vb integration problems

youradultworld · November 13th, 2004, 03:40 PM

I've read through many of the tips in this forum and have found solutions to many of the problems that I am having. Only now I am concerned that the script may not be functioning the way it is supposed to be, it doesn't look as nice as some forums do. If someone will please look at my new installation at www.youradultworld.com/ppost and let me know if you see anything obviously wrong with the layout. The images were showing red 'x's but after converting many of the variables to absolute variables, the problem has been fixed.

My browser says it's done loading the page but with errors.

I can't seem to login to admin though, when I try it brings me to the same place as a regular user with no options at all except to look at pictures that aren't on the site. Because I am used to scripts installing more smoothly, I would really appreciate if someone would take a look at let me know if they see anything obviously wrong, this includes links, etc. Some links now have multiple / instead of just one slash there may be two in a row which doesn't seem to affect anything.

But my main concern is that the site may look funny, not like my regular vbulletin forum message listings, but it may be because there are no pictures that have been uploaded, but I don't see the option to upload photos nor can I get into admin although phpmyadmin appears to show the access level of 6 for my username which the script does allow me to login, but it just doesn't show any admin functions.

Help please,

You need to set forum integration to yes in photopost admin options

You need to per the VB integration faq alter the header-inc template as well to get rid of relative paths

see this in your source code

var IMGDIR_MISC = "/images/satellite/misc";
// -->
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_global.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_menu.js"></script></head>
<body>

This makes sense and I will change this but the part that I can't seem to do is change anything in admin. I believe that during installation I choose to use vb3 or whatever but like I said, when I go to the admin login page I guess submit logs me in I imagine as a regular user and not admin although I am only admin on vbulletin. I don't believe the settings are incorrect by looking at phpmyadmin though. But all that I get is the same thing that you get as if no one logged in, accept the vbulletin head changes to reflect you're logged in, but the photopost main section still shows the login and everything but nothing else changes, plus it says 1 unregistered viewing. I am going to see if maybe cookies is messing itup.

As it states in the vb integration faq you need to align your cookies

In vb your cookies are this

cookie path /

cookie domain blank or .domain.com

in photopost your cookie settings would be

cookie path /

cookie domain blank or .domain.com

cookie prefix bb

vb license number entered in the config

The license number is very important as VB uses it to serialize with a users password to make the cookie.

Thanks, and I'm now recognized as admin and can go into the admin section. I kept getting a message saying that member categories or whatever weren't allowed, so I found in admin options where I can change that so member categories are allowed, now everything appears to work fine except after choosing the file to upload, the next page is 2 small single line text fields, a question mark that isn't clickable, and some sort of submit button that isn't marked and is only about 2 millimeters wide. If I type anything or click submit, it says it's done processing or something but everything continues to show zero pictures.

I have checked many times file permissions, settings, etc. It is set for GD2 which is correct. I am not receiving any error messages.

Please go to www.youradultworld.com/ppost and let me know if anyone can see anything wrong please.

When I FTP in the photos are in the uploads/1 directory and even if I'm in admin trying to approve photos, there appears to be none.

Thanks in advance,

Use username: odelay and password: odelay

You must be missing some required files. Check to make sure you have uploaded everything in the distribution correctly
