This tutorial will outline the steps needed to integrate your vBulletin 3.5.X and Menalto Gallery 2.1 installations. The original thread located here has become a little too scattered, and since it's original focus was on the Gallery 2.0 and vBulletin 3.0 series, I think it'd be beneficial to start this new thread so that the information is more easily found for the 3.5.X and 2.1 series.

Before we begin, you should be aware that this tutorial assumes that you'll be placing your gallery in the root directory for your forums. My directory structure looks a little like this:

public_html/Vbulletin Files
and
public_html/gallery2/Gallery Files

As long as your gallery folder is located within your root vBulletin directory, this should work just fine.

Step 1:
Install Menalto Gallery 2.1. Remember to upload the "gallery2" folder INSIDE your root vBulletin directory!

Step 2:
Create a new file containing the following, and save it as gallery2.php:
PHP Code:
<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'gallery'); // change this depending on your filename

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array(

);

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array(

);

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
'gallery2',
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array(

);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

require_once('./global.php');

// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// #######################################################################

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Gallery';
error_reporting(E_ALL );

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

// #######################################################################
// ###################### Begin G2 INTEGRATION CODE ######################
// #######################################################################

$data = runGallery();
$data['title'] = (isset($data['title']) && !empty($data['title'])) ? $data['title'] : 'Gallery';

function runGallery() {
global $vbulletin, $userinfo;
require_once('/home/paranorm/public_html/gallery2/embed.php');

$data = array();

// If it's an anonymous user, set the g2 activeUser to null
$uid = $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] = 0 ? '' : $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];

// initiate G2
// You need to edit the following 4 lines to suit your VB3 & G2 installations
// This is set up for an install that looks like:
// public_html/VB/<vb files>
// public_html/gallery2/<gallery2 files>
// and also setup for a VB3 template name of 'gallery2'. If you have any
// differences, make those changes here!
// You might need to change 'loginRedirect' if you have your VB3 setup to
// where index.php is not the root page of VB3... Like if you've changed it
// to forums.php or something of the like.

$ret = GalleryEmbed::init(array('embedUri' => '/gallery2.php',
'g2Uri' => 'http://www.paranormalis.com/gallery2/',
'loginRedirect' => 'index.php',
'activeUserId' => $uid));
if ($ret)
{
if ($ret->getErrorCode() & ERROR_MISSING_OBJECT)
{
// Check if there's no G2 user mapped to the activeUserId
$ret = GalleryEmbed::isExternalIdMapped($uid, 'GalleryUser');
if ($ret && ($ret->getErrorCode() & ERROR_MISSING_OBJECT))
{
// User not mapped, create G2 user now
// Get Arguments for the new user:
$args['fullname'] = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];

$args['creationtimestamp'] = $vbulletin->userinfo['joindate'];

$retcreate = GalleryEmbed :: createUser($uid, $args);
if ($retcreate)
{
echo '<HR>line: '.__LINE__.', Failed to create G2 user with extId ['.$uid.']. Here is the error message from G2: <br />'.$retcreate->getAsHtml();
return false;

$title = ''; $javascript = array(); $css = array();

if (isset($g2moddata['headHtml'])) {
list($data['title'], $css, $javascript) = GalleryEmbed::parseHead($g2moddata['headHtml']);
$data['headHtml'] = $g2moddata['headHtml'];
}

/* Add G2 javascript */
if (!empty($javascript)) {
foreach ($javascript as $script) {
$data['javascript'] .= "\n".$script;
}
}

/* Add G2 css */
if (!empty($css)) {
foreach ($css as $style) {
$data['css'] .= "\n".$style;
}
}

// sidebar block
if (isset($g2moddata['sidebarHtml']) && !empty($g2moddata['sidebarHtml'])) {
$data['sidebarHtml'] = $g2moddata['sidebarHtml'];
}

return $data;
}
// #######################################################################
// ####################### End G2 integration code #######################
// #######################################################################

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('gallery2') . '");');

?>
(or download the attached gallery2.php)

Step 3:
Find and edit the following code to suit your site setup:
PHP Code:
 require_once('/home/paranorm/public_html/gallery2/embed.php'); 
and
PHP Code:
 $ret = GalleryEmbed::init(array('embedUri' => '/gallery2.php',
'g2Uri' => 'http://www.yoursite.com/gallery2/',
'loginRedirect' => 'index.php', 
Save and upload the file to your root vBulletin directory.

Step 4:
Create a new template in your style manager called gallery2 containing the following:
HTML 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>
And that's basically it! Your gallery should now be accessable via www.yoursite.com/gallery2.php or www.yoursite.com/forums/gallery2.php (depending on how you have it set up).

You can achieve further integration by using johnmont's plugins which will:
  1. Delete users from the Gallery when you delete them from the vBulletin control panel.
  2. Update user information in the gallery when they change their information in the User CP.
John has given me permission to post them The attached gallery-plugins.xml file will create two new plugins called Delete Gallery User and Update Gallery User. You'll need to edit both of these plugins after installation and change
PHP Code:
require_once('/home/paranorm/public_html/gallery2/embed.php''); 
(it's the very first line in both of them) to match your site setup.

Hopefully this tutorial sparks a little more interest in this area and we can get some additional people contributing solutions to achieve tighter integration :banana:

As the integration progresses, I'll update this thread to keep everything together and accessable.

Enjoy!

For those that are getting the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING

It has been said before on page 4, but what you need to do is fix an error in the upload plugin. Go to plugin manager > Update Gallery User and edit the following line:

Code:
require_once('/home/website/root/forum/gallery2/embed.php'');
remove the double quote at the end so it looks like:

Code:
require_once('/home/website/root/forum/gallery2/embed.php');

I'm having the problem like oldgoat above. I have installed G2 into my vbulleting forums directory. All seems to work, but there are no buttons in the navbar. If you manually browse to the gallery2.php page it's there. I thought maybe it was my skin, but looking at the "more" stock skin, I still dont' see anything in the navbar. I don't even know what to type to get someone started in helping me, sorry. But any help would be much appriciated!
Andrew

also, we're randomly getting the error: unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING
If I remove the double quote as stated above, we cannot post or send PMs at all. We get:

Warning: Unknown(/forums/gallery2/embed.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/class_dm_user.php(1657) : eval()'d code on line 1

Fatal error: (null)() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/forums/gallery2/embed.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /homepages/42/d98622539/htdocs/terraforums/forums/includes/class_dm_user.php(1657) : eval()'d code on line 1

Thanks very much

wouldnt it be good to release a new version of the integration working for 3.6.8 to cut all those discussion short and makes it easier for people to find the right answer.

im still confused if i just download this integration and leave it as it is, or if i have to edit it after?

When I run this mod, I receive the message:

Code:
Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/public_html/forum/gallery2/embed.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/outrack/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /gallery2.php on line 55

Is there anyway to get past this without having to contact my host to remove the open_basedir restriction?

So, I decided to take a fat chance and try installing Gallery 2.2 (Latest) with vBulletin 3.6.8, and lo and behold it worked. Well, almost.

Here's what I did:
I created the gallery2 directory within the forum home, as indicated.
But then I struck a small problem. The "Your album" as well as clicking on an image, would take me to /v/<name>.
So, I then proceeded to move gallery2.php to /gallery2/gallery2.php, (didn't need to change the embed.php line or anything) and nothing came up. I then linked the file back to gallery2.php and it worked. No snags yet. (See minor issues below.)

I did try and add the .xml files for the two addons, and also hit a serious snag.:erm:
Trying to add it as a product said this looks like a Plugin...
Ok, so now to add a plugin.
And I had to do a quick crash course. So here goes for those that don't want to do too mouch soul or web searching:

In the add new plugin part:
  1. Select vBulletin in the first dropdown. (Mine contains vDrupal as well.)
  2. Select the Hook Location as userdata_postsave in the first one and userdata_delete in the second one.
  3. The titles are "Update Gallery User" and "Delete Gallery User" respectively.
  4. Now take the first section from "CDATA[" (Not including, in otherwords, first line starts with "require_once") up to before "]]></phpcode" and paste that as the Plugin PHP Code.
  5. Make sure you do this for both parts, that are listed within the xml file.
  6. Ensure that you have enabled the plugins, and you're done.

I am still trying to figure out, how to not pass the gallery out of the vBulletin forums, when you click on "My Gallery" and any images.

This however is not a major issue right now, as I will change the skin to allow you to go back to either the home page or the forum anyway.

Thankyou for all the work Brent. Well done.
Now I need to figure out how to do a group control from vBulletin to gallery, whereby only members of a specific forum group can add images to the gallery.

VBB - 3.6.8
vBadvanced CMPS - v3.0 RC2
Gallery - 2

http://www.soft.com.sg
http://www.soft.com.sg/forum
http://www.soft.com.sg/gallery
http://www.soft.com.sg/forum/gallery.php

Hi guys

I have set up as above but somehow I could not get the integration working.

The forum(with CMPS) and gallery are working fine on their own.

Please help me out here.

Thanks.

James
