the settings to use in randomcmps.php are indicated in the image block settings of the gallery site admin page

So this won't work for Vbulletin? Just Advanced? I use the image block on my forum but don't have the right url's for the embedded gallery. They open up non-embedded. Could you make one for vanilla VB?

Thanks,

Sean

Is this available for 3.6?

works w/ 3.6.4

Anyone got this working properly with the integrated Gallery/vBa yet? Here's the link to that hack:

I'd love to get this working properly but I have no idea how to do it myself. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

I'm having such a strange problem with this.
It was all working fine until I added a new style to the forum. It's a child style of the working one and the adv_portal_newrandomgallery2 is inherited. The preview works and I see a random image if i browse to the randomcmps.php file in a browser.

Im stumped. If i go back to the original style it works fine.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing it?

Cheers,
Dan.

Has anybody managed to get this to work in vBa 3?

The preview works, but as soon as I add the module to a page, the contents of the $includedrg don't show. Looking at the displayed page source, the $include isn't returning anything to the output html.

Does it work with vba 3.*?

Thanks

Rather than use a plugin, another option is just to write a php file that you use as a php based module (as opposed to template based) and make a call to a template in the php code. You can also decide whether you want to have it link into a standalone gallery (as the examples given so far) or whether to link into an embedded gallery. You do this in the way you compose the request to get the latest/random/whatever image.

e.g.
http://{path to your gallery install}/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=ran domImage&g2_show=fullSize&g2_show=title
gives a random image which will link to a stand alone gallery page

vs.
http://{path to your gallery integrated page}/gallery.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks= randomImage&g2_show=title
which gives a random image which links to an embedded gallery

Try both of the above just in a browser window and 'view source' to see the different links passed back by gallery in each case.

I'll give you an example here of what I did to put a latest image block in my web site.

Just create a new php file (called whatever you want) in your modules/ directory with the following content:
Then create a new module in VBA admin as a PHP module, choose the php file you created above in the 'file to include' drop down (make sure the file is in the modules directory), give it a unique id and add the name of a new template you need to create for the block (I called mine 'adv_gallery_block' but it can be whatever you want). Then add it to whatever VBA page definitions you have according to how you've set up your files and integration.

Finally, create a new template with the name you picked above (mine being called 'adv_gallery_block' in your desired style. You can design the template to garnish the image any way you want and reference the content that is extracted in the php file created previously. My simple example is -
Which simply dumps the content in the middle of a centred table data element. Make sure you've got he module enabled and the permissions are set correctly and you should be away and running :)
