few questions.. pp8

[Hippy]

Hi there Chuck...
here is a screen shot ..I am looking to edit the amount of image under the main image..
also how do I change the size the main image /" medium image"

and how would I go about relocating the additional info box..
or add the text: on top of the url so you can see the url?
make it center ( what template is it )

to make it easier I added comment to the screen shot so you understand me better

thanks for your help


PS.. debating on vbgallery or pp8
I luved pp7.03 but vb is screwing everything up for me .. with there editor..
oh when do you / or should I say will you be integrating the vb4 editor ??

[Hippy]

ok scratch the resizing the med image . above
scratch the filestrip .. as well
I turned off the left collumn in everything other than the index..
much better

stilll would like to center the info in the additional info pal..
( know the template name or what ever it's using to get it's info..and fix the IM / email thing there as well


the generated product... in all urls it shows this "example"

Content visible to verified customers only.

what am I missing.. also I had to turn off the form block (forum wouldn't load ) and the members profile would not load


I turn these off


Member Addon

member_complete

Photopost Featured Photos on Forumhome

Photopost Member Block

to get those to work again

seems like pppath is not working or I did not configure it .. or if I even had too ..


thanks for any info on this ..
Regards
Hippy

[Hippy]

ok I figured out the pppath by editing the xml..

I see it phrases smiles in the Edit Photo Description ( main discription of the photo) and in Last Comment Posted in the members profile but not when makeing a comment to a photo

so most I fixed or figured out ... been a while ( bare with me)

still the couple things like additional info pal..

oh and the latest comment on the index will not turn on..
can I edit it in the DD (phpmyadmin) maybe a setting not registering?

and is there a way to have larger images resized automaticly like before ??

If someone upload a image 1800 / 1800 it would resize them to what ever you had trigger it ..
Lost the exif info but it resized

thanks..

The xml you edited you did not have to edit if you would have set permission on them per the install or upgrade documentation. Your real urls would have been replaced in there when generated. That is a common issue probally one of the top things I have seen on people upgrading. We spent some time on the documentation and explicitly noted to read the documentation before installing or upgrading in our announcements and still I answer this all the time.

The additional info boxes are all in the showphoto template and you can edit however you see fit.

As far as comment on index they do display maybe your using the category cache?

Not sure what your talking about resizing as nothing has changed on image resizing. You never have been able to resize a main photo that has already been uploaded. The main photo is resized down to the max dimensions when a user uploads the photo and mediums and thumbnails are created at that time. You can resize mediums and thumbnails under scan database in admin.

[Hippy]

thanks... permissions to the xml file was 777 from years ago from your addon..
other than that All folders are correct permissions
so I am not sure what other permissions you mean ?
I'm not using category cache, Even if I was why would it not show ? will figure it out
thanks for the info about the additional info box..

oh in my error logs I get (ckeditor.php' not found or unable to stat,) even with
"If using the Enhanced option above, do you want to enable the vB3 or vB4 WYSIWYG control in Post Comments?" off

will you be getting the new editor working with PP or vbgallery>?

This is the biggest thing becasue of the error logs filling up with this error..

[Chuck S]

there are no calls to ckeditor in pp8. we use a simple comment box. Based on this I have no idea where you would be getting this error.

the xml files I am referring to are located nowhere near where you might have installed some hack years ago. The documentation has complete instructions on upgrade or install procedures and where files are located to change permissions on.

[Hippy]

ok what about the vb editor ?
will you be implementing it ??

sooner than later?


is it complex ?

[Chuck S]

That is a complex answer with no real answer. If we can support it we will but definately not sooner so if anything later. We have more important stuff to work on like updating other products adding mobile support etc etc.

[Hippy]

got ya

what templates are for
Most Recent · Most Popular Images · Random
and the one for the side bar ??

thanks

[Chuck S]

Your referring to the feature template and as far as sidebar thats many templates all depends on what your trying to talk about.

[Hippy]

thanks will check it out ... and check back..
the images in the side block are not centered
and for what I can see there is a extra

Content visible to verified customers only.

in the Most Recent · Most Popular Images · Random
oh is there a way to make Most Recent only say Most Recent
and Most Popular Images only say Most Popular Images etc instead of Most Recent · Most Popular Images · Random

a couple other things ..
in additional info
the Linked Image : works great with images but when its a movie it's showing the the

Content visible to verified customers only.

instead of the thumnail..
we went over this a while back and you fixedd it so the bbcode would be [media] or [mov] for movies

also
we allow .mov movies and people with windows if they don't have quicktime install they just get a blank..
is there a was for it to say if you wish to view this video you need to install quick time..

this happens with win7 ie9 and ff and opera
same goes for windows media player if they don't have it installed

thanks

[Hippy]

media I found here http://www.photopost.com/forum/1269136-post14.html

is there a way to show media direct link when it's a video and the linked images does not show when 's a video ?
at the end of that thread you never answered me about where that code goes to no show at all..
should be able to make the linked image not show but show the media link : instead .. no ?

[Chuck S]

Not really sure what your referring to here. You can make any mods you wish at your own risk. Remember I am here to provide product support. We do not assist with or provide support for code hacks. I can say how our program operates but if your trying to change how things are coded your on your own for that. I may at times give a hint as your showing in your link above but that is up to me if I want to or not.

There should be a blank row if your results are not enough to fill out the whole table results on features. You can provide more information if you want me to respond further about that.

As far as quicktime I have no idea. We load an embedded player which operates regardless of whether someone has quicktime installed on there home player. The embedded players run online and have nothing to do with a users home computer.

[Hippy]

hacks............... lol your kidding me right look at the link I posted ... if your software supports media and in your additonal info show a .wmv for a IMAGE . this is not HACK............ it's a BUG ! this would be called helping you fix PP the right way.......... look at addition info...
under IM/ Email... there is a url there WHY .. it show be blank so the user can add a email address NO? lol
I don't get paid to fix it like you do... So I am not recoding it , Just asking how to fix issue I see.

I just PAY to use it and I would like it to do what it seems it should.. IM / Email is it not URL ... anyway

as far as the code I posted above .. I add 4 images or 6 images its still there
has something to do with

$blanks If it's blank then it should not show make a if condition...

as far as media

well there is a bug if you load a embedded player it does not work..
and I searched for it , so would be kind to tell me where I enable it ?

whats this then Daffy Duck - PhotoPost Photo Gallery

while your there look at im/ email... and Linked Image

I don't use mac or like quick time .. but I installed it and I was right (the video worked..)

pp8 is the same as pp7 it's just in a different rapper

oh you did fix the editor error.. thanks for that

[Chuck S]

You can apply any line changes I noted in some thread sure

remember your causing alot of confusion here as your asking support questions and then in the next breath asking how to change default coding

The im email social thing is suppose to be how it is coded it opens up your mail program.

I would have to uninstall quicktime to comment further but as with any video if the embed player works or doesnt there is the normal download link that displays for any video as that is how video works.

[Hippy]

I know I go one to another .. (sorry for the confusion) rather than start a S-load of threads.. I figure you would quote then as you answer .. each..
if you like I will start new thread for each


I was wrong about the

The im email social thing is suppose to be how it is coded it opens up your mail program.

.. sorry bout that ..

but the rest stand..

[Chuck S]

you can ask mod questions in the mod corner sure.

The quicktime thing we will have to see as maybe they changed things. The whole purpose of embedded players is to make sure things are easier. Like I said though most multimedia there is direct link as that is ultimately how we show any multimedia thing as a download.

I can add the media tag thing to the build thats easy enough.

[Hippy]

Sure I will post when I am looking for a mod..

but for now
I am trying to have it work.

the quicktime thing has not worked at least since pp7

thanks for adding the media tag .. looking forward to it

[Chuck S]

well we never do checks to see what stuff a user has on there computer. we have embed players if there is one for a specific video but those are external code. We have no control over whether a player would work or not. As i stated we offer multimedia as a download that is how it is really supported. I will do testing and if there is a way to check to see if quicktime is installed or not I will respond in this thread.

[Hippy]

I know you have stated other software here are more important ATM and you all have PUT pp on the back of the priority list
But Have you ever looked at the URL here ?

It says Photopost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO if your going to make software TEST it and make sure it works...

I don't have beta tester tattooed on me .. I feel like I'm one tho

you have a site .. and a test site Or your site what ever you use... test it .. I can pick this script apart
but it's not my job to fix it ..

you enable PP to have videos display ?? and use ffmpeg to make thumbnails..
but you CALL it a mod what I ask why they don't display in recent comments..
or why does the linked image add bbcode to media


Dude you have a site installed ... you get paid to work on this script...

you have more everything turned off at your place ... turn it one and test it out...
