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['username'] = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];
$args['hashedpassword'] = $vbulletin->userinfo['password'];
$args['hashmethod'] = 'md5';
$args['email'] = $vbulletin->userinfo['email'];
$args['language'] = $vbulletin->userinfo['lang_code'];
$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;
}
$ret = GalleryEmbed::checkActiveUser($uid);
if ($ret) {
print $ret->getAsHtml();
return false;
}
}
else
{
echo '<HR>line: '.__LINE__.', G2 did not return a success status. Here is the error message from G2: <br />'.$ret->getAsHtml();
return false;

return false;
}
}

// user interface: disable sidebar in G2 and get it as separate HTML to put it into a block
//GalleryCapabilities::set('showSidebar', false);

// handle the G2 request
$g2moddata = GalleryEmbed::handleRequest();

// show error message if isDone is not defined
if (!isset($g2moddata['isDone'])) {
$data['bodyHtml'] = 'isDone is not defined, something very bad must have happened.';
return $data;
}
// die if it was a binary data (image) request
if ($g2moddata['isDone']) {
exit; /* uploads module does this too */
}

// put the body html from G2 into the xaraya template
$data['bodyHtml'] = isset($g2moddata['bodyHtml']) ? $g2moddata['bodyHtml'] : '';

// get the page title, javascript and css links from the <head> html from G2
$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!

I am having the issue of having created a user with the userid of 1 bumping with the one that VB has for me as an admin.

I am not clear on how to fix this even though I have been reading this thread all day

Could someone please give me a hand?

Check the screen caps below.


I known when I was monkeying around with it before it did this same thing, and I ended up completely removing and reinstalling. Could it possibly be a corrupted style or something?
the issue is realted to the URL REWRITE!!!! the rewrite does not play well with "embed mode". somebody said in this thread they had it working, but i haev yet to have it all working... remove all of the check boxes and add them in 1 by one... i only have 2 or 3 things workin with the rewrite....

http://<mydomain>/forum/gallery2.php

I don't see any thumbnails in my gallery? Any idea. TIA for you help.

PS. Gallery 2.1, VBB 3.6
im going to blame this one on the URL rewrite again.... try to uncheck everything, validate it all works, then check things one by one till they stop working...

right now, i bet that if you look at where the links point it is saying something like <site name> gallery/v/xxxx/xxxx. the key is that v. that is from the url rewrite. and the embed mode does not understand that very well...

http://<domainurl>/forum/gallery2/images/galleryLogo_sm.gif

where:

Forum installed at: http://<domainurl>/forum

Gallery2 installed at: http://<domainurl>/forum/gallery2

Can someone please shed some light on this issue? TIA.

i really hate to say this again.. but looks like URL rewrite... try disabling all of the rewrite and see if it works fine...

I've gone and completely uninstalled the url rewrite module and the thumbnails work. As soon as I enable any portion of it. thumbs are gone. Either way it strips the navigation stuff and replaces it with basic text

I'm using the gallery as a database for scans from magazines and newspapers etc so i only need 1 user to be able to upload and be admin, all of the other existing vB members only need access as a guest.

Since posting this question i have managed to get it working the way i wanted, even tho accounts are being created the users can't add or edit to the gallery. Originally i was importing users from phpBB and that was leading to admin conflicts etc

Thanks Silvert. I got my gallery working ok now. I think it's the path that's not correct. My only problem is that when the user access gallery2.php the first time. The embeded script create a user in the gallery2 database but the password isn't correct. Using the same password, user can't login to the standalone gallery. This is not a big deal since user can access the gallery after login to the forum.
Another note, is there a mod to display the most recent added albums or most view images, etc... I thought I saw it somewhere but couldn't find it. That would be a nice feature especially when you have a lot of nested albums.
Great mod and great work. Thanks a million.

somewhere in this thread i put some code inplace that will only create user accounts if they are in X VBB group... if they are not in the group they will only view as guest

sure thing. sorry it took me so long to get back to you(been SLAMMED at work) if i even helped at all

the standalone password is explained somewhere. when VBB assignes the password it injevts "salt(<password>)" or something like that into the password. so it will work fine embed, but when you goto the standalone version, you would have to enter salt(insertpasswordhere). im 99% sure that is the right "frase" but i cant remember EXACLTY what it is. it has been documented somewhere. it might be in the gallery integration script for versions prior to 3.5(aka 3.0)

thereis somethign inside of gallery called ?imageblock? i think that allows you to view a random image etc. there is also a way to point to a gallery image or gallery via an external site. i have not messed with this at all, but i knwo it exists. now if it wil do the most recent images etc, i do not know. sorry, i dont have all the anwsers

Just to jump in because I didn't see it noted elsewhere in the thread...

I installed everything and it is functioning just fine, images and all work, users are created in the gallery2 database, however the users dont seem to have any rights in gallery2. I can't figure out what group they are a part of in g2 as they dont seem to be listed as members of any of the groups that exist.

I have a barebones g2 install so I'm wondering if its some config options, some modules I didn't install or if I'm missing something.

The users viewing the embeded gallery get logged in as it shows their usernames in the view, but they just dont have access to upload or do anything beyond view the gallery.

I believe they are in "Registered User" group by default.

This what you want?

PHP Code:
require_once('/www/site/www/beta/embed.php');
$ret = GalleryEmbed::init();

if ($ret) {
//  echo $ret->getAsHtml();
}


// Set fullname based upon custom fields
$fullname=$this->existing['field13'] ." ". $this->existing['field14'];


// Set the array for updating
$args['fullname']     =  $fullname ; 
$args['username']    = $this->existing['username']; 
$args['hashedpassword'] =   $this->existing['password']; 
$args['hashmethod'] =    'md5'; 
$args['email']       =   $this->existing['email']; 
$args['language']   =   $this->existing['lang_code']; 
$args['creationtimestamp']   =   $this->existing['joindate'];

//$this->existing['usergroupid'] 

// Get the userid
$uid = $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];

//$this->existing['userid']


$ret = GalleryEmbed::isExternalIdMapped($uid,$args);

//Now if no user exists, we'll create one
//If user exists, we'll update existing user

if ($ret && ($ret->getErrorCode() & ERROR_MISSING_OBJECT)) {

 $ret2 = GalleryEmbed::createUser($uid,$args);

}else {

 $ret2 = GalleryEmbed::updateUser($uid,$args);

}


if ($ret2) {

//  echo "ret2: ". $ret2->getAsHtml() ;
} 
and this is the error I recieve using the java applet template:
Upload error: Upload failed: 'user id: 5 doesn't have permission: core.addDataItem for item id: 1007'.

I get the same error when trying to upload on 2 different user accounts

well, I don't know what I did, but it works now lol.

I do have another question though if anyone can help.

I have a couple of "premium usergroups" on our forum and I would like to be able to give them a larger quota in the gallery. Any suggestions on how to modify the creation/update scripts to get it to translate a forum groupID into the gallery group?

This is not longer working or not working as intended.

When I am not logged as administrator, the page appears in blank. And when I am logged in as administrator, I get several errors.

Quote:
line: 98, Failed to create G2 user with extId [1]. Here is the error message from G2:
Error (ERROR_COLLISION)

* in modules/core/classes/GalleryUser.class at line 154 (gallerycoreapi::error)
* in modules/core/classes/GalleryEmbed.class at line 360 (galleryuser::create)
* in /home/veguild/public_html/forums/gallery2.php at line 95 (galleryembed::createuser)
* in /home/veguild/public_html/forums/gallery2.php at line 50
And yes installed the plugins, but they are not working.
