VB home page gallery

kingjim · November 5th, 2005, 03:53 AM

Hi Guys and girls,
I am hoping to add a photopost (recent post) gallery to my home page, just 4 of the lastest pics added.
I have been through vb.com and vb.org forums and have not found any advise on this. I am wondering if anyone out there knows how to do this.
Thanks a million in advance

Hello visit the photopost documentation forum and read the sticky on adding the vb3 main index block

Hi Chuck,
Ok spent half and hour trying to avoid making a fool of myself but I cannot find the "photopost documentation forum and the sticky" that you mention.
Sorry, but is there a url you can point me too?

Hi Chuck,

I have done everything suggested in the above link.

On the home page (http://www.africatravelforum.com/) I have managed to get "Featured Photos" up and running, the only problem is that it is not showing the pics??

I have double checked everything and all seems to be correct - any ideas on what I might have missed?

The only thing I have not edited is the config-int.php file, what if any changes do I have to make here?

Thanks in advance

Check your category permissions and if your using vb35 make sure your using the latest inc_features.php from the download

THE CONFIG-INT MUST HAVE ALL THE PROPER PATHS AND URLS BUT IT SHOULD IF YOUR USINNF THE VB3 HEADER INTEGRATION

Hi Chuck,
At last i have managed to get this right as you can see on http://www.africatravelforum.com/ everything is working/ looking fine apart from the fact that no pics are showing any ideas on why this would be.

Hey Buddy as stated in my last post all paths must be right

Your photopost data directory url in integration paths is missing the trailing slash it states must be placed on it. Thats my nothing shows

Can this method be used for vb3.5.1 and photo Post latest version?

Chuck S · December 5th, 2005, 07:00 AM

Hello yes the inc_features.php file is included within the photopost download

tony76 · December 5th, 2005, 09:24 AM

Possible to tell me where i went wrong:

Warning: main(./photopost/inc_features.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /index.php on line 58

Warning: main(./photopost/inc_features.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /index.php on line 58

Warning: main(): Failed opening './photopost/inc_features.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/lib/php') in /index.php on line 58

you would need to change the include path to the correct path for you install

./photopost is a suggestion

it could be

../photopost

all depends on where you have it installed and the directory name

tony76 · December 5th, 2005, 09:31 AM

I changed it in index.php and I got this:

Warning: main(./gallery/inc_features.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /index.php on line 58

Warning: main(./gallery/inc_features.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /index.php on line 58

Okay if you have photopost installed in gallery off the webroot it would need to be this

../gallery

./gallery is saying look in the forums directory for a directory called gallery

Are you installing PP inside your forum folder?

No it is in a separate folder but using same dbase. So i need to use ../gallery instead of ./gallery rite?

tony76 · December 5th, 2005, 10:19 AM

Everything has been installed beforehand. I am just trying to install the features thingy.

Chuck S · December 5th, 2005, 10:26 AM

yes if it is in a directory gallery off the webroot it would be ../gallery
