Will you be updating your great plug-in to be compatable with gallery 2.1?

vBGallery 2.1 does not need this hack. It's built in.
AdminCP => vBGallery => Modify Add-Ons

No.

This works on Photopost vBGallery ver. 2.0 beta - 2.0 gold.

2.1 has it built in now.

Hey,

I.ve bought version 2.1 but i have one small question.
I use the Tangerine style and i want to display 4 pictures in one colum.
In the left header colum of this style under the advertising bar see attachment. when i use the $vbgallery it does not display what am i doing wrong?

I've added two attachments for a better understanding cause my english is not so good.

You should have no need of this hack in 2.1 vBGallery.
- I have ran across this problem before.

The person had Left side column on forum home only installed and the gallery images would not show up on their side block.

What I did to make it work:

1) your side bar is attached to phase_template this hook runs before forumhome_complete.

What I had to do to get it working is move plugin "PhotoPost vBGallery Forumhome" from hook location forumhome_complete to global_start.

2) I edited "PhotoPost vBGallery Forumhome"

Replaced:

require(DIR .  '/includes/vbgallery/forumhome_complete.php');

With:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'){
require(DIR .  '/includes/vbgallery/forumhome_complete.php');
}

3) place $vbgallery in the side block template.

1) your side bar is attached to phase_template

I dont know what you mean with the phase_template!
The leftcolum is a part of the Tangrine style and i kan only edit it in the header template. So i thought i could paste $vbgallery in there.

2) I did make the changes in "PhotoPost vBGallery Forumhome"


3) No luck cause it does not work.

What more or different most i do?
