anyone tried todo a photopostpal with ipb?

[b6gm6n]

Hi..

I'm trying, so far so good...not really

ipb...hmmm doesn't use $ in any templates right? thus if i insert a $photopostfeature or anything like that i'm stuffed... also i'm trying to find the string that holds the ipb.member['id'] - but i cannot use $ in ipb (i'm on v2.0 using 4.8.2) ahh...any help would be greatly recieved

edit, my databases are one, i'm trying to use the membergrouping to view thumbs or if not logged in show another thumb of my choosing, worked on VB... maybe i'll use the photopost group table instead

cheers

What are you trying to do? ...bring IPB into PP as a PAL? If so, I'd be interested in this also.

where's omegatron...?

i'm stuck, i get and invalid "mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource"

gotta be right right?

I'm trying to make a photopost pal to show the recent images on my ipb index page, the query is good to my knowledge, i'm not sure if my 'mgroups' line is halting things, actually i removed it and still the same...please advise, i'll keep working

I see that Toney, but I have mine setup in 2 seperate databases also.

Is there a fix for that?

[Chuck S]

Yep Toney's problem was he was trying to define variables from ourside of photopost in IBP from looking at the code

If you need to use different databases just use the mysql select database

If they have the same user and password you can use this

mysql_select_db("db1");

If they have different user/password you need to setup a link statement and this


$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}

// make foo the current db
$db_selected = mysql_select_db('foo', $link);
if (!$db_selected) {
die ('Can\'t use foo : ' . mysql_error());
}

http://www.photopostdev.com is the site we discuss subjects like this that involve coding issues.

[Tattooz]

omegatron, after trying what you said (mysql_select_db("db1"), I now get this error "Could not select photopost database"

Got any other ideas? Besides moving the database?

Thanks

As Michael stated this kind of question is not answered on a support forum where we do not discuss hacking but help customers with the normal program

You need to ask your hacking questions at the hack site as I was just being nice and pointing you in the right direction
