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.

See post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....0&postcount=35. You really need to check all templates. Or update all templates with the content of the zip in the mentioned post.

I like to like it!

I am running this hack on Vbportal with Photopost 4.5. I upgraded to photopost 4.5 and then installed the hack. I had a couple of the previously mentioned problems which were worked out with the previously mentioned fixes. I have been beating my head against the wall on a new problem for about a week with no results. My problem is that all of the links are colored blue on all my themes except one. I have spent hours comparing the templates for the non working themes to the working theme but have not found anything. It looks like it is also messing with the background. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The link to the site is http://austinairsoft.com/photopost/index.php

obsidian:

Your problem is pretty simple and it isn't that uncommon. After taking a gander at your linked page's source, I found a <link right in the middle of your page which is [more than likely] causing your problem.

View your page and find it. It looks like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://austinairsoft.com/photopost/stylesheets/default.css" type="text/css" />

It'll be a quarter or so down the html source. So that tells me it's at the top of the Photopost templates.

All in all, you probably need to edit that css stylesheet according to the rest of your site [without { } colors] or delete the <link rel=""> from the top of your Photopost vB templates.

** EDIT:

Actually, hell. I just glanced. The HTML setup starts over about halfway down the file -- are you using another header with the pp templates?

I just installed it with PP 4.1 and vB 2.2.

Parse error: parse error in /home/vb2-test/public_html/gallery/forums/vb2.php on line 201

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: authenticate() in /home/vb2-test/public_html/gallery/index.php on line 30

Thanks Harlequin..... I thought that the stylesheet might be the problem but I could not find it anywhere. It was not in the style anywhere and I started digging through files looking for it. In the end I just ended up deleting the default.css file and it works perfectly.

Great Hack. Perfect for Vbportal where tons of themes are possible.

I just installed it with PP 4.1 and vB 2.2.

That's a pretty old version - why not use a more current version?

[Shell Geeks]

opps my message was cut, it's vB 2.2.9 Also Photo post is PhotoPost PHP 4.1.1 to be exact.
