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

One more question that I couldnt find the answer to anywhere is it possible to have a moderator group that can move images or edit comments without them having full access to the control panel or is this a no.

Ask over 4images website and see if they have or going to implement the feature.

In 4-images, I see that you can add groups and set permission. You may try and see if it might help anything. I myself having no answer for your question.

I have a quick question:

Is it possible to restrict users from viewing the images unless they have XXX posts (i'm assuming using user groups and promotions).

Sorry if it's been asked before but it's 3 AM here and I don't really have time to read every post

not tested before, but I think you can do that. try it out.

- Says you have a group called "advance members", Members are promoted to this group after xxx posts (You should be able to do this in vBulletin - How, check vB manual)

- In 4images, you should setup so that only members (and admin, I assume) can view images, moderated and guest are not able to do so. You should be able to do this in 4images too. (I dont have access to my 4images to check for you)

- In my integration, th configuration part (i think), set vBulletin member group being waiting for moderation group in 4images, and the vB advanced member group being 4images' member group.


good luck

how come when I try to login, it said I logged in but when it goes back to the index, it said I am not log in?

[JohnBee]

I installed this hack but none of my forum members can logout properly now.
everything else works fine.

any ideas?

they logout but it just keeps them logged in despite the fact that it told them
logout sucessful, when they return they are still logged in.

[JohnBee]

*** All fixed!

There was a typo in the functions.php
for some unexplainable reason, my edit would always end up as:

$name = COOKIE_PREFIX . $name;if ($name != 'sessionhash')
{
$name = COOKIE_PREFIX . $name;
}

I use DzSoft PHP Editor and I think the search /paste option is a little
funky I donno.

Anyways having cleared that up fixed my user login issues, I also modded
the who's online call to a "Image gallery" and a permantent link to the
image gallery rather than use the vBB default path link which was kind
of ugly.

Thanks to the maker for this hack, I can now click install

I have re-installed over 5 times now, everytime I get the same problem.
logout problem, login again and its as though users never left.

4images 1.7 fresh install, tables in same database, all files check out okay.
is this a known problem?

I'm taking this off unti I can confirm it work properly. with 3.0.3
also I read through the forum here and support is scattered all
over the map. "very confusing"

Is it possible to refresh the user titles? I've added the users in the arrays, but comments that were added before the Update 10/30/2004 aren't affected, the user titles are there for Mods and so on still Guest-Titles

I played trick, on each individual log on user. if his group is in admin list, then ADMIN_GROUP_ID is assign to this number. If you are admin, you only can see those who are the same group with you has admin title. If you are not admin, you can only see those in the default group (1 group) has admin title.

Should this title be important? I would just remove the title from comments

if you want to have everything behave correctly, I think you should create another field in user table, called album_level, give it default value =2 (everyone being member)< and assign those who should be admin manually.


Maybe I will re-write the hack, and give two options at a later time, when I have time to do it.

one question: does it work with 1.7.1?
