Nothing showing up

[SSG.D]

Hi !

I'm running VB 3.6.7 and installed PhotoPost 2.3 and had no errors on the installation: However nothing is showing up in my forums or Navbar. And a few of my forum templates where altered when I ran the file path script. Like my background is gone or shrunk lol see attachment.

my gallery_config.php Is set like this
$forumpath = '/home/my site/public_html/forums';

(my site= as shown in _SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"]

my gallery was placed in my root = public_html

My Vb gallery shows in my AdminCp side panel and I filled in the file paths:

Gallery URL: http://www.asbpsnipers.com/gallery

Files Path: /home/my site/public_html/gallery/files

Files URL: http://www.asbpsnipers.com/gallery/files

I made sure in my Gallery main options that it is Active, Not sure what to do next. I think I have 2 or three hairs left on my head .

Thanks in advance for any help or advise

AdminCP => vbGallery => Modify Settings

Header Replacements
Here you may enter a list of filenames that may appear in your header that should be prefixed with your Forum's URL.

Navbar Replacements
Here you may enter a list of filenames that should be prefixed with your Forum's URL.

Footer Replacements
Here you may enter a list of filenames that may appear in your footer that should be prefixed with your Forum's URL.

EX: A Standard vBulletin Navigation.

Content visible to verified customers only.

Lets say you add a Blog system and it adds a link.
/forums/blog.php - <a href="blog.php">Blog</a>

In the "Navbar Replacements" you would add the php file: blog.php to the list of file names. This will add the forums URL in front of the link while looking at the gallery.

In your custom skin the standard Navigation was moved to the "header" template. In this case you would add to the "Header Replacements".

------------------------------
Lets work on the custom style. Edit your header template.

Content visible to verified customers only.

Add Full URL's: http://www.asbpsnipers.com/forums/

I did the template edit, but I'm confused about the navbar and header & footer replacements

Say I have Arcade and Radio and TV

So all I add is arcade.php and radio_tv.php to the navbar replacements right?
And I did.

still not clear on what I need to put in the footer or header replacements

Still nothing showing in the forums. No sign of My Gallery or link to it.

Also if I do the same template edit on my Blue Christmas template will that resolve my background issue?

Please send in the Calvary lol

the replacements do nothing else than allow you to put the gallery folder outside your forums folder..

on vbulletin side the navbar link to arcade.php would simply be "arcade.php"
so if you click it when in gallery.. it would be: http://yoursite.com/gallery/arcade.php
and you get an error..
IF you enter arcade.php to the navbar replacements.. it looks for arcade.php when loading the navbar template.. and adds a: http://yoursite.com/forums in front of the link.. so when you click arcade.. it points now to http://yoursite.com/forums/arcade.php ....

the same with the footer links.. like admin , home or contact us
all depends what you have in your header or footer.. some people have upto 20 links in there.. and as those links dont have a http://yoursite.com/forum/ in front of them.. they would point to the gallery folder if there were no replacement

Thanks Luciano for your reply. Big thanks to Zachariah for live help!!!

It's all good now except in the vb gallery home images don't show up. Even though the images are in the files that the it looks for them in. When you right click on the blank image x to verify the path of what image should be there,, then go to you cpanel and verify it's there, what more do you do?

I suspect a gallery template alteration.

Thanks for any help

thats normal.. probably you installed skin after vbgallery..
there are 2 ways to fix this..

you can rerun install and there is an option for imagepaths.. ( i dont really do that)

or you go to your admin panel..
stylemanager --> for your style select All style options
goto section Image Paths

And in all image path folders add the complete url..
example where it says:
Miscellaneous Images Folder images/misc
enter
Miscellaneous Images Folder http://www.yoursite.com/forums/images/misc

etc...
that should work
