VB & PP one login and postcount

[LoriW]

Hi,

I've had PP for a while and just bought & installed VB. I am pretty sure I did the intergration of the two since it broght some of my threads from the gallery over to the forum, but I still can't seem to figure out how to get the post count and logins to be the same for both. Can someone tell me where I went wrong or how to get the two together as one. Many thanks.

Well integrating Photopost with vb usually requires the forum to be installed first.

There are several things you want to read on switching integrations

First you need to get the photopost users into your vb user database

You can use the vb impex script for that from vb or this script

Want to go from standalone to Vbulletin in Photopost?

You will then have to read and implement the many threads around here on SWITCH INTEGRATION

Here is a post where I lay it all out

Thank so much Chuck!!

I have the forum up and running and was succesful intergrating that with my phpbb forum I had previously. I also did try intergrating VB and PP last night but just didn't seem to take totally. The users are all there although it says they registered in 69' rofl but the forum and gallery still arent working with the one login and post count.

Okay so where I'm at now. I went and thought I set everything in the tables db and config file to what they should be but apparently I have messed something up cause now I am getting an error to my gallery site.

This is what I get -

Warning: main(/home/name/public_html/gallery/forums/.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/name/public_html/gallery/pp-inc.php on line 4800

Warning: main(/home/name/public_html/gallery/forums/.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/name/public_html/gallery/pp-inc.php on line 4800

You did not specify the correct forum integration in setting 41 of the settings table you just blanked it out

[LoriW]

Humm..I guess I'm not sure what I put there then. Right now I have it as this -

id - 41
title - User Registration System
varname - vb3.6.7
description - "is blank"
setting - photopost
option order - 2
section - 13

Should there be something in the descrition?

Many thanks again Chuck. I really appreciate you help.

[Chuck S]

Your error tells me your setting is blank not description

The setting should be vb3 not photopost if your trying to integrate the two

You need to do as instructed in my initial post step by step

[LoriW]

EDIT: Started over.

[Chuck S]

id - 172
title - Forum Cookie Prefix
varname - bb
description - vB3.6.7
setting - vb3

id - 173
title - PhotoPost Cookie Domain
varname - domain_path
description - .mydomain.com
setting - .mydomain.com

Those dont look right you need to put the right domain and cookie prefix in those

You need to give explicit examples because I cant tell you whats wrong since we cant see it and the concept of what error or issues your left with are not clear.

[LoriW]

Hi Chuck sorry about that. the mydomain in 173 does state .loriwileydesigns on both those last two lines.

But this is exactly how I have them set other than that. What should those lines look like?

Thanks.

Also here is the link to my gallery with the error

Have you updated your config file for photopost with the right database info?

Also your error is how I stated above. You have the setting in setting 41 of your settings table in photopost set to blank and not vb3

[LoriW]

Hi Chuck,

I decided to do a restore of my backup to the gallery and started over fresh with everything. I am now getting a new error.

Here are my config settings -

Content visible to verified customers only.

Also here is what I did for the lines 41,83, 171-173

line 41 - added to both description and setting set to vb3
line 83 - added to both descrip and setting bb
line 171 - added to setting /
line 172 added to setting bb
line 173 added to setting .loriwileydesigns.com

[Chuck S]

The error your posting tells me one of two things

Your database info under USER DATABASE in your photopost config-inc.php file is not set to your vb database

OR

Your vbulletin mysql table prefix is incorrect in setting 83 of the settings table

[LoriW]

Hi Chuck,

New problem. What I had to do was go and make a table prefix for my forum. Doing that worked.

So now I have a new problem in the import area. I am assuming it has to do with my config file but I cannot for the life of me figure out why. When it asks for $database_bb= I assume I put my dbname_forum? Then for $user_bb= & $password_bb= I assume that, that is asking for my dbuser_forum and password, correct?

Anyway this is the error I am getting.

Hi Chuck,

I just wanted to let you know I got my error fixed through my hosting co. they had to repair my database.

Thanks for all your help even while you was on vacation. Hope you have a great time!!
