Requirements:
- Most of modules require SWFAddress option enabled (Admin panel -> Settings -> Useswfaddress);
- Vote system require MySQL database.
- Notifications about new comments and votes requires Email address specified in main of your imagevue admin panel settings section
How to install:
- Download PowerPack;
- Upload folder “extras” by ftp right to root of your imagevue gallery folder
- Go to browser and open url: “…/extras/powerPack/powerpack_install.swf” (replace “…” by path to your extras folder)
- Follow instructions on the screen (NOTE: you have to be logged in your imagevue admin panel, otherwise you will not be able to access your PowerPack installator)






To bad its require SWFAddress option enabled, else i would have used it…
Well I find this thing NOT NICE
because after the Installation I have a footer with publicity not from me!!!!!!!! and I can not get off this!!!
And If I like to make a Deinstallation it will not work
I can really not give any points for this…
DO NOT INSTALL!!!!
Rolf
you can easily deactivate the footer in the settings…!
[ Settings -> Extras -> Footer -> Disable... ]
keep calm! it’s great work anyway… perhaps you should read the documentation, first ;)
Good point Nico! :)
Rolf, easy dude :)
There is no installator / deinstallator. “Installator” is a primitive php script which only copying files from powerPack folder to your gallery folders…
At installation proggress you had info what is going on currently. There’s nothing “magic” and difficult to understand…
More than this, in “Installator” is a documentation and manual installation guide. Before posting this message you should read and think a little, because that what you wrote sounds little funny ;)
cheers!
Artur
hy
after i had install it i can’t access to my admin part …
i have i fatal error from ” function strip_icon() “.
Do anyone know how to solve it ?
Hello LadisLas.
Download Latest PowerPack version – “PowerPack V1.41.zip” ( http://phillip.com.pl/powerpack/ ).
Regards,
Artur.
Great, this is what I have been waiting for!
Unfortunately it is not possible to write any comment or any name when in fullscreen mode.
If I change back to the windowed mode it is possible to type in anything and after pressing the “Send” -Button the comment is correctly stored,
In fullscreen mode I can paste any text into the comment field or into the name field.and it is possible to send the comment.
But as I said, it is not possible to type in anything in fullscreen mode, only in wondowed mode it works.
Is this a bug or have I done something wrong when configuring the powerpck?
Hello Bernhard.
This was explained in support thread -> http://imagevuex.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6947
This is not a bug, this is related to Adobe flash player specification (check your imagevue contact form).
Maybe you can add a “disable fullscreen” when we cann the form ? Because right now, it’s just unusable… I can’t understand why Adobe disabled all the keyboard standard keys in fullcreen !
mjau-mjau added the same behavior for the contact form : if fullscreen is enabled, when we click in a textfield the fullscreen is automatically disabled. I think it is a good workaround.
Can you add this to the comment form of your module too ?
Users can’t know that they must disabl fullscreen to type something !
Everything else is working good, and it’s a shame Adobe has’nt changed mind yet about this stupid “security” behavior of flash player…
Keep good work !
Yep. This is slready added in powerPack V2.1 (for Imagevue X2.8 only)
http://imagevuex.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=7498&start=15
Great addon. only for footer featured this worth.
Will be good that you make a new module (with support of imagevuex team) for we can use embed fonts at least in main menu. An external fla/swf where we can embed fonts or algo.
May be possible load a swf in footer with html?
Thanks.
Regards.
Hello Gasonline.
Thanks for your comment and suggestions.
I have already conception to make powerPack CSS-suitable with font embeding at runtime.
The footer is focused to improve in next release.
Regards,
Artur.
very cool
Artur, thanks so much !!!
Artur, have an estimated time for powerPack CSS-suitable with font embeding at runtime?
I think that this is the most important thing and is lacking in this application to be 10.
You are doing an amazing job to make the best gallery in a cms, I think you should charge for this PowerPack.
I gladly pay for this.
Thanks.
This will require more time (much more) as I have to change core of powerPack and most of the code.
Text in flash is a big pain to work on, and my first tests shows me how difficult it’s realy (I’m not a big flash coder).
Before christmass I want release stable and fast version of current powerPack (maybe non-SWFAddress) and then I’ll work on new core.
Regards,
Artur.
Hi i like your power pack could you tell me how to add a hit counter to the footer like your site? i have a php counter but when i add it to the line it wont work any ideas?
I would like to know as well…
Please refer to the Imagevue forum support thread: http://imagevuex.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=29015#p29015
Hi, I have a problem with the compilation of the table “votes” on my mysql server.
For security reasons, the system does not allow the automatic installation of the power pack, and especially the table “votes” that I should then fill in manually. Only I do not have knowledge of mysql .. as .. even with that I fill out the table data directly to my database?
Sorry for my English but I use google ..
thanks
mark
Hi Mark.
You can try install votes table manually by importing sql file into your database (the file you can download here: http://phillip.com.pl/powerpack/comments_module.zip).
Go to your SQL panel, open your database, press “import” button, select sql.sql file, upload it and aply changes.
If you’ll have problems contact me by email, or post topic in powerPack support forum: http://imagevuex.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=47.
Regards,
Artur.
I forgot, the power pack does not work with the white theme .. how can I do?
Please post technical questions in powerpack support forum.

Artur.
Great work! Thanks :)
Thanks very much :)
I’ve been trying to install this powerpack, but after I click “install” in the swf installer, I don’t manage to choose any theme, it tells me I’m trying to install it to a fresh copy, and I can’t choose any of the themes… The buttons “Use” and “Install Powerpack” aren’t available for clicking… Can you please help?
@Filgom
You have to create some theme based on one of the default themes first.
Then you’ll be able to install powerPack in this theme (which will not be default anymore)

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand :/

Dear,
Few questions regarding comments and guestbook administration:
1. how do we administrate guestbook entries (remove, edit, reinitiate…)?
2. same questions for comments on photos?
Thanks in advance for your answers
Laurent
The question is answeared:
http://imagevuex.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=30741#p30741
Hi Artur,
your link not work…
http://phillip.com.pl/powerpack/comments_module.zip
can you uploud it again?
thx
mk
Hello.
Now you can find this file in powerPack zip (extras/powerPack/appFiles/SQL.sql)
Thanks Artur now it works….
Power pack will work also for flv or mp4 extension? It is compatible also for videos (News, Rates, comments)?
thanks.
Unfortunately not.
mp4 videos are displayed in javascript (html) layer on top of the flash documment. PowerPack works only within flash.
Two simple questions
1 – Can I enable/disable the single features? For example I would need only the footer and, as in your site, the possibility to show the latest uploaded pictures.
2 – If I don’t use the vote system I need the MySQL DB anyway?
Thanks
well its a huge learning curve to grt to grips with using and setting all features on imagevue/powerpack but well worth the effort.
well pleased up to now.

Hello
I dont seem to have the ad new news button like yours
http://www.east-durham.co.uk/imag/
Hello,
Just a little issue when le webserver has PHP Notice written by default the comments cannot be parsed because the XML is corrupted like that :
Notice: Undefined index: alternativeXmlPath in /home/abalam/se-marient.biz/www/souvenirs/extras/powerPack/XML_reader.php on line 3
<commented name="
You should avoid this with an update of : XML_reader.php
<?php
$targetXML = $_GET['xmlTargetPath'];
to
<?php
if (isset($_GET['xmlTargetPath'])) {
$targetXML = $_GET['xmlTargetPath'];
[...]
Keep good work !
Yann
Sorry : and of course the same check for $_GET['alternativeXmlPath'] too…
Since this is a 3rd party module, it might be better to take all questions directly into the Powerpack forum:
http://imagevuex.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=47
How to remove powerpack’s add ons??
i have bought 3 licenses for this software..can you please reply to my mails.
the last one i installed worked fine with powerpack then i noticed that the add news button was not available to ad news items..this worked initially but dissapeared..it has also dissapeared on my other sites also..i have looked at everything i can but cant get this add news button to appear
what is happening here ?
I believe this might be related to the recent Flash Player update that broke some things in Imagevue, and probably Powerpack.
Even my daughter complains that she can’t do homework on myimaths.com since it hangs up between challenges.
We are looking into this, and hope Adobe will release an update rather soon.
Hi Keith. I see you have two recent comments in the blog from Friday and Saturday, but we have not received any e-mails from you. This Powerpack module is a 3rd party module that we unfortunately can’t answer questions about … You need to post questions about the Powerpack module in the forum here:
http://imagevuex.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=47
Also, even if I did have the knowledge to answer questions about the Powerpack, I would certainly want to check the link to your gallery to see whats going on, so I suggest you post it with your question.
Hi, i installed Powerpack 2.2.2 on Imagevue 2.8.4 plus thumbnail patch (both). But the Powerpack news module only shows text entries. New images, votings and comments are not shown. If I’m logged in at powerpack admin, the news module runs perfect. And as I logged out, the module don’t shows new images, votings and comments. Where is the problem?

thanks for help,
regard Andreas
Please, you may need to use the Imagevue forum for requests related to the Powerpack module:
http://imagevuex.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=47
It is a 3rd party module, and the developer is answering requests in the forum, but I dont think he is active here.
i have asked the question 3 times now and not had a answer.
i have 3 sites with powerpack and all of them have the same problem.
Q why is the button to ad new news keeps dissapearing? all oyher liks there but not the ad new button and the padlock button..
i have reloaded new version and the button is initally available then it its gone and does not come back..
Hi Keith … I replied to your here some time ago. As mentioned, we did not build the powerpack, and it is a 3rd party plugin. You may use, but we don’t support it, but you may get support from the specific forum for this module:

Is Power pack currently compatible with imagebueX 2.8.6?
I believe so, but Artur (the developer of powerpack) may not be available to answer in this post. You may wanna try the forum instead: http://imagevuex.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=47
I am 99.99% sure that nothing changes in minor updates (2.8.xX) that would affect Powerpack.
Hello Arthur !
I just realized that in the new version of PowerPack 2.2.2 you forgot to add function to move icons (News,Language,Full Screen) not only from top to bottom but also from right to left,
Ex: http://imageshack.us/f/705/55525578.png/
which was possible in the old version,
Ex: http://imageshack.us/f/607/82567220.png/
please very much tell me how to add this option in the new version as it was the old version or do an update of Powerpack with my request because i need necessarily to move icons from right to left !
This option is located on : Themes > Edit > Powerpack > Main Display .! Thank you in advance !
And one more thing : I also found a small error on installation proces it is tells me that “i am using default theme. CSS in this Theme Can’t be updated.
Change your theme and refresh this page.” even if i use another custom theme the error persists, I ask meny users and found out that several people encountered with this error.
I hope you will return as soon as possible with solutions to these two problems !
Thank You !

Hello
Is this still supported in v2.8.9 / v2.8.10? I contacted the developer and he said that he is no longer updating it. So if issues do occur, we’re on our own…
Is anyone aware of whether you need to do anything special to get this to work in the latest version?
I don’t want to mess up my install! Hah!
Thank you for your suggestions.
