Integrating Gallery 2 with vB

[Joe 90]

I've been putting it off for some time now, but finally installed Gallery 2 to the Warriors vB forum.

Now, I'd love it if it were like the gallery here - integrated with user accounts and the theme.

How did you guys go about it?

This kind of thing:

A gallery2.php file which creates the users in gallery on the fly, and fetch the gallery user when there's a match. We dont do anything clever here but you could do easily. And a gallery2 template in vb to embed the gallery site itelf :)

It works well, but gallery is not a lean app. If the built in album/social groups functionality in VB wont give you what you want then this will, but it's a bit of a sledgehammer for modest requirements, too big for us really. Works though.

Create a new template in your style manager called gallery2 containing the following:
