vBulletin albums and Photopost

Peter · April 26th, 2011, 12:52 PM

Hi, I have VBulletin+Photopost Pro both latest versions and have a question.

Vbulletin has albums and let users to upload pictures, what integration that has to do with Photopost ?

Those are completely independent right ?

Can a user upload from PP to VB albums and the other way around ?
Is there a way to integrate that so a user can upload from the forum and will go to PP ?

Can anyone explain how are they supposed to work ? Because having options to upload pictures from all places and not an order to show them does not make sense.

Thanks.

Yes they are separate.

No they are different applications.

No

Just turn off your little vb albums thing which is a profile thing not a gallery under your vb admin options under profile uncheck the albums on the list of allowed profile activities.

Well, actually I do want to use them in some way with PhotoPost.

Is there a way to create a gallery from that albums ?

Its ok the user uploads through forums, the idea is to have a gallery in PP called for example "Forum Images" and have all of them there.

Can you please help me to do that ?

Thanks.

These are separate applications there is no way for you to upload to vb and have it show in your gallery.

There are no scripts for vbulletin 4 to import albums to our products.

In VB I see my pics uploaded to the gallery, I want the oposite, well, actually both things.

When I upload to the gallery it shows latest pics in the gallery in every profile of VB, I want to show also in PP latest forum pics from all profiles.

Is there a chance to make this possible ?

No it is not possible to show forum uploaded attachments in your gallery.

Maybe we are not talking about the same thing.

I am not talking about forum attachments, I am talking about the forum albums for pictures. That albums are for users to upload pictures in the forum and its not the attachments for regular threads.

Each user can create albums and upload photos there to their profiles, so I want to show the VB Albums in PP as a category.

The result will be that PP will show all the pictures upload to their albums in a category called "Forum Albums".

Explained better ?

Peter your forum content is not going to show in PhotoPost. Sorry but there is no other answer to this. Any action you take in your forum is not going to show in our application. vbulletin does not integrate with us. we integrate with it. Meaning yes we can use the forum login and show our content in the forum through plugins etc but the forum itself is not going to show in ours.
