VB Gallery Photo Counts in Postbit

This is an Addon for PP VB Gallery and VB 3.5.4 that will show the total (current) number of photos a user has uploaded to your Photopost VB Gallery. For the other PP Products please see my profile. I apologize for any errors in advance, I am new at this

Special thanks to everyone in the coders forum as well as Zachery, Hambil, Geoligist, Developer and tn3yguy! And of course Photopost!

This hack is based on the Referers in Postbit Hack by Developer.

For support please click install!



Notes before you install!!

1. This hack will add on one query per postbit on your showthread pages. On my site it is unnoticeable but if you experience a load problem then try disabling it. I am working on a second version but it will require actually hacking PP code and this is the easier version.

2. I have 2 versions of the XML, for those that have their PPVB Gallery in the same database as VB and for folks that dont. This is unnavoidable since PPVB Gallery users seem to have dramatically different databases. I personally have my VB and PPVB Gallery installs in the same dbase so I have not tested the XML for seperate dbases. Please let me know if it doesnt work or if there is a better way.

3. [VBG/VB in Same Dbase] - Once you download the XML file (VBG Pics In Postbit.xml) you will need to open it in a Text Editor and edit the phrase 'vbgtablename' to the name of your PPVB Gallery table. If you are using the default install then it should be 'adv_gallery_images'. Do not edit this with an editor like Write or Word, use plain old notepad. Then save it and install below.

4. [VBG/VB in different Dbase] -If you are using a seperate database for VB and PP then edit the XML file (VBG Pics In Postbit-sep dbase.xml) and replace 'databasename' with the name of the Database that the VBG is installed in, then do the edit in #3 for the table name.

5. Go to your Admin cp > Plugin System > Download/Upload Plugin. Then upload the plugin.

6. Go to your Admin cp > Styles and Templates > Postbit Templates and add the following:

For Postbit

Find:

 
<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>

Add After:

 
<if condition="$show['profile']">
    <div class="smallfont">My Photos: $trackpadsvbgpbit</div>
</if>

For Postbit Legacy

Find:

 
<div>
$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>

Add After:

 
<if condition="$show['profile']">
    <div class="smallfont">My Photos: $trackpadsvbgpbit</div>
</if>

And that is it! Please click install!

So, it's OK that this mod totally fails to operate properly in the PM section -- as long as it's not indexed by search engines????

I think it should either not be in the PM section at all, or it should work as designed.

well its not one of my top priorities to be worth stressing over is what i mean. if it gets fixed yay, but im not going to add that to my plate =/

has anyone tried this with 3.6?

[theChronic]

Is there a way to make this work with 3.6.2 and vbgallery 2.0?

thnx
