NEW UPDATE COMING: I've got this system working with vb3.o and v2.0

New Credits:
Updated Hack: PixelFX
New Thumbnail Includer: Midnightz
And Thanks to everyone below.

Update Coming Soon!

INTRODUCTION:
After searching the web and a few sites, I wanted a way to show single / latest gallery images on my
vbhome/vbulletin forum. This hack, was setup in hopes to help others get a similar result to get gallery
images from photopost to show up on your vbhome/vbulletin front page. The concepts for this hack came is
from a combo of locations, as well as adding some of my own custom hacks and templates.

NOTE 4 vbindex: This hack should work with both vbhome & vbindex, the only difference for vbindex is you would make changes to the vbindex index.php not the vbhome index.php, also you would setup templates for use in the vbindex templates rather vbhome. Make sence? I'll rate a seperate txt for that soon.

- Matt Chroust for thumbincluder.php,

Catigory Exclude Addon - PixelFX Credits in zip file,
http://files.pixelfx.ca/catigory_exclude_addon1.0.zip

LICENCE INFO:
To get all required files you need licenced copy of vbulletin v2.2.x / 2.3.2 & photopost pro 4.1.0+ /

I'm working on version for vb3.0 gamma/RC1 as well, which is in testing

FILES NEED:
vBulletin 2.3.3+ (installed) Tested on 2.2.x as well
PhotoPost 4.51+ (Choose to intergrate with vbulletin when you install photopost.)
vBHome 4.2+ (clean install)
thumbincluder.php tweaked, and link to database.
thumbincluder.txt modified by pixelfx for catigory addon - coming soon.
thumbincluder.txt version 2, by midnightz

I take no credit for the thumbnailincluder.php which is needed for this hack to run. Although I have made edits
to it, for my next version of this script

LOCATION OF THUMBNAIL-INCLUDER:
(requires membership account and licence for photopost)
http://www.photopost.com/members/for...threadid=26550

for the thumbnailincluder11.txt rename to what ever ya want file.php be sure you set varables to your liking.
Then upload, To your gallery's root directory. I've found you can use multiple files and it works fine See addon coming soon for that.

Example: http://www.url.com/gallery/thumbnailincluder.php

SUPPORT:
I will only support this hack on this thread currently. aka here,
if you would like to create addons please PM me
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=53539

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING BACK UP YOUR FORUM DATABASE & GALLERY,
FILES ETC. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I've tested this on my two vb sites, and it works awesome. However I can't predict what it
will do on sites that are heavely hacked.

LAST UPDATED:
December 7th,2003

(note that update news info can befound at end of thread)

Note: This should work if you edit the forum/index.php but only if you want images to show up in
your forums rather than your vbhome. This is something I need to test more, so will post alternate update shortly for that.

NOTE: this version is for vbhome 4.2 to php 4.1.0 intergration, again addon will be posted soon.
NOTE: Text File Download at buttom of file,

News Update: [12.04.2004]
I'm still working on a vb 3.0.3/pp4.8.5 version of this. Its also got a unique gallery/news system with the update. It's taken a while for me to get it out as I've been swamped with contracts, but I hope to release update soon.

currently works with vb2.3.3 .. pp451

I've gotta update gallery and test it with pp46 then will clean up my install and post it for others to enjoy

Ahh just in time. I just upgraded to 4.6 and 2.3.3 myself. Can't wait. Nice work .

PixelFX - I guess with vB2.3.3 and PP4.6 the thumbincluder is not compatible?

[midnightz]

Photopost updates more than anything I have ever seen. I will do a test run on the upgrade and upgrade the thumbinclude gimme a few days. I'm trying to finish 5 websites and also do the Digi-Download hack. I personally think me and Exero should just join forces on that one.
