Upload and Admin Errors. New Install.

[bimmertuner]

I have just installed photopost into my vbulletin 3 install. Both are from the latest install files available in the last 2 days.

I have them both running off of the same database.

I have uploaded the vbulletin 3 include file inc_photopost.php and modified vbulletin's index.php to include include('./photos/inc_photopost.php'); after functions_forumlist.php. My photopost is installed to /photos

These are the problems I am experiencing. When logged in with the admin account of vbulletin and select "admin" within photopost when @ /photos it prompts for a login again (My Photo Gallery Login) which I enter, submit, and it goes back to http://www.bimmertuner.com/photos/index.php and not the admin interface.

I also notice when attempting to upload images I receive...

"Sorry, you don't have permission to upload photos."

I also do not see the photos section integrated into VB's index.php but I suspect this is because there are no images or cats.

Did you specific your vb license number when installing?

If you login to your forum do you have an admin link in photopost?

the upload thing is easy you need to edit your usergroup settings and assign permissions to all usergroups

[bimmertuner]

Yes.

That is the link I am referring to, yes.

Is this within the photopost admin interface? If so, as mentioned I cannot get into it without it redirecting.

I dont know what you mean by cant get in there with redirecting

You can PM me a site url and admin login

If you installed correctly Photopost totally uses your VB cookie settings if your using the vb3 integration. If your not using the vb3 integration then you would have needed to specify the vb license number correctly( this is not customer number ) and number one mistake people make is not entering the cookie prefix of bb when installing

If you can not get into admin then you would need to use phpmyadmin to view the settings table and set settings 171-173 to match your vb3 cookie

As indicated previously

Yes, the correct vBulletin Owned License #L198xxxx was entered not including the pound.

vBulletin cookies were left to default so that option during the install was also left blank.

As stated the only way this can happen is if VB3 integration is off and you have incorrectly entered a cookie setting wrong. Either the vblicense number or the cookie prefix no doubt.

I would say your cookie prefix which is by default bb ( it is in the config.php file of vb3 not the admin cookie settings ) and this is why you are not logged into admin. You either need to rerun install and specify the correct settings or use phpmyadmin as I stated and view your settings table and make sure settings 171-173 are correctly matching your vb3 cookie settings

[bimmertuner]

I have added bb. That appears to have got me further. I will see what I can do from here. Thank you.

I suspect this is simple but I cannot find a thread on it. The featured section @ http://www.bimmertuner.com shows the absolute path instead of displaying the image.

[Chuck S]

Your still using the old hack.

Photopost 5 has two files inc_features.php and inc_photopost.php

They are setup similar to the hack you have installed.

PhotoPost Enhanced vB3 Index Integration


I see in your image properties this its looking for the -thumb.jpg style where pp5 doesnt use that convention anymore

[bimmertuner]

"still" ? In reference to what? I do not see that you have indicated this previously.

I suspected it was an old mod and I will check out thread.


Thank you.

still means just that your still using an old hack and not the new files which are supported and part of the product does not mean I previously indicated anything above in any other post

Its just a waste of tiome.
10 hours and no help icluded properly.

Installation is a night mare.

Now, I've purchased and downloaded the sofwtare yesterday - so it's suppoe to be lates.

And on teh forum hom it uses th econvestion - -thimb.gif which as per admin is a old version.

Then where i sthe newere version I ask.

Can someone send me the inc_features.php which removes this error.

[Chuck S]

If you have downloaded the distribution you have the inc_features.php.

You must have overlooked the install instructions on photopost as they are clearly visible on the main page of the site under support in the manual

http://www.photopost.com/installphp.html

As far as the inc_features.php included in the distribution there is instructions on that in the product faq forum here

without you stating a site or error I can not suggest anything to fix your problem
