How do I do the Featured Photos...

[coloradok5]

I probably missed this somewhere easy but how do I do the Featured Photos box on the main forum index (VB) page like you have here at photopost.com?

PhotoPost Enhanced vB3 Index Integration

OK, I did notice I needed:

include('./photos/inc_features.php');
// include('./photos/inc_photopost.php');

and not photopost/

But it still displays the same errors

[iloco]

include('./photos/inc_features.php');
include('./photos/inc_photopost.php');


Remove the //

I had to remove a period so mine looks like so but dont understand why.


include('/photos/inc_features.php');
include('/photos/inc_photopost.php');

[coloradok5]

Sorry I did get this to work, the // was just because I had it commeted out, I had to add an extra . to go back one directory.

include('../photos/inc_features.php');

Hi did do the modifications :

include('../photo/inc_features.php');
include('../photo/inc_photopost.php');

and in the template

$header
$navbar
$photopostfeature

All help needed !!

[Timo_Denmark]

Woops figured it all out!

Its quite simple when you know of it - the errors are simply because i did select the wrong database - eddit the inc_f... and inc_p.. files so the database get selected is the right one! - remember to select the right one at the bottom of the files!

[storm5956]

Here's my error. It's looking for a table that's not there. Any ideas? I know it's something simple but I must be tired.....

Invalid SQL:
SELECT
user.username, (user.options & 512) AS invisible, user.usergroupid,
session.userid, session.inforum, session.lastactivity,
IF(displaygroupid=0, user.usergroupid, displaygroupid) AS displaygroupid
FROM vb3_session AS session
LEFT JOIN vb3_user AS user ON(user.userid = session.userid)
WHERE session.lastactivity > 1106541779
ORDER BY username ASC

mysql error: Table 'photopost.vb3_session' doesn't exist

Was interested in this . Having searched through my index files I cannot for the life of me find the required place to edit the text

i.e

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');
require_once('./includes/functions_bigthree.php');
require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php');

Root/index.php and root/forum/index.php are both only one line ,and this aint in it

[SalTheWop]

Found it!!! Weird! Transferred the file over via Flash FXP and it was just one line.Transferred it via IE and it was OK !!
Anyway
get this error

Storm

You have VB and Photopost in separate databases make sure the follow the directions in the file to uncomment the top lines and reselect your database for forums down the bottom

Sal

If Photopost is outside the forum direction you need to place the true path in there or this

../Photopost

Notice ./ is only valid to select a directory in your forums directory whereas ../ goes outside the forum directory usually webroot

[SalTheWop]

Thanks . Unfortunately ,although I get no error message , I get no pictures displayed either.Just looks like it always has.

Update: I have a box there Featured Photos ...But it is empty.

I also have a box underneath my forums Photo Galleries ,which I dont really want there

[Timo_Denmark]

Anyone has the featured photo to work on a non vb page - I have tried a little but it just does not seem to work with the same settings like when into the vb index.php - Anyone got some code eksample of the a page that can be copy/pasted ??

Thanks1

[Chuck S]

It will be empty if there are no photos in categories. It does not pull images that are in the members gallery

Timo code hacking can be asked here http://www.photopostdev.com

[SalTheWop]

OK ,thanks.
With the box underneath the forums ,can I just skip this part

<!-- /main -->
<br />
$photopostcats
<br />

[Chuck S]

It you do not want to display the photopost cats on the forum sure just skip it

[SalTheWop]

Got this working.One problem ,or rather,annoyance. My site is black in colour,the gallery background is black.But the photos in the Feature box are surrounded by a white border! Can this be changed?

[Chuck S]

Look at the inc_features and change the bgcolor tag from #FFFFFF to #000000

[SalTheWop]

OK thanks. One more thing..sorry. I have the Members galleries and a couple of other Top Level Categories .If I post in another category (Main for example) ,the pics show up in the Main category ,but also in my personal gallery ,is that right?
