I am trying to integrate coppermine gallery into vbulletin. Coppermine allows to include a custom header and footer. You can use html or php files for your custom header and footer.
I already tried it, but it does not seem to work. One problem is that the gallery is called from a sub directory (/forumroot/gallery). If I copy the needed vb files to the gallery directory, I get this error: Quote:

Do not copy the vb files to another folder because very often they call other vb files and won't be able to find them. Do a chdir, as mentioned already, in order to change to the vb forums directory and include them.

Thanks, now I can run the file from within the gallery file without copying vb files to the gallery directory. But I still get the error I posted above, when I try to include the file in coppermine. The file executes fine when I run it stand alone.

Hi,
With regular forums, the breadcrumbs look like this: Quote:
Code:
$navbits[$parent] = 'My custom page'; Quote:
Quote:
That is, how can I add a "breadcrumb" to that first row? How would I add two, if necessary? Quote:

I figure it out. For anyone interested, you simply add items to the navbits array in the order you want them to appear, specifying the url of any link as the array key and the text to display as the value.
Another question I have, though, is how to pass a meta description tag that is dynamically generated via the php script? Right now it appears to be using the forum's default meta description tag. Thanks! |

Would a custom page still get displayed correctly if the forums are turned off?
I'm thinking of using this method to create a custom 404 error page that would perfectly match our forum's design, but I would need the page to work when the forums are both on & off. Thanks, James |
