Add-On Releases - Photopost Classifieds Recent Ad Block on Forumhome

Hi everyone,
this is my first mod and i though it will really help people out.
Basicly it shows either random, most_viewed or latest and can show a custom set of ads across in either vertical or horizontal position. It uses a external file that comes included with your Photopost Classifieds install.

How to install

1)install the plugin
2)tempate modification (optional in custom places)

template FORUMHOME find this code or other place you would like

find:

$navbar

right under this place:

$classifiedsfeature

Note: Make sure this plug in is enabled. It should automaticly install the template code so you will not have to do it, but if not follow the instructions above.

Remember Yoy may modify options in the inc_features.php (this is a PhotoPost file).

In that file you may set the layout, how many ads to show, and what type e.g. random, recent etc

Please let me know if you have any questions, ideas or need help

Uncommenting the lines....I'm confused as to what data I'm to put in the lines.

I have three databases....one for each - vB, Classifieds, and Photopost.

$link - I input my vB database information.
mysql_select_db - I input my PhotoPost database name.

Then....I uncommented line 193 and put my vB database name in the quotes.

Made these changes, but am getting errors. So, I'm thinking I am not putting the database information in the correct locations.

K, got the connection it appears now with my databases. However, I'm getting the following errors:

I see the problem here....it's attempting to point to files from a path that is incorrect. Each one of these errors are pointing to incorrect paths in the urls. For instance....taking the first one... http://www.f-bodyhideout.com/forums/classifieds/data1/thumbs/9511P7031738.JPG

data1 doesn't exist. It should be /data/1/

This would be the correct path in it's entirity:

There is also a version of this on Photo posts website. You may have better luck with that one.

Let me know if you have any luck because I have failed with both versions so far.

[smoknz28]

Will do...I see that you too are in the same thread on PhotoPost as well. Between the two of us....we'll get to the bottom of this.

Nice screen name by the way. :up:

smoknz28, i see that you got this error i had got the same error on the second board i installed this one. I visited your forum and see theres no error there now, how did you get that fixed?

[smoknz28]

Sorry...yea, I should have posted up how I fixed the errors.

First...one of my issues was that I had upgraded my Classifieds version...and with that came an error on my part. When I was transcribing the paths, etc...I screwed up the path to my data directory. Actually, I just left off the trailing "/" at the end of data so just went into my config-int.php of my Classifieds and edited line #23 $data_dir and added the ending "/".

Putting the "/" at the end of data directory cured the errors I was getting when the hack or inc_ads.php was trying to pull images.

Next up....

Second one I was having was the default directory that the plugin was pointing to for my inc_ads.php.

The default was set to: include('../classifieds/inc_ads.php');

Which didn't work for me because my inc.ads.php file was in my Classifieds directory. So, just edited the path to:

include('./classifieds/inc_ads.php');

So, vice ../classifieds I changed it to ./classifieds

Hopefully all of this made sense to you and the others who may be experiencing similar issues.

Thanks for this hack.
