Social Group and Album Enhancements - All Albums

All Albums 2.5

This hack lets you view an index of all user albums on one page. Looks like a user's index but just has all users instead of just one.

You have to upload the all_albums.php file to your root vBulletin folder. This is the file that you have to access to see all the albums.

ENJOY!

One more feature would be great... Put the link to all albums inside Community instead of the top navbar...

^^That is easily done with a template edit

^^ Yep, that's exactly where I put the link.

Is there a CMPS file for ALL_Albums Module?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello;

I am not sure if this is the proper location to post? As I also put it in a Vbulletin.org forum location. Sorry my mistake for a double post.

I installed this hack on my vbulletin navbar. It works with forum.php and vbadvanced cmps portal pages selected. But when I went to vba dynamics program, all_albums.php would not load up? (I assume it is a "page", but technically it is not actually a cmps page. It is the program opening location.) It wants to act like the file "any forum file" should be inside the dynamics directory. Of course it is not.

The all_albums.php is installed in forum root and located on original forum navbar.

So it sends me to a blank browser page when I have opened up the links or dynamics program and then click on the navbar location.. I have 3.8 and cmps 3.1 and most recent dynamics also. I suspect that the reason that I am not getting various php files to load up is because the dynamics or links main page is not wrapped with a cmps page. But since I am new to this, that is my guess?

A little help would be terrific. I have asked the same question at vBAdvanced.com as well.

I have put the all_albums.php inside of the cmps globals variables and also listed it in header, footer and navbar replacement sections of cmps. If I have done this, then should the file load up correctly when I try to redirect from the dynamics program location via the navbar.

(UPDATE: I am guessing that since I have not actually made a cmps "page" for a dynamics instance that all I am seeing is the dynamics program since no relationship has been assigned with cmps. And as a result it will not know to look for all_albums in the correct location. Am I right about this?)

I am perplexed. Is there an All_albums file for CMPS?

UPDATE: Not an ALL_albums problem: Actually I am having this problem from within a dynamics main page going to any forum.php file other than the forum and cmps portal page.

But would still like to know is there a need for a cmps type file for all_albums?

Thanks for your help?

Can we please get a way to sort by last comment made? Or better still, move the pic that has received the last comment at the top automatically.

Have we found a way to do these?

Thanks for this mod Abe1. It works great. :up:

My only small request is that it would hide empty albums with "0" pictures.
Or maybe that could be an option setting in the future?

Thanks,
James

That's a good idea James.

I have loads of those where they just seem to want to get their name or description in the list of albums or links to other places.

If anyone knows if this hack will work with version 3.7.0, I'd appreciate finding out. A direct e-mail response would be OK, as well.

Thanks,
Baron

[Hi5]

How is this mod any better than going to vb options > user album options > Recent Album Update Days and setting to 99999 ?
