NOTE: Development for G2.1 and vB 3.5 is on this page: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=111931 I was about to post this on Menalto's site until i realized that I'd be publicly posting VB3's code... A no-no!!! heh! So, I'll post the instructions here, and then refer people to this post on how to do it!  (obviously they'll have to log on w/ their licensed account to see it)Ok, here's how to integrate menalto's G2 gallery into VB3. Menalto's gallery is sweet. Menalto's gallery is free. Menalto's gallery is here: http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php  This works on my system of vBulletin 3.0.7 and Gallery 2 Holy Hand Grenade. Known issues: VB3 has a password structure that consists of the user's password plus the salt md5'ed together. It is not possible to strip out just the user's password. Thus, this script pushes the users's password plus salt from VB3 into G2. The outcome - the standalone G2 passwords will not match *just* the user's password! There is talks of looking into salt'ing in the future w/ G2 integration, but that's the dealio as of this integration technique... If you are using G2 as 'embedded only', then game on, no worries. If not, then your users will need to log on through the VB3 install to setup their session, then can visit the G2 standalone if they wish... Step 1 - create a new file named 'gallery2.php' as per this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62164 (thx Gary King!!!) in that thread, the first box (the gallery2.php file), the contents will be (this is the section that contains the G2 embeded code which is available on Menalto's site... i'll update this thread w/ direct links once it's in place! *only* the G2 code is on their site, no VB3 code in accordance w/ the VB license agreement! ):Code:

'embedPath' => '/VB',
'relativeG2Path' => '../gallery2',
'loginRedirect' => 'index.php',
'activeUserId' => $uid));
Code:
require_once('../gallery2/embed.php');
step 2 - creating the template as per the same thread, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62164 (2nd code box) create a template named 'gallery2' (no tics) and in it, place the following code: 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> oh, forgot to add! in scouring the net, i've seen a couple of posts where people have offered to pay for this solution. if you are one of them, and are serious, then here's Menalto's donation link!  (nope, i'm not affiliated w/ them... if you wanna donate to me, then i'll redirect you to the donation link to the site that this is for: a non-profit saltwater aquariast club's site! )edit 2006.01.11 Quote:

an update!
i'm running a nightly build (from June 2nd) w/ core: 0.9.22 this includes the new url rewrite module - which works! i had to hardcode some links though as the gallery url rewrite takes over the vB relative links. so i had to make the relative links 'static' in 1 template and hard code a phrase too... the phrase i had to edit was: private_messages_nav from: Code:
<a href="private.php?{3}">Private Messages</a>: {1}, {2}.
Code:
<a href="http://www.domain.com/private.php?{3}">Private Messages</a>: {1}, {2}.
and i changed all links that looked like: Code:
<a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editprofile"> Code:
<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editprofile"> Code:
$vboptions[bburl]/ you can also do random blocks and such. i'm not sure the cleanest way to do it... i've done it on our site, but it uses vbadvanced. basically, look in the gallery site admin under: Blocks -> Random/Popular and note the 'External Image Block' section. at some point in yer code, you need to call a php variable to get yer random block. since we cannot do this directly from templates, we have to do it in one of the .php files and then reference the variable which introduces a level of difficulty. for instance, as that page indicates, the code: Code:
<?php @readfile('http://www.cvreefers.org/gallery2.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_show=owner'); ?>
you can then get real jiggy w/ it by calling those links in yer postbit (or postbit_legacy in our case) to produce things like each users latest album or each users random pic. an example is here, note beneath the posters' avatar: http://www.cvreefers.org/showthread.php?t=2614 however, each time u look up a random pic, i get a delay on a p4 3.06 w/ 1 gig of ram. so if u have 10 users browsing 17 posts w/ 10 random pic genreators at once... well... u get the idea. actually read that thread if you want to see the outcome... so - i'm using a cron job and a hidden field to do the tricks on that page. i hesitate to mention those above tricks because i know the first thing that's going to be asked is 'how did you do this?' and it's pretty entailed. to get the user's gallery links beneath each user involves naming an album identicle to that user, creating two hidden user profile fields, and setting up a cron job. for the daily random block, another hidden user profile field, and another cron job. i really doubt that i'm doing it 'the right way' nor the most eloquant nor the most effecient way. heck, i'm establishing my own mysql connection on those cron jobs and i'm sure i could mooch off of vB's connection if i researched how, heh! so i just wanted to show that it can be done if that makes sence! i'm sure someone more advanced then i could make it generically fit any vB install.

I just signed up for your forum at cvreefers.org and can't see the add/edit/delete menu. I thought you fixed it with post #12. Did you perhaps overwrite your last mods? Thanks.

that all works fine now. i'd imagine it's cause you don't have permissions on any album to add things
i setup a test album w/ permissions for your account: http://www.cvreefers.org/v/CVR_membe...c/whodah_test/

Whodah,
Thanks for the update! I DO watch this thread to keep abreast of your progress and try to implement your changes/suggestions as soon as I get the chance. I've implemented the re-write module and have modified the links in VB so that the re-write doesn't screw them up, this all works as expected. I still have a nagging problem (and this is the only real reason I want re-write) where extra crap is tagged onto the end of the shorter URL's - after the jpg extension:- http://www.gmlsxs.org/d/4376-2/DSCN2...4cfff638c4e698 Now if I view the Gallery in stand-a-lone mode, the link looks like this:- http://www.gmlsxs.org//gallery2/d/4376-2/DSCN2202.JPG Both of these links will work if you click on them, the downside for me is that when used inside VB, I can't get the URL's to appear without the crap at the end. Of course, if you simply copy up to the JPG extension, this works - I just don't wanna explain how to do that to all our members over and over and over... LOL I looked at your Gallery implementation and noticed you have the same problem too. I also installed the module for displaying the URL's for BB Code and HTML from Gallery's site. I noticed you were involved in that and I've had a few issued with that also (didn't generate the shorter URL's, still added the crap at the end anyways) so I may or may not use that. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. BTW, thanks for sticking with this, it's an excellent integration! You can view my Gallery2 install using the following links (same Gallery install) http://www.gmlsxs.org/gallery2.php? <-- Integrated http://www.gmlsxs.org/gallery2/main.php <-- Stand-a-lone An Update: Whodah, stop the press! LOL The nice folk at Menalto's Gallery have clued me in on this problem, see the following (a simple fix!) http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php...wtopic&t=33488 Thanks bud!

Here ya go, this is the Clown fish from your Gallery within VB...
http://www.cvreefers.org/d/13045-3/a...36b0b4feb7e28e The same picture from your Gallery in stand-a-lone mode... http://www.cvreefers.org/./gallery2/d/13045-3/aeg.jpg It was a simple fix, in the Site Admin section under General, theres a Cookie section towards the bottom. You'll obviously enter "cvreefers.org" for the domain and try a "/" for the path, that worked for me. That should do it!

heya!
i'd imagine that we won't be moving to 3.5.x for quite a while. our site is extensively customized and it'll take a lot of work for me to upgrade it. it can't be much different - but i have not done it myself.

Ah. Well thanks for the info. I have tried playing with it with no luck. Just get a gallery wrapped with vbulletin headers and footers and no user integration. I will keep on eye on this thread in case you decide to upgrade.
