rp3 integration into forumhome problem
 

i keep getting these type errors:

this error appears at the top of the page above the vb index content.

Hello as noted in the instructions to set this up if you have the forum and reviewpost in separate databases you need to uncomment the mysql_select_db lines

Also download the build and replace files as there is a fix already posted for inc_reviewpost.php where $pp_db_prefix was used not $rp_db_prefix

ok, im still having problems. i replaced the inc_* files with the build ones.

but im still getting errors.

i also had to change this (inc_reviewpost):

to this:

it would just die with the cant select database error before i made the change. now i get the above errors that i posted first.

Is your database named rp_products

These are the databases of the reviewpost and forum you put in there.The instructions clearly state if they are in separate databases you must uncomment those lines and place the proper database names in there

inc_reviews:

yes, review post is in a separate database.

same userid and password to access both reviewpost and vb3.

leave this commented because i use same username and password. right?

then i uncomment this line because i want it to select the diffrent database that has reviewpost in it. right?

then i would uncomment this line to select the vb3 database because the reviews abd forums are in separate db's right?

----

inc_reviewpost:

same thing as above.

same as above, dont need to uncomment because they use the same user/pass. right?

dont need to uncomment, user/pass the samew for both.

select the products database from reviewpost. but this is where i get an error because "products" isnt the name of any tables in my database. they all have a table prefix (which this refrence is lacking) of rp_.

---

did i follow the directions correctly?

then this takes us back to the above post of the errors im getting.

yes both database things would be uncommented. I run it on my site with no issues.

ok, i fixed the database issues. no more problems with that. now i get these image related errors:

looks to me that the path to reviews is bad from the forums directory. where do i change that at? it should be ../reviews not /reviews

note, the featured products box does show up in the forum home and shows pics and seems to work. however, it gives those above errors at the very top of the page.

In your config-intr.php file is the path you need to change

$thumbtag = "{$rpdata_dir}/{$pcat}/{$puserid}{$product}";
$image_stats = getimagesize( $thumbtag );

ok. so i just added ../ before the {}. and now the errors are gone, but it doesnt show the pics. the box is there, the titile and who uploaded it shows, but no pics.

I was giving an example

$rpdata_dir definately exists in the config-intr.php file and you need to set it to this

/var/hsphere/local/home/xx/reviews/data

same problem still. i changed that path in the config-intr file.

in firefox on a mac the pics dont show up in the top featured reviews. in safari they show up as black squares with question marks in them. i havent tested it on my pc yet with ie or firefox.

you get that still then your path as I noted is not correct as I noted in the config.intr.php

Have you uploaded all the required files as in the overlay files which are in the images directory?

I have this on my forums and they are in separate databases so it does work if the proper files and paths are correct

http://www.reeftalk.com/forums/index.php?

the path is fine. i dont get any errors anymore, i just dont get any images.

before i had images but i also had errors.

i know it works too, i saw it work on my site, it just had the image errors at the top.

what are the overlay images? i copied all the files over the old ones when i upgraded to rp 3.0. so i must have it ??

the images folder has new images

overlay_round.gif as an example

Those would need to exist or you will get nothing

yeah i checked that ive got all the required files.

in windows all i get is boxes with x's in them. no pics.

well we are going back and forth here

post the url to your install please

in inc_reviews.php find $url_path and replace with $rpurl_path

ok, made 2 changes of $url_path to $rpurl_path in inc_reviews. now were getting closer, it gives me black squares now, but not pics yet :)

Look at your path statement in your integration settings it is definately wrong

<td style="background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center;" bgcolor="#000000" background="/hsphere/local/home/slothdog/weedtracker.com/reviews/data//434/9gods_gift-thumb.JPG"


It should be if I am readin this right this

/var/hsphere/local/home/slothdog/weedtracker.com/reviews/data
