Add PhotoPost Pro to each forum.

This hack will allow you to fill-in catagories from Photopost Pro to display in a film strip format under the $navbar. This will show in every thread of the forum as well.

1 querry

• 1 template
• 4 Fields
• 1 file upload

Tested on:

• vBulletin 3.5.4
• PhotoPost Pro 5.21

- Show Imagebit:
(Title, Description, Rating, Username, Views, Dimensions, and more.)

What if VB and PhotoPost are in different DB's ?

inc_vbcat.php

- Unhash these @ the top of the file

- Fill in the photopost DB info

@ very botem of the file
Why do my images show up but only as black spots ?

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

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

- photopost/config-int.php

Default prefix.

There are 2 templates:

• $feature
• $customfeature (no image info)

Extra Image Info:

• photopost/inc_vbcat.php

1) Add Title of Image
Find and remove RED:

FAQs:

• Remove thumbs from threads

Great
just what I was looking for the new site
Thanks

Thanks Zach !

There is a "Show photos from category" and we have to enter Category IDs there, how can I disable that and make it so any PP category pic will show in this hack?

This Hack is to add selected image group(s) from the gallery to select forums.

EX:

In a forum we talk about Science and the images that show are from 2 science catagories in the gallery. This could work on any subject (forum) that you need image interaction.

- What did you need or have in mind ?

* Image Order - newest, random, most viewed, top rated, most comments
* Image Count - enter value
* Number of Columns - enter value
* Exclude Catagories - enter value(s)
* Only Catagories - enter value(s)

On every page or just a select few ?

Very nice hack:)

I have question:
How to add all images categories without have to type image category ID one by one?

thats great. thanks

Excellent!!

Awesome mod, cheers

I just wanted to know if there was an easy way of just showing any PhotoPost category on the forums. but its good as it is. very useful!

Im getting this error: Fatal error: Field ppgcount is not defined in $validfields in class vb_datamanager_forum in /includes/class_dm.php on line 485

Any ideas?

AdminCP => Plugin System => Plugin Manager

Hook Location: forumdata_start
Plugin: Add PhotoPost Pro - ForumDisplay

This is not working right.
- Perhaps not Active ?
- Perhaps not There ?

There should be 4 lines of code there. I have seen @ times on import of plugins a large amount of space saved before the code in a plug-in. If there is you can remove the extra space or reinstall again over.

The plugin installed ok M8, but I had to remove it because it was saying the same error code when I tried to edit/manage other parts of my forum.

Tried all ways and still getting:

Fatal error: Field ppgcount is not defined in $validfields in class vb_datamanager_forum in /includes/class_dm.php on line 485

Not my day.

Weird
- Just did an install here.
http://www.socalrailfan.com/forums/f...splay.php?f=13

Think there is something else installed that might gum up the works ?

Great mod made even greater if an option was available to remove thumbs from threads and show just on forum display...either or etc...can be a little distracting from users posts, as an intro to a forum its great tho...

Plugin: Add PhotoPost Pro - Main
Hook Location: global_start

Remove:

- I'll add later w/ option in AdminCP to toggle per forum.

cheers

Well I'll just have to leave this one for now until a fix is found.

Laters

what about recent gallery submissions on profile

I'll cook one up and post the code.

Im getting this error: Fatal error: Field ppgcount is not defined in $validfields in class vb_datamanager_forum in /includes/class_dm.php on line 485

superb

Everything is working okay other then the thumbs. The thumbs are just blank black.. There's nothing in there. What am I doing wrong? :confused:

Screen attached

The install for this seemed to be pretty straight forward, but when I installed, I got nothing. No errors, and no changes. I've double checked the install process, and can't find anything I've missed. Any ideas?

Go to your photopost/config-int.php and verify this:

verify that the " / " slash (in red) is at the end of the url

Thx for your reply mate

I've tried what you suggested .... but with no luck :surprised: It still not showing the thumbs :-(

Hi mate

I figured out what the problem is! Images thumbs are showing at forumhome, but not the thumbs for video clips. Does anyone what to do, so thumbs for videos also show? :o/

I think default a image (some media icon) vs. a freezframe clip is placed as a thumbnail.

I saw in inc_features.php and inc_vbcat that the codes didn't fetched medie other then image formats like *jpg, gif and so on. I've added my self mpg. mpeg, avi and wmv. These files are now showing in forumhome, but without thumbnails :confused:

I'll have to look @ that. I did not test on non-images. :o

hi, i got a global error after i installed the hack when trying to go to the vba main page and photopost main page.. so i disabled the hook_location global start for the add photopost pro admin and add photopost main and it fixed it.. did i do something wrong? id like to get the hack working, thanks in advance

What was the error ? :surprised:
Also take a look @ post 2,3 for setup info, it could be simple opps.

This work with photopost 5.11?

ya I do not see a problem. I do not think the DB has changed.

I've reinstalled this 3 times and I'm getting the same error. When I go to edit a forum to update the settings, and click Save, I receive the error "MySQL Error : Unknown column 'ppgcount' in 'field list'"

I uncommented out the lines in inc_vbcat.php to point to my PP database (it's separate from my VB database), but I still get this error.

It's like the database table wasn't updated properly with the new fields...what do I do next?

hello
I have photopost 5.30 & vb 3.51
