PhotoPost PopUp vB Code

Mod assumes PhotoPost and vB are installed into same database. If you have them in seperate databases, you will need to use a mysql_select_db() to switch to PP and then back to vB in the pppanel.php file.

I'm looking into writing some converters - if someone has some skillz, I'd be glad to help out, don't know how quick I can get it done with everything on my plate. I haven't run Coppermine or some of the others we've had requests for so will have to get up to speed on those as time permits.

Working on some more mods for vB in the meantime....

I modified the attachment to use a $pp_prefix variable to make it less confusing.

photopost is a great product.. i have it and installed with vB 2.3.4.. gonna upgrade to the new version once i upgrade vB itself to 3.. also, reviewpost is a great product, but a man can only afford so many goodies at a time..

I've gotta rain on this parade: I had come really bad support for photopost when I paid for it, and was repeatedly told that if I was unhappy then I could shove it - I kept going back for about 3 weeks to try and get support, but got 3 replies in that time and all basically said "It should work ... you mean it doesn't ? Oh that's a shame ... it should work ..." you get the drift.

So not everyone is happy with Photopost ... maybe it's improved - ?

Natch: This really isn't the place to discuss individual issues but since you brought it up... I found 2 support threads that you started in our forums.

On 11/14/02, you posted a question about bulk uploading, then replied later that day that you resolved the problem. But you asked about a new problem in this same thread - we always ask customers to post a new thread for each and every issue, as replies within a thread are always viewed as part of the initial question.

On 12/9/02, you posted a complaint about private messaging support. We do not now, nor have we ever, provided support via private messaging. I think our lead developer replied to your initial private message, but all support is provided via our email support system or via our forums. After two days of not getting a followup reply via private messaging you posted one followup reply and stopped communicating.

I can locate no other support inquiries for you and I believe your problem was the result of not using the right method of getting support and maybe a bit of impatience. We provide support via our forums and email and strive to competently answer all customer inquiries within 24 hours. Please note as well, we have hired 5 support people since December 2002.

The vast majority of our customers are satisfied with our software and our support. If anyone isn't, I wholeheartedly invite you to use our contact form to contact me
personally so I can help.

Thanks,

I'll be honest, for the longest time I never checked my PMs. Our forum list was so long and the PM indicator was at the very bottom that I never really paid much attention. I turned off PMs, but then I couldn't send them, so turned it back on. While I try to respond to PMs, IMs, emails, tickets and whatever else people send my way - it's not always possible to accomidate everyone. Using our forums or trouble ticket system allow other support people to be involved and lets me focus on development.

So, if I didn't respond to your PMs, you have my apologies.

Hey Michael, nice hack. How many folks do you assume have their PP and vB info in the same DB?

Gimme that header-inc that allows for vB to store css in files (and not blow-up PP integration) and I'll say all kinds of (nice) stuff about you here, lol.

FWIW; PP is really good stuff, support is fine. It's not "instant" like we may be used to on this site and others, but comes in a very reasonable amount of time.

Just to highlight that individual photopost support, questions, and complaints should be directed to photopost.com. THis is a thread to offer support (if PhotoPost wishes) for the vB addon.

Can someone explain how and where I put the database switch? My photopost and forum db's are on the same server, but in seperate databases...
