viPortfolio 1.2.6 Beta Release

======= =======
viPortfolio Version 1.2.6
======= =======

This is our first hack. And not our last. We have spent a lot of time polishing it for stability and interface. Thanks for the patience and support so far.
We have installed and tested in vBulletin 2.2.6. For those with older versions, please post your results.

Installation Instructions:

Extract the viPortfolio-1.2.6.zip file which will create a viPortfolio
subdirectory. Upload the directory to your root Web server directory where your forum code is located. From a Web browser run: http://{yourserver}/viPortfolio/install.php and follow the steps.

.: Remove the viPortfolio subdirectory after installation :.

We would appreciate any feedback regarding this hack. Interface, changes for future versions and so on. We will offer support for this hack - we will not be responsible for errors - as always, BACK UP YOUR data base.

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.

Thanks NTLDR...but I put in:

select settinggroupid, title from setting where settinggroupid > 219 and settinggroupid < 338;

And I got back:

Error
SQL-query:

select settinggroupid, title from setting where settinggroupid > 219 and settinggroupid < 338;

Select didn't work for me for some reason....but delete did. I'm going to install tonight version 1.2.6. /crosses fingers.

[Apok2002]

While opening the install.php...I am given only these options:

To Hack the templates
needed to run viPortfolio 1.2.6 on your backup database

Skip to (viPortfolio Hacks ) >>

To INSTALL the templates, database tables, icons,
and settings needed to run viPortfolio 1.2.6 into your backup database

Continue the install (viPortfolio Tables) >>

I cannot INSTALL it. If I click the "install" option I get a page that just displays the credits. There are no further options.

If I go to install the hacks...no viPortfolio hacks appear in the vbhacker box.

Apok2002,
If you would be willing to give me access to your database I could help you out. With all the failed installs I can imagine your database is going to be looking different than what mine does.
This installer was a mistake. the Portfolio itself works great. We tested that very well before we brought it into the beta area. The installer didn't get the same testing as you well know.

Let me know if you are able to give me access into your database. I will go in and clean out any previous install traces and start fresh. If you are still interested in working with this hack that is. Just send me an email offline and let me know.

[Apok2002]

Before we do that...I really think I almost have it. I'm not using the install.php file any more. I used the manual install. All is looking good now: member list is almost 100% there, usercp is correct, admin cp settings are there and working. I can upload just fine...but...nothing displayes after uploading. The tmp folder is in the forums root dir...and I still see the Q's.

Here is the screenshot. In the admin cp viPortfolio Settings, I changed the # of files to 3 instead of 9, just for ease of working with.

Removed photo

As far as the memberlist goes...look at the left column.

Removed photo

Then the WHO'S ONLINE seems to be working w/ exception of the far right column at the top box...

Removed photo

Any ideas about these?

*edit* Removed photos to clean up this thread. The issues on the photos appear to be resolved anyway.

Apok2002,
I have already seen some of these problems. Here is either a fix or good place to look for each issue.

1. Thumbnails not showing.
When we had this problem before it was because the instructions were out of order. The install_icons.sql has to be loaded before the install_mime.sql. If you wanted to start over with just these two execute the following commands seperately in your sql command window.

These instructions will clear these tables. There is only viPortfolio data there created in the install so you won't loose anything because you will reload it further down.

PHP Code:

drop table icons;
delete from table mime; 


Copy the contents of the following files and paste into sql command window. This has to be done in this order because the icons file requires the mime contents already exists. It will not give an error but it will not work later if the order is not correct.

PHP Code:

install_mime.sql
install_icons.sql 


This should fix the thumbnails not working.

2. Showing Q's in the viPortfolio.
I have never seen this? Are the Q's text or maybe a link to a missing graphic? Could you attach the html file to a message here so I could look at it? Just do a [File] [Save as] in your browser and save to a file. Then attach the file to a message you post on this thread.

3. Fixing the far left member list column.
You need to edit your memberlist template.
Close to the bottom of the template you will see the following, You will probably see "User Name" instead of "Attach". You will need to change the words "User Name" to "Attach" only for the first occurance though. You will want the second line to still say "User Name"

PHP Code:

        <td bgcolor="#005628" colspan="7"><normalfont color="#FFCC00"><b>$bbtitle Members List</b></normalfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>
        <td bgcolor="#006633" align="center"><smallfont color="#FFCC00">Attach</smallfont></td>

<td bgcolor="#006633" align="center"> <smallfont color="#FFCC00"><b>User Name</b></smallfont></td>
        <td bgcolor="#006633" align="center"><smallfont color="#FFCC00"><b>Email</b></smallfont></td>
        <td bgcolor="#006633" align="center"><smallfont color="#FFCC00"><b>Homepage</b></smallfont></td>
        <td bgcolor="#006633" align="center" nowrap><smallfont color="#FFCC00"><b>Find Posts</b></smallfont></td> 


4. Extending the whosonline title bar.
You will need to edit online.php file.
search for

PHP Code:

onlinecolspan = 3; 


and change it to

PHP Code:

onlinecolspan = 4;

kewl, thanks for the help, they seem like easy fixes w/ exception of the Q's (which are NOT links, they are text btw).

Here is the url for it:

www.ez-company.net/forums/viPortfolio.php

This is weird though...I'm at work...and on my work computer, I do not see the "Q's."

Be sure to use the Tech2 theme when you go (which should be default).

If you don't wanna create an account, use name: llama, pw: llama.

[TeddyBare69]

I checked out your page, really cool site by the way Almost tempted to join in on the chess game

I didn't see any Q's though. I did notice that the portfolio view doesn't show the members name of the portfolio you are viewing? Not exactly sure why that is but it might give you problems uploading if you don't see the users name in the portfolio you are trying to edit.

Does anybody else on this list have that same problem?

[Apok2002]

hehe We are going to start having Chess tournaments too. Something I've been planning on for a while. I had a fellow hack the php-Nuke version of HumpaChess to integrate it into vb. It's vb's first integrated Chess system. We are pretty proud of it. hehe

We are primarily a multi-game, multip-player online community, but we also second as a philosphy/debate board.

As far as the member's name of the portfolio, I don't know why it does that either. I access viPortfolio thru the usercp options, so I have no clue as to why it wouldn't display my name. It didn't do that on earlier versions when I manually installed, so I don't know wuttup.

I'll have time later 2nite to work on it a bit more.

[Apok2002]

Well, the deletion of the sql, and re-querying of the mimes, THEN icons was completed just fine...

However, nothing still shows up, and I would imagine it's due to the fact that no member name is showing up in the portfolio page. Still don't know why that is though.

Here are some hints though to help...

When I go to edit my Portfolio...the link DOES say

EZ Company > User Control Panel For Apokalupsis > Edit Portfolio

This is the url when I am on the edit page.

http://www.ez-company.net/forums/viP...hp?action=edit

It's notshowing in the above url, but this is what is between the php?= and the &action=edit:

2839a5b0ee3f089f1b4463f763626e3e&

So it knows to update or edit MY portfolio. And when I upload and save, it says "Thank you for updating your portfolio Apokalupsis". But when you go to VIEW it, right after it thanks you...it gives a blank user name.

EZ Company > View Portfolio

And this, I imagine, is why nothing shows up. So something is going on in the VIEW area....not the edit.

This is the url it gives when viewing:

http://www.ez-company.net/forums/viP...d=&action=view

There are no #'s in the above url.
