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['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;
}
}

{
echo '<HR>line: '.__LINE__.', G2 did not return a success status. Here is the error message from G2: <br />'.$ret->getAsHtml();
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 think your best off to move your exising installations as brent explained in THIS POST the problem Brent ran in to was that it expected files referenced by global.php to be located in places that they aren't...

HERE are the instruction to move your current installs

I use vbadvanced 2.1 on vbulletin 3.5.4 with gallery 2.1 and it all works great!

I must be having a super blonde moment because for some reason I just can't seem to catch on to this extremely simple newbie concept. are you saying you don't have your vb installed in your portal directory? don't you HAVE to have it in the portal directory? if that's the case where do you have your portal directory and how did you get around the whole forums having to be in the portal directory thing?

install your vbulleting into your webroot directory, install your portal into your webroot directory then install your gallery2 into /gallery2
so
vb = /
portal =/
and gallery2 = /gallery2

ok I'll give that a try. I re-read the vba install file, it doesn't say it has to be in the portal directory. I'm not sure why I thought it had to be in the portal directory other than I was thinking of vbportal. thanks for the quick response defcon, hopefully I won't have to bother you anymore.

p.s. cute nanner! LOL

I don't know what I"ve done but now my css isn't working for my portal. it's working fine in my forums page though. look here maybe you can tell me what I"ve over looked (again)

portal:
www.vampirecommunity.com/forums/index.php

forums:
www.vampirecommunity.com/forums/forum.php

I renamed my forums to forum.php and put my portal in my forums directory and named it index.php still no go with my style

i dont know anything about VBadvanced... so here is my .02

it can work with your current structure... but you need to have the gallery.php file in your forums root(as far as i know, not the protal root). then the paths must be entered from that point... so if i am reading it correctly... it shoudl look like this:

PHP Code:
$ret = GalleryEmbed::init(array('embedUri' => 'gallery2.php',
        'g2Uri' => '/gallery2/',
        'loginRedirect' => 'index.php',
        'activeUserId' => $uid)); 
as long as it is in the forum directory, i think this will work for you... but you might also need to change the path for the global.php(mine is ./global.php since it is in the forum root).

I guess I'll get back to that as soon as I figure out why I lost my css style

gosh darn it! now I can't log in either

just moved my cmps_index.php (renamed to index.php) to root and it's still a no go with the style.

I finally got my design back for the most part. I had to do a complete uninstall and then reinstall. I'm not sure why but it fixed it for the most part. there's a couple of tweaks I still have to redo but nothing major. now I can play with the gallery part.

oh and thanks for your help

I'm still getting this error on my gallery
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 166 (gallerystatus::error)
in modules/core/classes/GalleryEmbed.class at line 300 (galleryuser::create)
in /home/vampirec/public_html/forums/gallery2.php at line 95 (galleryembed::createuser)
in /home/vampirec/public_html/forums/gallery2.php at line 50

I'm going to try the way around this like earlier posted but I have one question.

I have more members than just myself...so when I make another ID do just make a new user period or does it matter what ID I give that user?

your error is cause you are trying to log into Gallery with the vbb admin account(aka acount #1), there is already a 1 created in gallery. that is the reason you are getting that error. or atleast in my experances if you jump into the gallery with another user account(created by VIA the script or not) it should work.

if you are using the plugin approach:
i belive the way it will work is that when a new user is created(VIA VBB), the plugin will be trigered and create an account in the gallery system... same idea when you delete a user account. but i am not using this method as of yet

if you are soley using the integration script:
when you hit the script for the 1st time(assumeing you have met all the pre req's) it will create your user account. once that is done the rest of the configuration is all done VIA gallery. if you delete a user out of VBB, you will have to delete the user manualy out of Gallery.

does that all make sence to you?
