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 )

make sure you correctly edited inc_features.php and doublecheck the path to that file for example if you have it installed in a directory within the vbulletin directory "/forums/photopost" the path would be

PHP Code:

include('./photopost/inc_features.php'); 


if you have called the directory which hold Photopost gallery it would be

PHP Code:

include('./gallery/inc_features.php');

Yep that is correct, I left it with the default - photopost, from the forum root.

It would appear to find the file correctly, but have issues with MySQL queries within that file - apparently I would be the only person with this problem!

Thanks for your help.

[edit]
After a quick search for the exact same MySQL error, I found out where I was going wrong - my Photopost database is alongside the VBB one - and in the config.int.php file, the prefix wasn't set, which I set to "pp_" and now it's fine, just must be me, sorry for the hassle!

^ I changed mine to the full path and it works great! Thanks

PHP Code:

include('/home/yoursite/public_html/photopost/inc_features.php');

do not include your public_html directory there it should be

PHP Code:

include('./gallery/inc_features.php'); 


[phill2003]

Yes if your going to use the ./ directory pointer then take out the public html bit otherwise take out the ./ and replace it with the full path (not url) to the folder you want..

PHP Code:

include('./gallery/inc_features.php'); 


or if that does not work

PHP Code:

include('/path/to/your/file/gallery/inc_features.php');

you need to be carefull when editing PHP most likely you forgot a ( or ) ' or ' or ; somewhere

[phill2003]

or you could have put a spare " when you put your username password and database name into inc_features
