We have spent a lot of time on this and all we ask is that our copyright notice remain in tact at the bottom of portfolio pages. Thanks!

Along with viPortfolio we are making use of a new install.php version 1.2.6. The install.php has not had the amount of testing that viPortfolio has. With that said we are looking for your assistance in notifying VisibleImpact.com of any error messages or difficulties you may have with the install.

*** Updated installer ****
I have totaly rewritten the installer to take out all the flash and make it a simple step by step install. Atleast I hope that is what it is It is definately worth trying.

The gdthumb.php was a php file I was using to testing the thumbnail functionality. I have modified it a little bit more to make it a useful testing tool for you also.

I have attached the gdthumb.php file below. If you could copy this to you viPortfolio/ directory and run it with http://{yoursite}/viPortfolio/gdthumb.php it will try and convert the installerlogo.jpg file to a thumbnail and save it to a file with a link to be able to view the new file.

This will verify if it is my code or something to do with GD or PHP.

Ok, ran it and it outputted this

Creating blank thumbnail image
starting resampling

using greater than 2.0 gd

Writting thumbnail to ./th0.jpg

and the link went to a thumbnail of your logo, so it worked

Have you tried other images?

GIF images work fine, I get the thumbnail and the link to the picture works, its just JPEGs, the one I use is your installer logo.

[TeddyBare69]

so I guess I got some work in front of me There has to be something I missed in the manual directions that my installer is doing? ;'(

My plans are to get the installer working figure out what was missed in the manual directions. I have an idea what it might be but I don't think I will have an update until tomorrow morning.

If anybody needs me I will be in coding land

[Christy]

well, seems it was my fault. I have been doing it manually and must have missed something. I just did it with the installer and everything works perfectly

I just went out and looked at it That is great!

[TeddyBare69]

The timing on this probably isn't the best but I found out what the problem with the icons not showing up. It turns out that I got the directions out of order. You have to run the install_mimes.sql before the install_icons.sql. The icons file sets the mime types with the default icons. Without the mime types, nothing happens.

So now I believe the outstanding issues are still allocating colors? NTLDR, are you still having this issue?

Minifreunde,
were are we at with your install?

@ Teddy, ok Christy got it with the installer working. If i want to clean my DB from all ViPortfolio and run the install again, what must i exactly do. I dont want to miss a table or produce a major error.
@ Christy, witch version of viPortfolio did you use?? Some help from you?

[TeddyBare69]

Minifreunde,
I know I have made a couple mistakes already but I can still help if you want? :disappointed:

I have taken out the parts of the install.php that didn't work. I believe she would have run the install.php script in your viPortfolio/ directory. While walking thru the install , on the third screen, it will ask you if you want to uninstall. There will be red box with a button that says "UNINSTALL viPortfolio Application". Click on that button and the next screen will show you a list of things that are being deleted. Go to the next screen and everything is gone. Now rerun the install.php script and again and go thru the steps to install.

You also have choice B If you rerun the install_icons.sql file this will update your mime table and you will see icons in your portfolio.

Version 1.0.7 is the latest and greatest. I have updated the first post in this thread with the new version if you still need to download it.

@ Teddy, i want youre help. I ask christy because he got it working.
Ok i download youre latest version and test it!!
