I'm running Photopost 6.0 and vb 3.6.4 and just got this all working after some struggling.

I tried it by the instructions, and after putting values in to a forum's settings, I got the "ppgcount" database error msg.
I tried changing the NOT NULL DEFAULT '' to NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' and got the error message.
I added the tables manually in phpMyAdmin and it worked.

So I uninstalled it and edited the .xml file. I took out the 4 DEFAULT '0' statements entirely. Saved it, imported it, did the settings, and it showed up just like it was supposed to.

So, if you are having this problem, despite the DEFAULT '' solution, try DELETING all the DEFAULT '''s out of your xml file, and installing (with overwrite to yes).

Example: change

$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum ADD (ppgcount smallint(6) NOT NULL DEFAULT '')");

to:

$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum ADD (ppgcount smallint(6) NOT NULL)");

For all 4 lines that look like that. Then reimport.

BTW, those who are getting empty gallery areas, did you check the numbers you're putting in the category field? The number of the categories with stuff in them, despite the examples (1,10,20), is likely to start with 500 and up. my categories 1 and 2 have nothing in them, and then the next one is 500, 501, and so on. You may just be putting category numbers with nothing in them. You have to pull the category numbers not from the "sort order" numbers in the admin thing, but from the URL for the category view. It will be http://www.yoursite.com/yourPPinstal...llery.php/cat/515 or similar.

Try putting 500,501,502 into that category box and see if that fixes your blank thumb area problem.

Edit: I just tried putting 1,2,3,4 into my category box and I got an empty thumb gallery too.
