Add-On Releases - Picture and Album Gallery

Picture and Album Gallery for vB4

This is a simple mod written out of frustration with the lack of such a basic feature in vb4 (and vb3, etc....)

Features:
Adds a Gallery drop-down menu to the nav bar OR to the navtab which allows browsing AND searching of all pictures and albums on your site.

The search function searches the album title, album description, picture caption AND username.

Note: If guest permission AdminCP->Usergroups->UserGroup Manager->Unregistered/Not Logged In->Can View Albums is "yes" then they will be able to browse album and picture thumbnails - they may NOT be able to view the full-size pictures. To hide the gallery menu from guest see Settings below.

The gallery and menu is phrased.

Tested with Vbulletin 4.0.2/3 (note: earlier versions have not been tested and are not supported) AND vBadvanced 4 beta1.

Settings:
None are needed - it does what it says on the tin .

AdminCP->Options->User Profile:Album Options "Pictures Per Page" and "Albums Per Page" control the number of thumbnails displayed per page in each gallery type.

If you get images overlapping the borders then you have inconsistent thumbnail sizes - you need to:
AdminCP->Maintenance->Update Counters->Rebuild Attachment Thumbnails

If you want to hide the Gallery menu from guests then edit the Gallery navbar (or navtab) popup menu plugin and change $allowguests = from true to false

Installation

1. Unzip the download package and copy the contents of the UPLOAD folder into your forum folder.
2. Go to the VB AdminCP->Plugins & Products click "Manage Products". The click "Add/ImportProduct" at the bottom of the page.
3. Click "Browse" button and point to the product-gallery-(etc).XML file included in this ZIP package.
4. Click "Import"
5. Once the gallery import is complete, click "Add/Import Product" again and select EITHER product_gallery_navtab-xxx.xml OR product_gallery_navbar-xxx.xml depending on where you want the gallery menu to appear (navbar or navtab).

... all done

To update from an older version you MUST uninstall the product (admincp->manage products: delete Picture and Album Gallery). Then re-install as above.

Hi,

I solved the problem by uninstalling "Navbar menu for Gallery" and manually creating a menu of links in the navigation bar of the forum. The script works fine in vb 4.2.1.

can you say us the process you did? kindly write it step by step.

Hi,

If you have not installed anything, install only "Picture and Album Gallery", but do not install "Navbar menu for Gallery" or "Navtab menu for Gallery", and jump to the second step.

If you have installed "Picture and Album Gallery"

First step:
Uninstall "Navbar menu for Gallery" and/or "Navtab menu for Gallery"

Second step:
Create a new menu in the navbar: AdminCP->Options->Navigation Manager->Forum->Add menu / Title: Gallery - Show Permission Name: member (or leave this field empty if you want anyone, registered or not, can see it)

Third step:
Create a link in the new menu: AdminCP->Options->Navigation Manager->Forum->Gallery->Add link / Title: Images - URL: picall.php

Fourth step:
Create other link in the new menu: AdminCP->Options->Navigation Manager->Forum->Gallery->Add link / Title: Albums - Url: albumall.php

Fifth step:
Optionally, you can also create, in the same way, other links on the new menu to access my albums, open new album or recent albums, entering in the URL field, the corresponding links:

• Title: My albums - Url: album.php{session.sessionurl_q} - Show Permission Name: quick_links_albums
• Title: Open new album - Url: album.php?do=addalbum
• Title: Recent albums - Url: album.php?do=latest

Only for vBulletin versions 4.2.1 and above.
Currently running in version 4.2.2

Best regards and sorry for my english
