Menalto's G2 integration into VB3

[whodah]

NOTE: Development for G2.1 and vB 3.5 is on this page: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=111931

I was about to post this on Menalto's site until i realized that I'd be publicly posting VB3's code... A no-no!!! heh!

So, I'll post the instructions here, and then refer people to this post on how to do it! :) (obviously they'll have to log on w/ their licensed account to see it)

Ok, here's how to integrate menalto's G2 gallery into VB3.

Menalto's gallery is sweet.
Menalto's gallery is free.
Menalto's gallery is here: http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php

:D

This works on my system of vBulletin 3.0.7 and Gallery 2 Holy Hand Grenade.

Known issues: VB3 has a password structure that consists of the user's password
plus the salt md5'ed together. It is not possible to strip out just the user's
password (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=137036). Thus, this script pushes the users's password plus salt from VB3 into
G2. The outcome - the standalone G2 passwords will not match *just* the user's
password! There is talks of looking into salt'ing in the future w/ G2
integration, but that's the dealio as of this integration technique... If you
are using G2 as 'embedded only', then game on, no worries. If not, then your
users will need to log on through the VB3 install to setup their session, then
can visit the G2 standalone if they wish...

Step 1 - create a new file named 'gallery2.php' as per this thread:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62164
(thx Gary King!!!)

in that thread, the first box (the gallery2.php file), the contents will be (this is the section that contains the G2 embeded code which is available on Menalto's site... i'll update this thread w/ direct links once it's in place! *only* the G2 code is on their site, no VB3 code in accordance w/ the VB license agreement! :) ):

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('gallery2') . '");');

?>

in the above, you'll need to edit:

$ret = GalleryEmbed::init(array('embedUri' => 'gallery2.php',
'embedPath' => '/VB',
'relativeG2Path' => '../gallery2',
'loginRedirect' => 'index.php',
'activeUserId' => $uid));

and
require_once('../gallery2/embed.php');

to suit your directory structure...

step 2 - creating the template
as per the same thread, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62164 (2nd code box) create a template named 'gallery2' (no tics) and in it, place the following code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
$data[headHtml]
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr><td class="tcat">Gallery</td></tr>
<tr><td class="alt1">$data[bodyHtml]</td></tr>
</table>

$footer
</body>
</html>

that's it, enjoy! :)

oh, forgot to add!

in scouring the net, i've seen a couple of posts where people have offered to pay for this solution. if you are one of them, and are serious, then here's Menalto's donation link! (http://gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=GalleryOldDocs&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=30&donate_tag=gallery%20website) ;)

edit 2006.01.11
links in navbar don't work w/ rewrite module enabled. you can enable them, but then need to 'hardcode' the links in your navbar templates and do one phrase adjustment. it's still 'dynamic' as the encoding involves vB variables and not your actual url... but a change none the less! see #41 in this thread:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=666128&postcount=41

can you put a 'user's gallery' link near the users' posts? yup, see post #65 in this thread:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=788452&postcount=65

does it work in 3.5.x as a NON-plugin? yup, if you read through this post, you'll find tidbits here and there on what it takes to get it to work in 3.5.x

does it work in 3.5.x as a plugin? nope, not yet. nobody has coded it as a plugin as of this edit's date.

[Reeve of shinra]

Glad to see you got it working. So your solution entails running Gallery in embedded mode which basically allows Gallery to utilize the Vbulletin log in system?

Do you have a link to your site for people to see what the results are?

[whodah]

hello Reeve of shinra!

yup, that's the solution! :)

G2 was written w/ integration in mind from day one from what i understand. whether it's postnuke, vBulletin, or your own user table you custom coded.

here's a link to how it looks. this site isn't live yet (the live site is just the root domain running postnuke). i hope to have the site migrated and live on VB this week! :)

just a couple things i need to do still... (banner integration for our sponsors being the sole thing from making it live i think... i've yet to search, but betting there's a solution on these forums, heh!)

i'll probably edit the G2 css to match the VB3 css. i havn't done it yet because i'm not sure what style/colors we'll use in VB3 yet, so why edit G2's twice? ;)

at first i disabled G2's css and of course then VB3's kicks in and G2 matches perfectly. but you loose functionality in G2 if you do that (slideshow and such).

so, w/ the help over at menalto - G2's css is in place as well.

and here's the link! this link will be broken eventually as the site goes live, but then it'll just be the root domain.

Awesome work dude. Glad to see someone finally took on this task of integrating the Best Gallery on the planet with the Best Forums System on the Planet.

Thanks a lot!!!

[whodah]

:) yer welcome jugo!

and i agree on the gallery/forum combo! :D

[subnet_rx]

anyone get this working and has a demo for me to look at?

[whodah]

currently fighting a couple of things... didn't notice them right off the bat until it had been running a while...

a) mod_rewrite - i can enable mod_rewrite and it works for the gallery2 installation, but not the embedded installation. i've done preliminary research on it and see that some embeded mod_rewrite issues were resolved w/ the latest CVS which i'm not runnin...

b) the menu to the left to add/edit/delete items is not appearing for all users... again - i've yet to dig too deep into this.

remember that G2 is still beta! :)

[jugo]

<a href="http://www.ao1-squad.com/bb/gallery2.php" target="_blank">http://www.ao1-squad.com/bb/gallery2.php</a>

And yes to the issues stated above. I was going to post those.

But so far the installation works as far as integration where users are concerned

It' be cool if the theme would be inherited as well.

[ZED28]

I've been looking for a Menalto Gallery integration for vBulletin and this was great news! Right now I'm just running a test board to see how it works and have the intention of migrating an existing board over to it after testing.

Regarding the side-bar missing when integrated, I don't ever seem to be able to get it to show. My install is as vanilla as it can be, no mods, out of the box install for both Gallery2 and vBulletin.

Just wondered if you could shine any light on it at all. I noticed it works like a champ on your site AND with the CMS addon, this is exactly what I'm hoping to achieve.

[whodah]

as for issue:
b) the 'missing side bar' was a line of code i overlooked. not a bug, a feature!

i'm actually quite embarassed i missed it...

see the lines in the gallery2.php file in the first post:

// user interface: disable sidebar in G2 and get it as separate HTML to put it into a block
GalleryCapabilities::set('showSidebar', false);


well, if u comment out that showsidebar false, it works.. heh!

i.e., change it to:

// user interface: disable sidebar in G2 and get it as separate HTML to put it into a block
//GalleryCapabilities::set('showSidebar', false);


what's going on there is that i saw a sample code using that and they are not showing the side bar so they can make it a block in their CMS manager.

for instance, i'm using vBAdvanced and eventually plan on making the 'sidebar' controls a block on the left hand menu.

why? real estate... i'll get my left hand VB menu, PLUS my gallery2 left hand menu. (only on the G2 pages of course!)

i havn't figured out how to do that just yet (havn't messed w/ it much) so in the interim, i've just commented out that line and you'll instantly get the side G2 'bar'.

revisiting issue:
a) mod_rewrite

G2 'holy hand grenade' has integration mod_rewrite issues. it has already been corrected according to the G2 developers, and u can grab it via the CVS if u like.

i'm going to wait about a week or so and hope that the next beta release of G2 comes out. looking at their timeline, they have seemed to release udpates about every 4-5 weeks. if this pattern holds, we should have a release soon!

if not, i'll go the CVS route.

as for the other known issue, the VB salt pw vs. G2's 'regular' pw, no news on that front. but... as long as your users enter through the VB site, all is well! :)

HTH! :)

and lmk if u guys come across any other bugs!! :) once i get around to putting the G2 sidebar into vBAdvanced, i'll post that too! (no ETA, it's low priority compared to the other gazillion things i need to do to the site from the migration of postnuke)

[RichieBoy67]

This is great!!

How hard would it be to get 3 random images to show up on forum home??? I know..... this belongs in the hack request forum but I would love that hack intergrated with this one...... Nice work!!

[whodah]

very doable! :)

there are random block and newest pic and random album and newest album and....... blocks built into G2 which INCLUDE integration blocks!

i've started to research this a bit, and don't quote me 100% because i got distracted during the research (pretty butterfly!!) but i believe that similar to issue a), there were some integration block issues that have been sorted out and are on the CVS.

i plan on revisiting this once i do the next G2 update, so i'll post that too (unless of course someone beats me to it! ;) )

but oh man, u just GOTTA have a random pic block or four, heh! :D

[RichieBoy67]

Awesome!!! I will be waiting for that!!!

Thanks again,

Rich

[whodah]

notta prob, glad ya like it!

:)

[ZED28]

Wodah, thanks so much for the VERY quick reply!!! This is a superb integration and it's also nice that we don't have to hack the snot out of vBulletin! Makes future upgrades a breeze! Kudos on this and I will be re-visiting. posting and watching your progress with baited breath! :)

[whodah]

np!

big kudos to the folks at menalto!! coding from the ground up w/ a integration as a core feature has really shown it's strength!

i too love the fact that you don't have to hack into your vB install to get it to work! :)

[kompakt]

Thanks guys, I was really looking for this mod as well. I beleive I followed the noted steps correctly, but I'm getting this error...

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 84 bytes) in /home/hagasny/public_html/gallery2/lib/smarty/Smarty_Compiler.class.php on line 35

The (tried to allocate) number and the file (name/line number) keep changing if I try to refresh.. any ideas?

[whodah]

ya, u need to up the:
memory_limit

in your php.ini file

or request that your admin does... looks like it's set to 8M. i had to REALLY increase mine on my G1 to G2 import...

[kompakt]

Well I searched around and upped the memory limit from within the gallery2.php file it self to 12mb. So the gallery2.php file now shows me the gallery embedded with the forum. Its just showing the album names.

But, I cant login to the gallery with either the G2 users or my VB3 Forum users. I've tried both from gallery2.php and the normal /gallery2

-EDIT
Its working now. The short-url mod that wasnt working with the embedding, I took it off and it worked. Howevery, only people who do not have a previous account registered with G2 can log into the new embedded gallery using their VB accounts.

Thanks...

[JimBeam]

Hi. I'm sorry but I have encountered some problems doing the integration.
I got the below error.
Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/iwap/public_html/gallery/gallery.php on line 32

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/iwap/public_html/gallery/gallery.php on line 32

What I've done is change the filename to gallery and also the gallery folder to gallery. The template is still the same gallery2.

'embedPath' => '/forums',

The final thing different is that the url is a sub domain. (gallery.mysite.com/gallery.php)

[jugo]

require_once('./global.php');


Change that to


require_once('/full/path/to/forum/global.php');

[whodah]

Well I searched around and upped the memory limit from within the gallery2.php file it self to 12mb. So the gallery2.php file now shows me the gallery embedded with the forum. Its just showing the album names.

But, I cant login to the gallery with either the G2 users or my VB3 Forum users. I've tried both from gallery2.php and the normal /gallery2

sorry, didn't notice this reply until just now!!

glad to hear you got it worked out!!

as for the user issue: hrm.. i wonder if this directly stems from the known issue in the first post... i didn't come across this issue, but all of my gallery users were embedded in postnuke and now are embedded from G2. i.e. i had no G2 users other then the admin prior to the install of G2...

[JimBeam]

The above was found after I specified the path. Can't find what's wrong I hope you can help me point it out.

[whodah]

heya!

a big step forward! :)

just thought i'd let you (others) know that i've installed G2b3, enabled/setup the mod_rewrite module (on the G2 Site Admin), copied the .htaccess file out of my G2 base dir (www/gallery2/.htaccess) and put it into my vB base dir (www/.htaccess), and it's workin!

we can now use bbcode [ i m g ] tags out of our gallery install again! (the pictures now retain their .jpg extension or whatever instead of a long database name)

w00t!

no changes to any files/templates other then the .htaccess files.

now we just gotta get that random block working...

[MrToasty]

Cheers Whodah... I've been meaning to look into this for a very very long time, as i love gallery, and love vbulletin... it looks like you've taken a lot of the hard work for me yourself, and have made it easy for us.

I'm uploading G2 as we speak, have the vb3 gallery2.php file and template at the ready.. I'll let you know how i go here...

Whodah - you da man... this installation does everything i ever hoped and dreamed for in a gallery setup linked to the forums...

I'm extremely impressed...

My only thoughts are, I slipped up with that side menu thing as well... perhaps edit the code in the first post? Other than that, you're a miracle worker!

Also, can anyone tell me what's the easiest way about adding "Viewing Gallery" to the who's online page? Looks a bit ugly at the moment?

[ZED28]

Hey Wodah, I've just implemented this and it works nicley! However, clicking on any of the thumbnails takes the Gallery out of embeded to stand-a-lone mode. I took the liberty of checking your version out and it seems to do the same.

Do you have any idea how to retain the rewrite capabilities and have the images displayed while integrated/nested in VB?

Thanks bud. BTW, Gallery2 gets better with each release!!!

[whodah]

heya!

MrToasty: good idea - i've edited the first post commenting out the 'disable sidebar' line...

ZED28: yes, this was brought to my attention by a couple users as well.

the issue is in our vB .htaccess file... it's skipping our integration php file...

not sure how to fix it just yet, but it should be fixable w/ the current version (G2b3) i.e. we shouldn't have to wait for the next release on this one, woot! talking to one of the programmers, it looks like the next release will skirt this issue w/ a cookie/session setting. but for now, we gotta fix our .htaccess file.

i'll probably visit this issue in the next couple of days.

i got the random block working - kinda... getting some access errors on that so i disabled it. but i'll be working on that soon too.

Thanks for the update Whodah! That's GREAT news on the random block too, that will be the "cherry on the cake" for me!

[MrToasty]

After 2 days of usage, the verdict is brilliant! I couldn't be more happy, as I've been waiting forever to be able to merge these 2 babies together...

My old Gallery1 albums all imported accross beautifully... the permissions I'm able to set for different usergroups is excellent... I'm over the moon...

Cheers Whodah! This should be turned into an official integration hack as soon as Gallery2 becomes RC or full release. :)

[whodah]

i'm glad you like it! :)

as an update: sounds like the mod_rewrite redirection method in integration is becoming obsolete and they're working on a session/cookie based method for multi-directory, multi-embeded (cms, whatever) and even... mutli-site! integration...

it should be up on the CVS soon from what i read on the gallery forums.

for the random block: i had it up on our site, then it was erroring out. i think i was initializing it wrong... but i think i've got it straightened out. a couple more days of testing and i'll post it! :)

hey, anyone doing this w/ G2b3?

if so - do your users get logged out of G2 after you 'surf around' G2 a bit?

after about 5 navigations through G2, my IE users are getting logged out. my FF users stay logged in. i was wondering if anyone can replicate this?

[ZED28]

Whodah,

I just went live with my site today and the one problem I'm having is with the other Admin.

Anyone else who logs into the site, Gallery2 creates an account automatically and then permissions can be set on the individuals album. However, when the other admin logs in, he gets the following error message and an account is never created for him:-

line: 107, G2 did not return a success status. Here is the error message from G2:
Error (GALLERY_SUCCESS)
in at line 0

Any idea what this could be?

Thanks bud!

[Zeoran]

I followed the instructions as requested, but I can't seem to get mine working.

www.guardianbrotherhood.org
www.guardianbrotherhood.org/forums (vb3)
www.guardianbrotherhood.org/forums/gallery2.php

My gallery install is in www.guardianbrotherhood.org/forums/gallery

and when I go to the php it gives me:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/guardian/public_html/gb/forums/gallery2.php
Line: 1

Any ideas?

Ok... it looks like it's working now, but it's not picking up the color scheme/theme of my main vb site.

Also, I'm curious how I can control the permissions of users for the gallery????

It's also not letting me upload any pictures to any of the albums... the remote won't download, the xp tab doesn't work, even the java applet complains about something..

HELP!!!

My members have been begging for a picture gallery and I have been DESPERATELY trying to get one working that doesn't cost a fortune. I'd even be willing to pay someone to help me get this working right on my site... just PLEASE help.

[whodah]

ZED28: will your 2nd admin be entering the gallery stictly from vB3? i.e. will NOT be entering it through the standalone version? (not to be confused w/ accessing, we're talking entering here)

if so (and hopefully how it is!!) - i'd visit yer G2, delete the 2nd admin. then have the 2nd admin log on to vB3, click yer gallery2.php integration file, the integration script will then create the 2nd admin user.

you'll then have to go in as the 1st admin and edit the 2nd admin's account to make them an admin as at this point, they'd just be a regular user.

Zeoran: can you post your gallery2.php file and gallery2 template?

[Zeoran]

quick rundown:

my main site is www.zeoran.com. I'm running vb and the gallery on www.guardianbrotherhood.org which is a sub-domain pointer off my main site. So the web for guardianbrotherhood.org is under /home/guardian/public_html/gb/. I installed the gallery under the forums directory which is at www.guardianbrotherhood.org/forums/gallery.

here is my gallery2.php

$footer

All I want is the simple stuff. I want the user db for the gallery to be integrated with my vb install. I want the gallery to pickup the colors/theme of my vb install. And I need to know why none of the picture uploading features are working and how I can control permissions and stuff to the albums with vb users.

Thank you.

[kompakt]

I want the gallery to pickup the colors/theme of my vb install.

Edit the theme.css file in your gallery templates directory and change colors as you desire to match the theme of your site. You could check the style manager for your vb skin to see the html color codes used on your skin.

[ZED28]

Whodah,

I'm still tinkering with the admin problem I was having and that's on the back burner right now, I haven't heard from the guy to know if it's still a problem.

But on a totally unrelated note; I have changed my theme quite a bit and of course, the standard theme that comes with Gallery is not suitable so I changed the values in the Gallery CSS (Matrix) to make it fit my vBulletin theme. Well then I get to asking myself what I'm going to do if I want a different skin? :rolleyes: LOL

So I tried something that just seemed too easy for words, I copied the entire contents of the Matrix theme.css file from Gallery and apended it to the "Additional CSS Definitions" section of the Main CSS for my theme, deleted or renamed the original style.css file in Gallery and voila!

Switch themes in VB and the Gallery does the same!

Now of course, you do have to create a matching CSS file for Gallery to match your chosen theme but once you have done that, copy the modified CSS as stated above and that should work!

[whodah]

Zeoran: i'm not seeing the problem :(

ZED28:
admin issue: roger that!
css: nice!!!

[whodah]

JimBean: thought of you today when i read that they are implementing subdomain support. it's not there yet, but they are working on it...

more info here:
http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=30959

[whodah]

an update!

i'm running a nightly build (from June 2nd) w/ core: 0.9.22

this includes the new url rewrite module - which works!

i had to hardcode some links though as the gallery url rewrite takes over the vB relative links.

so i had to make the relative links 'static' in 1 template and hard code a phrase too...

the phrase i had to edit was:
private_messages_nav

from:

<a href="private.php?{3}">Private Messages</a>: {1}, {2}.


to:

<a href="http://www.domain.com/private.php?{3}">Private Messages</a>: {1}, {2}.


the template i had to edit was: navbar

and i changed all links that looked like:

<a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editprofile">


to:

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editprofile">


basically added:

$vboptions[bburl]/


in front of all of the links in that page that actually go somewhere. (not the # links) there's like 20 of 'em.

you can also do random blocks and such. i'm not sure the cleanest way to do it... i've done it on our site, but it uses vbadvanced. basically, look in the gallery site admin under:
Blocks -> Random/Popular

and note the 'External Image Block' section.

at some point in yer code, you need to call a php variable to get yer random block. since we cannot do this directly from templates, we have to do it in one of the .php files and then reference the variable which introduces a level of difficulty. for instance, as that page indicates, the code:

<?php @readfile('http://www.cvreefers.org/gallery2.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_show=owner'); ?>


will generate a random image. as you cannot call php from our templates, i kinda kludged this together w/ vbadvanced's help.

you can then get real jiggy w/ it by calling those links in yer postbit (or postbit_legacy in our case) to produce things like each users latest album or each users random pic.

an example is here, note beneath the posters' avatar:
http://www.cvreefers.org/showthread.php?t=2614

however, each time u look up a random pic, i get a delay on a p4 3.06 w/ 1 gig of ram. so if u have 10 users browsing 17 posts w/ 10 random pic genreators at once... well... u get the idea. actually read that thread if you want to see the outcome...

so - i'm using a cron job and a hidden field to do the tricks on that page.

i hesitate to mention those above tricks because i know the first thing that's going to be asked is 'how did you do this?' and it's pretty entailed. to get the user's gallery links beneath each user involves naming an album identicle to that user, creating two hidden user profile fields, and setting up a cron job. for the daily random block, another hidden user profile field, and another cron job. i really doubt that i'm doing it 'the right way' nor the most eloquant nor the most effecient way. heck, i'm establishing my own mysql connection on those cron jobs and i'm sure i could mooch off of vB's connection if i researched how, heh! so i just wanted to show that it can be done if that makes sence! i'm sure someone more advanced then i could make it generically fit any vB install.

[zylstra]

b) the menu to the left to add/edit/delete items is not appearing for all users... again - i've yet to dig too deep into this.

whodah,

I just signed up for your forum at cvreefers.org and can't see the add/edit/delete menu. I thought you fixed it with post #12. Did you perhaps overwrite your last mods?

Thanks.

[whodah]

that all works fine now. i'd imagine it's cause you don't have permissions on any album to add things

;)

i setup a test album w/ permissions for your account:

[ZED28]

Whodah,

Thanks for the update! I DO watch this thread to keep abreast of your progress and try to implement your changes/suggestions as soon as I get the chance.

I've implemented the re-write module and have modified the links in VB so that the re-write doesn't screw them up, this all works as expected. I still have a nagging problem (and this is the only real reason I want re-write) where extra crap is tagged onto the end of the shorter URL's - after the jpg extension:-

http://www.gmlsxs.org/d/4376-2/DSCN2202.JPG?g2_GALLERYSID=b43246fef5f6b4b9d64cfff 638c4e698


Now if I view the Gallery in stand-a-lone mode, the link looks like this:-

http://www.gmlsxs.org//gallery2/d/4376-2/DSCN2202.JPG


Both of these links will work if you click on them, the downside for me is that when used inside VB, I can't get the URL's to appear without the crap at the end. Of course, if you simply copy up to the JPG extension, this works - I just don't wanna explain how to do that to all our members over and over and over... LOL

I looked at your Gallery implementation and noticed you have the same problem too.

I also installed the module for displaying the URL's for BB Code and HTML from Gallery's site. I noticed you were involved in that and I've had a few issued with that also (didn't generate the shorter URL's, still added the crap at the end anyways) so I may or may not use that.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. BTW, thanks for sticking with this, it's an excellent integration!

You can view my Gallery2 install using the following links (same Gallery install)

http://www.gmlsxs.org/gallery2.php? <-- Integrated
http://www.gmlsxs.org/gallery2/main.php <-- Stand-a-lone


An Update:

Whodah, stop the press! LOL The nice folk at Menalto's Gallery have clued me in on this problem, see the following (a simple fix!)

http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=33488

Thanks bud!

[whodah]

heya Zed28!

cool beans!

can you show me on my site an example of the issue you were talking about resolved by the cookie settings? i cannot find an example and would like to straighten it out on my site! :)

also - the URLs/BBCODE: VERY VERY VERY nifty module!! :D i'll be revisiting it again here shortly to add some other fixes. time has been short for me lately, heh!

cya, and thx! :D

[ZED28]

Here ya go, this is the Clown fish from your Gallery within VB...
http://www.cvreefers.org/d/13045-3/aeg.jpg?g2_GALLERYSID_cce624=d5e3d2c13286033b1136b 0b4feb7e28e

The same picture from your Gallery in stand-a-lone mode...
http://www.cvreefers.org/./gallery2/d/13045-3/aeg.jpg

It was a simple fix, in the Site Admin section under General, theres a Cookie section towards the bottom. You'll obviously enter "cvreefers.org" for the domain and try a "/" for the path, that worked for me.

That should do it!

[whodah]

interesting...

i couldn't replicate that - until i logged off... it appears this is an issue for anonymous users (at least on my site)

thx for pointing it out! :D

[Karri]

is this available for 3.5 yet?

[whodah]

heya!

i'd imagine that we won't be moving to 3.5.x for quite a while. our site is extensively customized and it'll take a lot of work for me to upgrade it.

it can't be much different - but i have not done it myself.

[Karri]

Ah. Well thanks for the info. I have tried playing with it with no luck. Just get a gallery wrapped with vbulletin headers and footers and no user integration. I will keep on eye on this thread in case you decide to upgrade. :)

[Pete Cahill]

Same experience here w/ 3.5 RC2 and a fresh-install of G2 - a nicely vB-wrapped G2 interface, but no user-integration. :ermm:

Thought it was cookie-related at first, but I've verified that the users aren't being created automatically in G2 by the script yet I'm not getting any errors being generated by the code, either.

Anyone have any ideas?

Regards,
Pete

[whodah]

3.5 users: as mentioned above, i've not updated to 3.5. however, Pete's clue led me to think about this:

maybe 3.5 changed their user variable?

in particular, the line:

$uid = $bbuserinfo['userid'] = 0 ? '' : $bbuserinfo['userid'];


that one line might be the issue. if 3.5 isn't calling it bbuserinfo [userid] anymore, then it wouldn't know what to enter into the G2 user tables.

food for thought! :)

i'll probably upgrade to 3.5 once they go gold w/ it. in reading on how it'll be much easier to upgrade on a customized/hacked vB, it sounds nifty!

Zed28: on another note - i upgraded to G2RC1+5 yesterday and had the cookie issue (images ended in ?G2_SID=alkjsdfo0987sdf87s987df) both logged in or not logged in. so i did the fix you linked to, thx!

in particular, went to G2 Site Admin -> General Settings -> Cookies and set:
Path = /
Domain i left blank

worded right away, didn't have to clear my cookies on the FF browser i was using! :)

JimBean: thought of you today when i read that they are implementing subdomain support. it's not there yet, but they are working on it...

more info here:
http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=30959

Okie thanks a lot for the update. I've now been more active as my site is about to be up. thanks again

[chanzero]

thanks whodah, this is very cool!

i got it working in 3.5 even :)

can anyone help me figure out how to make it so that only logged in users can leave comments? i'm thinking i can set the g2 permissions so that Everybody can post comments, but then restrict the link from actually showing up with some vbcode?

Anyone able to help? Note, I have Gallery 2 running under a different MySQL database than vbulletin...is that a problem?


How come you can go beyond the global.php?

I got this error in the 1st place.

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/abc/public_html/gallery/gallery2.php on line 32

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! I finally got it!! thanks!

one thing i finally learnt is that the gallery2.php must be placed in the vb3 folder or else it can't work right?

[zquestz]

Just wanted to say thanks. Been wanting to do this for quite some time. If you want to check out my integrated vb3 -> gallery2 install you can check out:

http://blendchicago.com

Gallery2 Embeded: http://blendchicago.com/forums/gallery2.php
Gallery2 Standalone: http://blendchicago.com/gallery

Anyhow, if people care I can post the changes I made to the code in this thread. I did get mod_rewrite working in both standalone and embeded mode. I also stripped down the template since I didn't want the vb window borders around my install, and I noticed a ton of css conflicts I didn't want to work out.

[whodah]

yw zquestz! :D

and i'd be very greatful if you'd post your fixes. i'd love to see 'em! :D

they address some issues that i've just kinda lived with, ha ha! (i.e. the css issues)

[Wordplay]

anybody gotten this to work on 3.5 yet?

[nitro]

Am currently looking at this on a test area @ home

in vb 3.5x you need to change $bbuserinfo to $vbulletin->userinfo in all instances except by global

here change it to global $vbulletin, $userinfo;

after doing this it seems to import vb users if they dont exist ok.

[Wordplay]

is there a way to import images and comments from 4images gallery into menalto's g2 gallery?

[whodah]

JimBean: just now getting your PM, dind't know i had one!

at any rate,yes! you are correct! galler2.php needs to be in the VB3 folder.

replying to your PM now! :)

[tkieffer]

I actually wanted to turn the menu bars off... in the newest version the setting has changed to:

GalleryCapabilities::set('showSidebarBlocks', false);

[zquestz]

Anyone figure out how to link to the "Your Album" part of Gallery from within VB? Been trying to figure out how to do this to no avail.

Basically I just want people to be able to jump to their member gallery easily without first going onto a Gallery page. Seems like it would be easy, but its trickier than it looks! Hahah.

[whodah]

this is on vB 3.0.x

havn't moved to 3.5 yet.

this will add a link beneath the post count of the user.

however it might not work for your situation. all of my members' galleries are their vB username.

like my username is: whodah
my gallery name is: whodah

i have a user named: nifty_guy
his gallery name is: nifty_guy

u get the idea ;)

i have a cron job that runs nightly (u can run it as often as u want of course) that checks usernames against g2 entities of the same name that are albums. if it exists, it populates a custom field in vB. if that field exists, a link to their album shows up in their posts.

so - u might have to tweak this accordingly, i'm not posting this as a cookie-cutter solution. but should getcha goin!

:D

there are no file modifications with this. there is one file [i]addition[/b]. the rest can be done from the admin control panel. :D

this involves:

adding a user custom field
adding a Scheduled Task (adding a file and adding the task in vB's admin page)
modifying one postbit template



1: adding a user custom field
in your admin pages, go to: User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field

call it wahtever you want. i titled mine:
Title: Gallery
Description: Does this user have a gallery in CVR_Members? If so, what's the name of the gallery?

you need ot make:
Field Editable by User: No

the rest you can fill out however you want. note the field number it assigns it. if you need to review it, click:
User Profile Fields -> User Profile Field Manager

and the 'Name' column is what you need to make a note of. in my case, it's: field10


2: adding a Scheduled Task
create the file:
includes/cron/gallery_field10.php

(yes, u can name the file whatever you want, just make a note of it)

**note: in the file right below this, replace 'field10' with your field number!

and in it add:

<?php
$whodiag = 0;

$whomysqlstring = "SELECT * FROM user;";
if($whodiag) {echo "<BR>line ".__LINE__.": whomysqlstring = $whomysqlstring<BR>"; }
$results = mysql_query($whomysqlstring) or die ("Error: line ".__LINE__.": $whomysqlstring<BR>");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)) {
$whomysqlstring = "SELECT * FROM g2_FileSystemEntity WHERE g_pathComponent='".$row[username]."';";
if($whodiag) {echo "<BR>line ".__LINE__.": whomysqlstring = $whomysqlstring<BR>"; }
$results2 = mysql_query($whomysqlstring) or die ("Error: line ".__LINE__.": $whomysqlstring<BR>");
if(mysql_numrows($results2)) {
if($whodiag) {echo "<BR>line ".__LINE__.": Found an album for ".$row[username]."<BR>"; }
while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($results2)) {
$whomysqlstring = "UPDATE userfield SET `field10` = '".$row2[g_pathComponent]."' WHERE userid = '".$row[userid]."';";
if($whodiag) {echo "<BR>line ".__LINE__.": whomysqlstring = $whomysqlstring<BR>"; }
mysql_query($whomysqlstring) or die ("Error: line ".__LINE__.": $whomysqlstring<BR>");
}
}

}
?>



go to: Scheduled Tasks -> Add New Scheduled Task
call it:
Title: Gallery Profile Updater
Filename: ./includes/cron/gallery_field10.php
(unless u used a different Filename above... if so, change accordingly)
and run it as often as u want. i run mine nightly. thus if a new user gets a gallery, it won't reflect on their posts til the next day. so for mine, everything is a star except Hour which is:
Hour: 2


after yer done, go ahead and 'Run Now' it.



3: modifying one postbit template
ok, if yer in legacy mode, yer using:
postbit_legacy
if not, it's probably
postbit
(someone correct me if i'm wrong)

so - edit the template yer using. for me, it's postbit_legacy.

in postbit or postbit_legacy (we use legacy), find:

<div>
$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>


below it add:


<if condition="$post['field10']">
<div>
<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/v/CVR_members/$post[field10]/">$post[musername]'s Gallery</a>
<if condition="$blockinfo['whodahuserrandompic']">
<!-- -->
<BR>Their Daily Random Pic:<BR>$post[field14]
</if>
</div>
</if>


and now u'll get a nifty little link below their posts saying:
whodah's gallery

or

nifty_guy's gallery

ggs! :D

[fringehead]

I would like to have the vbulletin users have an account created for them, but I want to run Gallery as stand alone. Will their password work in stand-alone after their account has been created? How do I modify this script to use stand along instead of embedded? I have gotten an embedded to work I just don't like the big window fixing the gallery size. I also have my forum in a subdomain as well as my gallery....

zquestz can you post your code? Your site looks like what I want except your not in a subdomain... I have it working minus the images. The Matrix theme and gallery image comes through but all the pics are broken links and it seems the mod rewrite is all screwed up...

Thanks,

S

[zquestz]

Fringehead, you may be able to fix things by modifying the rewrite rules yourself to reflect your subdomains and other changes.

The rewrite code in gallery assumes you are running on a single domain. I also don't think you are going to be able to share cookies amongst both subdomains, so you are stuck with passing session id's in the url which I have found to be fairly slow.

As for the other problem with your gallery appearing inside a vbulletin window, thats easy to fix. Open the template for gallery2 and change it to:

$data[bodyHtml]

Yep... thats it. This keeps all the vbulletin headers, css and other things far away from your embed gallery the way it should be =)

Good luck on mod_rewrite, it's a nice site you have there.

[whodah]

last i looked - no, the password created from the vB integration into G2 will not work in standalone.

at least - not the way you want it to...

supose my password is: 123

so i go to vB and log on w/ my password of 123.

vB takes that '123' and adds it's SALT to it. i'm not exactly sure where/how, but that's what it does. so you enter '123' and vB sees 'SALT(123)'.

thus, the G2 integration script sends 'SALT(123)' to G2 as my password.

so - now i log out of vB and visit the standalone G2.

i attempt to log on w/ my password of '123' and get denied. because my password is not '123' but 'SALT(123)'.

so you'd have to do some code modification (sorry, i havn't looked into this myself nor plan to) to make the G2 authentication go through the same SALT as vB does or soemthing to that effect...

however - on the G2 forums, the user 'valiant' who works w/ the integration side of G2 has added SALT integration to the todo list. but on a low priority as aparently not a lot of CMS and/or forums use it in this manner.

i do have to add the 1 disclaimer that this information was based on about G2 RC2 and i havn't looked to see if it's been worked into G2 final. so u may want to research that!

HTH

Thanks for the compliment! Those guys take some nice photos :) I see there is a line of code that looks very similiar to what you say to change... is this the line I change?

// put the body html from G2 into the xaraya template
$data['bodyHtml'] = isset($g2moddata['bodyHtml']) ? $g2moddata['bodyHtml'] : '';


Thanks for the help!

Sean

[zquestz]

Nope, you don't change the gallery2.php file at all. Only change the template it installed in admincp to the value I mentioned.

[fringehead]

Hi Whodah and zquestz,

I got the gallery setup with Whodah's file, but I am having trouble getting the mod_rewite to work properly.....

From the docs I have read on menalto's site and here, I gather it's just in the Embeded Setup settings:

Embedded Setup

For URL Rewrite to work in an embedded environment you need to set up an extra htaccess file to hold the mod_rewrite rules.

Htaccess path: (I put in /var/www/forums)
Public path: http://forums.scubapost.net (I put in /gallery and tried /gallery2.php)

My embeded album is in http://forums.scubapost.net/gallery/

When I put in /gallery/It shows the path to the non-embeded photos. When I put in /gallery2.php it gives me urls' without the /gallery/ directory...

How did you guys get the embeded short urls to work?

EDIT:

I put in / instead of gallery2.php, also I have my Cookies settings to:

Path: /
Domain: .forums.scubapost.net (my forum is in a subdomain)


It is now working with the urls but some icons are missing. The program paths are :

embed: http://forums.scubapost.net/v/scrippsandp38-0046.jpg.html
stand alone: http://forums.scubapost.net/gallery/v/scrippsandp38-0046.jpg.html

I assume is wrong. Any idea what I don't have configured right?


Thanks,

Sean

[fringehead]

OK I actually modified my board to match all of your settings... My gallery is working! but I still have the link issue. Check out this photo and notice the broken links.

http://www.scubapost.net/forums/v/scrippsandp38-0184.JPG.html

I check out the navbar and made the changes you said to make but they didn't have any effect. I am using 3.5, might these templates have changed?

When I click on a picture the broken links are "reload page" and "go back"... Is there anyway to eliminate them or hard code them?

As far as random blocks, I have made an html file and call it from the forum... Here is my html file:

table width="100%" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr valign="top">
<td align="center"><?php readfile('http://gallery.scubapost.net/main.php?g2_linkTarget=_blank&g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_show=none&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_maxSize=140'); ?></td>
<td align="center"><?php readfile('http://gallery.scubapost.net/main.php?g2_linkTarget=_blank&g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_show=none&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_maxSize=140'); ?></td>
<td align="center"><?php readfile('http://gallery.scubapost.net/main.php?g2_linkTarget=_blank&g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_show=none&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_maxSize=140'); ?></td>
<td align="center"><?php readfile('http://gallery.scubapost.net/main.php?g2_linkTarget=_blank&g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_show=none&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_maxSize=140'); ?></td>
</tr>
</table>

here is the code I put in the forumhome:

<!---------- PHOTO GALLERY START ---------->


<table class="thead" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

<tr class="alt2" align="center" colspan="100%" border="0">
<div><iframe id="main" name="main" align="middle" valign="middle" src="http://www.scubapost.net/forums/randomimage.php/" border="0" frameborder="0" resizeable="no" scrolling="no" height="190" width="100%">
</iframe></div></tr>


<td class="tcat" colspan="100%" height="25" align="center" nowrap>Random Photographs from Our Member Photo Galleries</td>
</table>

<!---------- PHOTO GALLERY END ---------->

I'm no coder, but I saw the question was asked....

I do appriciate all documents to get me so far... I just have to clear up those urls and I'm good to go!

Thanks,

Sean

[whodah]

heya! it's quite possible they have changed in 3.5...

i'm not running it yet myself, but plan on doing so soon!

[dsko]

hi,

i have been following the directions in this thread to attempt the bridge between gallery and vb. i am currently getting the following error message

Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_REFERER in
/home/freshdis/public_html/forum2/includes/class_core.php on line 1546

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/freshdis/public_html/forum2/includes/class_core.php
Line: 1546

I am using galler 2.0.1 and vb 3.5.1

I do realise that this bridge is for an earlier veersion of vb but i did notice that a few ppl on here said they have got this working in 3.5

any ideas?

[fringehead]

Whodah,

Thanks for all the information for embedding Gallery into Vbulletin! I tried the phrase and menu bar again and your instructions worked! I don't know what was up earlier, but my Gallery is working great now!

Thanks again!

Sean

[tercede]

so, is there a way that works for vb 3.5.1? the one post before doesnt work for me :ermm:

[inkpassion]

Would it be possible to see your .htaccess file so I can get the mod_rewrite to work. Ive been pulling my hair out for hours trying to figure it out. Ive also setup the site with Multiaccess to aleviate andy login issues.

[ZED28]

It's not too clear to me where I'm supposed to make the changes for this to work with VB 3.51. Can someone post the updated code please?

Hey Whodah! Refresh my memory - it's been a while but enabling re-write in VB screws up the VB links right? Was the solution to hardcode them all?

[whodah]

ya :( at least in 3.0.x...

i had to hardcode my navbar links, logo, and i think some footer links...

[GuaRRand]

Workx great on my VB3.5 site.
http://www.glcoti.com/gallery2.php


ONly things that still bug me are the way the gallery is "shown" in the "who is online" page.

And that you dont get a nice "gallery" button in your postbit.
If anyone knows how to get that in, let me know!!!

[AquilaEagle]

Can this be made into a Plugin? :)

[seanw088]

Hey guys, I understand that with the salt stuff going on, a VB registered user won't be able to login directly to the gallery. That's cool with me, in fact I'd prefer that.

However, before I go through all the work of setting this up (and buying another license for this new site), I have a question. I already have over 100 registered users and I just launched my G2 site last week (woohoo!). I really, really don't want to have to ask them to all re-register in vB, then upload their content again. Is there ANY way at all to migrate users from G2, into vB, then require that logins come thru vB?

I'll jump through any hoops I have to if I can keep my users from having to jump through hoops. :)

Thanks in advance, and here's to hopin!
-Sean

[seanw088]

Anyone? Bueller? You guys still on holiday vacations? hehe... :) Should I ask this question in another forum as well?

[ZED28]

I have this working with VB 3.5.2 and the latest stable release of Gallery. The one thing I've noticed is the performance hit when I enable the re-write module. With it enabled, I get a not-so-smooth transitions between gallery pages - meaning a white page flashes up between them while in none re-write mode, I don't and it looks way smoother.

I also get errors reported by the browser when running the re-write module, I don't if I disable it. The errors are shown below.

Anyone else experiencing this?

http://www.lfsresource.com/stuff/errors.jpg

[fringehead]

One problem I have with this integration is the following:

When the user is inside a photo folder and clicks on login, they
will get the login relative to their position and then get an error.
What would I have to hardcode to get them directed to the proper
vbulletin login? I also have a few footer links like admin which are
needing to be hardcoded as well.. What template do I edit for them?

Thanks!!

Sean

i second this motion, i have a lot of members galleries but im not anywhere near technical enough to do this, so a plugin would be fantastic!

heya! not sure... :( i don't know enough about vB's salt (or salt in general - unless it's the salt on my saltwater aquarium site, ha!). but perhaps someone else can chime in?

edited the first post w/ a bit more info at the very end for new readers! if you guys think anything else should be up in there, lmk!

i do plan on migrating to 3.5.x soon... it was gonna be the 1st of this year but didn't happen, heh!

if nobody has converted this to a plugin by then, i'll probably look into it.

whish i could wait for that :(

my unknowledgeable ass is going to attempt this gallery integration soon(probobly this week). going to take a while as this is only my 2nd or 3rd attempt at anythign related to VBB other than the stuff built in(databases scare me ;))

but, wanted to thank you guys ahead of time for all the work youv done so far :) hopefully it will make my have less work to do :)

No worries SilVert, it's a pretty painless experience! :D In fact, your Gallery2 and VB installs will still remain quiet sepetate entities after the integration. It's the special gallery2.php page that does all of the work.

The only issues I have are with the mod_rewrite functionality as it slows the Gallery down considerably and has a few strange behaviour tendancies that I am fighting to overcome. But the mod_rewrite is just fluff really, the rest is pretty simple and straightforward.

[voleibolmurcia]

The integration of the Menalto´s G2 includes the style or theme?

If the answers is not, how could i make it? Thanks.

[dodgechargerfan]

Could this work across hosts?

I have my main vB site on one host and my Gallery running on another.
Would it work with the right changes to the paths?

[SilVert]

well.. i haev made it this far ;)

i have gallery installed(damn nice installer IMO :)). i can log into gallery in "stand alone" mode.

but when i goto the gallery.php file i get an error:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: iserror() in <location of files>/httpdocs/forum/gallery.php on line 74"

i just cant grasp where iserror() shoudl have been defined or anything... anybody got anythign on this?

my gallery is located at racersden.net/gallery, and the forum is at racersden.net/forum... the php file is in the forum directory...

[SilVert]

just thought about this... is it REQUIRED to have the gallery in a sub folder of the forum directory?

and also, the index file in the gallery directory, could i just have that file have a meta refresh to the VBB embed page or is that index file required?

[manuka]

no it's not - i've been working on this issue with some positive results so far. it needs a bit of fine-tuning but if you use the following code and change the file names/paths where necessary you can have a top-level embedded gallery:


<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

[cerndeosil]

All this stuff is way too techie for me. I have one of my admins who does all the really techie stuff for me on my forum. But unfortunately we haven't been able to find a way for him to get access to this site.

We're running 3.5.3 and have been looking into setting up the Menalto Gallery on our forum The Moot (http://paganandchristianmoot.co.uk/pcvbforum) and all these code posts have my head spinning. Have any of the posts in this thread been found to work with 3.5.3? If so, could someone post a link to the relevant post so I can pass on the details to my admin friend?

Thanks folks. :)

I only seem to get that error when the vBulletin admin views the gallery2 pages. Can anyone suggest a workaround so that the vBulletin admin can also view the gallery2 pages and not have to login via the 'backend'?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Anyone able to help? Note, I have Gallery 2 running under a different MySQL database than vbulletin...is that a problem?

Seems like there is not much support for this mod anymore - shame really because there are a lot of requests on the Gallery forums for support or advice. If anyone can provide an answer to my question above, I will be eternally grateful. Alternatively, if I find an answer I will post it here.

are you talking about going directly to the gallery page and having to type the SALT password or whatever it is?

me being no coder, you would have to somehow interpret the code through a program(or more php code possibly) that would pull out the offending code at the front and back of the PW, before the encryption(if any) of the password :)




and hell, while im post whoring up this thread ;)

how hard would it be to limit who can upload by a group in VBB... i know the group numbers that i would like to allow to upload, but i dont have the coding knowledge to limit so only they can upload but everybody else can view. also, would it be possible to automatically add them to the "registered" or whatever group in Gallery. or are these steps that i will have to do?

I achieved what you are talking about by creating a group of users from within the gallery2 admin CP and then assigning them full access. It's a bit of duplication - but it works and is uncomplicated.

And.... I have a site set up that views the photos from outside the 'http://www.mysite.com/photos/' directory. So the 'backend' I refer to is the gallery2 admin cp access from within the 'http://www.mysite.com/photos/' directory. It helps keep other forum users out of that area because they *probably* won't think to look there. And I found I was using too many folders, so this helped reduce the number of sub-directories on the site.

Im talkign abotu an automated add to group, or verify that a user is a member. i could see it being fairly simple to code.

user created > verify membership of group XX
if yes, add to full access group
if no(or else) add to everyone group(not allowed to upload photos)

or that is how i see it working ;)

i dont understand what you are refering to in your 2nd paragraph :) (could be the night of drinking last night catching up ;))

[Burley]

I was wondering how far along you are in implementing G2 into vb 3.5.X

I'm really interested in having it installed aswell!

[defcon_420]

indeed, i was just about to upgrade to the new vbulletin and then i seen its not imbedded yet :(

lookin forward to G2 being intergrated into vb3 :banana:

[SilVert]

Burley, defcon_420, look at post 101...

that code works on MY VB 3.5.2 install. i am working on getting the code to add a user to a group right now.. i just cant get it to work yet. im stealing the code from AdminGroupEdit.inc. its in there, but i cant get it to work yet in teh gallery integration script.

if anybody has some insight or anything to help me along i would be gratefull. the guys who made this thread and supported it for the 1st few pages are still not on VB 3.5 i belive. i sent them both PM's a month or so ago and there are only a few people on VB 3.5.x and have it working.

but as i said, post 101 has the code to get the users created. i have tested it with 2 of my moderators right now, but i do not want to make it public UNTIL i get the automated group adidtions... i just dont have that code working yet :) i check this thread every other day or so, if you need some help il do what i can for ya(not much sadly) :)

[Zilvia]

indeed, i was just about to upgrade to the new vbulletin and then i seen its not imbedded yet :(

lookin forward to G2 being intergrated into vb3 :banana:

As well here. We are having issues with Coopermine integrating into vb 3.5.x and want to use G2.

[Burley]

So it looks like you have done it! CoOl!

I would like to help you out, but have no idea where to start!
I'm a complete noob when it comes to coding, but I need it so I'm gonna try.

I think I'll start integrating G2 in a day or 2, I'll keep you posted!

its really easy. the install takes 10-15 if it is the 1st time you have ever done it(20 times later you willl only need 3 minutes ;)).

i could really use the help with aut adding to a group.

i think this is the right code:
GalleryEmbed::addUserToGroup( )
might be nice to get a check as well to see if x user is in x group as well, but 1 step at a time ;)

I cant seem to get any auto adding to work with it. i either get a error(which dosent help at all) or the page displays fine, then i haev no user created(it does work without this code) and definetly not in the group....

[johnmont]

I got the integration working (somewhat) OK with 3.5.4 and gallery 2.0.4. But I took the plunge and installed 2.1RC and got the following error message from php:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: iserror() in ~/forums/gallery.php on line 77

Where is the function isError() and is it gone from 2.1 as opposed to 2.0.4?
I did a multi file text search and can't find a function isError() in any of the files. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

(i've also posted over at the gallery2 website)

i had the same problem... i had to remove the CVS version i was using and reinstall the latest stable build. 2.1 i think is the latest.

took me a month or so to figure this out finally.

[SilVert]

nevermind... jsut saw your post and ?Variable? fixed the issue. man, whish i did that a month or so ago ;)

now, sombody get that stupid auto group adition to work! ;)

[fringehead]

So you have upgraded and are running 2.1? It's working without any issues?
I am going to give it a try. Definitely backing up the codebase, database and config file in case I need to revert to the old version.

I'll let you know how it goes!

I keep getting this error:

Not sure what to do....

looks like you are having the same problem as me.... i think the IsError() is a invalid path somewhere... i have yet to find it...

[Brent H]

With some help from a member over on Menalto's site, I've got Gallery 2.1 and vBulletin 3.5.4 working together.

The only problem I've come across is when the user first accesses the gallery (causing the gallery to create the new user) I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/paranorm/public_html/gallery2.php on line 96

If they refresh the page, the problem disappears and everything works perfectly.

Here is my gallery2.php file, updated to work with Gallery 2.1 and vBulletin 3.5.4.

Maybe someone here can shed some light on this error and help me get it working 100%...

[SilVert]

if you go into notepad, and hit ctrl-G then tell it to goto line 96.. what is on that line...

[Brent H]

if ($ret->isError())

That's what's there, along with a bunch of other stuff associated with that line below it.

[SilVert]

if ($ret->isError())

That's what's there, along with a bunch of other stuff associated with that line below it.

ugh.. i hate that isError() BS... that is the exact error i am having... probobly was on the same line...

i alreayd have a user created(my username) from previous attempts and since i dotn haev to create that account again, the integration script runs fine... so the script is working other than that part. the isError() part is what i have been having issues with from day ?1?...

there is a post that ?joshmount? made over on teh G2 integration section, he did nto respond to me asking for more info as of yesterday afternoon. i wish i could find where this problem was comming from... such a PITA.. and since VBB is closed source, Valiant or anybody over on the G2 forums wont help too much, but they will help with the G2 related issues :) helpfull normaly to :)

alright, i MIGHT have fixed the isError() BS...

try going into your gallery admin panel. goto the mod rewrite/URL rewrite.. scroll to the bottom and uncheck the "Show Item", and "Download Item". after you hit save you will probobly get somethign saying that your integration file does not exist... that is fine... if you hit back and refresh teh page the settings will have taken(mod rewrite does nto work yet).

then attempt to display the page again. after you login make your user an admin, then i got another browser(i use firefix as my default, so IE is my test browser) and login as a bogus user... that is the best way to test IMO :)

let me knwo how it goes :)

[johnmont]

Figured it out guys. The error caused by: if ($ret->isError()) is caused -- among other things -- that if things go correctly when doing the embed, nothing is returned by the $ret= statements. So what you need to do is:

Change:
$retcreate = GalleryEmbed :: createUser($uid, $args);
if (!$retcreate->isSuccess())

To:
$retcreate = GalleryEmbed :: createUser($uid, $args);
if ($retcreate)


First, I believe that $retcreate->isSuccess() is no longer used. In the new paradigm of this version, if you do something and its successful, you get nothing returned back to $ret. Only when there is an error, then you get something back in $ret.

So my replacement says, "if you get something back"...which is essentially what the previous statment said: "if what you get back is not successful"


Change:
$ret = GalleryEmbed::checkActiveUser($uid);
if ($ret->isError()) {
To:
$ret = GalleryEmbed::checkActiveUser($uid);
if ($ret) {

Basically the same dealio. In the original, you were saying "if what is returned is an error then....". Now, this says "if you get anything back the...". And since you only get something back when there is an error, then its doing the same thing.

[Brent H]

Awesome! Works perfectly now, no errors :)

A new thread for this really should be created...

[defcon_420]

ok i cant scratch my head no more... this is driving me nuts :confused:

i decided not to upgrade to 3.5.4 YET because there is no way of getting my v3 articles hack to work with 3.5.4 so i upgraded from 3.0.7 to 3.0.13.

All worked well except the intergration of gallery 2.1 into vb 3.0.13
Gallery works standalone

i had it working with vb 3.0.13 and gallery 2.0, but i upgraded to gallery 2.1 and now all i get is this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: iserror() in /home/ganjacon/public_html/home/gallery2.php on line 75

my gallery is installed into /gallery2
VB is installed into /home

I'm not a programmer so any help is welcome

Read post ?116? on. that has the NEW(as of 2.1) integration code. they ahnged some varibales...

Brent and i went through some things that might help if you still get errors, and johnmount put up some more code that should resolve any issues you have :)

[defcon_420]

i was under the impression that the variables changed because of vbulletin 3.5.x cause i tried that script and it didnt work with my gallery 2.1 and vb 3.0.13
any ideas?

[Brent H]

The first script ONLY works with gallery 2.0 and vB 3.0... The second script ONLY works with with gallery 2.0 and vB 3.5, and the third script that I posted and johnmont provided fixes for is ONLY for gallery 2.1 and vB 3.5... There is no script for 2.1 and 3.0 that I'm aware of.

[silurius]

Glad to see this effort for 3.5 happening. Are there plans to release this in a new thread over in the 3.5 extensions forum?

[Brent H]

I'll write a tutorial for the 3.5.4/Gallery 2.1 version and post it over there later tonight, maybe we'll get some more people interested in this and expand it further :)

[johnmont]

Plugin 1:

This will delete users from the gallery table when you delete them from the VB Admin Panel.

1. new hook (Plugin System: Add New Plugin)
2. Hook Location: userdata_delete
3. Call it "Delete Gallery User' or something similar
4. The code:

require_once('/absolute/path/to/gallery2/embed.php');
$ret = GalleryEmbed::init();

if ($ret) {
// echo $ret->getAsHtml();
}
$uid = $this->existing['userid'];

$ret2 = GalleryEmbed::deleteUser($uid);

if ($ret2) {
// echo "ret2".$ret2->getAsHtml() ;
}

You can uncomment the echos to see what is happening if badness occurs. Now whenever you delete a user from VB, you'll delete that user from Gallery, as well as the entry in the gallery ExternalIdMap database table.





Plugin 2:

This plugin will:

a. Update a VB user's information in the gallery2 database when they modify their User CP.
b. If a user has not been created already in the gallery2 database, a new user will be created.
c. Also note the use of custom user fields in the code, to allow for full names in the gallery information area.

Installation is similar to my previous post:

1. new hook (Plugin System: Add New Plugin)
2. location: userdata_postsave
3. call it "Update Gallery User" or something
4. The code follows:

require_once('/absolute/path/to/gallery2/embed.php'');
$ret = GalleryEmbed::init();

if ($ret) {
// echo $ret->getAsHtml();
}


// Set fullname based upon custom fields
$fullname=$this->existing['field13'] ." ". $this->existing['field14'];


// Set the array for updating
$args['fullname'] = $fullname ;
$args['username'] = $this->existing['username'];
$args['hashedpassword'] = $this->existing['password'];
$args['hashmethod'] = 'md5';
$args['email'] = $this->existing['email'];
$args['language'] = $this->existing['lang_code'];
$args['creationtimestamp'] = $this->existing['joindate'];
$args['groupid'] = $this->existing['usergroupid'];

// Get the userid
$uid = $this->existing['userid'];


$ret = GalleryEmbed::isExternalIdMapped($uid,$args);

//Now if no user exists, we'll create one
//If user exists, we'll update existing user

if ($ret && ($ret->getErrorCode() & ERROR_MISSING_OBJECT)) {

$ret2 = GalleryEmbed::createUser($uid,$args);

}else {

$ret2 = GalleryEmbed::updateUser($uid,$args);

}


if ($ret2) {

// echo "ret2: ". $ret2->getAsHtml() ;
}

[defcon_420]

can anyone give some help with 3.0.x to 2.1?

/me scratch's head

alternatively if someone could point me in the right direction to get v3 articles working with VB 3.5.X or find a way to get the articles i have in my database displayed in another articles hack i could then upgrade to 3.5.x

help please

[Brent H]

Awesome, johnmont, thanks!

[johnmont]

Remember, this could essentially be a beta test -- seems as though its working correctly....but ya know the caveats....

What I also need to do is:

1. cross check the information when someone accesses the gallery site. update if it is out of date.

2. get the primary group from VB across to gallery2.

now that is EXACTLY what we need to make this work. perfectly.

im not much help but if you need some basic help with that let me know :)



Has anybody deleted a user, then tried to get them automatically recreated?

i have a test user, created the account through the integration script. deleted the user, now whenever i go back to the integration script, it gives me an error on line 113

I saw your post on the gallery site...it was a bit cryptic but one of the devs answered your question earlier in the thread:

http://gallery.menalto.com/node/35249

Basically -- when you delete an emebedded user in gallery (from the site admin page) it doesn't delete all of the information related to the user. One user reference still exists in the externalIdMap table....this is the table that links a userid from VB to a userid in gallery. And when you're trying to recreate the user, the userid exists in externalIdMap already -- so it fails. Embedded gallery is designed to have all user functions controlled by the embedding app (VB). So what you get when you delete a user from within Gallery and not the embedding app is to be expected...or explained at least. Its not really robust, imho...but since you should really be creating a Gallery user when a user is created in VB -- it makes a bit of sense.

That being said, that's why I created the plugins for VB....so that you can control the users from VB. And why i'm working on the group thing.

And when you're trying to recreate the user, the userid exists in externalIdMap already -- so it fails. Embedded gallery is designed to have all user functions controlled by the embedding app (VB). So what you get when you delete a user from within Gallery and not the embedding app is to be expected...or explained at least. Its not really robust, imho...but since you should really be creating a Gallery user when a user is created in VB -- it makes a bit of sense.

That being said, that's why I created the plugins for VB....so that you can control the users from VB. And why i'm working on the group thing.

yea he "anwsered" the question. but the problem is that i only want users in group X to be able to upload to the gallery. so i dont want to create a user account out of the box.

i already have an IF statement in place to create for ONLY user in group x. but say one of the users does nto want gallery anymore(its a paying service on my site), so i remove his account(or whatever). then he wants the ability back. i cant simply add the user into teh correct VBB group and the user be happy.

im just looking for the most seamless integration possible :)

there was some code that i found on the G2 forum that attempted to reolve the issue. but i aquired a bunch of errors once i put the code in place.

What I'm working on is the following...I'm almost done. Not sure if it will help...

1. Users get automatically created/deleted in gallery whenever changes are made in VB

2. User's primary VB group gets updated/tracked in gallery. So if you change the user's primary group in VB it gets changed in gallery. Haven't dealt with additional groups at this point, because I don't need it for my site.

3. User's info in VB gets updated in gallery as well.

I don't know if this would work for you -- using the primary VB group as the gallery group. But I'm almost done with the integration code.

sounds similar to what i want. i just want only users in group X to be allowd to upload to gallery. if all of my users had an account, i would have to modify gallerys permissions. and they dont really have a "deny" option with their system :)

do you know if their is an easy way to add a option to the "Quick User Links" dropdown when you view a users profile? if so, that would aleviate my embeded user problem for the time being. i would rather not modify the VBB usertools.php file to make it work.

I've just written a tutorial on achieving integration between Gallery 2.1 and vBulletin 3.5.X, viewable here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=111931). Hopefully this helps condense things a little and make the process that much easier for those wanting to do this.

I have created a template named gallery2
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
$data[headHtml]
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr><td class="tcat">Gallery</td></tr>
<tr><td class="alt1">$data[bodyHtml]</td></tr>
</table>
$footer
</body>
</html>
If the line $data= runGallery(); is used I am getting the blank display on page. If I don't use that function Only the template gets displayed with no images on gallery. It displays the forum. no problem at all. What could be the problem

[SilVert]

this:
'relativeG2Path' => '..video_gallery/gallery2',

should probobly look like this:
relativeG2Path' => '../video_gallery/gallery2',

I saw the demo of cvreefers. I am not able to understand it. If the user registers and login in the forum, can he upload his images or movie files in the gallery?
I don't know whether I can ask about this or not. Are the POTM & other files in v directory of cvreefers is accessible?

The above integration code I posted is using for the integration of vB 3.0.5 and Gallery 2.0.4. Is thjere any problem with the version?

I am getting error from handleRequest function of GalleryEmbed class. It is causing to display the previous page and does not allow to do any modifiactions. I have given the handleRequest function of GalleryEmbed class as below
function handleRequest() {
static $secondCacheKey = 'GalleryEmbed::initSecondPass';
return GalleryMain(true);
}
Can you guide what could be the problem ? Am I using the correct integration code(gallery2.php)

Anyone using this on VB 3.6? I don't want to upgrade until I know it's working or how to tweek it to get it to work :)

Thanks,

Does anyone have instructions on how to make this work in vb3.6.4???

I tried the code above and i get an error on line 75
Fatal error: Call to a member function isError() on a non-object in /home/jamie/public_html/vbp/vbulletin/gallery2.php on line 75

After a bit of effort, I gave up trying to truly integrate G2.

What I ended up doing was setting up a new photo album system for Members, and importing my Gallery1 albums into Gallery2 separately.

After copying G2's Siriux Theme into a different name, I edited the template files so that it came roughly 95% of what my normal vbulletin theme looks like. Had to remove my top navbar, and the dynamic links.

My Gallery Album has over 29,000 photos in it. What I've learned over the years is that user turnover will leave many photos in any online album without owners. Since Gallery never really had a true relationship with any CMS's user management functions (just read it's database), it isn't a significant hardship to just integrate G2 visually and manually setup new moderator/user profiles for those with significant contributions to manage.

It may seem like a cop-out, but the end result still looks visually "stunning" and the current community can enjoy thousands of photos contributed over many years.

I'm still a big believer in Gallery, maybe someday it will offer a true vB integration.

[reddog64]

Does this work with 3.6.8 r2 ???
I've loaded up G2, but dont want to do this integration till i know it works...

Anyone wanna do it for me??? $$$
