Gallery2 (menalto) integration

[m_c]

I'm currently working on getting a site updated from 3.7.x to 4, but I'm hitting my head against a brick wall trying to get the gallery2 integration working.

I used the original mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=111931) and surprisingly, it partially works. My gallery user account was created, and the makings of the gallery page are displayed, but the layout is totally wrong, and links/images don't work.

I've tried updating the gallery2 template to use vB4 template variables, but as soon I change any of the old style variables in the template, I get an internal server error (500).
Having checked the error log, the errors are -

[Tue Mar 23 19:31:58 2010] [error] [client x] PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/html/test/gallery2.php(45) : eval()'d code on line 1, referer: http://www.mtbrider.com/test/gallery2.php
[Tue Mar 23 19:31:58 2010] [error] [client x] PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/html/test/gallery2.php(173) : eval()'d code on line 2, referer: http://www.mtbrider.com/test/gallery2.php

Line 45 is a comment, and line 173 is the closing php tag.

I've tried to follow this guide - [How-To] Include PHP In Templates In vBulletin-4 Powered Pages
and was hoping to work on converting sections at a time, but I'm getting no where due to the above problem.

Can anybody provide me with some tips as to any obvious bits that need changed, before I start commenting out large sections of code while trying to figure out and understand the new vB variable system?

anything ever happen with that?

Been doing a bit more searching on this, and am slowly starting to get things working.
The template/server error was down to not using the the old fetch_template function, instead of the newer vB_Template class (Using custom templates within your own vBulletin 4 based files for a basic summary).

I've now got the basic navigation menu displayed, but the CSS isn't being loaded (I'm guessing I need another vB style variable to load the right template?)

I also need to convert other bits of gallery2.php, so the g2 output is transferred via $templater, which I'm only slowly starting to understand.

Did either of you ever get this to work cleanly (vB4 with Gallery2.x)?

Hoping to snag the gallery2.php file rather than reinventing the wheel.

Thanks in advance.
