Miscellaneous Hacks - Make Photopost vBGallery v2.1 work with Zoints SEO. UpDate: V1.01

There is a simple edit that will allow photopost vBGallery to work correctly with Zoints SEO. Every instance of the /gallery url being changed to the /forum url should now be fixed.

V1.01

Edit "gallery_config.php"
Find:

// ============================================
// Enter the full path to your forum here
// Example: /home/photopost/public_html/forum
// ============================================

Insert Below:

define('VB_AREA', 'vBGallery');

Save and upload.

To unistall the old version simply revert your Photopost vBGallery templates

DEMO URL: [CURRENTLY BLANK] (NOTE: I have not tested these edits on a live board, only on my localhost server. If you apply them and wish your forum to be listed as a live demo please let me know.)

Many Thanks to "Calash" for the idea!

I ran into a similar issue with a bridge I have been working on. The fix was not to alter the templates, but to put a define right before the call to global.php

define('VB_AREA', 'vBGallery);

This prevented Zoints SEO from changing the base directory to the forum.

I am not sure if this is the same problem, but it does sound the same.

hmm thats possible, but I hate trawling through others php code :P The template edits seem to do the trick without too much fuss.

where exactly do you put this?

[rsj1]

I would guess you would put it into the php file... I don't have my localhost server with me at the moment so can't check - I'll try looking into it tonight at work. If this is all you need to do it would make a lot more sense than replacing 99% of the templates.

Most of the navigation is fine, but still getting wrong path (/forum/ instead of /gallery/ ) when clicking the 'next image' or 'previous image'.

when i try to upload images, I get red x. what could be the pb?

This is more likely to be an incorrect upload path, incorrect GD settings or a permission error

Is that with my hack or before applying?

I'm working on my localhost server now so I will try the "define('VB_AREA', 'vBGallery);" edits soon.

Ah I just worked this one out, its a phrase that supplies the prev / next links - if the test i'm doing now fails i'll include instructions to edit them too

Many thanks, keeping close eye on this one
