Installed yesterday and generally very pleased. Much simpler than PhotoPlog. Had to select a category to post this but none were really relevant.

I installed this yesterday and so far, very good. My only complaint is that the thumbnails in the random thumbs at the top of my forum seem to generate pretty slowly. Never had that type of delay when using previous galleries. I used VBGarage for years and recently after updating my forum tried Photoblog. Both of those generated the thumbs very fast. Why so slow with this one?

One other question. Under settings, general options, gallery layout there is an option for VBStyle or New. I have switched back and forth and see no difference. Is that only for if you create a new style or what?

Thanks for a good mod.

Maybe I'm missing it but I just looked and don't see a link from a members postbit or even from their profile to their picture gallery. That is pretty much a deal breaker for me. I did purchase the Thanks system and like it but for this mod, the no links is a huge oversight in my opinion.
 
Found some code from another mod to add a gallery link to the post bit. Doesn't quite work though. It was actually written for Bulletin 3.7 and not 4.2. Maybe somebody smarter than me can tweak it to work.

Code:
<div class="smallfont"><a href="http://www.venturerider.org/forum/dbtgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=$post['userid']">User Gallery</a></div>

Of course it adds the text "User Gallery" but when you click on it, it just takes you to the general gallery and not the specific users albums.
 
I'm not a coder but I will eventually figure this out. I have to believe though that somebody here who knows what they are doing could answer this pretty quickly. Oh well.
 
Never mind. I finally figured it out.

For anybody else looking to add a link to the users gallery from your Postbit, here is how I did it.

Edit template "Postbit".

Now you can put this where you want but this puts it just under the username in the Postbit.

In template "Postbit". Find:

Code:
vb:raw post.onlinestatus}

Just after that, paste:

Code:
<div class="smallfont"><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/dbtgallery.php?do=view_user&id={vb:raw post.userid}">User Gallery</a></div>

Of course change the URL to the actual URL to your specific forum.
