I've noticed that vBGallery 2.1 requires a file edit to init.php
This seems to be rather bad, as this edit mus be applied every time a vBulletin update is performed.
Furthermore, as far as I can see from the code, it is used to load phrasegroups and datastore items for gallery stuff on forumhome and member profile.
But the call is always executed - in all other frontend scripts, archive, mcp and acp.
Therefore it might be better to execute it conditionally.
One further step would be to move the code to config.php, as this file normally does not get touched upon upgrades.
IMHO, the best way would be a plugin on init_startup:
Code:
