Integration with VB3

fatbyte · January 13th, 2006, 12:29 AM

This is probably answered somewhere else if so please point me in that direction. I purchased PP pro and VB3. I have them both running great but how do I integrate PP or at least portions of it into my forums index page?? I am a neophyte with PHP so this may be a stupid question. A basic tutorial would help.

Thanks
Chris

Hello this would be the thread that you are talking about. If you are familiar with vb 3.5 plugins you can make a hook on the forumhome complete area and include the files via that hook instead of editing the index.php file

Chuck.

I did everything it said and I get this:

"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') in /index.php on line 58

Warning: main(): Failed opening './photopost/inc_photopost.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /index.php on line 59"

Any suggestions?

Yes you would need to change the path to the include to your specific situation.

Is you directory called photopost? Is it in the forums directory. If it is not you might want to try this

../photopost/inc_photopost.php

Chuck,

"Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'phaco@linhost224.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net' (Using password: NO) in /home/content/p/h/a/phaco/html/photopost/inc_features.php on line 25
I cannot connect to the database."

Where do I specify my dbase variables? I know they are correct and both PP and VB3 are in the same database. I need to know where to change the variables. They are also set correctly in config-inc.php

Thanks

If your photopost and vbulletin are in different databases you can uncomment the $link and mysql_select_db statements within inc_features.php and inc_photopost.com and fill in the appropriate information. This should get you going here.

Hello,

I am also keen in integrating my Photopost Pro with vBulletin. But I have two seperate domains. Is it possible for me to integrate both of them as discuss above. If yes, how? Thank you.

Chuck S · January 13th, 2006, 07:49 PM

You can only use user integration when your vb is on another domain provided your host vb is on allows external mysql connections. You can not use the header integration.

Is there anyway to have the inc_photo post.php or the inc_features.php not show the photos on the front page of a forum the member is authorized to view in the normal gallery? its because some members do not want nudes on the front page of the forum. and they still want access to the regular posting area.

The include files follow the same permission structure as PhotoPost. We grab the permissions and display accordingly

Reeftanksonline · January 14th, 2006, 09:25 AM

Is there a way to block the photos on the front page of one group even if there is permission in the normal forum?

Hello,

I am shifting my Photopost Pro to the same domain as vBulletin. After installation & trying to run Photopost for the first time, I received this error message "Parse error: parse error in E:\User\forum.ipoh.com.my\httpdocs\forum\gallery\config-int.php on line 16". What could be the problem?

If I am using the same database as vBulletin, has the database prefix for Photopost to be the same as vBulletin?

What are the advantages & disadvantages of using the same database as vBulletin?

Chuck S · January 15th, 2006, 09:02 AM

Hello it would appear to me that that file is corrupt. Try uploading a clean file from the distribution and chmod it to 666 that should get rid of the parse error.

Hello,

I am trying to integrate Photopost with vB3. But I am not sure whether to use the same database as vB3 or to have separate database for Photopost.

Can anyone enlighten me on this issue? What are the advantages & disadvantages of using the same database as vBulletin? Thank you.

Chuck S · January 16th, 2006, 08:16 AM

Your following the instructions here?

PhotoPost Enhanced vB3 Index Integration

You have uncommented the $link statement and entered the photopost host username and password variables and also uncommented the mysql_select_db lines and filled in the names of your photopost database and vbulletin database?

If so you should be okay. What error do you get if you do all the above steps?

italks · January 17th, 2006, 03:45 PM

The path in the thread is a suggestion.

You need to set yours to the actual path where yours is located. The above example is when photopost is installed inside the forums directory

Now is your photopost outside try this

../photopost/inc_features.php

also make sure to use the directory name if it is different from photopost
