=============================================
User Integration 4images 1.7.2 / vBulletin 3.5.x
=============================================

Copyright: ? 2002 Jan Sorgalla
Integration to vBulletin 2.x by Jan Sorgalla ?
Integration to vBulletin 3.0.1 by mtha
Integration to vBulletin 3.5.0 by mtha
Constribution:
Matrixgl for re-organize the hack
d1635d for adding the fix for 3.0.1
all others for comments and suggestions
=============================================
Hack version: 3.5.0.20051117
Compatible with vB 3.5.x and 4images 1.7.2
Translated Versions:
http://www.vbhacks-germany.com/forum...ead.php?t=1969
=============================================
Features:
=============================================
- Use vBulletin's user table instead of 4images.
- Forum's members can access and upload pictures (depends on permissions)
- Forum's admin can administrate the album (unless you do the EXTRA part)
- Display Who is browsing album, in the Forum's WhoisOnline list

=============================================
Changes and modifications
=============================================
4images file to replace: 5 (sessions.php, constants.php,admin/admin_global.php,templates/default/user_loginform.html)

Query to run: 0

* If you do EXTRA part, there're few queries to run, depends on what you want to do.

=============================================
Requirements:
=============================================
- vBulletin 3.5.0 installed and working
- 4images 1.7 fresh installed and working
- 4images and vBulletin are installed to use the SAME database
=============================================
Limitations:
- This is ONLY users integration. NO template/style integration.
- This hack use default usergroup for album level, there're only 4 levels of Guest, User awaiting, User, Admin. See Extra section at the end for other solution
- I didnt look at the "cooke path" and "cookie domain" yet, so it will use the default

=============================================
Notes before you install
=============================================
1. Back up the files before you edit.

2. 4images tables and vbulletin tables have to be in the same database.

3. If you run 4images and vBulletin under different subdomains,
for example http://4images.domain.com and http://vbulletin.domain.com,
you should use the following setting for vBulletin in

"vBulletin Options -> HTTP Headers and output":

#############################
Cookie Domain = .domain.com
#############################

Dont forget the dot at the beginning, and change domain.com to your domain. If you do not do this, you might experience a login problem.

4. If you delete users, you should delete the user first over the Control Panel of 4images
and after that over the Administration Panel of vBulletin.
This is neccessary to delete/modify all user-related data from the 4images database (images, comments, usergroups).

5. Its is highly recomanded that you use integration only with fresh new installations of 4images because of the following reason:
In the 4images user-table User A has the User-ID "1".
After integration 4images will use the user-table of vBulletin.
There, the User A has the User-ID "2" and User B the User-ID "1".
All images, comments and usergroup memberships are now "owned" by User B.

6. Lot of people are getting logged out after a certain period of time. This could be fixed by changing
"Session timeout in minutes" to "0" in the 4images control panel.

Ok this is a weird bug I have. Internet Explorer users can login without any problems through the picture galleries or forums page without any problems (no matter if remember me is checked or not).

If someone uses Firefox 1.0.4 or 1.0.5 logging in through the galleries page won't work. Also when you login through the forum (which works) you are still not logged in, in the galleries. Is that a Firefox bug??

[flash7]

Login (cookie) problem here :surprised:
- the users can't access on the gallery
- the login redirect also don't work (maybe a vb bug)

vb 3.5.1
