I have a little fancy gallery script, that I would like to be part of my board (3.0 Gold). All I need is somehow include() the script in a custom vB page, that has the usual menu, and footer. I want the gallery to open up in vb, when i call forums/gallery.php. I can add the link in the navigation bar myself, but i've no ide how can I make the gallery look like part of vB (with navbar, footer, etc), just on a separate page.

Any ideas?

I haven't tested this, but it should in logic work, I have tried to make variables and things respective to your problem.

PHP Code:


			
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'gallery');



// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################

// get special phrase groups (add which ones you want)

$phrasegroups = array(



);



// get special data templates from the datastore (add what ones you want)

$specialtemplates = array(



);



// pre-cache templates used by all actions (add the templates you are using)

$globaltemplates = array(

    'GALLERYHOME',

        'gallery_table',

        'gallery_row'

);





// pre-cache templates used by specific actions

$actiontemplates = array();







// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

require_once('./global.php'); // always needed



// Plus any others you need





// #######################################################################

// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################

// #######################################################################







// Do your processing here

// Parse templates you need like this:

eval('$template_handle = "' . fetch_template('template_name') . '";');



// There must be a matching $template_handle in your 

// "base template", "GALLERYHOME" for these templates to show

// Construct GALLERYHOME using something like FORUMHOME as a guide,

// it will give you your basic vbulletin layout. There are some generic 

// plage layout templates, I *think* you could use these.





// Print out the page

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GALLERYHOME') . '");');

Here's a better description of what i need.
Forum address: www.site.com/forums/index.php
Image gallery main page address: www.site.com/forums/gallery/index.php
Needed address: www.site.com/forums/gallery.php

Previously, i've used invision, and there i could do this simply by adding the required entry in www.site.com/forums/index.php. For example, if my file was gallery.php, i would add the folowing:

"gal" => "gallery",

And then if I called www.site.com/forums/index.php?act=gal I'd see my gallery. Contents of the gallery.php would be as follows:

Code:

<?php
$idx = new gallery;

class gallery {

   var $output     = "";
   var $page_title = "";
   var $nav        = array();
   var $html       = "";
   var $base_url   = "";   
   function Articles()
   {
    global $ibforums, $DB, $std, $print;
    require('/home/site/public_html/forums/gallery/index.php');    
    $print->add_output('');
       $print->do_output( array( 'TITLE' => "Gallery", 'JS' => 0, NAV => array( "Gallery" ) ) );
 }
}
?>

That would do it in invision, no skin modification would even be required.

The quiestion is, how can i do this in vBulletin, still having it's design, footer and header?

You want to route the address ./forums/gallery/index.php to ./forums/gallery.php?

This could be done easily enough through your server's Cpanel url redirects.

As for integrating the gallery, just use the template above in Serge's post and place the object declaration ($idx = new gallery) below:

PHP Code:


			
require_once('./global.php');

You should place the class in a separate file.

You'll have to configure the vB PHP file to then contain:

PHP Code:


			
require_once('./class_gallery.php');



chdir('../');

require_once('./global.php');

Not sure if the above post would do exactly what he wants it to do. This is just a tried and tested way, it works and it works well (see PHP code in attachment, it works).

VB has been built in a way where its very easy to expand upon it and make use of functions while keeping performance at an optimum.

Just try this... put the following code in a PHP file called integrate.php, upload it to your forum directory and run it.

You will be presented with a custom page, using the vbulletin template. header, footer everything.

PHP Code:


			
<?php



// #######################################################################

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

// #######################################################################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'gallery');





// #######################################################################

// ######################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES #########################

// #######################################################################

$globaltemplates = array(

'GENERIC_SHELL',

'agallery',

'navbar'

);





$specialtemplates = array(

'smiliecache',

'bbcodecache'

);









// #######################################################################

// ######################### REQUIRE BACKEND #############################

// #######################################################################

require_once('./global.php');









// #######################################################################

// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################

// #######################################################################



$navbits = array();



$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);





// Do your processing here (thats the code to get the gallery images into a table 

// or whatever it does).



// BTW, the code to parse a template is:

// eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('agallery') . '";');



// $HTML is your main content area (the middle bit)









// ### ALL DONE! SPIT OUT THE HTML AND LET'S GET OUTA HERE... ###



eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GENERIC_SHELL') . '");');

?>

Very simple, very powerful, very effective.

Just try it.
