Major Features

Multiple Instances You can run an unlimited number instances of the gallery on the same forum with same set of files! Each instance can have a different look and feel to it, and with enough work can have a completely different function because of the system we built it on.

AJAX integration We used AJAX wherever we could to help reduce the page reloads

Automatic resizing and thumbnail creation As long as your server can handle it, the users can upload whatever size pictures they want. The gallery will control the size displayed and stored, and will even create a thumbnail, all automatically. Users no longer have to worry about resizing their images to fit what your forum specifies. If you do not have a server with the power to resize images (GD image library can get pretty memory intensive) then you can set the gallery to reject images that do not fit into your size criteria.

User Albums Users can create their own image albums to organize and display sets of their images. Albums can also be set to hidden and/or password protected. So users who want to have images for only certain friends or not visible to anyone else at all can easily organize them.

I downloaded the demo and images are still not displaying. There was no information on importing from photopost. Your support tickets are not working on your website. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Thanks.

That depends on the steps you took to import, without this information I have no hope of diagnosing your issue.

Support tickets are working fine @ our site, make sure you're selecting from the drop-down manually and that you are not using any script blocking extensions in your browser.

did this never happen? lol....thats a very old post but im getting to look closer again and seeing a few more things i dont like with this...

im willing to hack it in even if anyone will help but this is the features i want to see:

1. profile block with gallery albums(since the vb one is turned off and replaced by this, seems a logical oversight)

2. activity stream updates of album creation and/or image additions(its really not a proper activity stream if its ignoring the entire gallery system)



also btw, not sure anyones mentioned it so just a tip that after pushing hard nearly a year for them to fix the photopost importer, as of its last update it will at least complete but does not import user albums AT ALL or respect private content from photopost

If the features are not in the current version, then probably not.

We've received no further feedback on the PP Pro importer, but if enough people submit feedback wanting it to change it's certainly something we can look into

[IggyP]

fair enough....i know there are some ppl, but im not sure if it would be the big diff of them using your product or not....but then again, by the time they test to find out, they already purchased pro anyway, just sloppy practice but i guess you guys have alot of projects and whatever....

regarding profile block and activity stream tho....cant this be added with a hook? im only smart enough to cause problems lol i dont know how to pull or list the data.....i assume theres going to be the custom data, which could be pulled into a by php to a default sideblock profile widget....i dont know the php code part tho...

....just if case any chance its simple enough to share the code, i honestly do not know

..same with activity stream if anyone will share that would be great for users of this product

[X-or]

A couple of questions :
1. can you convert regular albums from vbulletin
2. is it integrated in the activity stream

[DragonByte Tech]

There are album imports yes, I don't believe it integrates into the activity stream at this time.

Fillip

OK, thank you.

Regular albums are integrated in the activity stream.

[Mellow]

Can you reorder the images within a gallery? What's the default sort order? filename/date/etc?
