This post is about 2 new interesting developments in 4images which i have activated now as well.

1. 4images Newsletter
2. 4images affiliate system

Since a few months i am subscribed in the 4images community newsletter , which is an interesting way to stay updated with the happenings out there . Of course , you can still read about all of it here on my blog as well. The newsletter includes product updates of the 4images core gallery , warnings , exploits or upgrade information ; along with the current choicest modifications and 4images templates.

And now , the 4images affiliate system … although i am not much of an affiliate marketer as i would have liked to be , reading all the huge profits they make sitting at home , or in their bermudas at the beach sipping iced tea and what not… but i still always try to create / find options for affiliate links / product options of softwares / services i buy or like. Because those are the softwares and services i also recommend to my clients .

I do wish they however allowed us to withdraw our affiliate income ( when that happens ) in a PayPal account . Currently they have only Direct Deposit , which goes without saying is only for americans ( damn them ) , Wire Transfer , which is quite costly , or check – which would take ages to actually happen .

4images gallery management script from 4homepages.de came out with their latest update / version 4images 1.7.6 . If you subscribe to their newsletter , you probably already know it .

The new version 1.7.6 of the 4images – Image Gallery Management System has been released!

This release comes with lots of improvements, bug fixes and minor changes, e.g.:

* Added possibility to sort by filenames in CP image search form
* Improved download of big files
* Added onchange javascript for “per page” dropdown
* Disabled download button in lightbox if there are no download permissions for all images in the lightbox
* Fixed issue with paging tags
* Fixed missing image name escaping in alt tags of thumbnails
* Fixed redirect bug in admin/admin_global.php
* Fixed problem with brackets in template vars
* Updated URL for ICQ status image
* Fixed sql query in download.php
* Fixed logout problem where guests can delete other guests sessions
* Fixed displaying non-active images on details.php
* Improved download of big files

Theres already a feedback thread on the 4images forum if you are really into German language . Since I am more of the English language speaking crowd , i skipped the first 2 pages . Lol . I guess they really got too many bug reports or frustrations from sites using 4images having large files for download … that they mentioned it twice in their newsletter which i pasted above
One of these days i must learn .DE language to better grasp what all the super members such as jan , nicky , rustynet ivan say in there . *sighs* At least V@no speaks more English . thank goodness for that .

I just noticed on my stats – several people searched for 4images themes and templates. I noticed I am quite on the top for the keyword 4images templates . So , I just want to mention – if you are looking for downloading 4images templates and 4images themes , just put down a comment on this blog and I will try to fullfill it if like your request . If you like what I make you are free to donate $2-5 – but its optional , and the theme will be free , as long as you abide by the basic rules – i.e. show your love by showing your linky love .

I also know i have not put up the thumbnails or screenshots of the designs I have made till now of 4images themes, but i have my reasons for that . I showed the theme to a few friends of mine and they liked it so much , that they wanted the 4image theme exclusively for their own gallery – so i sold it of to them for some moolah don’t blame me , hehe . I will make some other 4images template for this blog again soon .

tada… for now

*Edit / Update : Based on the request , this is the new free template i have created , which you can see on Demo Here.
