the 3rd requirement?

Couple of days ago, I got problems logging into my integrated album!!!

Out of sudden I found that I cannot logon into my album!! I always see myself as logged out in my album!! eventhough I am already logged in the VB !!

The album was running perfect !'?! I don't know what happened??
I have never installed a hack or made any modifications recently !!

I cannot understand what happened!!

asianboi,

When you install vB and when you install 4images you're asked for a database. Use the same for both, that's all.
