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

Does it work on vB 3.5 and vB 3.6 and vB 3.7? Yes, it should. See the requirements. Also, there are two product XML files, one for vB 3.5 and one for vB 3.6/3.7, so import the one that matches your vB version.

Live Demo and Official Support: http://www.photoplog.com/

Note on Official Support: With 70 some pages, assuming 15 posts per page, and over 1000 posts, all in one thread, official support for this mod is now held off-site. Apologies in advance for possibly having to register at yet another forum, but IMHO support would be better served elsewhere at this point.

All support requests, except perhaps for proven bugs, may be ignored if posted in this thread.

Comments, suggestions, etcetera are welcome, but please note that further modifications are not being planned, as this is intended as the final release of the lite series.

Fun Fact: PhotoPlog Lite v.2.0.6 had 4330 downloads plus 2262 downloads prior to CSRF protection plus 3031 downloads as of 06 Nov 2010!

Yep, that's what it is set to. Well, for the sake of troubleshooting, what would be the directory path to write in the config.php file?

How can I make the welcome headers hack appear on my photoplog pages. I know that functions.php calls the header template but wont display &welcomeheaders.

@chrisisonfire: the config setting should look something like this:

define('PHOTOPLOG_FWD','/home/wherever/public_html/forum');

@medw1974: try this near the top of the photoplog_output_error and photoplog_output_page functions:

global $welcomeheaders;

Is there a way to put the random thumb gallery on forum home the same way that vbadvanced gallery does it?

Thanks for the suggestion calorie but that doesnt appear to work unfortunately.

@furst: check the comments section of the readme, it tells how to get thumbs on forum home.

@medw1974: did you stick global $welcomeheaders; with the other globals in those functions?

Yes I tried it on its own line at the top of the function and also like this

PHP Code:

global $spacer_open, $_phpinclude_output, $welcomeheaders, $scriptpath, $show, $pmbox, $foruminfo, $gobutton, $spacer_close; 


The only reason I chose that particular line is that it follows $spacer_open & $_phpinclude_output in the main header template.

Okay, in the PhotoPlog functions, right before fetch_template('header') occurs, print $welcomeheaders to see if it has content:

echo "<br />WLECOME STARTS<br />";
echo $welcomeheaders;
echo "<br />WLECOME ENDS<br />";

[medw1974]

I've tried that and it appears $welcomeheaders is not returning any value.

[calorie]

Okay, in the PhotoPlog config add this somewhere:

define('THIS_SCRIPT','photoplog');

And use the following in the PhotoPlog functions:

global $welcomeheaders;
