Failed upgrade from 1.1 to 2.1 (blank page)

EricR · December 9th, 2006, 10:35 PM

Upgraded VBulletin from 3.5.3 to 3.6.4. No issues.

Upgraded from VBAdvanced 2.1.0 to 2.2.1. No issues

Upgraded VBGallery from 1.1 to 2.1, gallery is now a blank page

I followed the instructions in the readme file. I modified gallery_config.php using the correct path (double checked and reverified). I uploaded the files, ran vbgallery_install.php, selected the Upgrade option, and everything seemed to go well. I got the News notice in my admincp regarding the init.php mod. Modifited init.php as specified and went to visit the gallery only to be met with a blank page

I ran vbgallery_install.php again and tried reinstalling the templates, no change.

Suggestions?

And moments later, I find the problem. Apparantly it doesn't like the site-wide VBa integration (via global.php). Ugh, I really didn't want to have to edit each page individually for VBa integration. Has anyone else encountered this?

I came up with a workaround for this, which simply excludes the integration from the problem gallery pages.

Change the global.php edit from:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

to:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I'll add more pages to the list as they're discovered. If someone has a more elegant way around this please let me know.

I found I didn't care for the total VBadvanced integration anyway, for example it really clutters the UserCP since that has its own sidebar. I changed my if statement above to include only the pages I DO want integrated as opposed to the pages I DON'T want as it is originally setup. Just change the "and"s to "or"s and it'll look something like this:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Works like a champ, this is exactly how I had it setup before except this way only one file needs edited (global.php). So everything is working great now

This should work too.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.
