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:

?>
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:

Glad to see you got it working. So your solution entails running Gallery in embedded mode which basically allows Gallery to utilize the Vbulletin log in system?
Do you have a link to your site for people to see what the results are?

hello Reeve of shinra!
yup, that's the solution! G2 was written w/ integration in mind from day one from what i understand. whether it's postnuke, vBulletin, or your own user table you custom coded. here's a link to how it looks. this site isn't live yet (the live site is just the root domain running postnuke). i hope to have the site migrated and live on VB this week! just a couple things i need to do still... (banner integration for our sponsors being the sole thing from making it live i think... i've yet to search, but betting there's a solution on these forums, heh!) i'll probably edit the G2 css to match the VB3 css. i havn't done it yet because i'm not sure what style/colors we'll use in VB3 yet, so why edit G2's twice? at first i disabled G2's css and of course then VB3's kicks in and G2 matches perfectly. but you loose functionality in G2 if you do that (slideshow and such). so, w/ the help over at menalto - G2's css is in place as well. and here's the link! this link will be broken eventually as the site goes live, but then it'll just be the root domain. http://www.cvreefers.org/VB/gallery2.php

Awesome work dude. Glad to see someone finally took on this task of integrating the Best Gallery on the planet with the Best Forums System on the Planet.
Thanks a lot!!!

currently fighting a couple of things... didn't notice them right off the bat until it had been running a while...
a) mod_rewrite - i can enable mod_rewrite and it works for the gallery2 installation, but not the embedded installation. i've done preliminary research on it and see that some embeded mod_rewrite issues were resolved w/ the latest CVS which i'm not runnin... b) the menu to the left to add/edit/delete items is not appearing for all users... again - i've yet to dig too deep into this. remember that G2 is still beta!

And yes to the issues stated above. I was going to post those. But so far the installation works as far as integration where users are concerned It' be cool if the theme would be inherited as well.
