a few questions...

[shooter83]

hello, i'm having some issues with getting the watermark to work, i don't really understand what the path format is suppose to be. i have tried many different methods, all of which do nothing. i just need more detail in what i'm suppose to be doing here. i'm also storing the images in the database if that helps.

second, i would like to know how to administer user galleries, i already have users uploading offtopic pictures, when only cars are to be uploaded to gallery.

my site is http://Florida3S.com feel free to add it to the list of forums running vBPicGallery.

TIA, Evan

What Rev are you running?

Are you on a server with cpanel access?

If cpanel, in vbpgconfig.php set $vbpg_path = "/home/YOUR_ACCOUNT_LOGIN_NAME/vbpg_images/";
Always add the trailing path.

Then all you do is put the watermark file in the vbpg_images folder. You do this even if images are stored in the database.

alright i figured it out, i had it right the first time. i've never worked with watermarks before, i didn't know that it actually inbeds itself into the picture. by uploading new pics, it now works. thanks!

any info on how to delete users pictures?

[Greg]

go to the gallery and as an admin you will see an edit link. Edit it and delete.

Sigh, for the time being I give it up. Now I have worked several hours but I can't see any uploaded pics. I installed your program on my vB local. All works fine, but after uploading some simple pics, I get always red x's. That means I can't see any pics. The path in the "vbpgconfig.php" is...
$vbpg_path = "http://localhost/vbulletin/upload/gallery/";

My complete path to run vB is "http://localhost/vbulletin/upload/index.php"
I created a additional directory called "gallerie". I installed the version 8. The reason why I installed this program local was, to see and to test this great program for my translation into German.

Does someone know what's wrong ? Damn it annoys me that I can't run such a nice and great program. Maybe I'm blind or I forgot something. Would be wonderful if someone tell me that I'm blind -Mike

Gee mike, you are soooo close!

You have to use a server relative path. For instance, if you are on a cpanel host, your home folder is /home/YOUR-FTP-LOGIN-NAME/

But you need a folder for your pics. That should go in the same folder the public_html folder is in and set to 777 writable readable all. So you create a folder named vbpg_images.

Then the path to your images is...

/home/mike/vbpg_images/

in the vbpgconfig.php file. Replace mike with your actual cpanel login name.

Hope that helps ya.

Hi my friend
no chance. I tried really all but I still see only red x's. No chance, I can't run your program. I have a slight clue that this program don't run on local systems. I'm going to install it Online on my forum. I will get back to you. -Mike

[MikeD]

NOTHING !!! It won't run on my forum. I have tried all. It's the same like on local. Never mind. It's ok. I uninstalled your nice program Really too bad. That was such a nice program... -Mike

[Greg]

Too bad mike. We've helped everyone solve issues and understand it when asked. But if it's not live, I can't check it.

localhost tests are 100% unreliable.

[MikeD]

Yes, I know. Local host is finished. Now I tried since almost 1 hour to get it worked on my server. I tried all what you said... Nothing. OMG I get a nervous breakdown. I can't see the red X's anymore. The last chance would be when I PM you my server login datas from my Honda forum. I believe it's the last thing to get your program worked. If you can't solve I give it up. I have never have such a complex thing. My god I installed several vB Gallery programs (Image Hosting and vB Garage and all worked fine. The only problem I have is that I still can't upload images.

Gee am I so damn stupid? YES I BELIEVE !!! -Mike
