Errors when including global.php

[kolita]

Hi Xia,

(Hope is not too late.. well, it will serve someone else if it's too late for you )

Here's the code to get an instance of vbulletins' registry object (a.k.a $vbulletin).

I've placed toghether a couple pieces from various threads here in vb.org (including some of them from this same one, and from https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=112388)

You can place the function as a method in your class and call it statically like:

PHP Code:

$vbInstance = &yourClass::_getVbulletinRegistryInstance() 


(remember to use '=&', not just '=' here )

I've successfully tested this and used a datamanager, and it worked perfectly (created thread and post correctly :-D)

This follows a singleton pattern, so you'll never overwrite the instance, even if the instance was created by vB itself.

PHP Code:

function &_getVbulletinRegistryInstance() {
    define('SKIP_SESSIONCREATE', 1);
    define('DIE_QUIETLY', 1);
    define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'vbSupport');
    $GLOBALS['phrasegroups'] = array();
    $GLOBALS['specialtemplates'] = array();
    $GLOBALS['globaltemplates'] = array();
    $GLOBALS['actiontemplates'] = array();

    $cwd = getcwd();
    chdir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/forum'); 

    if (!isset($GLOBALS['vbulletin'])) {
        include_once('./includes/init.php');
        $GLOBALS['vbulletin'] = &$vbulletin;
    }
    chdir($cwd);

    return $GLOBALS['vbulletin'];
} 


regards!
