=============================================
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.

Thanks! ^^

Oo is it possible to call this inside templates? so fai i've been able to add it via iframe, but it's not the same.

PHP Code:

<?php
 include("./random.php");
?>

Like said previously, any idea how to stop redirecting to forumhome when logging in via gallery?

Also, how would I fix it so that when you click on a member name (while in gallery) it shows their uploaded pictures to the gallery instead of going to their memberinfo on vbForums? (Like it would do pre-integration).

Thanks

EDIT:

To stop going to memberinfo when you click on a member name edit sessions.php

And comment out this line, like this:

//$url_show_profile = $url_app."member.php?u={user_id}";

That seemed to do it for me.

Anyone manage to solve this log out issue?

All my files are in order from what I can tell.

Forums i'm logged in but when I click Gallery, i'm logged out and when I log in, I get redirected back to the log in screen.

[obmob]

Well, i installed this in 1.7.2 and start to have that problem if users sign in via 4images.

Also, i'm getting some troubles in admin section. When you try to edit images or categories, after you do, you are redirected to index instead of admin/index besides that... 4images is still my favorite, Photopost is too unfriendly and vBA doesn't have all 4images have u.u

[Neal-UK]

aye shame that. I get redirected to index via admin instead of admin/index.

On same version as you
