vb.org Archive - Menalto's G2 integration into VB3

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. 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:

Code:

        $ret = GalleryEmbed::init(array('embedUri' => 'gallery2.php',

                    'embedPath' => '/VB',

                        'relativeG2Path' => '../gallery2',

                    'loginRedirect' => 'index.php',

                    'activeUserId' => $uid));

and

Code:

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:

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! ;)

(nope, i'm not affiliated w/ them... if you wanna donate to me, then i'll redirect you to the donation link to the site that this is for: a non-profit saltwater aquariast club's site! :) )

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....8&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....2&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.
