i cant see what you've done ??

i have integrated photopost with VBindex - www.skylinesaustralia.com

[PixelFx]

I don't use vbindex, it's a great script but I've been using in the past vbhome, and now vbadvanced, I used my vb2 vbhome/forum home script and updated it to work with vb3 I just have to clean up a few bugs in the code then post it. I want to add phrases as well.

[PranK]

oh ok cool - with phrase too? hmm.. i might try to get yours to work with VBindex (if thats ok?) as mines kinda sloppy. :)

Just what I need, another reason for me to get PhotoPost.

[FastAttack]

I am trying to run this on my website unsucessfully with my crummy coding.. let us know when your releasing your copy :)

[MPDev]

Nice work, Robert! When I find some time, I'll have to look at adding some of these to PhotoPostDev.

[PixelFx]

:) I'm hoping to get this up soon, wondering if I should move it into hacking discussion till I get it fully up. I've got it working but adding custom page support as well, Please bare with me, I've very new to vb3 :P I've got a few small bugs but overwall it's working well.

[Cyricx]

Small suggestion...

Add the $navbar to the top.

It'll help navigate the site easier :)

Cyricx

[PixelFx]

I've added a link for the navbar, hope to get this out asap :)

[mitomcua]

Thanks PixelFX

[alkatraz]

Thank you for upgrading your hack!!

[romanticyao]

nice nice ! i m using it!:ninja:

[FastAttack]

any updates? :)

[stan68]

yes would love to see this out look like a great mod

[PixelFx]

sorry for delays, I've been very sick this week, i'm going to update and test this on vb3 RC4 then post it. I need to check a few minor issues with photopost 4.6.6 but if all goes well then I'll post the hack, sorry for the delay, so far it's pretty stable on my vb3 RC3 site. I just have to test it with the upgrade.

All support for this hack will be in this thread, and I will try to give timely updates as my offline life permits :)

Is that possible to make the Ramdom block Scrolls ? that would be awesome ...

Thanks for your update,
M

[PixelFx]

anything possible once I have a life again :P and get this updated hack out :) I've got it working well on my site, however I have finished the phrases yet .. getting there though :)

Working DEMO: http://www.orbsydia.com/index.php

Till I can get this code cleaned up... I still get a few small errors, but over all it worked really well so far.

[mitomcua]

PixelFX,

Just wonder how is the progress ? Any expectation date to release this ?

Thanks,
M

[PixelFx]

I've updated the first post a bit, I hope to have more updates soon, as well as vb3 download, I found a few bugs I need to work out.

Sorry with V-day and being super swamped with work the last week and next two days I haven't had a chance to post the code. Once my wife is happy ;) and I get an hour to breath I'll get this out :)

[FastAttack]

Dunno what the update was.. But I made a very simple one already. www.srtforums.com

I got to fix it up a little bit but I think it does the job for the current time until PixelFX releases the code for 3.0 :D

[PixelFx]

I'm working on update, photopost released 4.6.7 and I'm doing a clean install of my script with that and vb3 RC4, I'll be making a new hack for the hack above using those notes, with my old notes... to keep the hack uptodate.

I've got 7 hours to work on my site today so hoping I'll be able to get to this hack at some point ;)

You said that This hack makes it possible for you to send random, most popular or most recent images. On your site home page, or forum home.

I'm already using the PhotoPostPal script for the photos on my vB forum home page (http://cavycages.com/forum/index.php), but I also want to display similar random photos on my site home page (html). Will your script do this?

Thanks much,
Teresa

[PixelFx]

As far as I know yes, I'm currently working on an upgrade for this script now, that i've revamped my site.

[attroll]

Doesn't this do the same thing as the mod on the photopost site does and that has been around for a long time? It is called "Thumbincluder11". I have had this on my site since VB2 and I am now running RC4 and have not had to change a thing. I can pick the ammount of images it displays and more.

Here are some links for this mod.

It uses a similar system, this is an upgrade from my vb2 hack, that uses a modded version of the Thumbincluder11 done by midnightz and my self, with custom vb3 code, different than whats on photoposts site.

the photopost mod that is out is also different, which was released recently, if you check the attachment at the first page of this hack, I've posted links for my vb2 mod which only needs a few changes to make it run with vb3, I've been working slowly on an update, with a system to make it possible to stream news, exclusive gallerys, or indevidual galleries, each with there own news and pages etc.. which is why this newer hack is taking me a bit longer ... than I though..

I'll prob have to release it in two parts ...
