Thanx for your help but I have followed the instructions from the link you gave me for several hours. How can a link that was dated November of 2004 possibly be of help? I follow those instructions and you continue to tell me "your definately using the old hack again". I don't get it and I guess thats why I have spent lots of money to have PP installed/upgraded and this particular hack installed once before. I think I am going to seek an alternative to PP, something thats more my speed. I have been able to upgrade vBadvanced & vBulletin without a hitch on several occasins yet the featured photos for PP has stressed me beyond belief. I like PP allot but I think something more simple would be my speed. I hate the fact that whenever I upgrade vBulletin I have to set aside several hours to stress out with PP. Thanx for trying to help Chuck I know you wanted me to figure this out on my own, but I give up.

You can email your login info to the server and I can take a look but the directions posted are indeed correct. Be like 5 mins and your fixed up.

The issue here is look at what file your including in your forum. The files it is looking for simply do not exist cause the file your including is looking for the old file type. Since Photopost 5.0 came out the thumbs have been in there own directory. We do not save files like this for the past 11 months somefile-thumb.jpg. Instead they are /thumbs/somefile.jpg.

Looking at the file you have included in your forum you will see it is looking for that file.

I would suspect indeed here your uploading old files from the old hack of vb integration to your install and trying to inc_photopost.php instead if inc_features.php

[Chuck S]

Here is your issue as I see it

1. You where trying to include the old hack inc_photopost.php in your vbulletin index file it is the only thing that explains your symptoms displayed in this post which is what I was saying all along

2. Your inc_features.php file which is the correct file if you where playing with that one couple issues there. You did not have the mysql_select_db uncommented like the instructed state since your vb is in a different database than the gallery.

Okay thank you again. I can see from looking at it now what I was doing wrong. I did try the inc_features.php but I would never have guessed this path. ('../gallery/inc_features.php'). And correct I did not have the mysql_select_db uncommented. Hopefully I will learn from looking at this. Thanx again!

PhotoPost Enhanced vB3 Index Integration

Chuck, does this work for the current PhotoPost Pro and vBulletin? I followed the steps and change include ('./photopost/inc_features.php');
to include('./gallery/inc_features.php'); in both lines since that is where you set it to but when I go to index.php for vBulletin it just churns.

[Chuck S]

Those are the instructions yet with VB 3.5 just go to admin and add a new plugin. Choose forumhome complete and type the include statement and make the plugin active and then do the forumhome template edit. No need to edit index.php with the plugin system

I keep getting this error:

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/crownieh/public_html/gallery/inc_features.php on line 54

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/crownieh/public_html/gallery/inc_features.php on line 119

I have been going over this for 2 days and still can't figure it out. Should I be looking in inc_features.php to correct the problem?

[Chuck S]

As posted above here are the instructions.

PhotoPost Enhanced vB3 Index Integration

If your photopost and forum are in separate databases follow the paragraph IN BOLD

Make sure your Admin => Edit Integration settings has your correct photopost database table prefix.

[CrownieHQ.com]

Okay heres what I got. I did like you suggested and followed the paragraph in bold. Because I have the forum & gallery in 2 different databases I "scrolled to the bottom of the script and uncomment the mysql_select_db() command (on line 26) and insert your vB database name and uncomment the mysql_select_db on line 310 and add your vB3 database in quotes". Heres what I have:

Content visible to verified customers only.

and at the bottom

Content visible to verified customers only.

The vB index.php file

Content visible to verified customers only.

Forumhome template

Content visible to verified customers only.

Content visible to verified customers only.

And I doublechecked the photopost database table prefix which was

Content visible to verified customers only.

I have been over it again & again and I am sure I followed the instructions correctly. is there something I am still missing?

[Chuck S]

How about uncommenting the $link statement and filling in those variables

[CrownieHQ.com]

Awesome thank you that worked. Now the errors are gone and the box that read "featured photos" is there but "no" pics. I can't see how I missed anything.

[Chuck S]

Well this box only shows photos from categories not the members gallery just in case you have only photos in the members gallery

[CrownieHQ.com]

Okay I created a new category & it worked great thank you. But if ya can answer this for me it would be great. I "already" had a category named members galleries as in my other forum and thats where the pictures were uploaded too. How come its different now and I had to create a new category? Is there a way to move the pics into a new category if thats what I have to do? Thanx for all your help.

[Chuck S]

It does not show those pictures in members gallery as I stated above. This is just how the developer coded it.

Okay I got it figured out I think. Again thanx for all your help!!!
