Photopost 5.21 Forum Thumbnails for vb 3.54

Photopost 5.21 Forum Thumbnails for VB 3.54

After playing around with this I finally got it right, here is my final advise.
This is for people that has the photopost software in a different database name from your vbulletin.

Black bold letter (changes made to the files)
Green letters: Instructions

1st.
In your Forum index.php file from VB 3.54

Find:
require_once('./global.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_bigthree.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_forumlist.php');
************************************************** *****
Under these add:
include(DIR . '/photopost/inc_features.php');
include(DIR . '/photopost/inc_photopost.php');
Where "photopost" is, make sure is your correct path if you changed it.

2nd:
Edit your file: inc_features.php (From Photopost)
Edit your file: inc_photopost.php (From Photopost)

inc_photopost.php:
On line 26 (On inc_photopost.php file)Find:
//mysql_select_db ("vb_photopost")or die("Could not select photopost database");

In here, delete the 2 green slashes and replace the black bold with your photopost database name; Example: vb_photopost or vb_gallery, how ever you named your photopost databse.

On line: 310 ( The very last part of the file)
Find:
// If you use PhotoPost in a seperate database from vB, you'll need to reselect the vB database!
//mysql_select_db ("vb_bulletin");
In here, delete the 2 green slashes and replace the black bold with your vbulletin database name; Example: vb_bulletin or vb_whatevernameitis.

Save and upload to your FTP photopost directory, Done.

inc_features.php:
On line 26 (On inc_photopost.php file)Find:
//mysql_select_db ("vb_photopost")or die("Could not select photopost database");
In here, delete the 2 green slashes and replace the black bold with your photopost database name; Example: vb_photopost or vb_gallery, how ever you named your photopost databse.

Save and upload to your FTP photopost directory, Done.
************************************************** *******

3rd.
Now, the last thing to do:
Go to your Style manager, select and Edit FORUMHOME
Right under $navbar, or where ever you wanna ad the thumbnails box,
ad this command: $photopostfeature
************************************************** *******

Well I hope this help to set up your Random Thumbnail box on your Forumhome page.

hy,

thanks i a lot! :banana:

for all who have also a seperat directory to the forum directory the path has to be set like this:

e.g.
/root
index.htm
- forum
- photopost

the code must be the full server path like:

include('/var/www/user1/html/photopost/inc_photopost.php');
instead of include(DIR . '/photopost/inc_photopost.php');

same to the features file

cheers
thorsten

This was covered several months ago on Photopost's forum, and I have been using it since then.
