PixelFx, can't wait. Friday or Saturday?

I can't wait either :) Hopefully it might work with my vBulletin 2.3, vBHome 4.2 and Photopost 4.0 combo :)

PixelFx-

Actually, you can choose a specific category, instead of excluding all but one category. This is good for my site, where all I want is one category to be displayed

Vbhome 4.2 / Photopost 4.0 / vb 2.3.0 work well together... I just did a clean install and everything seems to be working well.

I just have to make install script, with some easter eggs ;)

Demo: updated
http://www.pixelfx.ca/index.php

Here is what I did to suit my needs running 2.2.9, Photopost 4.0 and vBPortal:

On the vBportal homepage, I simply added a center block, selected php script as the type and then added the following line:
include("http://www.allthingsmoto.com/photopost/thumbincluder.php");


I decided to add the thumbnails to the forumdisplay template in lieu of an already busy forum home page, so I added the following to forumdisplay.php:

// +--------------------------------------------------------------
// | Photopost to vbhome Link
// +--------------------------------------------------------------
$templatesused.= 'home_gallery';
eval( '$gallery = "' . gettemplate( 'home_gallery' ) . '";' );


This is identical to what Pixels instructions said to add to the index.php of forumhome.

I created a custom home_gallery template, added the postthumbnail line in the phpinclude template and then called the $posthumbnail from the home_gallery template. Works like a charm!

If you want to see yet another example of these modifications, you can visit www.allthingsmoto.com for the vBportal integration and http://www.allthingsmoto.com/forums/...hp?forumid=114 to see the thumbnails on my forumdisplay.

Photopost and VB are an awesome pair indeed!

yup :) I just updated the install doc I'm working on to include vb 2.3.0 and photopost 4.0.1 :) should be up soon.

:)

PixelFX - great hack!

How easy would this be to implement with say myvbindex which is another cool homepage hack by Tigga on vb.org.

I'm also running photopost 4.

Thx.

HACK UPDATED IN FIRST POST, v1.5 posted, works with vbulletin 2.30, photopost 401, and vbhome 4.2.

Things to do,

Working on Txt File Install, for the above, txt file install for vbindex, vbportal, support.

:)

Hi PixelFX - I tried this for myvbindex under advisement and everything went according to plan apart from when you actually view the homepage it shows 'QUERY FAILED'. I believe this is due to the relative path being incorrect for the images and data directory.

I'm on a windows system and tried various paths. My apache install is c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs (htdocs is the web root). Any ideas on what this should be?

Thx.

I've tested this on linux box. But not on windows. Possible sugguestion would be to try

your relitive path as

"c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\forum"

or how ever it's setup on your system.

do you have phpmyadmin setup on your system? I've been debating on setting up an apache test site on my local host as well. If I do then I'll update the txt file for windows as well. If anyone has a windows local box setup, can ya please post here as well.

not sure if that helps but I'll message around with it on my xp system and see what i come up with :P
