The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

nosaj · #1 03-20-2005, 01:34 AM

Hi all,
I have spent hours and hours reading about integrating a Photo Gallery with a Forum. I have determined that vBulletin is the best Forum software. But after doing much reading here and at many other Forums, I still don't know which is the best Photo Gallery software to do the integration. Any advice from users who have had positive or negative experiences with the integration of any of these programs?

URL's with successful integration would be worth a thousand words!

Thanks,

Jason

Check past threads, identical queries have been raised in the past many times.

Nothing against Vbgallery, i just have been a photopost user from the go. I like the total integration that Vbgallery offers, and the price is great, but i already own photopost. Next site i do , i will give it a try.

Same here. I already have access to a photopost, so I haven't spent much time with others.

Though, if I was ever going to get a new one, I'd either code one myself or go for the vBA gallery.

vBa Gallery ALL THE WAY! vBa Gallery is TOTAL integration, cheaper than photopost, and the customer service from VBadvanced is much better. After switching from Photopost to vBa Gallery, I was bombarded by emails from Photopost telling me that I made a bad mistake blah blah blah, but my members are much happier with vBa Galley, and so am I.

I am part of the vBa staff, however I am mostly a volenteer there. So my views and opinions may be baised.

I have personally never used photopost. I cannot attest to its intergration level, or how good of a product it may or may not be.

What I do know is that vBa Gallery is specificly built for vBulletin. It can't run stand alone, and it doesn't work with IPB or any other forum software. as far as intergration goes, it can't be any tigther.

It does require a few file changes, mostly for administrative purpuses.

I've been using it since beta and have no complaints with it

4Images is free and works great. But it's not 100% integrated, for that I would suggest VbAGallery.

I actually don't like photopost that much, I mean its nice and all, just to cluttered IMO! I just installed coopermine and its integrated with my registration stystem and style of my forums! http://www.muscle-mustangs.com/photos/index.php My first choice, however, woudl be vbgarage

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
