How to show Highest Rated on Index Page?

jamesfsmith · January 25th, 2009, 07:50 AM

Creating a new webstite at Into The Glue
vB (3.8) and PPP (6.2)

We want to show the "Highest Rated" images on the main index page, not in a sidebar. (We're not using any sidebar)

In Admin Settings - Sidebar Settings I've set "Show Sidebar on Index Page?" to No and have tried setting "Highest Rated PAL" to both Yes and No. Neither work for displaying the Highest Rated PAL on the index page (with no sidebar).

I haven't found anyother place to activate this display on the index page itself. (I have found ways to display "Recent", "Most Popular", and "Random" images.

Would someone direct me to the proper area for activating the Highest Rated images on the index page or let me know if this is not a feature of the current software so I can stop looking.

Thanks for your help.

Your index page is not Photopost its vbadvanced so there is no direct may in Photopost to show something in another vb addon product. We do have a block to show photos on the forum index page

There are modifications released outside the Photopost support forums that users post for other users to try. Some of these types of threads would explain how to show content on non gallery pages. This is one for vbadvanced for example

Chuck - thanks for the reply. I think I used some ambiguous terminology in my question.

I have wrapped PhotoPost within vB and vBA, but I'm talking about the .../photopost/index.php page - not the ...public_html/index.php page.

I'm able to show the Recent Photos, Most Popular Images, and Random images just fine on the ..photopost/index.php page. However, I haven't found a way to show the "Highest Rated" photos without using a sidebar (which works fine when I activate the sidebar).

Is there a way to show the Highest Rated photos on .../photopost/index.php without a sidebar?

Thanks,

Jim Smith

Main Index - Into The Glue - Gallery

Highest rated is a sidebar option but also can display on the undercats bar so under sidebar setting in admin turn on the undercats bar and any other little pals you want to show. Then they will show on the index.

Yeah your original link was not to your gallery but the portal page hense we thought you where talking about your portal.

Chuck - thanks for the reply. Your suggestion got a partial success. The "Highest Rated" shows on the .../photopost/index.php page, but only partially - offset to the right of the screen and no thumbs.

Here is a link to the page

Thanks,

That block is not suppose to display images it is the highest rated images sidebar block and displays correctly.
