Database Tables Prefix: are
smf_

The cookies are: SMFCookie463

I tried those and still its not working.

What's the install to intergrate the forum to the gallery charge?

Thank-You.

If you use the proper information on the install and correctly integrate with smf it will work.

The install charge is 59.00

I think I have it but it doesn't look like it has fully taken on the forum styles, codes ect. I see it took on the color.

That looks to me like it is using the forum style. Looks to me like you got it if you login to the forum and are logged into the gallery and everything works your fine.

travel124 · December 29th, 2007, 04:01 PM

It has taken on the forum colors but I wanted to eliminate my forum so I would only have one login to see the gallery and forum with it. shouldn't all of the catagories from the forum be transferred over to the gallery?

Chuck S · December 29th, 2007, 04:54 PM

No it should not and you cant elimate the forum. To integrate with a forum it means the forum has to exist and in SMF you have an integrated login which is the same as the forum and gallery and we can use the forum colors.

Therefore your site looks fine and is operating as it should.

Well gee I guess I waisted alot of time here. I wanted my gallery to have a forum style where you could have catagories with pictures and people could chat back and forth under certain catagories.

All it did was allow me the same login and same color.

Somewhat like this one:

A forum and gallery are completely separate products. forums are for discussions. galleries are for photos to be uploaded to and have comments places on them.

travel124 · December 29th, 2007, 08:07 PM

humm, I am just wondering how with the link I gave you that site is able to intergrate everything. Is that because they have a total different forum, like a Vb or something?

I just get tired of duplicating posts between my forum, blog and gallery.

Thanks much.

Chuck S · December 29th, 2007, 08:52 PM

You have linked a vbulletin forum with some posts there is no gallery on that page or anything of the sort. So that link is really invalid in this discussion as it has nothing to do with the gallery. The gallery on that site is here

http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/

and there forum is here

http://www.digishoptalk.com/boards/

Its no different then your site. The forum is in one place and the gallery in another.

travel124 · December 29th, 2007, 09:47 PM

Yes they are all linked together somehow on the top of the pages. I would love to be able to do that with my blog, forum, store and gallery.

Chuck S · December 29th, 2007, 10:19 PM

Not sure what your seeing we dont there is nothing of the gallery showing on the forum.

If your talking about header links then simply place header links in your header. That would be my suggestion as thats simple html links.

travel124 · December 29th, 2007, 10:28 PM

Yep that's what I am talking about. header links. That's not simple to me..lol

Chuck S · December 29th, 2007, 11:17 PM

Its just html links like this below. You in Admin go to Global Options and place a server path to a header file that exists on your site you have created and you can in Edit Header in Admin place whatever html you wish for your header there. I cant tell you how to edit anything on your forum as I do not use smf you might need to ask support on that product on their support site.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

That's fine Chuck, you've helped me out alot anyways. Thanks so much for your tiime, I really appreciate it.

Can you help me get rid of this? It comes up just after I upload a pic and where I fill in the info about it. I have re-uploaded all me catagories.

scrapn.com/gallery/bulkupload.php?ppaction=addphotos&do=preview&
photopath=1&upuser=travel12&notify=yes&rating=&comments=yes&defcat=500&deftitle
=The+Guys&d

Also my members are not showing up like before. I can only see them in my admin part.

Chuck S · December 30th, 2007, 10:11 AM

Your not really reporting any issue though thats a simple bulkupload url when someone uploads a pic. So whats your issue?

travel124 · December 30th, 2007, 11:57 PM

my users cannot login now.

Chuck S · December 31st, 2007, 08:38 AM

Well what did you change? You have gone back and forth here a few times installing changing things you had it working now you dont.

I show your setting your cookies to work only on your forums directory and not site wide.

travel124 · December 31st, 2007, 09:31 AM

No as soon as I migrated the forum over my users were not able to login to the gallery.

What are my cookies or where do I find that?

PhotoPost Cookie Path:

Forum Cookie Prefix: smf_ do I need to fill this one?

Chuck S · December 31st, 2007, 09:40 AM

You need to ask how to set your cookie to be global in SMF support forum I dont use that forum

right now the cookie is being created like so

/forum/

your cookie path needs to be like this

/

Your photopost cookies should be this

cookie path /

cookie prefix blank

cookie domain .digitalscrapn.com

You should then be fine.
