Add PhotoPost Pro to each forum.

This hack will allow you to fill-in catagories from Photopost Pro to display in a film strip format under the $navbar. This will show in every thread of the forum as well.

What if VB and PhotoPost are in different DB's ?

inc_vbcat.php

- Unhash these @ the top of the file

// If you use the same userid/password to access both databases, you don't need to
// uncomment the mysql_connect - this is only if you require different ids to access
// the PhotoPost database.
//$link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "$dbuserid", "$dbuserpassword") or die('I cannot connect to the database.');
//mysql_select_db ("pp_database")or die("Could not select photopost database");

- Fill in the photopost DB info

@ very botem of the file

// If you use PhotoPost in a seperate database from vB, you'll need to reselect the vB database!
//mysql_select_db ("vb_database");

Why do my images show up but only as black spots ?

Edit: photopost/config-int.php
- add the " / " slash @ the end of:

$data_dir = "http://www.website.com/photopost/data/";

In Red

Why do I get a header of the box and not images ?

- photopost/config-int.php

// If your PhotoPost tables have a prefix, put it here
// Example:
// pp_ = "pp_";
$pp_db_prefix = "pp_";

Default prefix.

There are 2 templates:

• $feature
• $customfeature (no image info)

Extra Image Info:

• photopost/inc_vbcat.php

$feature .= <<<PPPRINT
    <td align="center" class="alt1">
        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
         <tr>
          <td style="background: url({$data_dir}{$pcat}/thumbs/$photo); background-color: #000000; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center;"><a href="{$url_path}/showphoto.php?photo={$pid}">$sthumb</a></td>
         </tr>
        </table>
<font size="1" face="verdana,arial"><!--{$ptitle}<br />-->
        by {$puser}<br />
        &middot; &middot; &middot;<br />
        <a href="{$url_path}/showgallery.php?cat={$pcat}">$catname</a><br />
        $cphotos photos<br />$cposts comments<br /></font>
    </td>
PPPRINT;

1) Add Title of Image
Find and remove RED:

<!--{$ptitle}<br />-->

There is a "Show photos from category" and we have to enter Category IDs there, how can I disable that and make it so any PP category pic will show in this hack?

This Hack is to add selected image group(s) from the gallery to select forums.

EX:

In a forum we talk about Science and the images that show are from 2 science catagories in the gallery. This could work on any subject (forum) that you need image interaction.

- What did you need or have in mind ?

* Image Order - newest, random, most viewed, top rated, most comments
* Image Count - enter value
* Number of Columns - enter value
* Exclude Catagories - enter value(s)
* Only Catagories - enter value(s)

On every page or just a select few ?
