Picture and Album Gallery for vB4
This is a simple mod written out of frustration with the lack of such a basic feature in vb4 (and vb3, etc....)
Features: Adds a Gallery drop-down menu to the nav bar OR to the navtab which allows browsing AND searching of all pictures and albums on your site.
The search function searches the 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 gallery and menu is phrased.
Tested with Vbulletin 4.0.2/3 (note: earlier versions have not been tested and are not supported) AND vBadvanced 4 beta1.
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 get images overlapping the borders then you have inconsistent thumbnail sizes - you need to: AdminCP->Maintenance->Update Counters->Rebuild Attachment Thumbnails
If you want to hide the Gallery menu from guests then edit the Gallery navbar (or navtab) popup menu plugin and change $allowguests = from true to false
Installation
Unzip the download package and copy the contents of the UPLOAD folder into your forum folder.
Go to the VB AdminCP->Plugins & Products click "Manage Products". The click "Add/ImportProduct" at the bottom of the page.
Click "Browse" button and point to the product-gallery-(etc).XML file included in this ZIP package.
Click "Import"
Once the gallery import is complete, click "Add/Import Product" again and select EITHER product_gallery_navtab-xxx.xml OR product_gallery_navbar-xxx.xml depending on where you want the gallery menu to appear (navbar or navtab).
... all done
Updates
To update from an older version you MUST uninstall the product (admincp->manage products: delete Picture and Album Gallery). Then re-install as above.
v1.08 tested on vb4.0.3 v1.07 Fixed navtab menu - picture and album URLS swapped
Converted navtab/bar into products to make installation easier. v1.06 Due to popular demand added navtab drop down menu (with help from TimberFloorAu )
Cleaned up code and templates v1.05 Phrased menu items - upgrade is not required unless you use other languages. v1.04b fixed database connection issue
deleted unused template from product xml v1.03b Changed permissions to allow guests to view thumbnail galleries
Added phrasing for main gallery code.
Removed navbar template - replaced by plug-in code
Changed album display template from albumbit to album_latestbit (it works better!)
Various template mods to clean up display v1.02b Wasn't remembering search query between pages.
This is my first "proper" product so comment/criticism/etc is welcome
The picall and album all options dont work for me - page not found.
Simplest solution is just to copy the two files to your web site root directory (hover over the menu options and the browser status will tell you where it is looking to find the file).
I'm sorry for my bad english.
I've used the addon so far without any problems.
Recently works only "picall" perfect, "albumall" the page displays, but the page loads and loads, because it can't show the preview images.
All other albumfunctions works fine.
I have a guess but I'm not sure.
This problem has existed since the update vBSEO 3.5.1 to 3.5.1 PL1 vBSEO (vB 4.0.5)
