Phototopost features block on forumhome

[Delphiprogrammi]

hi people,

I see people who are heavenly modifying there boards to get this done.This is actually not needed.Photopost includes a files that does this automatically

1)install the plugin
2)tempate modification

template FORUMHOME find this code


<!-- /main -->
<br />
<br />


replace with


<!-- /main -->

<br />
$photopostfeature
<br />


remember to modify the path to inc_features.php(this is a PhotoPost file) if your photopost installation is different from mine

that's all

enjoy
all done no more modifications to the original vb files needed

possible problems
Question:After installation i get an error message like


Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /photopost/inc_features.php on line xx

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /photopost/inc_features.php on line xx


Answer:This Could be because you did not set a value for the $ppdbprefix (database table prefix) Photopost uses.Open your config-int.php and set the correct value for the $ppdbprefix variable

You can also set this in your Photopost Administration panel under "edit integration" (PhotoPost Database Table Prefixes) field

question i don't know what my path should be can you help me ?


<?php
phpinfo(INFO_VARIABLES);
?>


and look at the value of $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']; this is the serverpath to the file you are currently vieuwing within your webbrowser when you are done remove this file from your server (security )

coooooool ^_^

Install

[Snake]

Nice work.

Thanks!

[lazyseller]

Awesome!!!! no more file edits for this mod!!!!!

[shadow smith]

Awesome. Thanks!

I'm new and it was easy to install.

Thanks!

[steadicamop]

Been looking for this for ages - but doesn't work, get this error right at the top of the page:

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /photopost/inc_features.php on line 54

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /photopost/inc_features.php on line 119

Tried changing the path so it didn't have the "." but makes no difference. Any ideas?

Cheers

[shadow smith]

I put in the full server path to my photopost directory:

/www/whatever/photopost/inc_features.php

I also had to uncomment out a couple lines in inc_features.php and insert the username/pw/database information as I use a different database to hold my photos.

Thanks, no good though, still a no go, even when I add the DB details in, and change it to the full path - it would appear more a MySQL error than anything else.

Just not too up on MySQL yet ;)

spot on thanks for that :)..

[steadicamop]

Any chance of some support on this please?

[Delphiprogrammi]

Any chance of some support on this please?

make sure you correctly edited inc_features.php and doublecheck the path to that file for example if you have it installed in a directory within the vbulletin directory "/forums/photopost" the path would be


include('./photopost/inc_features.php');


if you have called the directory which hold Photopost gallery it would be


include('./gallery/inc_features.php');

[steadicamop]

Yep that is correct, I left it with the default - photopost, from the forum root.

It would appear to find the file correctly, but have issues with MySQL queries within that file - apparently I would be the only person with this problem!

Thanks for your help.


After a quick search for the exact same MySQL error, I found out where I was going wrong - my Photopost database is alongside the VBB one - and in the config.int.php file, the prefix wasn't set, which I set to "pp_" and now it's fine, just must be me, sorry for the hassle!

[Roms]

^ I changed mine to the full path and it works great! Thanks

include('/home/yoursite/public_html/photopost/inc_features.php');

do not include your public_html directory there it should be


include('./gallery/inc_features.php');

[phill2003]

Yes if your going to use the ./ directory pointer then take out the public html bit otherwise take out the ./ and replace it with the full path (not url) to the folder you want..


include('./gallery/inc_features.php');


or if that does not work



include('/path/to/your/file/gallery/inc_features.php');

you need to be carefull when editing PHP most likely you forgot a ( or ) ' or ' or ; somewhere

[phill2003]

or you could have put a spare " when you put your username password and database name into inc_features

[rareclownfish]

Ok guy's maybe I'm not doing this right.
Am I supposed to mod the inc_features.php within photopost if so where in the file do I need to mod? or mod the Plugin PHP Code?
I have been moding the Plugin PHP Code this whole time. I still get the errors.

[rareclownfish]

This is what's in my inc_features file

//$link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "userid", "password")

Should I take out the "" after I add the reall username and password?

[Zachariah]

This is what's in my inc_features file

//$link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "userid", "password")

Hello,

Do your have Photopost Pro installed and integrated into vBulletin ?
- If YES contenue reading :).

Are you VB database and Pro database the same ?
- If NO contenue reading :).


Here we go ! :bunny:
- Unhash these @ the top of the file
- Fill in the photopost DB info

// If you use the same userid/password to access both databases, you don't need to
// uncomment the mysql_connect - this is only if you require different ids to access
// the PhotoPost database.
//$link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "$dbuserid", "$dbuserpassword") or die('I cannot connect to the database.');
//mysql_select_db ("pp_database")or die("Could not select photopost database");

@ very botem of the file
// If you use PhotoPost in a seperate database from vB, you'll need to reselect the vB database!
//mysql_select_db ("vb_database");

[rareclownfish]

Hello,

Do your have Photopost Pro installed and integrated into vBulletin ? YES I do.
- If YES contenue reading .

Are you VB database and Pro database the same ? Yes they are the same.
- If NO contenue reading .

[Zachariah]

Are you VB database and Pro database the same ?
Yes they are the same.


ADMINCP => Plugin System => Plugin Manager => Photopost Feature Block
- Hook location: forumhome_complete

Default install:
include('./photopost/inc_features.php');

This needs your PATH to your Pro install folder.
If you do not know it off the top of your head you can look it up in the /photopost/config-inc.php file.

EX:
// Path to your PhotoPost installation - no end slashes
$PP_PATH = "/www/pp/pro";

This is the value that is Replace in the plugin.
include('/www/pp/pro/inc_features.php');

**** Problems ***************** Answers ***************

Why do I get a header of the box and not images ?

- photopost/config-int.php

// If your PhotoPost tables have a prefix, put it here
// Example:
// pp_ = "pp_";
$pp_db_prefix = "pp_";

Default prefix.

Why do my images show up but only as black spots ?

Edit: photopost/config-int.php
- add the " / " slash @ the end of:

$data_dir = "http://www.website.com/photopost/data/";

In Red


If you still have problems yell ;)

[rareclownfish]

Well I don't even get a header on the portal it shows up on the forums homepage.
Do I need to make my own box, or this code should have done eveything for me?

[rareclownfish]

I have this code with in my cinfig-int.php file. $pp_db_prefix = "pp_";
Should I be adding or changing somthing?

Thanks works great, now only to get it on the portal page :)

[phill2003]

The variable should work on the portal page at least it did on mine (vba) without anymore messing about..

[phill2003]

I put this $photopostfeature in the adv_portal template

between

$header


$navbar


like this.

$header
$photopostfeature

$navbar


and it worked a treat, go and look at where it is on my site...

[rareclownfish]

I'm not using VBA, i'm using VBportal

[phill2003]

Well i know they use photopost so it may be worth your while to ask there how to do it on the portal..

[rareclownfish]

Thanks got it to work

[The Realist]

I cant get it to work, keeps saying cant connect to photopost database?

[Delphiprogrammi]

I cant get it to work, keeps saying cant connect to photopost database?


did you field in the variables ......config.inc.php if you use seperted databases you need to loo at inc_features to

[The Realist]

Both Photopost and VB are using the same database.



did you field in the variables ......config.inc.php if you use seperted databases you need to loo at inc_features to

[The Realist]

Ok, finally got it to work.

My problem was the inc_features.php file that I needed to edit as follows:


//$link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "$dbuserid", "$dbuserpassword") or die('I cannot connect to the database.');
mysql_select_db ("XXXXXXXXXXXX")or die("Could not select photopost database");


You need to uncomment (remove the // before the above line) and you need to be replaced the above red X's with your database name.

Worked for me.

What if I have it installed like this:

Root
-vBulletin
-photopost

Where Photopost is not installed within my vBulletin Dir.

http://www.njflyfishing.com/vBulletin/index.php?

That's my path. Scroll to the very bottom.

For some reason, the addr is coming up like this:
http://www.njflyfishing.com/vBulletin/www.njflyfishing.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=506

Other than this path problem, It looks ok... I just don't see any photo's.

your path is not correct with a setup like that you need to set the path to for example


/var/www/njflyfishing.com/public_html/photopost


don't know if that's one correct just an example.But you are better of to install Photopost inside vbulletins directory why ? otherwise ones the path is correct you might be affected by the "openbase_dir" restriction (this is a PHP security feature) so you need to set the path to your www root and then include a /photopost at the end

[CAMS]

anyway to get rid of the rounded thumbnail borders on the images? and have no border atall?

[phill2003]

If you look for this if ( $height > $width )
$mthumb = "<img src=\"{$url_path}/images/overlay-roundp.gif\" height=\"105\" width=\"81\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" />";
else
$mthumb = "<img src=\"{$url_path}/images/overlay-round.gif\" height=\"81\" width=\"105\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" />";

In inc-features and change the overlay round to whatever you want that should do it, or leave it blank if you dont want one..

[CAMS]

sorted it bud , cheers

yes that path is not correct it is impossible a path like that works you need to set the "FULL" path if you don't know what this value should be look at the

phpinfo();


output

it should tell you

[TunerNetwork]

K, where do i change the path at? the plugin itself or a file already on the server? If you can just get a lil specific, sorry, i havent messed with the gallery too much yet

[whitetigergrowl]

Change the path in the plug-in itself. If the path is correct and you still get that error, put another period in front of the slash. Works like a charm. Thanks!

[TunerNetwork]

still gettin an error

a path is not a url ...... you must supply the serverpath not the url

open the plugin XML and change the path to the value it should have for your setup

[Delphiprogrammi]

hi people,

Since so manny people have trouble setting there path ....here's what you can do about it.In your favorite editor create a new PHP source file with this code


phpinfo(INFO_VARIABLES);


and look at the values of


$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT];
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];
$_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'] //complete serverpath to current file


change the path to the value it says you stimm may need to adjust it a little

I know this will display latest or most viewed, but I'm using it with Photopost Pro Classifieds and was wondering could I use it twice and say call the latest ads in one block and the latest trade ads in another block ?

As you can see here I'm just including the latest ads - Clicky (http://www.driver.ie/forum)

[phill2003]

In short----Yes.

you will need to change a couple of function names but once you do that yes it will work a treat.

[roni1015]

Does anyone know if this will work in 3.6?

[roni1015]

Never mind, it does work in 3.6. Well, sort of. It's not *technically* showing a picture though, it's showing everything except instead of an image, it's showing a black box where the thumbnail should be...any idea why??

[roni1015]

Please? Any suggestions why it would only show black images instead of the actual photos?

[cellarius]

I have the same problem: Only showing black images. Anybody out there?
vB 3.6.2, PP 5.5.

[cellarius]

O.K., figured it out. For everybody having the same problem: Go to your PP Admin-Center -> Administration -> Edit Integration -> URL to your PhotoPost DATA directory -> add trailing slash at the end ("data/").

This worked for me.

[roni1015]

WOOT! You rock!! THANKS!!!

[cellarius]

You're welcome :cool:

[m3site]

[stupidstu]

Anyone get this plugin worked with 3.6.4 ?

[popmyzit]

**** Problems ***************** Answers ***************

Why do I get a header of the box and not images ?

- photopost/config-int.php

// If your PhotoPost tables have a prefix, put it here
// Example:
// pp_ = "pp_";
$pp_db_prefix = "pp_";

Default prefix.

Why do my images show up but only as black spots ?

Edit: photopost/config-int.php
- add the " / " slash @ the end of:

$data_dir = "http://www.website.com/photopost/data/";

In Red


If you still have problems yell ;)



Did both and I still have header with no images.... please help!

Are your photos all in the members albums? If they are then that is your problem this hack is designed by default not to take photos from members albums (cat 500).

Not really feel free to recode the hack to your liking though...

I have this way set up on mine, you can get round this, not sure if there's any side-effects but it seems to work fine on mine.

In the Photopost directory, edit the inc_features.php file and search for "500" (it should appear 3 times in total, around half way down the page) I changed these to "0" and refreshed and they appeared with no problems - I intend on leaving mine set up this way.

Anyone get this plugin worked with 3.6.4 ?

I'm stuck..

3.6.4
added the xml..
edited the path...
Plugin PHP Code
include('/home/webuser/photoshop/inc_features.php');
include('/home/webuser/photoshop/inc_photopost.php');

added

$photopostfeature
$navbar

But I still don't even get a blank feature box..
right now it just shows two navbars.. (second added just to be sure I was in the right template.

Photopost works if I go there, but I'm not having luck getting it up on 3.6.4
?? Any idea to what I may have missed. ??


EDIT

OK.. forgive me...
but..

[magnaromagna]

[phill2003]

hallo,

Go into the photopost admin settings and on the data directory path add a / to the server path.

[VViper]

Hi there, nice mod once again thanks for sharing.
Mine is appearing below the forum and not on top although i edited the style.

any thoughts?
I replaced it with this code, is that current for the latest build of VB?

<!-- /main -->

<br />
$photopostfeature
<br />

[VViper]

All sorted, for some reason there was two <!-- /main --> in the style templates.

hope this helps some other dislexic person like myself :)

[VViper]

Does this work with the latest version of VB3.6.7, i just updated and it stopped working. :(

Just confirming that it does and i need sleep.

I didnt edit the style and FORUMHOME template.

[wrang]

Yes it works for me with 3.6.7

[morrow]

Works for me on 3.6.7

[dt-pain]

no matter what i do. I just get the header bar with no pictures. Ive tried every thing here with no luck. Please help.. Thanks

[stuartn]

Okay, hopefully a easy answer to this one, installed it fine. However, if you wanted it to show on all pages and not just the forumhome. How would you do this ?

[stuartn]

No takers :(

[just77me]

Dows this work on 3.7 too??? and is a photopost connection in the profil available for 6.x not 2.4.x thank you.

[JustJon]

I upgraded to vB 3.7 and it worked fine. I just upgraded photopost to 6.1 and now I get black thumbnails on my forum home. I read above and there is a / at the end of my data directory, so that's not it.

What can I do to fix this? Thanks.

[WATW]

Not sure what the fix is, but I've got pp6.1 and vb371 with photopostfeature running ok on one site where the db is shared, but getting black images on another site where there's one db for vb and one for pp.

[WATW]

just checked and the / wasn't in place in the $data_dir line in config-int.php, so I've added it and now eveything works OK

[shadowdancer36]

Does this lil hack work for 3.7?

[Mudcrutch]

Working on 3.7.2 for me.

[joseduddy]

I have this photo post feature on my forum index. It use to change the picture after every refresh of the page with random pictures from members gallery. After all my upgrades it no longer changes. Can some one tell me which file to edit to have it randomly select pictures. I remember I had to change a line of code. Thanks in advance

[jasbeanie]
