Red X's and Problem with Links

The links in my footer (for the Photopost URL) seem to work, but I did the below for my index_header (I use vbAdvanced) as well as header templates but all the links (for the Photopost URL) still point to /gallery2/ instead of the regular forums links.

I'm going crazy getting confused as to why I can't get it to work.

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. Simply prepend $vboptions[bburl]/ in front of every url relative link.

a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$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.

UPDATE: Woke up a bit, and figured out I needed to change all the relative links in the navbar template! WEE!
