Requirements: vB 3.5.0+ (development initially based on having vB 3.5.4 though vB 3.6.0+ and vB 3.7.0+ should be okay, but not every version was personally tested) and MySQL 4.1+ (development based on having MySQL 4.1+ though MySQL 3+ may be okay, but not every version was personally tested) and PHP with GD2 and Safe Mode off

LOL, Tefra, I wish there was something better. Automatic absolute linking is not without its problems. Manually linking is sort of a PITA at first. A combination thereto may result in other unexpected behavior. It's mostly about trying to get a mod to reside wherever wanted, whether inside or outside the forum directory, while accounting for other mods, skins, CMS, subdomains, etcetera.

TWIMC: Check the PhotoPlog license before redistributing my code! :speechless:

Upgrade instructions can be found in the README.txt file.

I don't get this new partial/absolute/global thing. It screwed up the layout of my PhotoPlog.

Say line two of the 'Relative Links' setting is this:

action="search.php

That means that wherever this:

action="search.php

Occurs in the HTML source, it will be replaced by this:

action="http://www.photoplog.com/forum/search.php

Where this:

action="http://www.photoplog.com/forum/search.php

Is line two of the 'Absolute Links' setting.


Of course, you'll want to edit this:

http://www.photoplog.com/forum/

In the 'Absolute Links' setting to fit with your site.


Think of it this way: it is a mapping, from line X of 'Relative Links' to line X of 'Absolute Links' so things get linked correctly. Line X of Relative Links maps to line X of Absolute Links, line Y of Relative Links maps to line Y of Absolute Links, line Z of Relative Links maps to line Z of Absolute Links, etcetera.

Some extra settings to add if you DLed v.1.0.7 before this post date...

Just check settings for the following:

Relative Links:

action="login.php
href="clientscript/
href="external.php

Absolute Links:

action="http://www.photoplog.com/forum/login.php
href="http://www.photoplog.com/forum/clientscript/
href="http://www.photoplog.com/forum/external.php

Of course change:

http://www.photoplog.com/forum/

To match with your site.


And remember, line X to line X. Want more? Check your HTML source.

Well I've had to create the folder structure it wanted and drop the image into that for each skin I had.

NOT ideal!

for the person that wanted 1.0.6.2 ......

[funinthesun]

I get this error when I try to upload a file? "Bad Open - Cannot Open the images Directory for Writing" Any ideas why? Thanks.

[Reef]

CHMOD the images directory to 766. If that still gives the same message then use 777

[Holidazed]

I am having a problem. I login to my vbb and then click on my gallery link and it asks me for the username and password. Should it not remember this from the session (/photoblog/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]) I am passing it? In addition, when I put in the username and password, it accepts it then asks for it again.

Ideas?
