Sorry not to sound like I am trying to argue but the variable meationed has not been set to YES

Admin => Forum Settings

Use Integrated forum stylesheets?
If you use a forum like vB3 or Threads and want to use the intergated stylesheet option, choose Yes

Do you have two installations?

http://www.lastortugasproduction.com/2005/photopost/

The setting I meantioned controls what styleclasses we use. Note this is your menubar template. It is still using our style classes.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Now if you have the setting above set to yes then you have not installed with vb3 integration. Did you by mistake select vb2?

This is in the bottom of our vb3.php file

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

So if the setting is set to yes then you did not select vb3 integration as noted.

you have installed photopost as an internal install and not externally integrated with vb3

I hit register and go to this page

http://www.lastortugasproduction.com...t/register.php

You need to reinstall Photopost to integrate into vb3

xman_2005 · January 30th, 2006, 06:26 PM

No I just have one installation but I have a parked domain thats why its how on the browser. But it has been all installed under the domain Lastortugasproduction.com/2005/forums/

here is another pic at my integration settings which I think I have done right from the begining of both install PP and VB:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I cannot see your code how do i become a verified customer...I have the lincense number etc...

Let me know what I am missing...thanks

I just saw ur last post ...I first Vb...then photopost...the first admin screen asked if I had Vb installed and to enter the serial number which I did then followed along and finished installing photopost.

For registration I keep phototpost as the regisrtaion module not Vb is that the problem?

what is the diff. between external and internal?

Do I have to re-install Photpost or VB. whats the oder?

Chuck S · January 30th, 2006, 06:48 PM

Yes you must use vb3 as the registration system.

Just reinstall Photopost and select vb3 external integration

Ok I will give it a try and let u know..thanks...

xman_2005 · January 30th, 2006, 07:45 PM

I have re-installed PP and now the themes seem to work BUT only one problem I cannot seem to get into the ADM section of PP. After I login in redirects me to the index of PP. So I have no way of configuring the settings in PP.

here is the the site now http://www.ltp.ky/2005/photopost/
Let me know your thoughts...thanks again...we are almost there...thx

On install you where asked to enter the cookie prefix of vbulletin

If you use phpmyadmin view the settings table setting 172 and change it to bb ( the cookie prefix by default is this but you can check in the vbulletin config.php file)

xman_2005 · January 30th, 2006, 09:04 PM

Chuck your are genius!! right on the money...its working!

Now how do I get the main Navigation where it says "Forums...."
to reduce in width and how do I get a "gallery" or photogallery link there!

thanks again...XM

Chuck S · January 30th, 2006, 09:15 PM

You have your photopost set at 80% width and the forum at 100% width

So decide which one you want and set it in the options of the appropriate application. If your trying to limit the whole thing then set photopost to 100% and vbulletin to 80%

You can edit the vbulletin template navbar and add an html link to the gallery

xman_2005 · January 31st, 2006, 12:09 PM

Thanks Chuck you been great help , how do you change tose setting in VB I know them in PP but not in VB any insight?

Also how do you add more items under "category" not under "Main" but Category itself. Thanks again....

Chuck S · January 31st, 2006, 01:17 PM

In vbulletin you go to their admin control panel and hit styles admin and edit the style properties itself. You will see the table width you have set at 100% you can change to 80%

In Photopost admin add a top level category. I assume this is what your talking about adding a top level category as appose to adding a subcat.

xman_2005 · January 31st, 2006, 03:16 PM

Thanks Chuck you this software inside out.... One more problem I came across I cannot upload the pictures ..its says " Sorry, you don't have permission to upload photos. " The user is the admin on the site...

Any ideas...we are almost there...thanks again..I couldn't gone this far without your assistance....

Chuck S · January 31st, 2006, 03:22 PM

You would need to set upload permissions on which groups you want to upload in

Admin => Edit Usergroups

On the money...thanks!!
