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

i have vb3.5 rc2 and have got this hack working - i think...

only problem was, after i went through every step, i could no longer log into my vb admin panel :O

so then i backtracked and left out the step of modifying the vb functions.php which gave me vb admin access again. not sure what the functions.php editing was supposed to do, but everything seems to work fine as far as i can tell?

I'm looking to install this on my new vBulletin 3.0.8 board, I've done the 4 images install but the hack to bring both together seems a little beyond me, I may give it a try if no one comes forward, I'd happily pay a small fee for the workdone.

PM me if your interested thanks.

[Alfa166]

Has anyone just joined 4images to 3.0.8 as a fresh install ? I'm looking to do this in around 12 hours time (8pm UK time) , any help or advice would be most welcome

[vBFreak]

I'm running 4images 1.7.1 on vBulletin 3.0.7... I couldn't test 3.0.8 until now because my yearly license to download new versions from the members area is inactive and I won't renew the download access until 3.5.0 final is released, don't want to waste expensive time from the new year I would be able to download updates with release candidates

But well, it's not much to edit on your vB files, I don't think that this one and only line has been changed since 3.0.8, it's the same since 3.0.0, normally it should work without problems =)

By the way, important for all users of this integration:

After you installed the hack, don't forget to include the new security fix from the 4images Homepage!

The original announce and fix thread of that security hole can be found here, on the 4images Board, I've heard that the security hole has something to do with the sessions and it can be used to execute remote scripts on your server using to hack/damage your board/gallery/server or to spread things like spam emails for example through your server, don't know how it exactly works and what it can really do, but it really seems to be an important thingie you should care about... mtha, you should change this in your hack files, too, so the users whose will download the hack in the feature have this fix already included

in includes/sessions.php:

Change this:

PHP Code:

$user_id = ($this->read_cookie_data(COOKIE_PREFIX."userid")) ? $this->read_cookie_data(COOKIE_PREFIX."userid") : GUEST; 


To this:

PHP Code:

$user_id = ($this->read_cookie_data(COOKIE_PREFIX."userid")) ? intval($this->read_cookie_data(COOKIE_PREFIX."userid")) : GUEST;

Thanks for the confidence booster vBfreak

I'm still putting off for now as my boards are pretty virginal, I may wait for 3.5.0 to be released and then do the whole lot together :nervous:

is anybody going to make this for 3.5?

Did you replace session.php attached to your album file?

-------
Step 1.
-------
Edit the included sessions.php
Correct the variables in the Configuration part
* the following variables are important, MAKE SURE you have them correct:
* Dont forget the trailing slash
* you still need to check and make changes in the CONFIGURATION section

define('VBLICENCE_NUMBER', 'XXXXXXXX'); //REPLACE XXXXXXXX with your Licence Number, usually on top of your vB files
define('ALBUM_FOLDER','/album/'); //Your Album Folder WITH trailing slash
define('COOKIE_TIMEOUT','1800'); //Set the same with your vB timeout, in second
$url_app = "http://www.yoursite.com/forums/";

Replace the file sessions.php in your album /includes/ folder with this sessions.php

i tried transfering my gallery to a new server/domain and everything is fine, i ran the sql my database is up and running but when trying to get into the admin cp i keep getting this error:

In order to accept POST request originating from this domain, the admin must add this domain to the whitelist.

my only guess would be that it's because my gallery uses a subdomain system. and the gallery is at gallery.domain.com while my log in is at board.domain.com so what can i do about this?

[commTRU]

Hey there

I gather this works for 3.0.7 okay? Everything seems fine, except the login box doesn't appear! I use 4Images 1.7.1 and have tried the various edits to the sessions and constants file, but it still doesn't want to appear

Edit: The box now appears. Yay! But when I log in, it thanks me for logging in, and takes me back to the gallery page and I'm not logged in. I've tried everything, and I've read all 27 pages about 10 times now

When I try to login to the gallery control panel, it just redirects me to the forum as well.

[Wordplay]

problem fixed. now what i'd like to know is, is it possible to have 4images comments use the vbulletin smilies?

and is it possible to have the comments in the gallery add to user's post count?

or have the number of images uploaded be shown in user's postbit/profile?

Are you still running RC 2, or have you upgraded to RC 3? Any problems? Looking for a update for RC 3...
