Another VBadvanced & Photopost question

[Doug_Nelson]

Sorry for posting yet another version of an old question, but I searched and couldn't find a solution to my particular twist.

I'm using:
PhotoPost PHP 4.8.5b2 vB3 Enhanced
vBulletin Version 3.0.10
vBadvanced CMPS v2.0.0

I want to show a random photo in a block on my VBA page. I made a PHP file as recommended and put it in the Modules directory. I also modified and uncommented the inc_features.php file. Then I used VBA to add a module using the PHP file. And I added the include statement for inc_photopost.php in my VBA index.php file.

So now when you visit http://www.retouchpro.com/index.php you can see the nicely formatted block has been added, but no photos are included. There are no errors, and the source doesn't show it even tried to add anything.

Any advice on how to get this working?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, I've no idea how I did it, but I got it working. However, the formatting is a bit messed up, and I'm not fluent in HTML or PHP to fix it. For one thing, the collapse icon is reversed, and the default is to collapsed, unlike all the other modules. And the title only goes 1/3 of the way across (I did nothing at all to any formatting commands, only what I mentioned above.

Also, how can I remove the "stacked" effect?

Ok, I edited line 177 in inc-features.php to read colspan="$columns" and that fixed the title only going 1/3 across.

But I still need to get rid of the stacked effect (it doesn't appear in my PP install, so why here?). And the collapse button is still reversed.

Also, I have more than one PP license and installation, is there any way to have more than one "featured" box? I tried repeating what I just did and adding the new line to index.php but it gave a bunch of previously declared errors.

For the block within a block thing, did you turn of the 'use generic shell' option like I mentioned?

BTW: Nice looking site. The color scheme is very easy on the eyes.
