Hm, then I don't know if I can help you. I'm not much of an expert, just did some poking around. You might consider looking at your DB with phpMyAdmin and checking the forum table to see that the 4 fields are in there right, and then the pp_ tables to see that stuff looks right in there. It's all pretty logical if you look at the php for this mod for the field names and stuff.

I got it. I uninstalled VBGallery, which was disabled as I now use photopost pro, and it started working.

Great!

Got it working with vb3.7 beta 5 and the newest version of pp after a bit of tweaking from helpful info located in this thread.

The last thing that I had to do was to put my database name and pass on line 26 of the file instead of keeping the variables there.

As for getting blank nothings, I had put my url instead of the path to gallery in the main plugin. Putting the path solved the blank nothings.

Just wanted to note that it does work with the current vb beta and pp.

Thanks for this mod.

I'd love to get the stats (total number of photos) in the stats area on forumhome. I tried 2 hacks from photopost.com without any luck at all. If anyone comes up with this, please let me know as it's much needed. Also needed for classifieds & reviews as well...so please keep that in mind also. Just- stats: total# for each pp script on forumhome. Thanks.

I have this working perfectly for standard vb forums (on 3.7 beta 6).

However, when I try to enable it for GARS based forums it doesn't show.

I looked at forumdisplay and GARS_forumdisplay to see if I needed to add something to make it work in GARS templated forums but cannot find anything related to this Photopost product.

Is there something I can add to the GARS forumdisplay to make this work?

Thanks*

EDITED:

I found that if I add the forumdisplay_ppgallery template code in the gars forumdisplay below the navbar thingie that it will work. Is this wise?

I have found that no matter which category I put in, unless its the top parent of 500 nothing will show. My category for my gallery is 520 but nothing shows at all under this. Is thier a fix at all or is it how its meant to work.

Running vb 3.7.1 and PP 6.11. I have the blank collaspable box with no photos in it. And fixes for this? Tried everything I seen posted here already.

FYI: when you put the full path to the inc_vbcat.php in the global start plugin, you get a blank page. If you put the full URL to it or just leave it blank, you'll get the the collapsable box with no pics. So putting the url in instead of the path is NOT correct. Have to fix the blank page using the full path. It is trying to work when doing it that way.

Any fix for this? Not working on vb 3.7.x and photopost 6.11.
