Menalto random gallery photo in vBa 2.1
 
This is my first mod, i am not a programmer but i'll try to give support IF i can.

This mod is to display a random photo from Menalto Gallery 2.1 in vBadvanced 2.1


READ ME
For this hack to work you must have both Menalto Gallery 2.1 and vBadvanced CMPS 2.1 installed
This installation assumes that your vBulletin install is in your webroot and your gallery install is in /gallery2/" If they are not you will have to change the path's yourself as only you know where you have installed them.


Installation

Step 1.
Open randomcmps.php replacing the CAPS with your domain information and path to main.php in your gallery directory, save and upload this file into your webroot.

Code:

<head><link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.YOURDOMAIN.COM/GALLERY2/main.php?g2_controller=imageblock.ExternalCSS&amp;g2_frames=wood"/></head>
<?php
@readfile('http://www.YOURDOMAIN.COM/GALLERY2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_show=fullSize&g2_show=title');
?>

Step 2.
Edit the plugin randomcmps-plugins.xml replace the CAPS with your domain information and save

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
 
<plugins>
    <plugin active="1" product="adv_cmps">
        <title>Random Gallery Photo in Portal</title>
        <hookname>global_start</hookname>
        <phpcode><![CDATA[ob_start();
  include('http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/randomcmps.php');
  $includedrg = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();]]></phpcode>
    </plugin>
</plugins>


Step 3

AdminCP> Plugin System> Download/Upload Plugins> Browse> find randomcmps-plugins.xml and import make sure the plugin is active after importing


Step 4

AdminCP> Styles and Templates > Style Manager > Add New Template >

TITLE:

Code:

adv_portal_newrandomgallery2


TEMPLATE

Code:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet]Gallery</strong></span></td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" width="100%" align="center">
$includedrg
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />



PRESS SAVE AND RELOAD


Step 5

AdminCP > vBa CMPS> Add Module> Template>


Code:

Title:    gallery2
column:    YOUR CHOICE
display order: 0  but u can put it where u want it
Active: Yes
 
Template to include: newrandomgallery2
 
module shell template options: no

Set the usergroups u want to see it and save


Step 6

AdminCP> vBa CMPS> Edit Pages

check "gallery 2" in the Modules Enabled box for the pages you want the random photo to display in and save



KNOWN ISSUE ONLY EFFECTS EMBEDDED MODE:
If Gallery2.1 is running in embed mode and a user clicks the random photo in vBadvanced they user is directed to the non embedded gallery.

As i am not a programmer any improvements or help with this or other issues would be gratefully accepted

DISCLAIMER:
This hack maybe chop up, torn up, thrown out, spit on, ripped up or modified in any way you see fit as long as it dont involve me getting into trouble. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

The module can be in horizontal if you selected center rather than right option when adding the module to vBa, you may also select left and it will be vertical.
As far as i can see if you would like to pull 2 more photos from the random photo script in gallery2 (main.php) then you will need to add 2 new varibles to pull the information.

What you need to do is add 2 varibles to your plugin like this
Code:

ob_start();
  include('http://www.yourdomain.com/randomcmps.php');
  $includedrg = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
ob_start();
  include('http://www.yourdomain.com/randomcmps.php');
  $includedrg1 = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
ob_start();
  include('http://www.yourdomain.com/randomcmps.php');
  $includedrg2 = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

then add the varibles from within your adv_portal_newrandomgallery2 template
eg.
Code:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet]Gallery</strong></span></td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" width="100%" align="center">
$includedrg
<br>
$includedrg1
<br>
$includedrg2
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />

:cool:

awesome, thank you defcon_420

would it be easy to make it work with vbadvanced 2.0.0?
i just tried it but it gives global errors, i guess since it was made for 2.1.0

defcon_420 05-01-2006 11:56 PM

i really have no idea Blackwidow as i dont use vbadvanced 2.0
Its been tested and works on vbulletin 3.5.4, gallery 2.1 on vba 2.1

sorry i cant offer any support for vba 2.0 as i dont have it installed and have no test installation.

Hey.

I totally could be missing something, but if you have the G2 image block module installed, wouldn't it be easier to just make a module that loads it instead?

That is what I did and it works great. It also will load either embedded or external (depending on the url).

I attached the module I made (it took all of 3 minutes) and should work with any version of vba with a small change here or there... Just edit the file to your domain and delete or add to have multiple images.

Cheers!

Hello to all
I followed the instructions, but i guess i missed something.
i am running vb 3.5.4, vbadvanced cmps 2.1.0 and gallery 2.1.1
The gallery bar appears in my vbadvanced index page, but the random images are missing in action.

thanks in advance for the help
