The problem I ran in to was that it expected files referenced by global.php to be located in places that they aren't...

Here is something helpful when you are dealing with problems like this. In whatever file you are using to call global.php (in this case a gallery file in another directory), use something like this:

PHP Code:

    // Full path to vBulletin
    define('CWD', '/path/to/html/vBulletin');

    // Call global.php
    require_once(CWD . '/global.php');

    // Get some custom functions from vBulletin directory
    require_once(CWD . '/includes/functions_loo.php'); 


The CWD constant will insure that all calls to vBulletin files point to the right directory, even the ones vBulletin makes on its own when you include global.php. Just make sure you always use the constant in the require_once(); function and everything should work correctly (unless you set the wrong path!).

Hope that helps.
