Major Features

Multiple Instances You can run an unlimited number instances of the gallery on the same forum with same set of files! Each instance can have a different look and feel to it, and with enough work can have a completely different function because of the system we built it on.

AJAX integration We used AJAX wherever we could to help reduce the page reloads

Automatic resizing and thumbnail creation As long as your server can handle it, the users can upload whatever size pictures they want. The gallery will control the size displayed and stored, and will even create a thumbnail, all automatically. Users no longer have to worry about resizing their images to fit what your forum specifies. If you do not have a server with the power to resize images (GD image library can get pretty memory intensive) then you can set the gallery to reject images that do not fit into your size criteria.

User Albums Users can create their own image albums to organize and display sets of their images. Albums can also be set to hidden and/or password protected. So users who want to have images for only certain friends or not visible to anyone else at all can easily organize them.

Hmmmm.... forget the last message, I may have figured it out. Sorry for the bother.

I just posted v1.2.2

v1.2.2 contains the following:
Added - stylevar for max image width
Fixed - Image width issues when viewing an image
Fixed - Image upload must select a category, option for none removed
Fixed - Removed View Full image link since it's no longer needed
Fixed - CMS block error
Fixed - Category name with special characters when viewing image
Fixed - unknown field when browsing categories
Fixed - bad query on forumhome plugin
Fixed - CMS, Forumhome and sideblock hidden album images being displayed
Fixed - edit other users image now shows users with permissions as well as usergroup set admins
Fixed - set default width/height for images in default instance if not set to keep from getting errors after fresh install
Fixed - edit image thumb missing when editing youtube image
Fixed - hidden album not being set on create when selected

Now when viewing an image it will check if the style has a max image width value and if the users gallery profile has a max image width value.
If the image width is larger then the lowest of the two, it will use the lowest setting for the display image width, otherwise it will use the image width.

I just install 1.22 and was hoping this may have been fixed. When you browse your albums there is no next or previous buttons to look through all your pics, only a delete button. See attach

@Alibass In what part of the Gallery are you viewing your images? I have a previous and a next button on mine, did have before this update also.

Click on my profiles, scroll to bottom and pic an album that has lot's of pics or more than you have set to display. You'll see nothing but a delete button. The mod doesn't allow you to go to other pics in the album to delete images.

Ahh ok, I'm sure Dylan will get you sorted

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not omnipotent
I didn't fix it because no one reported that it was a bug and I didn't notice it. There are a couple problems with that it seems. With the ajax buttons it doesn't show them, with the vbnav it shows the next/prev buttons but they aren't working correctly. I'll get them fixed.
Is there anything else you noticed that someone hasn't reported yet? There is quite a bit to the gallery and sometimes I might miss something if it's not reported.

I was actually going for amusing instead of snooty, but I guess it doesn't translate well in text. I'll have it fixed for the next version regardless.

Dylan,
thx for another great MOD.

It has so many options I might have overlooked something and have a couple questions.

From my understanding this can replace the "standard" vBulletin albums?
I guess I can NOT delete the albums from the "standard" vBulletin after importing as I would loose all the links from their images/albums posted before installing your MOD?

Could you add a an option with link to a members pictures/albums into the "member settings" sidebar?

I had to import about 5000 images and it went well until about 4500 and then the server timed out.
Would it be possible to have an option to import only a certain amount at once in a session in the import settings from your MOD?

thx
Michael
