Reviewpost VB3 Enhanced Index

Vbadvanced has the ability to add php blocks to display on its page

Make a default centerblock in vbadvanced admin with contents like this

include('/some/path/to/inc_reviews.php');

echo "$reviewpostfeature";

THATS IT

Can you update this a bit for the newest VBadv version?

[Chuck S]

These instructions are for including it on the forum so there is nothing to update. You can search there are several threads explaining how to do a block in vbadvanced page.

Review post and the Forum are on the same database, and I have repeatedly gotten a white page that says "Could not select reviewpost database" (nothing else, just that) whenever uploading the updated index.php to my Forum's directory.

[Chuck S]

Have you uncommented the mysql select links?

Just for laughs fill out the $link and mysql_select database lines and uncomment and see what happens.

[orangeflea]

That's been done. I just sent you a PM with the information (don't want others to see it).

[orangeflea]

I've tried commenting and uncommenting both lines. Still doesn't work.

[Chuck S]

I dont know what to tell you the mysql_select_db line error is very specific here. It is saying it can not select that database.

[orangeflea]

Is my index.php fine?

require_once('./global.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_bigthree.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_forumlist.php');
include("/home2/****/public_html/Reviewpost/inc_reviews.php");
include("/home2/****/public_html/Reviewpost/inc_reviewpost.php");

[Chuck S]

why are you installing this on the index file just out of question? This thread has the vb 3.6 plugin right?

EDIT NOPE THESE ARE THE OLD INSTRUCTIONS

That worked. Now, two questions:

1.) Instead of the name of the person responsible for the review, can the name of the product be set under the images instead (by default, it's not that way)? If so, how?

2.) The images themselves are superimposed over a nasty, black background. Is there a way around that? If so, how?

I've also noticed that it's not as detailed as the Photopost block, that shows # of comments, the link to the specific category where the product is from, etc. It just shows the picture and the name of the reviewer.

[Chuck S]

You can modify your inc_reviews.php file and the html it prints to suit your specific needs.

[orangeflea]

NM, thank you, Chuck. You do a great job here and I don't think you get enough props for it.

[Chuck S]

Thanks

What i must do, that the Produktname will be displayed in the box? And not the Name from the poster.

And how i do that, that the Box displayed in the header in the Forumdisplay, and not only in Forumhome ? I can't found a good answer here

I can help you out there. Open your inc_reviews.php file located in your reviewpost folder on your site. Then look for this line:

Content visible to verified customers only.

and replace it with this...

Content visible to verified customers only.

[MotMann]

Okey.. thank's that's it

And what i shell do, if the titel is to long, that there is ab break (second Row) in the line?

[orangeflea]

Yeah, I had that problem, too. What you have to do is make it so each table cell stays the same width and height regardless of what's in them..

In the same file (inc_reviews.php) find the code marked in red:

Content visible to verified customers only.

and replace it with the red code here:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Notice how I added a height and width parameter to the code. You can change those numbers to be anything, depending on what size you want them.

[MotMann]

Wonderfull.. thank's.
