Interested in PhotoPost, couple questions

Hello, I'm interested in purchasing PhotoPost but firstly I have some questions about your product:

1. How difficult to integrate to forum software like phpBB or vBulletin? I've been looking into this forum but I still haven't got the picture how to do it. What I want to do in my site is like the example, viperalley.com, especially like being shown here: http://www.viperalley.com/gallery/sh.../19028/cat/504 where people can give comments below the picture, do I need to modify php code, or html, or is it setup automatically?

2. Which one is easier, integrating with phpBB or vBulletin? I still haven't made my choice for this forum software.

3. Do you have the admin page demo? I tried to click on the link on PhotoPost homepage but the next page is saying I'm not the valid administrator

Okay, that's all for now....thanks!

1. It's not difficult at all, when installing you simply indicate which software you are using for your forums (and any configuration items, like forum database if different from the gallery, cookie prefixes, etc).

2. vBulletin has a deeper integration than the phpBB one and neither is complicated. If you had a choice, I would suggest vBulletin's.

3. The Admin Demo is offline right now after some upgrades, but we will try to get it back online soon.

1. So I can do it all from setup form when I install PhotoPost and I don't need to modify any template files? because when I read on this forum many people ask about the integration and they got the answers that they need to change (some) vBulletin templates.

There is no need to edit or change any files in vb. You only need to do that when your using some CUSTOM STYLE that has template modifications to vb files to achieve some style. Since Photopost integrates with the CSS of Vbulletin they look alike except in the case of template mods where you would need to hack the photopost templates in rare cases to match a custom style.
