Since posting this question i have managed to get it working the way i wanted, even tho accounts are being created the users can't add or edit to the gallery. Originally i was importing users from phpBB and that was leading to admin conflicts etc

somewhere in this thread i put some code inplace that will only create user accounts if they are in X VBB group... if they are not in the group they will only view as guest

The embeded script create a user in the gallery2 database but the password isn't correct. Using the same password, user can't login to the standalone gallery. This is not a big deal since user can access the gallery after login to the forum.
Another note, is there a mod to display the most recent added albums or most view images, etc... I thought I saw it somewhere but couldn't find it. That would be a nice feature especially when you have a lot of nested albums.
Great mod and great work. Thanks a million.

sure thing. sorry it took me so long to get back to you(been SLAMMED at work) if i even helped at all

the standalone password is explained somewhere. when VBB assignes the password it injevts "salt(<password>)" or something like that into the password. so it will work fine embed, but when you goto the standalone version, you would have to enter salt(insertpasswordhere). im 99% sure that is the right "frase" but i cant remember EXACLTY what it is. it has been documented somewhere. it might be in the gallery integration script for versions prior to 3.5(aka 3.0)

thereis somethign inside of gallery called ?imageblock? i think that allows you to view a random image etc. there is also a way to point to a gallery image or gallery via an external site. i have not messed with this at all, but i knwo it exists. now if it wil do the most recent images etc, i do not know. sorry, i dont have all the anwsers
