Header and Footer (vBulletin 4.2.0)

[smokn28]

ReviewPost v. 6.02
vBulletin v. 4.2.0
Forums - Activity Stream - Pro DJ Gear Stop
ReviewPost - Main Index - Equipment/Products Review

Installed a new copy of ReviewPost on my vBulletin forums with the integration, but I am having a terrible time having ReviewPost use my vBulletin styles/look.

I opened the header inc file, but I get lost in there on what to possibly change.

Help on this is greatly appreciated.

There are no issues getting reviewpost to use the vb header. You could have issues with a custom style and relative image paths etc etc. Maybe try turning on base url setting in forum to yes to help your relative paths but I really can not comment without seeing the site.

Your server is not found if I click the links above.

[smokn28]

Thank you Chuck.

Sorry....we had shut our old server down and I had to update the DNS.

Please reattempt going to the urls.

Thanks.

[Chuck S]

Your switches in your config-intr.php are off so your not loading the vb header footer style.

[smokn28]

K, so what do I change in the code?

[smokn28]

When changing any of the below to on, I get errors in reviewpost.

define(VB3_INTEGRATION, 'off');
define(VB3_ENHANCEDINT, 'off');
define(VB3_COMMWYSIWYG, 'off');

[Chuck S]

You would get errors if you do not have things installed correctly sure and you would actually have to tell me what the error is so I can post something that might help.

Provided that all the server paths and urls are correct for the information we ask for you should be able to turn on those 3 vb3 define switches without any issue.

[smokn28]

Doh!

Here are the errors Chuck:

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/djgear/public_html/reviewpost/header-inc.php on line 57

Warning: require(./global.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/djgear/public_html/reviewpost/header-inc.php on line 58

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/djgear/public_html/reviewpost/header-inc.php on line 58

[smokn28]

header-inc.php on line 57 = chdir($vbpath);

header-inc.php on line 58 = require("./global.php");

[Chuck S]

Right that error tells me you have the wrong server path to your vbulletin on your $vbpath line in your config-intr.php file.

This goes right back to what I said in my last reply

Based on what I see your $vbpath line should read

$vbpath = "/home/djgear/public_html/forums";

[smokn28]

Thanks for pointing that out. Updated it and we are looking good....but found another issue....go figure....

When you click on a category, we get the following error:


Not Found

The requested URL /reviewpost/showcat.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

[Chuck S]

Make sure your file is uploaded again from the downloaded code and permissions 644?

Maybe its corrupt?

[smokn28]

Chuck, I did a search in the ReviewPost directory from a fresh unzip and I don't see a file named "showcat.php".

What directory is this file to be in? Under the main directory of ReviewPost I would assume by the error above.

I did find "showcat1.php" and "showcat.tmpl"

[Chuck S]

That is strange indeed maybe try redownloading the zip I double checked its there

[smokn28]

Yea, that was strange.... I rechecked the previous 6.02 download and it was missing. After seeing your latest post, I went back in and deleted all other 6.02 downloads and downloaded a new copy. Opened the archive...and wouldn't you know it... The file is in there.

Uploaded it to my server and it's looking good.

[smokn28]

Chuck, please navigate to my site and run through ReviewPost for me to see if there's anything that doesn't look right to you. I appreciate you doing this for me.

I've still got some tiddying up to do at the site...but I'm interested in the functionality.

Thanks

Your header footer loads now but you have not properly finished the install/upgrade per the documentation in the download. You must follow the directions in the install text on generating the xml plugins for vbulletin so you can load the navigation and style.

[Chuck S]

Do not know if you saw my reply but please read my last reply. If you install your vb4 plugins your reviewpost install should be complete.

[smokn28]

This is just getting me more confused Chuck and I think that's why I've been frustrated by the products I've purchased here previously.

Okay, I was following the instructions that were documented at:

ReviewPost PHP Pro Installation

There are also instructions that you've pointed me to that are inside the downloads documentation, which in turn, point me to this location:

"Follow the installation instructions of the files noted here
http://www.photopost.com/installphp.html"


I don't have PhotoPost installed on this domain, but I am to follow the PhotoPost installation instructions which differ from your online instructions for ReviewPost.

If I am to follow both sets of instruction....but not all parts of each of these....what parts am I to follow.....?

I'm confused....what do I follow??

[Chuck S]

Please read the documentation included with the downloaded code you are trying to install. I know I have said this above. As well the install instructions on support link above link here have these same instructions.

IMPORTANT - FOR VBULLETIN 4 ONLY. New plugins included in download.

In the install directory set permissions on the file product_class.xml, source-vb4.xml and source-vb42.xml files to 777

2. Go to your classifieds admin panel ( http://www.yoursite.com/classifieds/adm-index.php ) and hit the option to generate vbulletin plugin xml. That file will download to your computer.

3. Go into your vbulletin admin panel and under plugins & products select the option to manage products. You can then use the add/import product option
and upload the xml file you downloaded to your computer called product_class.xml file. Once that is done your forum will show gallery content.

4. Thats it your done!!


Please read the CHANGELOG.TXT FILE so you know what to expect from version upgrades.

The install instructions for all our products are what is above and the downloaded code has install instructions.
