Phototopost features block on forumhome
 

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

replace with

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

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 ?

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

Nice work.

Thanks!

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

Awesome. Thanks!

I'm new and it was easy to install.

Thanks!

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

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

Cheers

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 ;)

Cheers

spot on thanks for that :)..

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

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

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.

[edit]
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!

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

glad you got it working

I'm getting this error.

Warning: Unknown(./public_html/gallery/inc_features.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /index.php(485) : eval()'d code on line 1

Warning: Unknown(./public_html/gallery/inc_features.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /index.php(485) : eval()'d code on line 1

Warning: (null)(): Failed opening './public_html/gallery/inc_features.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /index.php(485) : eval()'d code on line 1

What should I do?

do not include your public_html directory there it should be

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..



or if that does not work

<i>Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/admin/public_html/forums/index.php(485) : eval()'d code on line 2</i>

This is the error I'm getting now.
Thanks

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

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

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.

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?

ADMINCP => Plugin System => Plugin Manager => Photopost Feature Block

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

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

- photopost/config-int.php

Default prefix.

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

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


If you still have problems yell ;)

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?

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

Well the images don't show up at all, just the box.

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

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

????

I put this in the adv_portal template

between

$header


$navbar


like this.


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

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

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

Thanks got it to work

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

Both Photopost and VB are using the same database.
