Missing PhotoPost Button Images

[Underlab]

I just installed 4.8.5 and it looks great so far, however I've noticed on the comments portion when you look at an actual photo, the the buttons show and "x" on them and only read they're alt tags.

http://www.underlabstudios.com/photo....php?photo=320

I also wanted to know how I can fix the stretching of the template interface I made for my site. If you go the forums section of the site, the interface is fine unless, you catch an thumbnail that is lost during my intergration with VB3, which also causes interface stretching (this portion I am handling). Hitting refresh until all 5 featured photos have normal thumbnails. I imagine I will have to edit one of the templates and maybe tweak out the padding or some sort, or perhaps, I can remove the "Last Comment" column, as I do not really need it anyway.

Thank you

[Underlab]

any thoughts at all on these issues?

[Chuck S]

If you are using the VB3 enhancements have you copied the templates from the vb3 enhanced subdirectory to the main templates directory?

[Underlab]

Ok I upoaded those templates, and they did not work, as far as the missing buttons under the reply part is concerned. I did manage to fix the stretching by editing the width of quick reply comments box (quickcom.tmpl and comments.tmpl), however something even worse happened, which I tried to undo by reuploading the older versions again, but still at a loss.

Ok Images in the gallery randomly seem to make the interface gruesomely out of whack. What makes it wierd, that not all users will have the same images out of whack. ie as user DVS Ghost Image A might be all messed up but as DMAN same image seems fine. This goes. DVS Ghost and DMAN are both moderators, so i am not sure if its a group ID thing. I am dreading having to go through the images and deleting them and the reuploading them PLEASE HELP!!!! If you need log-in info for a few of them plus links of specific images, I will be more than glad to supply via email or PM.

[Underlab]

Ok a pattern I've noticed that causes the distortion is that if User DMAN were to look at the images that DMAN were posted, these images would be the ones that would be distorted to DMAN only, however any other user can look at them and they would be fine. Hope this helps!

[Underlab]

Hello. Any Ideas, I am really stuck on this one.

[Chuck S]

what is the image path it is looking for?

You have right click disabled so I can not see what your issue is to help

[Underlab]

Ok i disabled it for ya. I checked the path on the images and it is trying to look for the images in a photopost folder, however my main concern is the distortive interface that users see when they are looking at their own pictures. I mean it looks real bad and shifts the whole insert to the far right about an extra 750 pixels. Now they have to scroll way over from left to right to see their pics. i will PM you a log in code so you can see for yourself.

[Underlab]

Any Luck at all?

[Chuck S]

Lets see

Your photopost and forum are on two separate domains. one being www and the other not.

Your vb license number is not entered correctly in your admin area of Photopost.

I notice you sent me a login. You would need to send me admin login so I can see what your settings.

[Underlab]

I sent you the admin log in. The license number seems to be ok. I dont know how this would cause the malfunction of the interface.

[Chuck S]

Your missing buttons are there.

However as far as your table alignment issues I can not comment on this too much because I do not see this on a normal install and your site in w3c validator goes crazy. You would need to validate your html for whatever style your using and bring it up to industry standards making sure all correct closing tags and such are used.

The error from what I see with all those html errors is in your style and not our program. You see it in the showphoto page because depending on image sizes etc it will break out of any table you have and this is where errors show up real easy.

[Underlab]

ok, What I did was upload 4.8.2 showphoto.tmpl, everything went back to normal, so that tells me that the new show photo, either has an extra closing tag or something interferes with my style. I mean I am using Dreamweaver MX 2000, so writing of the interface has to be good. There is something up with the showphoto.tmpl that is conflicting with my interface, and I am sure will with someone else. I have noticed some errors in my status bar

1. error: "null" object is null - prior to uploading the old showphoto.tmpl
2. error: character expected

both errors were coming from showphoto.php?

well you can turn off the extra vb3 enhancements and upload the normal 4.8.5 templates not the vb3enhanced ones. There are one or two things Michael is working out with the null object thing.

However no one else's site goes all html whacked out like that. As I pointed out your code is nowhere near html valid so it is real hard to look at your html coding and see where something might be conflicting.

[Underlab]

$filesize = sprintf("%1.1f", ($filesize/1024))."k";

this is the line from showphoto.php. that the error is getting me

[Underlab]

THIS IS THE BEST I CAN MAKE THE HTML. IF YOU CAN TELL ME HOW I CAN MAKE THIS MORE TO "INDUSTRY STANDARD" , I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. THERE IS AN ERROR ON THE STATUS BAR. IT READS:

LINE:328
CHAR:1
ERROR: OBJECT UNEXPECTED
CODE:0
URL: PHOTOPOST IMAGE URL.

I am wondering what i need to fix this as i think it might be related to the previous problem. I am trying to make the comments box shorter in width, i am altering the comments.tmpl file, however the comments box remains at the large width which is what is shifting the interface farther to the right. Should i be altering a different file?

For now in your config-int.php file turn off the extra vb3 enhancements and WYSIWYG stuff and just leave on the vb3 regular integration

Copy the regular templates directory back to your install.

If you want hints on html code you can read up on w3c.org as capitol tags have not been used in 3 years in html. There is a validator over there that should tell you exactly where the mistakes in your html are and guide you to fix yours.

There are two outstanding issues with the VB3 enhancements we are looking into one in relation to the smiley's for VB CMS users and another with the java thing on showphoto so no matter how much we shape your code up to see where your site and our code are meshing nothing is going to fix that java thing till we come out with a fix for that so its best to turn off that extra enhancement till then.

[Underlab]

Ok I've done everything you said. When I uploaded your new showphoto.tmpl (non-advanced) The interface went out of whack again, but then I uploaded the old showphoto.tmpl from 4.8.2 and the interface went back to normal kinda. The interface still stretches out a bit, but there are no errors. It just doesnt look all that good, but I can live with it for a minute. I know that the comments text box, is what is stretching it. went to the comments.tmpl to change the number of columns or characters but to no effect. If you can tell me if this is the correct place to change the width of the text box I would appreciate it. I edited the following:

<td class="{$Style['tddetails']}">
<textarea name="message" cols="30" rows="10">$ecomments</textarea>
</td>

all in all we should be good until you can get that fix woring for me. The error has to be withing that showphoto.tmpl. In the meantime, i will read up on getting my html up to par. Thanks for you advice.

[Chuck S]

I look at a regular 4.8.5 template and 4.8.2 showphoto template and they are basically identical HTML wise

The only difference is calling the thumbnail border template for the image preview and next images but again thats valid html.

quickcom.tmpl is where you can change the quick comments box width

[Underlab]

well, all is well for now. I hate not being able to take advantage of the new vb3 features, but my site looks good and is 99% functional (there is a log-out bug, that i dont even want to fully get into, because it was a minor issue) but I love the video embedment which almost detered me from getting the PP software, since it didnt have it before, but I am glad I went with my primary instinct and bought it anyways because I really do love it. I will try once again after I take a look at my html and see what i can do, in the meantime HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

PS how do I get to be in your site examples or whatever. I think my site looks cool enough to show off to your customers, I may not be the best in scritping, but Graphic Design and Flash Design i think i rock (please dont burst my egocentric bubble)
