VB integration

[shadowdancer36]

I was reading your post and I ran into a little snag. Here you have:

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

What do you do if you have your photopost installed in another directory? Mine is installed into www.site.com/gallery and VB is in www.site.com/forum


I'm an idiot when it comes to programming, but is it some sorta path command so that i can say /gallery instead of ./gallery?


Last but not least, once intergrated how do I add the option to add a link to the photo gallery in the top navigation?

You'd just need to change the photopost to where ever your gallery is..

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

To

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

if its located in www.domain.com/gallery/
Some servers might need to full path to it, Meaning something like this might be needed, Check your host for your dir path

include('/www/htdocs/domain/gallery/inc_features.php');
include('/www/htdocs/domain/gallery/inc_photopost.php');

Mine needs the full path like above...

As for the link in the nav bar, you'll need to login to your Admincp for the forums then goto the style & templates section and find the Navigation / breadcrumb templates. Then open the navbar template and find :

Content visible to verified customers only.

And add :

Content visible to verified customers only.

Changing www.domain.com with your domain name..

Well I tired the

Content visible to verified customers only.

With no luck. I also tried using the full path:

Content visible to verified customers only.

It produced this error at the top of the screen:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Not sure what that means exactly, I'm new to this PHP stuff.
Any other suggestions? Oh, thanks for the Nav info. I'm bout to try that out right now.

Okay after staying up all nite, I looked at things more logically.

Just to recap, the forum is located: www.mysite.com/forum

photopost is located: www.mysite.com/gallery

The command I supposed to insert was:

Content visible to verified customers only.

This time I put:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Basically telling it to exit the forum directory, then go into the photopost directory and find those two files. Now after all that crap, this is the error I get:

Content visible to verified customers only.

So now what? Chuck u have any ideas?

Is the database prefix set-up right for both the forums and gallery?

double check the config-int.php file in your gallery for $pp_db_prefix = "";
make sure its set to that you used during install
i.e.

Content visible to verified customers only.

two things

Make sure you have your table prefix for photopost entered in the integration settings in admin

If your forum and gallery are in separate databases you need to follow the instructions and uncomment and fill out the link statement select database statements accordingly

Yes it's the same....Correct me if I'm wrong.

For Photopost:

Content visible to verified customers only.

For Vbull:

Content visible to verified customers only.

If this is correct, anything else you can suggest?

They using the same database, they also pointing to 'pmc_' as the prefix.
One thing I noticed in the code... One uses double quotes, and the other single. I thought in php they operate the same. Or am I wrong? I'm slowly learning how to work with php.

No you would not set your photopost prefix to your vbulletin table prefix thats something different

$pp_db_prefix is your photopost table prefix

So does it harm it to be "pmc_" ? It should still work right?

Everything looks like it want to be in working order, but check out this error:

Content visible to verified customers only.

What does all that mean?

[Chuck S]

If they are using the same database the only thing I can think is in edit integration settings you have not set your photopost prefix which is pp_ right?
