Add-On Releases - Picture and Album Gallery with Search

Picture and Album Gallery

There is a vB4 version of this mod HERE

Features:

Adds a Gallery option to the nav bar which allows browsing and searching of pictures. Also adds an album browser to the Community dropdown menu.

The search functions searches album title, album description, picture caption AND username.

Note: If guest permission AdminCP->Usergroups->UserGroup Manager->Unregistered/Not Logged In->Can View Albums is "yes" then they will be able to browse album and picture thumbnails - they may NOT be able to view the full-size pictures. To hide the gallery menu from guest see Settings below.

The product is fully phrased

Tested with Vbulletin 3.8.4/5 (note: earlier versions have not been tested and are not supported) AND vBadvanced 3.

Settings:
None are needed - it does what it says on the tin .

AdminCP->Options->User Profile:Album Options "Pictures Per Page" and "Albums Per Page" control the number of thumbnails displayed per page in each gallery type.

If you want to hide the picture Gallery menu from guests then edit the Gallery picture navbar plugin and change $allowguests to false

Two great suggestions! :up:

Any chance of some additional features with this mod in the near future?

Not at the moment - this mod is a simple browser/search. Adding categories or ratings would involve customising the vB templates and the database - a different story altogether.

For categories you could use Social Group Albums - create a group for each category and users can then add their pictures.

VB AdminCP->Plugins & Products->Plugin Manager: and clear the active box for the Gallery plugins.

Thx HCGB but i don't think that's the problem. They are already set to 150 maximum height and width of thumbnails (in Message Attachment Options and also in Album options). So the Album is displaying them ok... but the problem seems to be with the Albums that have long titles or get displayed in portrait mode (instead of landscape).

I am afraid to do the Rebuild Attachment Thumbnails as i have over 20GB of attachments... Plus, i don't think rebuilding them will change anything... as they already have 150 maximum height/width... I don't know how to fix this...
