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 )

$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

Did both and I still have header with no images.... please help!

Are your photos all in the members albums? If they are then that is your problem this hack is designed by default not to take photos from members albums (cat 500).

Not really feel free to recode the hack to your liking though...

I have this way set up on mine, you can get round this, not sure if there's any side-effects but it seems to work fine on mine.

In the Photopost directory, edit the inc_features.php file and search for "500" (it should appear 3 times in total, around half way down the page) I changed these to "0" and refreshed and they appeared with no problems - I intend on leaving mine set up this way.

Many thanks for this!

I'm stuck..

3.6.4
added the xml..
edited the path...
Plugin PHP Code
include('/home/webuser/photoshop/inc_features.php');
include('/home/webuser/photoshop/inc_photopost.php');

added

$photopostfeature
$navbar

But I still don't even get a blank feature box..
right now it just shows two navbars.. (second added just to be sure I was in the right template.

Photopost works if I go there, but I'm not having luck getting it up on 3.6.4
?? Any idea to what I may have missed. ??


EDIT

OK.. forgive me...
but..

I guess I assumed that installing the plugin would in fact enable the plugin system.
I was wrong...
BE SURE you turn on your plugin system..
Works like a champ.
Duh!..

Thx.!
