If you like this Modification recommend it for MOTM and remember to Click INSTALL for future updates

13th August 2008 - vBulletin 3.7 Bridge Released: Download is now available
vB iGallery V2.02 now available.
More features and very easy installation, optimized and brand new User Guides - also added the fully layered PSD to design your own background images. Demo V2.02: http://www.digitalport.co.uk/digital/vb_igallery.php

Revision: 1.01(XML based Only)


vB iGallery 1.01 (XML based only) requires no database to function
(see V2.02 below for full vBulletin bridge to User Albums)

about:
vB iGallery is an XML based gallery, therefore uses no database queries. It uses Papervision3D flash technology, giving you a unique 3D gallery Xperience. Fully tested on default and custom styles, and cross-browser compatible. Coded to work with vBulletin's DHTML menu system, to stop menu's dropping behind the flash object.

This XML version uses it's own album directories - it is not integrated with vBulletin 3.7.x user albums yet. However, this will be done in a future update.

Features

• 3D Gallery in a virtual world
• Controlled by mouse and keyboard
• Various Zoom features
• Spinning Gallery - mouse controlled
• Zoom in/out of gallery globe - mouse or keyboard
• Tooltips available on all images
• Descriptions show on full image display
• Override attributes - we list more soon

Installation
Full installation instructions are provided in Word and PDF formats, within the download package. Easy install requiring uploading of files/folders and one template edit.

This will fix the thumbnails not showing after installation. User Guides will updated to reflect this issue.

AUTOMATIC UPDATE NOTIFICATIONS
If you receive another notification about an update within the past 12 hours, this is auto-generated by vbulletin.org if the main release post is changed. I have made a few changes to this post due to some confusion between the 2 versions available. Please make sure you download the correct version for your forum.

well if you have broke it and by that i think you mean the pics etc then reload the vbi_images folder and overwrite then you will be back to square one in relation to images.

You will have to resize (if not at the size already) your wanted images then upload them to the folder.

Then resize and upload your desired thumbs for those images and upload to the folder.

Nothing is new. vBulletin auto-sends notifications out if the modification post is altered in anyway. All I've added is a French User Guide translated by Sofia.

[Megatr0n]

Oh OK. I was wondering.

Can you tell me roughly when the update featuring integration with vB albums be released?

With this initial release that is correct. This will be changed when I update it to a full vBulletin integration, with many new features available. It will become a product XML import and will display images directly from vBulleti's 3.7 user albums, if selected. There will be other 'bridges' for Photopost pro, photoplog, and a few others that can be used.

Basically, this first release was just a standard non-database use release, and all images defined within the XML file. With future updates this will be totally changed, and everything will become easier to use.
