Getting Off The Ground?

[ZakRhino]

Okay I'm very new to PhotoPost PHP Pro (PPPP) and I just download and intergrade it with vBulleting, and vbPortal. My first question is why does PPPP ask if I want to have a different database and the forums databases together or not? How do I access images into the forums cause I don't see a gallery interface in the forums section when I merge the together. Also are the users on the forums and photogallery the bridge?

We ask this because sometimes people want to install in separate databases instead of together with the forum

When you integrate the gallery we authenticate the users from the forum so they all now can use the gallery and we use the vb header footer stylesheet.

You can place a link on the vb navbar to link to the gallery for your users as well as their are blocks you can install as plugins in vb to show photos or a cat list on the forums.

Can I have a different database but still have the authenticate coming from the forums?

sure that is exactly why there are two database sections one for photopost and one for the forum
