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

- This hack use default usergroup for album level, there're only4levels of Guest, User awaiting, User, Admin. See Extra section attheend for solution
- I didnt look at the "cooke path" and "cookie domain" yet, so it will use the default

Dont forget to click

Update 03/24/2005
If you get error loging out of album:
in page_header.php, line 110

replace

PHP Code:

"url_logout" => (!empty($url_logout)) ? $site_sess->url($url_logout) : $site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."logout.php"), 


by

PHP Code:

"url_logout" =>(!empty($url_logout))?$site_sess->url($url_logout):$site_sess->url($url_app."login.php?do=logout&u=$user_info[user_id]"), 


Update 10/30/2004
Since meny people have problem with vB usergroup, I've add Usergroups arrays,
Now you can set multiple custom user groups to be USER, USER_WAITING, or ADMIN
By default:

$waitinggroups = array(3, 4); // vB Group should be waiting for moderate. seperate each group by comma
$usergroups = array(2, 7); // Groups that are USERS in album. seperate each group by comma
$admingroups = array(6); // vB groups that are ADMINS in album. seperate each group by comma

Update 10/20/2004
Sincemeny people ignore to config the "VB_TABLE_PREFIX" inconfiguration,I've pull all the prefix into one place, and make STRONGrequest tocheck this one.
If your album works fine, you dont have to update your files.
If you do want to apply the changes, here's where you can check:

constants.php
define('VB_TABLE_PREFIX',''); // your vb tableprefix. vB default is blank
define('SESSIONS_TABLE', VB_TABLE_PREFIX.'session');
define('USERS_TABLE', VB_TABLE_PREFIX.'user');

sessions.php
define('VB_TEMPLATE_TABLE', VB_TABLE_PREFIX.'template');

Update 06/25/2004
Clean up some codes, add some more instructions. Adding constants for Cookie prefix, cookie timeout, album folder ...
If your album works fine, you dont have to update your files.
If you do want to ... work again, just follow all the steps


Update 06/22/04
IF you have "Remember username/password?" problem with album (Album session dont remember your logged in if you go directly to album - installed before 06/22/04)

Edit the attached sessions.php, and replace the VBLICENCE_NUMBER, and upload to your album/include/sessions.php

OR

Manually edit:

In 4images sessions.php

Look for

PHP Code:

 if ($this->read_cookie_data("bbpassword")==$this->user_info['user_password']&&$this->user_info['user_level'] > USER_AWAITING) { 


replace by

PHP Code:

 if ($this->read_cookie_data("bbpassword")==md5($this->user_info['user_password']. 'XXXXXX')&&$this->user_info['user_level'] != USER_AWAITING) { 


CHANGE XXXXXX with your Licence Number, located on top of any of your vB file

NOTE: for those runing into table doesnt exist problem, check your VB_TABLE_PREFIX variable

Table '4images.template' doesn't exist
DB Error: Bad SQL Query: SELECT sessionhash FROM session
Table '4images.session' doesn't exist

If I click on the email Button of the comments in 4 images Gallery I get a incomplete URL
http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/sendmessage.?do=mailmember&u=XY

I think this is a problem of vB because they use variables for extensions.

How this can be fixed ?
the right url should look like:
http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/sendmessage.php?do=mailmember&u=XY

I think you've downloaded the old session file.

you can either download the new file in the first post, or go to edit your sessions.php and there's a link there for messages, add the .php in there

The 4images is running on a brand new install. There was no changes, however it is still portraying some members as guests thats why some people cant see anything and some can.

Have you tried logging into your 4images as a normal registered user of vbulletin and seeing if you can see everything there is, including comments and all the functions?

You must have something wrong in your settings, but it seems that even when you are logged in, you are still treat as guest.

do you have your admin account working fine?

Do you have this part setup right, and please DO CHECK and see if forum's member has groupID =2


// User levels
define('GUEST', 0);
define('USER_AWAITING', 3);
define('USER', 2);
define('ADMIN', 6);

A quick question, will this allow me to use the default vbulletin $header, $headerinclude, phpinclude, and/or $footer variables so that the layout is nicely integrated?

Thanks

you have to edit your 4images' header, footer template for this purpose. It's just easier to make another html template for this purpose.

hi,

after my update on vb 3.0.3 I can not log into 4Images anymore.

At first it's was okay, but I cleaned up my Cache & Cookies and then I can't get into it.
New Member can't get into it also.

Slowy, I'm fed up with these free stuff!

BYe

[y2krazy]

I integrated a 4images module to the CMPS homepage. Take a look here:

Thx.

Okay after I have updated my vb 3.0.1 to 3.0.3 I checked if the Gallery works and at first it has. But after I logged out of the forum, an deleted my cookies, I logged me again into the forum an went over it to the Gallery but now I wasn't logged in anymore in the Gallery. I filed up the login Form from the Gallery but it says only "Thanks for logging in Pagan!" and redirect me on the Gallery startpage but I am not logged in.

All my members have now the same Problems!

Did I miss something? Have I to change some files after I have updated to vb3.0.3?

I need help!!!!!!!!!

Bye
