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 )

Ok, finally got it to work.

My problem was the inc_features.php file that I needed to edit as follows:

//$link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "$dbuserid", "$dbuserpassword") or die('I cannot connect to the database.');
mysql_select_db ("XXXXXXXXXXXX")or die("Could not select photopost database");

You need to uncomment (remove the // before the above line) and you need to be replaced the above red X's with your database name.

Worked for me.

Laters.

What if I have it installed like this:

Root
-vBulletin
-photopost

Where Photopost is not installed within my vBulletin Dir.

http://www.njflyfishing.com/vBulletin/index.php?

That's my path. Scroll to the very bottom.

For some reason, the addr is coming up like this:
http://www.njflyfishing.com/vBulleti...ry.php?cat=506

Other than this path problem, It looks ok... I just don't see any photo's.

your path is not correct with a setup like that you need to set the path to for example

/var/www/njflyfishing.com/public_html/photopost

don't know if that's one correct just an example.But you are better of to install Photopost inside vbulletins directory why ? otherwise ones the path is correct you might be affected by the "openbase_dir" restriction (this is a PHP security feature) so you need to set the path to your www root and then include a /photopost at the end

anyway to get rid of the rounded thumbnail borders on the images? and have no border atall?

[phill2003]

If you look for this

PHP Code:

        if ( $height > $width )
            $mthumb = "<img src=\"{$url_path}/images/overlay-roundp.gif\" height=\"105\" width=\"81\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" />";
        else
            $mthumb = "<img src=\"{$url_path}/images/overlay-round.gif\" height=\"81\" width=\"105\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" />"; 


In inc-features and change the overlay round to whatever you want that should do it, or leave it blank if you dont want one..

sorted it bud , cheers

yes that path is not correct it is impossible a path like that works you need to set the "FULL" path if you don't know what this value should be look at the

PHP Code:

phpinfo(); 


output

it should tell you

[TunerNetwork]

K, where do i change the path at? the plugin itself or a file already on the server? If you can just get a lil specific, sorry, i havent messed with the gallery too much yet
