This question is still up.

@bitg and @lonelime: vB ACP -> PhotoPlog -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit Usergroup -> Go -> PhotoPlog Permissions

@Psionic Vision: try PhotoPlog Lite v.1.0.8.

FYI: PhotoPlog Lite v.1.0.8 released. Animated GIFs show if file dimensions within settings, postbit counts with link possible when viewing thread, couple of small bug fixes. See the README.txt file for instructions.

OK, I uploaded to the newest version and it works just fine now. Except for several things. But 1st I want to say that overall, you have done a great job on this and I love this addition to vbb. Thank you.

1. When looking at the navigation, there is the link that says "The Hiding Place Forums > PhotoPlog". Well, the "PhotoPlog" part links perfectly, but "The Hiding Place" link should link to the forum main page, but it links to the PhotoPlog main page. See http://www.hidingplace.com/photoplog/index.php for an example.
2. This may be related to #1. Although, I have my "Relative Links" and "Absolute Links" pointing at my vbb forum (See https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=902981&postcount=775), all my navbar links all point to the photplog directory.
3. When you are in the photoplog area, the vbb drop-down menus do not work (eg. The "Quick" menu or the "Search" box). Possible dhtml problem?
4. What is the point in having the "PhotoPlog Settings" area in the "vBulletin Options" if we already have that under the "PhotoPlog" menu.
5. Why is there a menu option under the "PhotoPlog" menu for "Change Phrases" if it does not link directly to the photoplog phrases (seems redundant)?
6. Why is there a menu option under the "PhotoPlog" menu for "Usergroup Manager" (seems redundant)?

Ideas?

Just installed this. Very nice man. Hell of a job and many thanks. Install clicked.

@bitg: What you had posted looks fine, but you need to add to it, so for 1,2,3 just look at your HTML source for things not in the settings. Example: href="index.php and src="/vbb350/styles/ and var IMGDIR_MISC = "/vbb350/styles/ etcetera. The settings enable you to add/edit things to fit with your site. While I tried to list all the standard links, there is no way I can account for all custom skins, directory structures, and so forth, so that's up to you. For 4,5,6 it's easier for some people to find things. Regarding 4, the menu link actually goes to vB options, and for 5, phrasetypeid may not be the same for all sites, so a standard link to the phrases is not plausible. You can edit the Photoplog cpnav XML file if you'd like to change the way the side group is laid out.

Thanks everyone for the thanks. :D

(#2)OK, I basically understand and was able to fix my navbar template to refer to all files as "/vbb350/" and that solved the basic navigation issue.

(#1)I have no idea where to begin looking for the "Hiding Place" link to the index.php file.

(#3)The dhtml issues are unique to this mod. They just do not drop down anymore. My menus are in the factory default settings (at least the bottom row is). The drop down menus work fine everywhere else, just not when I goto the photoplog.

These are not big issues. They were more like questions I was curious about.

This mod can reside anywhere, inside or outside the main forum directory, so links need to be absolute in nature. The mod itself is okay, it's just that you need to add to the 'Relative Links' and 'Absolute Links' settings. While you can edit templates to make the links absolute, it is not necessary. After a cursory look at your HTML source, you need to add the following though there could be more:

Relative Links:
Absolute Links:
Your menus are not working because you are using src="/vbb350/clientscript/ in 'Relative Links' but your HTML source has src="clientscript/ instead. If you find a link not working or an image not showing, then look at the HTML source for the relative link and add, line X to line X, to the 'Relative Links' and 'Absolute Links' settings. If you need further help, just visit the main support site and we can carry on in a unique thread.

In vbadvanced pointing the fotothumbs to http://www.MY_DOMAINhttp//www.MY_DOM...le.php?n=3&w=s

It seems that there is a problem with the 'Relative Links' and 'Absolute Links' settings but I have no idea where to change this for vbadvanced.

PimvanJ, just upgrade PhotoPlog vBa CMPS Thumbs (here) as it's now updated for use with PhotoPlog Lite v.1.0.7/8.
