Recent images on vb forum v 3.54

Joey805 · March 14th, 2006, 06:31 PM

I just purchased photopost and got it installed and integrated with vb3.54. How can I place a row of recent images across my forum below my navbar like alot of fourms I've seen do?

Thanks for your help,

Joey

PhotoPost Enhanced vB3 Index Integration

Hey Joey, I hope you got it working how you want it.

Chuck, as the title implies ...
PhotoPost Enhanced vB3 Index Integration

Is it necessary to have PP Enhanced turned on for these instructions to work?

(>>> Cringing at the thought of asking my wife to do this for me >>>)

We have 3 PP lic/installed > 1 forum (enhanced turned off) > in 1 dB

ie I'd like to show 3 Most Recent thumbs preview bars
in the 3 parent category navbar that they represent ...

No those are blocks that appear on vbulletin so it is not tied to how you have the gallery appearing

OK i'm working on this integration right now and am getting stuck. I believe I have followed the instructions accordingly. I'm just trying to get a bar of photo boxes to show across my forum below my navbar.

Chuck, can you help me out?

In inc_photopost.php i have uncommented line 26 and it shows like this:

mysql_select_db ("db_photopost")or die("Could not select photopost database");

Line 319 is uncommented as well and shows this:

mysql_select_db ("db_forum");

In inc_features.php line 26 is uncommented and shows this:

mysql_select_db ("db_photopost")or die("Could not select photopost database");

Line 199 is uncommented and shows this:

mysql_select_db ("getbent_forum");

In my forum index.php I have this on lines 58 and 59:

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

Before I proceeded further, I just went to my forum to test and the whole thing doesnt work. The only thing that is showing on the main page is an error that says this:

Could not select photopost database

I know something is wrong so I don't want to proceed further yet.

Can you help me?

Which error do you get?

Let's cover both. If you get a bar of black photo boxes in your photopost integration settings in Admin => Edit Integration check the data url and make sure it has a trailing slash.

If you get the could not select photopost database you either have entered the wrong photopost database name or you need to uncomment the $link statement and fill in host username and password

Hi, I have the same problem, and I have tryed it all. I do as it says in this (http://www.photopost.com/forum/showt...?t=110527)post but it dosn't work... #¤&#

klausre · March 16th, 2006, 01:20 AM

The only "error" I get is 'Could not select photopost database' listed on the forum index

Get Bent · March 16th, 2006, 01:31 AM

In inc_features.php, uncomment line 25 and fill in your database info.

Hi, I did that but nothing happens.

The forum and gallery is ine separat subdomanes like forum.domane.com and galleri.domane.com. Can this be the case?

$link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "db_user", "db_password")

you need to fill in the right values here...
if you run different domains, I guess maybe your mysql server could be on a different host than localhost?

You need to elaborate on any errors or what you mean by nothing is displayed.

klausre · March 19th, 2006, 04:18 PM

First.

I have the same username for vb and photopost, and when I do as I then should I get the message "Could not select photopost database". I have here uncomment mysql_select_db on line 26 and the reselect command on line 199.

If I ucomment line 25 and enter the username and password I don't get the error but nothing is being printed.

I have the $photopostfeature code included like this:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

If your database for photopost and vbulletin are in different databases you must uncomment the select_db lines.

Have you edited your $forumhome template for that style have you placed the $photopostfeature variable in there. I dont see anything printing so it appears to me your missing this or have the hack not installed.

As I wrote; yes I have uncomment the db_select line and the reselect vb_db line.

And as I wrote; yes I have entered the $photopostfeature as you see in may other post.

Can you please answer on this. If I have the same username and password for vb and pp, way do I get the “Can’t select photopost db” message?

Klaus there is nothing further we can say without seeing a link to your site and looking at your forumhome with the plugin active

PhotoPost Enhanced vB3 Index Integration

If your forumhome looks like the attachment you have above sorry I am still going to say your forumhome template for that style does not include the variable to print the block or the file is not included via the file edit or plugin.

The very least if this file is included correctly you should get a bar called featured photos with no photos if there are none to include.

klausre · March 20th, 2006, 10:39 AM

Here's the site: http://forum.modellflynytt.no

Is it posible to send you the login for ftp and admin so you can take a look. I've out of hope here Chuck...

Chuck S · March 20th, 2006, 10:47 AM

Yes you can send admin login but I still have to say you have not edited the forumhome template for this style

If the plugin is active you should get featured photos printed where noted.
