Yes, I know that there were some posts about that, but I want to sum what I've read and ask some questions/suggest few ideas.

Well, as a sum of what I've read, there are people who use both systems (CB/RSG2), but most of them have difficulties with the integration.

Someone built a plugin (here: extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,1359/Itemid,35/)

Well,
for my questions:
a. I have installed the plugin which was automatically published, and then I have published it in the Tab Manager, with the following parameters: "Display: tab", "Position: underall" or "Position: tabmain".
Both ways did nothing: I played with it a bit, but nothing happened... but the Simpleboard Forumplugin uses the same parameters and I CAN see it...
What can it be? Where to check?

b. A worse problem: mod_cblogin works just fine most of the time, but whenever I enter the RSG2 component, the mentioned module goes crazy: this message appears instead of the "Hi, Eddie":

<b>Notice</b>: Use of undefined constant _UE_SHOW_POFILE_OF - assumed '_UE_SHOW_POFILE_OF' in <b>/home/spanish4/public_html/modules/mod_cblogin.php</b> on line <b>415</b>

This is quite bad... for now, I can tell Joomla to hide that module while using the component: but I hope to find a better way to handle that...

This problem occurs only when one is registered and logged.

And for my suggestion:
Why not to open a forum to this 3rd party component? It's one of the most popular galleries for Joomla today.

I am willing to help in any technical issue concerning to that, if needed.

Thanks ahead,
Peleg.

Awesome!!! Thank you so much!!

Non opinions about that? It really IS the future gallery for Joomla!

Anyone?

The plugin for CB I am using works well. The only issue is is i lose the inherited background color and so my SITE background comes through distorting my layout.

Can anyone help me? The code is below from the php file.

<?php
/**
* Tab to display the link to the RSGallery2 edit page in Community Builder
* Author: Dave Ludwigsen (palamangelus) dave@daveludwigsen.com
*/

class getrsgallery2Tab extends cbTabHandler
{
function getrsgallery2Tab()
{
$this->cbTabHandler();
}

function getDisplayTab($tab,$user,$ui)
{
global $database, $mosConfig_live_site, $mosConfig_absolute_path, $mosConfig_lang;

//$params = $this->params;
//$eventLimit = $params->get('rsgallery2Link','');

//$query = "SELECT id FROM #__uhp WHERE user_id='".$user->id."'";
//$database->setQuery($query);
//$uhpid = $database->loadResult();

$return=$this->ShowUserGalleries($user);

return $return;
}

function ShowUserGalleries($user)
{
global $my, $database, $mosConfig_live_site, $Itemid;

$htmlText = "";

$htmlText .= "<div class=\"sectiontableheader\" style=\"text-align:left;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;margin:0px 0px 10px 0px;height:auto;width:100%;\">";

//if this user, show edit galleries link
if ($my->id == $user->id)
{
$htmlText.="<div align=left><a href=\"".$mosConfig_live_site."/index.php?option=com_rsgallery2&Itemid=".$Itemid."&page=my_galleries\">Edit Gallery Items</a></div><br>";
}
else
{
$htmlText.="<div align=left>Gallery Items</div><br>";
}


//Prepare query for gallery list

//$htmlText .= "<div class=\"sectiontableheader\" style=\"text-align:left;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;margin:0px 0px 10px 0px;height:auto;width:100%;\">";
//$htmlText .= "Galleries<br>";

$database->setQuery("SELECT * FROM #__rsgallery2_galleries WHERE published=1 AND uid=".$user->id." ORDER BY ordering ASC");
//$htmlText.="SELECT * FROM #__rsgallery2_galleries WHERE published=1 AND parent=0 AND uid=".$my->id." ORDER BY ordering ASC";
//Loop through the galleries
$galleries=$database->loadObjectList();

$i = 2;

foreach ($galleries as $gallery)
{
$i = ($i==1) ? 2 : 1;
$htmlText.= "<div class=\"sectiontableentry$i\">";
$htmlText.="<a href=\"index.php?option=com_rsgallery2&Itemid=".$Itemid."&catid=".$gallery->id."\">";

//get the first image for the gallery
//images/rsgallery/thumb/
$database->setQuery("SELECT * FROM #__rsgallery2_files WHERE gallery_id=".$gallery->id." LIMIT 1");
//$htmlText.="SELECT * FROM #__rsgallery2_files WHERE gallery_id=".$gallery->id." LIMIT 1";
$thumbnails=$database->loadObjectList();

//leave room in case we later want to expand for more thumbnails.
foreach ($thumbnails as $thumbnail)
{
if ($thumbnail->name == "")
break;
else
{
$htmlText.="<img src=\"images/rsgallery/thumb/".$thumbnail->name.".jpg\" border=0 alt=\"".$thumbnail->descr."\" valign=absmiddle> ";
break;
}
}

$htmlText.=$gallery->name;
$htmlText.="</a><br />";
}
$htmlText.="</div></div></div>";
return $htmlText;
}

}
?>

This ONLY happens with the RSG2 plugin published. Otherwise the plugin shows each members galleries nicely.

I found this non modified plugin that works great so far and does NOT distort my layout design.

It all seems to have installed correctly. Only no photos are showing, only the 'edit my galleres' link.
