Problems upgrading at V4.6.7 and later

Hi,

I upgraded my forums a week ago to VB3 finally, and realized then that Photopost was no longer working right in terms of being able to log in, do any admin stuff etc. So I decided I needed to upgrade my 4.5.1 to work with VB3.

Reading a lot of stuff on this forum, I concluded I needed to first upgrade PP to a newer version. I downloaded the newest zip from the member area, uploaded everything except for the config file, and ran the upgrade script.

Note, I can't turn off the gallery, as I do not have admin rights to it. But I think it is not being actively used at this point anyway. At least I could not figure out how to turn it off.

The first snag was at the 4.6.7 upgrade step. I got a blank screen. I did some searching on this forum and found a valuable thread that told me to remove the extra .php from line 1267. Just for anyone's info, it is now an extra .php at line 1271 in my editor.

Removing the .php from the url and ran it again, it worked! Everything said it was successful. Good times, good times....

But I received some error messages at 4.7. Ack...

ALTER TABLE photos DROP INDEX date failed with error: Can't DROP 'date'. Check that column/key exists
There was no option but to click next step. Which I did. That all seemed to work okay also.

But now going to my site's photopost directory, all I get is a black screen covering this text-

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: update_whoonline() in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\elisetalk.com\httpdocs\photopost\pp-inc.php on line 359
Is it that I have no integrated with VB3 yet? Or something else?

Thanks for your help.
