Cool beans.

The behavior of array_merge() was modified in PHP 5.
Unlike PHP 4, array_merge() now only accepts parameters of type array.

Hiya Zach baby! Does this work with 3.6.0 out of the box?

[bulbasnore]

Ever get an answer on 3.6?

I just got the newest Gallery version and I plan to upgrade one of my sites to 3.6.2... I hope this works but if not I will share any code changes that were needed as this looks like a must have for my site!

Zach.

On my test board this hack works fine. running 3.6.4
however on my live board 3.6.3 I get this error

Invalid SQL:

SELECT imageid, images.title, filename, thumbname, originalname, extension, images.catid ,images.userid, images.username, images.title, images.description, images.dateline
FROM vb3adv_gallery_images AS images

WHERE valid = 1
AND images.catid IN (4,13)
ORDER BY RAND()
LIMIT 4;

MySQL Error : Table 'xxxxxxx_vbulletin.vb3adv_gallery_images' doesn't exist

I got the same error after upgrading vBgallery to 2.1. Had to disable this mod. Btw, I'm running vB 3.6.4.

Any chance this could one day be included in the vBGallery itself, like the forum home and profile mods?

[Delw]

Its really easy to fix to make it work in 3.6.4. I did it on my first try.
if Zach ( or an admin) gives me the ok I will tell the changes.

I dont know if its ok or not as I never redid someones stuff before and dont know how that works.

to make it work for vb 3.6.* - 3.6.4 and PhotoPost vBGallery v2.1
you just need only to change the xml file

line 41 was

$globaltemplates  = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('adv_gallery_imagebit','forumdisplay_vbgallery',));

change line 41 to

$globaltemplates  = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('ppgal_imagebit','forumdisplay_vbgallery',));

line 170 was

                FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "adv_gallery_images AS images

Change line 170 to

                FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "ppgal_images AS images

do not upload the file functions_gallery_store.php as vbgallery already has this file in there in the version 2.1

just follow the org. directions omitting the functions_gallery_store.php upload
