Per the helpful FAQ thread regarding integrating pp with vb3 -
My headers show up, but the images are all showing as Red X's
This is because
vB uses relative paths for your images. You will need to update your vB3 header to use absolute paths.
Using your Style Manager edit your header template, find:
a href="/$vboptions[forumhome].php
and for each of the URL's used you will need to update your path. In this case my forums are installed in the root directory, so I added the / to the path. If my forums were in /forums, then I would change the links to read something similiar to:
a href="/forums/$vboptions[forumhome].php
You will need to update all your links to use the absolute paths as PhotoPost is not installed in the same directory as
vB and so PhotoPost needs to know where to follow the links to.
Also, check your headinclude template:
var IMGDIR_MISC = "$stylevar[imgdir_misc]";
And either put a / in the path or change your
vb configuration to point to /images.
here's my forum link:
www.ultimate-bmw.com/u-forum/
here's my photopost link which I am trying to get up and running:
www.ultimate-bmw.com/photo_serv/
I have changed the header and header include filenames described above to the following, and my image still comes up broken, and my forum usermenu still shows the links as relative to the photo forum, instead of going to the vb3.
1)
<!-- commented out <td align="$stylevar[left]">
<a href="http://www.ultimate-bmw.com/u-forum/index.php?$session[sessionurl]">
<img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
<td align="$stylevar[right]">
-->
2)
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var SESSIONURL = "$session[sessionurl]";
var IMGDIR_MISC = "../u-forum/images/misc";
// -->
</script>
I would greatly appreciate help to wrap up the look and feel of the site, which is almost "hopefully" done.
