Name: Album.pl - UBB-Integrated Photo Album Description: Adds a ubb-member-database-integrated photo album to your site. Author: Mike Bobbitt Link: Support/Download Page Demo: http://perl.bobbitt.ca/cgi-bin/album.pl Requirement: UBB™ 6.x - tho it can run standalone  Notes: Version 6.1 is here! I thought it would be a good time to begin a thread here, since the old one is in the 6.0 forum and 23 pages long

QUESTION: Which file do I edit to make Album.Pl look basically like my forum? I tried the album.pl file to no avail. Is it the .tml files? ![[Linked Image]](http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/_950/lamer.gif)

This is a great feature for communities.
I hope it makes it into the standard UBB.classic.

I have a problem when installing this on Win 2K server... When using the upload feature, the software requires the web server to have write access to the TEMP directory. Apparently this isn't the Windows default Temp directory, it's a temp directory defined by IIS ( according to Mike Bobbit who made the software ). Have any of you installed this on Win2K? If so, can you tell me how to change where IIS wants the Temp directory to be? Right now, it's wanting the root of my web directory to be the Temp directory and I can't allow write permission there! That would be suicide! Thanks for your help.

V6.2 has been released. Note that there are a number of fixes, including a security fix that prevents users from execuruting programs from the hosting system. (Programs are executed with the privileges of the web server user, and have to be pre-existing on the system.) An advisory detailing the problem will hit BugTraq on April 27th. (Thanks to AresU for finding this and for responsible disclosure!) As a result, I *strongly* recommend that everyone upgrade to V6.2. Download here . New Features- Added a new "Popular" option. This shows the 10 (by default) most popular photos or albums. Popularity is based on rating, number of times rated and number of times viewed. New for this feature: popular_button and most_popular config items, thmb_album_popular.gif graphic, popular style sheet class and updated album_header.tml.
- SSI setting for popular modes defines number of images to display. (I.E. ssi=10 shows 10 most popular)
- Added self-administration: users can now create sub-albums and set album thumbnails for albums they own.
- Added new user class: guest. Guests are defined through the "default_guests" config item, and are like regular users but cannot upload.
- Added ability to set photo and album owners through the "Update Titles & Descriptions" form.
- Admins are now excluded from quota checking.
- A "thmb_root.jpg" image added to the root album will now be used as the album thumbnail for the root album.
- Re-organized Configuration Management screen into sections.
- Added "Edit User List" capability for flatfile authentication (authentication_type=1). This form shows up on the Configuration Management screen.
- Added jhead_comments config item, which uses jhead to automatically insert a photo's title/description (if present) as a comment in the EXIF header.
- Added a check to ensure the style sheet is working, through the use of a "hidden" class that hides the error when things are working properly.
- Added "postupload" config item, which allows an ImageMagick command to be run on a pic after upload.
- Added 2 new sort options: newest first and oldest first, by file creation date.
- Added public_albums option to protect only photos (thumbnail view is pulic).
- Login errors now display as a popup window.
- Improved "fatal error" troubleshooting.
- Jump Station will now go to target album on click (submit not required).
- Automatic ImageMagick sensing for new configs has been added.
- Allowed entered passwords to override cookies.
- Made DB code more robust.
Bug Fixes- Major security hole fixed where any program can be remotely executed has been closed -- thanks to AresU for finding this and for responsible disclosure!
- Fixed broken SSI code - it now won't display all the "extra stuff" in SSI mode. The ssirecentuploads style class has also been updated.
- Fixed security hole around creating albums.
- Fixed bug where first level sub albums showed their own thumbnail for the "root" album's nav button.
- Fixed problem where ()'s in album filenames broke the nav footer.
- Photos without a thumbnail are no longer displayed on the "Set Album Thumbnail" screen.
- Fixed "Update Titles & Descriptions" bug for "empty" albums.
- Movies can now be viewed when browsing through a batch of photos and movies.
- Fixed a bug where setting thumbnails for sub-sub albums threw an error.
- Fixed a bug where the "Full Size" viewing button didn't work if you had defined a default size.
- Removed double /'s from thumbnail links.
- Fixed a bug where rating_location wasn't being honoured.
- Fixed broken movie links on search results page.

Note: at least one site has been hacked through the album.pl vulnerability, so I can't stress enough that users should complete this upgrade.
There is also a quick patch available here for those who don't want to tackle an upgrade right away:

Ummm. I'm not really familiar with UBB.x's underlying settings. In case there's similar to UBB.thread's, here *they* are (from the Database section of album.cfg):
db_driver=mysql
db_name=[dbname]
db_hostname=localhost
db_user=[username]
db_password=[password]
db_port=3306
db_membertable=w3t_users
db_username=U_LoginName
db_passwdfield=U_Password
If anyone knows of corrections for UBB.x, I'd gladly add them to the config notes...
Cheers

The settings should be: db_driver=mysql db_name=[yourwebsite_com] db_hostname=localhost db_user=[username] db_password=[password] db_port=3306 db_membertable=USERS db_username=USERNAME db_passwdfield=PASSWORD I've gotten as far as getting a line 2696 error I posted a similar thread @ infopop http://community.infopop.net/2/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=729094322&f=1853060105&m=3403056517 I'll have to check the case settings for the table/fields when I get home

Thanks for the info, I've added it to the "standard" config that comes with album.pl...
As for the error, was there a message to go with the line number? That's pretty much smack dab in the middle of DB code, which sounds right I guess...

I've tryed to make that link work, But not having any luck with it! I even altered the line q!album_link! => q!Album!, to album_link => "album" And still doesn't work... and I'm thinking you have to add #Album
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets_mods{album_link})); Add Under: # Forum Home
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}));Would You Have any other Idea's? UBB.classicTM 6.3.1.2 Thank-You BUZN_WILDLY

Sorry I haven't replied - I don't get notified on this thread, so I never know when it's active... Do you get anything at all when you add those lines, or is it just the same? V6.3.1.2 has different templates from more recent versions (as I recall) so public_common.pl may look and act a bit differently...

The album works great on our forum installed on a Win2k box. The only suggestion I have is to sort the albums by username, not the member number. I realize that is probably hard to do, but many of my members have asked for it.

V6.3 has been released. ( Download ) New Features - You can now create links to photos in other albums. The new "Link" item on the admin menu allows you to create links to existing photos. Only the original photo exists, with links simply pointing to it. Useful for a "favourites" album, without keeping multiple copies of your photos.
- Local templates now supported. Any template files found in an album directory will automatically be used for that album.
- New buttons!
- Added ssi=2 mode, which shows actual photos, not just thumbnails. (Good for use with random/slideshow features.)
- Added support for YaBB SE 1.5.1+ password protection. Digest::HMAC_MD5 Perl module required.
- Added ####NAVPREV####, ####NAVUP####, ####NAVNEXT#### and ####NAVJUMP#### tags, for extra granularity with the navigation footer. Updated album_footer.tml to use these tags.
- Added ####MOVIESIZE#### tag for the upload form, to show the max allowed movie upload size.
- Added "logout" button for flatfile authentication (type 1). Includes logout_button config item and thmb_album_logout.gif image.
- The postupload command can now use all regular ####TAGS####. (Such as ####CONFIG=loggedin#### to show the logged in user's name.)
- Improved cookie deletion (thanks Scouter!)
- Additional check to prevent bogus config update added.
- Tuned up album_test.pl.
- Added new default_linkdir to allow fast linking.
- Added new "delcookie" function to forcibly delete any album related cookies.
New Config Items - link_button: Filename of the "Link" button graphic.
- default_linkdir: When added, clicking on the "link" button will auto create the link in this directory, instead of prompting the user for a destination (not present by default).
- logout_button: Filename of the "Logout" button graphic
- db_displaynamefield: Used to define the database field containing a user's display name. Optional.
- movie_upload_size_limit: Allows admins to specify the max size for uploaded movies, separate from photos.
Bug Fixes - User edit no longer adds a blank line to the end of the list.
- Nav "up" link now takes you up to the right page.
- Album URLs are now properly escaped, allowing characters such as + in the album filenames.
- Fixed flatfile password carryover problem.
- Fixed ssi / authentication problem.
- Fixed a bug where search results weren't displayed properly.
- Fixed up static HTML to honour local configs.
- Fixed broken movie links.
Files to replace - album.pl
- album_test.pl
- album_footer.tml
- album_strings.txt (or appropriate language file)
- Photo_Album.css
New files Enjoy! P.S. caroth, that's on the to do list, hope to get to it some time.

Do these errors look familiar? https://www.ubbdev.com/cgi-bin/album.pl And the images, even tho they are in the folder as specified in the config settings aren't being found (config settings say my setting is correct, even tho it's looking for the images in the public pages from a different url - appears to be looking for them in cgi_web and not album_web).

Allen, the path, in your case is only: cgi-bin/img/ so in the album.cfg would show something like this: quote:
# The path to the directory containing all icons and buttons. This should be relative to album.pl's location, as it is appended to album_web to get the actual URL.
img_dir=cgi-bin/img In my case was img_dir=ubb/img because I didnt want to mix the "img" folder in the cgi-bin, it doesnt have to be there. I have a question though: I dont get "Rate picture" and also dont get the Admin options: Delete, Move, Edit etc. Do you know why? Is there a page for Admin settings other than album.cfg file? http://romanianational.com/cgi-bin/album.pl Thank you, Felix

This is what my files look like... # Forum Home
#Album
push(@items, qq(<a href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/album.pl"
title="$vars_wordlets_mods{album_link}">$vars_wordlets_mods{album_link}</a>));
push(@items, qq(<a href="$ULTIMATEBB" title="$vars_wordlets{forum_acronym}">$vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}</a>)); and
%vars_wordlets_mods = (
q!album_link! => q!Album!,
q!QuickReplyShow! => q!Show QuickReply Box?!,
q!QuickReply! => q!QuickReply!,
q!QRSmilies! => q! Disable Smilies!,
q!ShowSig! => q! Show Signature?!,
q!QRWQuote! => q!QuickReply w/ Quote!,
q!QRMessage! => q!Message:!,
q!points_system! => q!Member's Points!,
q!points_link1! => q!!,
q!points_link2! => q!!,
q!mod_wordlets! => q!Modifications Wordlets!,
);
1;
Is this what you are talking about? I haven't had any problems installing any of the other upgrades/mods, but the #Forum didn't look right. Looks like I should have added to under the whole block. And the link to my album isn't showing up. Please excuse my ignorance, and thank you for the help.

Ooops, sorry guys. I've missed this thread for a while... Allen: I see it's still broken here... Looks like "membersdir" may be set incorrectly in album.cfg. If you want, I can take a look at it to see if I can nail down the problem. (Would need your album admin code...) PhillipBurum: Looks like you've got it, it appears to be working now... Felix: Modifying the header buttons is actually pretty easy, it's all contained in album_header.tml. All the *.tml files are basically HTML with special dynamic ####TAGS#### embedded that album.pl uses. In this case, you'd be looking for a line that looks something like this: <a href="####ALBUMPROG####" class="optionslink"><img class="button" src="####CONFIG=home_button####" alt="" /></a> And you could change it to: <a href="http://www.romanianational.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi" class="optionslink"><img class="button" src="####CONFIG=home_button####" alt="" /></a> I hope that helps. Cheers

Mike, I tried that first and didnt work, probably because I was trying to add one more button in the album.cfg. and swap the destination of the buttons? I dont know. Hoever, after half a day a came up with this and it works: ##################
# in album.cfg #
##################
find:
******
# Home button
home_button=thmb_album_home.gif
replace with:
**************
# Album button
album_button=thmb_album_home.gif
#########################
# in Photo_Album.css #
#########################
find:
******
/* Home, Search, Random, Upload, Recent Uploads */
replace with:
**************
/* Home, Album, Search, Random, Upload, Recent Uploads */
#########################
# in album_header.tml #
#########################
find:
******
<a href="####ALBUMPROG####" class="optionslink"><img class="button" src="####CONFIG=home_button####" alt="" /></a>
replace with:
*************
<a href="http://YOUR URL"><img class="button" src="http://YOUR SERVER/img/thmb_forum_home.gif" alt="" /></a>
<a href="####ALBUMPROG####" class="optionslink"><img class="button" src="####CONFIG=album_button####" alt="" /></a>
#######################################################################################
# #
# MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE THE NAME OF THE ORIGINAL BUTTON "HOME" (thmb_album_home.gif) #
# TO "thmb_forum_home.gif" and CREATE A NEW BUTTON "ALBUM" (thmb_album_home.gif) #
# #
#######################################################################################

Wow, these are all old problems - sorry for not checking here very often. Ilve seen both felix and autostream at my forums though, and I think their issues are resolved. Cheers

After over 5 months of work, album.pl V6.4 has been released! [ Download it here ] For new users: install instructions For existing users: upgrade instructions Note that both processes have changed significantly in this release. V6.4 release notes follow: V6.4New Features- Upgrading is now possible through the album.pl configuration menu. (All existing settings are merged with the new album.cfg.clean file.)
- The album.pl breakup begins! The main album.pl file has been split into album_admin.pm.
- Added thumbnail fading. (Thanks MessageDJ!)
- Added compatibility with Simple Machines Forum.
- Setting "default_guests" to "all" prohibits all non-admins from uploading. (I.E. all regular authenticated users are treated as guests.)
- Uses first thumbnail in an album as the album thumb, if there isn't already one.
- New ####CODE=[command]#### tag allows you to insert Perl code into your templates. Useful for changing the way album.pl runs, based on local or global template files.
- You can now use URLs like .../album.pl?random=1;ssi=2;photo_height=150 to specify a height or width for SSI images.
- album.pl no longer fails to run when "optional" Perl packages are missing such as MD5 or CGI::Cookie.
- Enhanced album_test.pl to provide "usage notes" for any Perl packages that are missing (to help assess the impact of missing modules).
- Updated templates, which now include code to honour "textmenu" settings.
- Admins can now upload files larger than the posted limit.
- Converted all included images to PNG format and created new album/photo/movie icons.
- You can now specify a file size for pic_resize upload resizing.
- Thumbnail borders are now "smarter."
- Added "All" in pages section to show all images on a single page.
- Added "showall=x" option for recent uploads to show "x" most recent uploads (default is 20).
- Users are now forced to select an album on upload, as there is no album selected by default (per_member_upload excluded).
- Moved the form tags outside of the ####UPLOAD#### tag, to allow admins to insert custom variables by editing the templates. Be sure to update album_upload.tml accordingly.
- Debug info now shows module name.
New Config Items- perl_gd: Allows the use of the Perl GD package to generate thumbnails. (Thanks to Daniel Hofverberg for the code!)
- skipalbums: Allows you to define the name of directories to "hide." (I.E. directories matching this regular expression will not be displayed as albums.)
- thumb_fading, fade_load, fade_to, fade_over, fade_out: Thumbnail fading settings.
- representative_thumbnails: Uses the first thumbnail in an album as it's "representative" thumbnail.
- allow_move: Allow/disallow users to move photos they upload.
- allow_link: Allow/disallow users to link photos they upload.
Bug Fixes- Fixed bug with shrouded images not doing proper referer checks.
- Fixed a bug with text menus and albums showing a || inappropriately.
- Fixed a bug where the user edit screen on the config screen would wreck auth_db.txt.
- Fixed the way the "edit" menu works. The "stop" checkbox is now always shown, and uses on/off as the default depending on the context.
- Quotes are now handled properly on the config screen.
- Metacharaters in filenames no longer break ratings.

What would it take to add a small image inline with the |profile|www|email|pm|edit|quote| tags..?
I'm going to be supplying photo hosting space to paying members only, and the album.pl is located on a sub-domain. Currently, I have an image under the user name that points to their photo directory, but would much rather have it setup inline, and simply be able to manage it via a checkbox in the {PERMISSIONS} section in {MEMBER MANAGEMENT}.
PS: I'm running a new 6.7.1 board.

It's been 6 months since the last release, so it's time! album.pl V6.5 has been released. [ Download album.pl V6.5 ] For new users: install instructions For existing users: upgrade instructions Please report any problems to the album.pl support forums . V6.5 release notes follow: New Features (Mostly from J.J. Frister -- THANKS!) - Multiple "viewing" levels. Based on authentication type, but generally can specify "Anyone," "Member," or "Owner" at upload time. Only the specified users will be able to see the image.
- Moving/Deleting links only moves/deletes the link, not the actual photo.
- Views are now moved with the object
- The following slideshow changes:
- Will go into slideshow mode even if popups are blocked via Mozilla, Firefox or ZoneAlarm settings -- if popups are blocked, the browser window is still the regular one, rather than the borderless one.
- Returns you to the regular view of last photo seen in the slide show when you close the slideshow.
- Degrades nicely if Java is disabled - same result as when popups are blocked.
- Fits vertical photos into the screen height if you have ImageMagick installed
- Uses the Photo_album.css settings for back-ground of the slideshow
- Behaves the same way wether you start from album.pl?photo=... or from album.pl?slideshow=5;photo=...
- Fullscreen slideshows no longer have a body margin.
- Slideshow runs faster
[*]Added image=random and image=randthumb to display random photos/thumbnails directly (no HTML, just the image itself) [*]Added the ability to rename the (system) file or directory when moving. [*]Base script has been chopped into multiple modules. [*]Added module path configuration variable. [*]Can now handle JPEG 2000 (jp2) files. - If you view from a Windows platform, the site will ask you to install the Lurawave jp2 plugins.
- If you view from a Linux platform, conversion back to jpg occurs on the fly, via ImageMajick.
- jp2 files give me small storage requirements while maintaining image quality
[*]All thumbnails are png files [*]Auto-size photo display for the current browser window. [*]Option: Only some members can upload photos and add ratings [*]Provide the option of storing login cookies permanently or only for the current session. [*]Better phpbb cookie checking. [*]Updated ratings/comments section to use the "ratings" style class. [*]Put nav footer into a table [*]Updated style color definitions [*]Ratings cleaned up in css [*]Made SMF cookie name a var [*]Strip spaces from arrays in config [*]Better updateComment checking [*]Now Uses "title" instead of "alt" [*]New german translation [*]Added default error info when string table is not loaded [*]Won't display the auto-size link/button unless ImageMagick is found. [*]if photo_height or photo_width=auto are passed, default to small size if there's no ImageMagick [*]Returns small size from getPhotoDimensions if there's no ImageMagick [*]More phpBB defaults in album.cfg [*]Made footers a table [*]Messed with static stuff [*]Frister's fixes for png thumbnails and SSI stuff [*]Changed default_size to 0 (no resize) in album.cfg [*]Added ####PATH#### [*]Added jp2 to imgexts in album.cfg [*]Moved "allow edit/move/link" etc into the authentication section. New Config Items- module_path: Location of album.pl module files.
- @jp2exts: Valid extension(s) for JPEG 2000 files.
- temp_loc : Filesystem path for storing JPEG 2000 files temporarily.
- temp_web: Web location of temp_loc.
- auto_button: Filename for new "auto" button.
Bug Fixes- Fixed problem where page was not always set right when viewing photos
- Fixed double entry in notify file.
- Fixed problem reading binary descriptions.txt.
- Fixed nav footer to work in all browsers.
- Fixed problem reading binary descriptions.txt.
- Fixed nav footer to work in all browsers.
- Fixed owner problem.
- Fixed a bug related to view level when moving phots or albums.
- Fixed jhead comments
- Fixed breadcrumb function passing
- Fixed link/move menu so it only displays when config'd to
- Fixed tooptip when using jhead
- Several JavaScript fixes.

tgreene, sorry I missed your post... All you'd have to do is edit album_header.tml which is basically straight HTML, and add in the HTML for the image(s) you want to see.
Hope that makes sense.

Mike ( or anyone) I'm back to working on my site again, and am still trying to resolve the issue I addressed above, in which I'm wanting to include a small camera icon in the row that has the other user icons in it. I'm currently having to manually add the icon and URL via a custom user tag, so it's not in the proper location. The way in which Mike has customized album.PL to seamlessly function with my UBB 6.7, was to setup Forum-9 as a restricted "Members Only" access portal, where members with access into F9 automatically being granted access and the ability to setup their own photo galleries. What I'm looking for, is for these very same members to AUTOMATICALLY have the camera icon added into the lineup of their available options. I figure that it's probably a pretty simple task ( for someone in the know) that would be done in public_topic_page.pl but I haven't a clue as to how to integrate it myself. My site is www.gr-outdoors.com and you'll quickly see what I'm trying to do here.

I don't have my files here to check, but it should be relatively simple - one could either invest a bit of time to check private forum access and write the code to show the image (which might slow down a busy site), or for no slow-down a little less time could be invested to use one of the provided extra profile fields to fill-in during the time used to give the same person access to the private forum, then all the template editing needed would be just a call to the profile field. If no-one else gets it I should be able to sometime this weekend, right after a few other things promised

NO to both questions, but in order to get it to function as I have it now, I have had to use the {Custom Title} firld in the user profile. What I currently have setup for the 3 Admins, is the following: While I don't mind having to go the manual route, I don't like the fact that it requires an overwrite of the actual user title and then dumps the 'camera.gif' icon under the Name & Title sections. Ideally, it would be setup so that ANY member having permissions setup for Forum #9, would automatically get the camera icom and a link to their photo galleries. Is this making any sense..?

I want the camera icon to be in the same row as the others, and I really don't want the {TITLE} to have to be overwritten, if at all possible... Basically, I would like it to be setup the same as if a member lists a website, where the WEB icon automatically gets plugged into that members' data, along with the URL. the only difference being, is that rather than the WEB icon, a CAMERA is used, and the URL would always point to the photo gallery, with the specific member number being appended to the end (as shown in the code above).
PROFILE || CAMERA || WEB || EMAIL || PM || EDIT || QUOTE

do-able but a little time consuming - if my wife lets me use the computer much this week I'll try to knock it out for you.  Wouldn't be a bad modification for others too, I'll use the 4th custom profile field.

OK, thank Melanie, try this (untested): https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/upload/00000494/gallery_links.txt There should be a checkbox in control panel: Member Manage: Permissions tab to check if the member has a gallery Should work then.

It's probaby this: title => Does user have photo gallery?, change it to: title => "Does user have photo gallery?", See if that doesn't cure it

Okay, I can get back into the members' data now, and I do see the checkbox, but there are still problems...
The checkbox default was/is 'ON', so I changed the value from '1' to '0', but that didn't help.
Also, the CAMERA.GIF icon doesn't show up where it should -- or at all for that matter, unless manually placed like before.
When viewing the forums (not the CP), nothing seems to have changed, even after clearing cache and rebuilding the index files.
Any other thoughts..?

The only thing that I can differentiate between being able to enable POLLS and this new GALLERY data that we've added, is that the POLLS (along with everything else) is Wordletized... ???
I tried adding $gallery into the Wordlets2.cgi, but that still didn't do anything , so this kinda has me wondering if any of of other VARS files need to be edited, or if $profile[19] somehow needs to be identified elsewhere..?

have you tried submitting the profile? It stays checked because we default it to checked, doesn't mean there's actually a '1' in the custom profile 4 ( $user_profile[19] ) line of their profile - the camera icon will not show up unless the 1 is there. Submit the profile as changed then view the file and tell me if a 1 is on line #20.
I'm at work and do not have access to a site to work on (can't do it anyway until after work, maybe tonight or tomorrow night).

I'm assuming that you're referring to line #20 in the members' data files (00000001.cgi), if not, then what file..?
If you were referring to the above file, then NO, there isn't a "1" shown on line 20, in fact, that's a blank line that appears directly above the 'http://' line.

Arghhhhh.................
I just noticed another problem (non-related) that has aparently been there all along. When you click on the {PROFILE} icon or the {USERNAME}, a new page pops up, but you're dropped off at the home page, rather than the requested profile. This ONLY happens from a Topic page, and nowhere else.

ok, no '1' appears on that line even after the submission? I may be able to look at it further this evening, tied up at work right now

Allen, I see where you were able to get the code to work by manually forcing it through the members data files, and that's exactly the look and feel that I was going for... Now, if we can just figure out how to get the proper data switch setup in the CP, all will be well in the universe.

that's where the issue is now, it may need to be a different profile line - I can get it to check, but not uncheck, or I can get it to uncheck, but not check again.

I think it's working now.... let me know if you see any bugs. File updated with fixes. If anyone else uses this they'll only need to update the url to the camera icon and album.pl https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/upload/00000494/gallery_links.txt

Good, once I got my 1's and 0's straightened out it works Note: this uses custom profile #4, it won't work if a site/forum already uses that and will need to be adjusted.

It has always worked with pretty much any version of everything, because it's a stand alone product. I have worked directly with Mike Bobbitt and Allen Ayers to fully incorporate this into my 6.7.1 sites, and as far as I know, mine are the only sites that are merged in this manner. My sites offer "options" to financially contributing members, and it was important to simply be able to turn these features ON/OFF via the UBB CP. The user's login and password info is derived from UBB, and a linked camera icon is placed in the lineup of those who have galleries. www.gr-outdoors.net - and- www.nea-reefkeeping.com Here's the new link for the ALBUM.PL software... http://dev.bobbitt.ca/album/

It's the filters in classic, making sure if someone is supposed to be linking to an image with the image tags, that it's an actual image - the cgi references within are throwing the error. Really no way around it without opening the filters to possible issues.

There is no problem with their image redirection with posting in any forum ... I myself use their legacy G1 product (CGI/Flat) as I've found several quirks with the G2 product (PHP/MySQL).
