Menalto's G2 integration into VB3
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:
<?php // ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ########################### error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); // #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS ####################### define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'gallery2'); // 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( 'galley2', ); // pre-cache templates used by specific actions $actiontemplates = array( ); // ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################ require_once('./global.php'); // ####################################################################### // ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################ // ####################################################################### $navbits = array(); $navbits[$parent] = 'Gallery G2'; $navbits = construct_navbits($navbits); eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') .

$ret = GalleryEmbed::init(array('embedUri' => 'gallery2.php', '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:

The only issues I have are with the mod_rewrite functionality as it slows the Gallery down considerably and has a few strange behaviour tendancies that I am fighting to overcome. But the mod_rewrite is just fluff really, the rest is pretty simple and straightforward. |

The integration of the Menalto´s G2 includes the style or theme?
If the answers is not, how could i make it? Thanks. |

Could this work across hosts?
I have my main vB site on one host and my Gallery running on another. Would it work with the right changes to the paths? |

well.. i haev made it this far
i have gallery installed(damn nice installer IMO ). i can log into gallery in "stand alone" mode. but when i goto the gallery.php file i get an error: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: iserror() in <location of files>/httpdocs/forum/gallery.php on line 74" i just cant grasp where iserror() shoudl have been defined or anything... anybody got anythign on this? my gallery is located at racersden.net/gallery, and the forum is at racersden.net/forum... the php file is in the forum directory... |
#98

|
|||
just thought about this... is it REQUIRED to have the gallery in a sub folder of the forum directory?
and also, the index file in the gallery directory, could i just have that file have a meta refresh to the VBB embed page or is that index file required? |

All this stuff is way too techie for me. I have one of my admins who does all the really techie stuff for me on my forum. But unfortunately we haven't been able to find a way for him to get access to this site.
We're running 3.5.3 and have been looking into setting up the Menalto Gallery on our forum The Moot and all these code posts have my head spinning. Have any of the posts in this thread been found to work with 3.5.3? If so, could someone post a link to the relevant post so I can pass on the details to my admin friend? Thanks folks. Mike |

I only seem to get that error when the vBulletin admin views the gallery2 pages. Can anyone suggest a workaround so that the vBulletin admin can also view the gallery2 pages and not have to login via the 'backend'?
Any help would be much appreciated! Quote:
