Phototopost features block on forumhome

hi people,

I see people who are heavenly modifying there boards to get this done.This is actually not needed.Photopost includes a files that does this automatically

1)install the plugin
2)tempate modification

template FORUMHOME find this code

<!-- /main -->
<br />
<br />

replace with

<!-- /main -->
 
<br />
$photopostfeature
<br />

remember to modify the path to inc_features.php(this is a PhotoPost file) if your photopost installation is different from mine

that's all

enjoy
all done no more modifications to the original vb files needed

possible problems
Question:After installation i get an error message like

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /photopost/inc_features.php on line xx

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /photopost/inc_features.php on line xx

Answer:This Could be because you did not set a value for the $ppdbprefix (database table prefix) Photopost uses.Open your config-int.php and set the correct value for the $ppdbprefix variable

You can also set this in your Photopost Administration panel under "edit integration" (PhotoPost Database Table Prefixes) field

question i don't know what my path should be can you help me ?

PHP Code:

<?php
phpinfo(INFO_VARIABLES);
?>

and look at the value of $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']; this is the serverpath to the file you are currently vieuwing within your webbrowser when you are done remove this file from your server (security )

Ok guy's maybe I'm not doing this right.
Am I supposed to mod the inc_features.php within photopost if so where in the file do I need to mod? or mod the Plugin PHP Code?
I have been moding the Plugin PHP Code this whole time. I still get the errors.

This is what's in my inc_features file

//$link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "userid", "password")

Should I take out the "" after I add the reall username and password?

Hello,

Do your have Photopost Pro installed and integrated into vBulletin ?
- If YES contenue reading .

Are you VB database and Pro database the same ?
- If NO contenue reading .


Here we go ! :bunny:
- Unhash these @ the top of the file
- Fill in the photopost DB info

// If you use the same userid/password to access both databases, you don't need to
// uncomment the mysql_connect - this is only if you require different ids to access
// the PhotoPost database.
//$link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "$dbuserid", "$dbuserpassword") or die('I cannot connect to the database.');
//mysql_select_db ("pp_database")or die("Could not select photopost database");

@ very botem of the file

// If you use PhotoPost in a seperate database from vB, you'll need to reselect the vB database!
//mysql_select_db ("vb_database");

Yes they are the same.

ADMINCP => Plugin System => Plugin Manager => Photopost Feature Block
- Hook location: forumhome_complete

Default install:

include('./photopost/inc_features.php');

This needs your PATH to your Pro install folder.
If you do not know it off the top of your head you can look it up in the /photopost/config-inc.php file.

EX:

// Path to your PhotoPost installation - no end slashes
$PP_PATH = "/www/pp/pro";

This is the value that is Replace in the plugin.

include('/www/pp/pro/inc_features.php');

**** Problems ***************** Answers ***************

Why do I get a header of the box and not images ?

- photopost/config-int.php

// If your PhotoPost tables have a prefix, put it here
// Example:
// pp_ = "pp_";
$pp_db_prefix = "pp_";

Default prefix.

Why do my images show up but only as black spots ?

Edit: photopost/config-int.php
- add the " / " slash @ the end of:

$data_dir = "http://www.website.com/photopost/data/";

In Red


If you still have problems yell

[rareclownfish]

Well I don't even get a header on the portal it shows up on the forums homepage.
Do I need to make my own box, or this code should have done eveything for me?

[rareclownfish]

I have this code with in my cinfig-int.php file. $pp_db_prefix = "pp_";
Should I be adding or changing somthing?
