PhotoPost vBTemplates 4.1.x/4.5.x

PhotoPost vBTemplates Hack v4.5
for vBulletin 2.2.7 through 2.3.x
and PhotoPost 4.1.x or PhotoPost 4.5
THIS IS NOT FOR VB3!

Comments and suggestions welcome!

What this hack does:
====================
If you have PhotoPost (www.photopost.com) installed along with
vBulletin, you're stuck with only 1 template style using the
.tmpl files that come with PhotoPost. This hack allows you to
make your gallery look more like the vBulletin style you're
using by pulling the vBulletin style/replacement settings.
Best of all, if you use multiple styles, each style can have
it's own templates for PhotoPost.

With PhotoPost 4.5 there is now the option to create different .tmpl
template sets which is great, but to keep up with 2 configurations
for colors and styles can be a pain.

This hack also changes the way postbit data in the comments are
displayed. The date is shown like vBulletin (May 2003 instead of
5/2003). Also, the code is included for showing the user's
avatar in the comments!

Version 4.5 - December 2, 2003
==============================
- This version has been updated for use with PhotoPost 4.5. If you are using 4.1.x be sure
to choose the proper version from the install

Templates Added:
- pp_showphoto_showubb

Templates Changed:
- pp_bulkupload
- pp_featurebit
- pp_login
- pp_searchbox
- pp_membhead
- pp_showgallery
- pp_showphoto
- pp_showphoto_extra6
- pp_showphoto_noslideshow
- pp_uploadphoto
- pp_uploadphoto_adminedit

Files Changed:
- bulkupload.php
- pp-inc.php
- showphoto.php


Version 4.1.5 - November 28, 2003
=================================
- This is the first release of this hack. I have tested everything
as best as I can and everything should work correctly. The version
numbering will go along with PhotoPost's version number that it is
tested with.
- Converted all .tmpl files to vB Templates
- Changed the way the 'Registered:' date shows up (shows May 2003 instead of 5/2003)
- Included code to show the users avatar when they comment on a photo.
- menubar.tmpl and diewell.tmpl still need to remain in case of errors within PhotoPost.
- Created install_pptemplates.php file to install the 127 templates needed for this hack.

Installation:
=============
The install of this hack is relatively easy. There are 17 Photopost files and 1 vBulletin
file that need to be edited. While this may seem like a lot, it's just replacing all the
calls from the .tmpl files to the new pp_ templates. Please make sure to follow each file
change carefully. If you have errors after the install, check the file changes again! It
does work. Install time is approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

I will be working on a version to work with the new PhotoPost 4.5.x that was just released on 11-20-2003. I WILL NOT be working on versions of this hack for use with vB3. If anyone would like to convert this to vB3, please do so!

11-29-03 1:35AM PST: Just noticed an error on the template install that I uploaded (it was the wrong one). It has been fixed and reuploaded.

12-2-03 12:30AM PST: Updated this hack for PhotoPost 4.5.x (also includes install for 4.1.x). Download the zip file in this post for the updated version.

If anyone was wanting to modify the search.php file to read from vbulletin templates rather than photopost templates, and doesn't know how to, I did it for you. I added four modified vbulletin templates and modified the photopost file. Since I thought the vb3 RC2 style looks rediculously ugly, I made it look similar to the vb2 style. Here's what I had done, I'll try to make everything as clear as possible.

- Add four new templates
-- pp_search
-- pp_results_top
-- pp_results_mid
-- pp_results_btm
- Modify two php file
-- search.php
- /languages/english/search.php

Template: pp_search

I will hopefully be working on a version for 4.6.x soon. They've made quite a few changes from 4.5.x to 4.6.x so I have to go through every line of code to check what has changed.

I will not be using vB3 for awhile so I will not do the port for vB3. I know a few people in this thread have said they will port it to vB3, so all I can say is to PM them to see what the status may be.

Is the port to 4.6.x working yet looking forward to using it if you are still working on it.
