Mod Name / Version: UBBThreads Photopost Total Integration Version 4.7 <br /> <br />Description: This mod is for the new Photopost 4.7. This mod makes use of the UBBThreads header and stylesheet for a total integration of Photopost within your UbbThreads environment. <br /> <br /> <br />Working Under: UBB.Threads 6.2-6.3-6.4 <br /> <br />Mod Status: Finished <br /> <br />Any pre-requisites: UBBThreads and Photopost Licenses <br /> <br />Author(s): Omegatron <br /> <br />Date: 02/27/04 <br /> <br />Credits: JoshPet for help on Header-Include <br /> <br />Files Altered: photopost------pp-inc.php ppopen.tmpl and ppclose.tmpl <br /> <br />Threads--------header-insert.php <br /> <br /> <br />New Files: None <br /> <br />Database Altered: Nope <br /> <br />Info/Instructions: Backup your files before modifing!!!!! <br /> <br />Disclaimer: Please backup every file that you intend to modify. <br />If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so. <br /> <br />Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.

your replacement instructions for pp-inc.php dosn't match with the code from pp. I hope I do the hacking correctly, but something iss missing in the instructions. The entrance of the gallery dosnt show correct and the stylesheet for the admin section dnst work. I go to search .... <br /> <br />/edit: first problem found. something wrond with my tablewrapper. I use the original and it works. Replace with tbopen/close (renamed) and it dosnt work. maybe the reletive path that I use. I will continue trying.

Are you sure you are using 4.7? <br /> <br />This is indeed in 4.7 <br /> <br />require "languages/$pplang/pp-inc.php"; <br /> <br />to give you a further hint that line is line 50 of pp-inc.php <br /> <br />and the printheader function is indeed from 4.7 you are replacing the entire printheader function which as always is the staple of this hack. <br /> <br />As far as the stylesheet in admin section that is not seen by anybody and I considered useless from this hacks standpoint. <br /> <br />You can find the stylesheet call in adm-inc.php and fill out the full path to a stylesheet you want to use but has no value on the workings of the hack which is to change the stylesheet based on a user's stylesheet which is all front end stuff.

I done it. Works well. I misunderstand your instructions about the open/clos and now i got it. The style for Admin is working to. I got the information from the the old description. Thanks.

yes, I use 4.7 <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I talk about your second hack modification in pp-inc.php:<br /><br />###<br />### In pp-inc.php find this: <br />###<br /><br /><br />function printheader( $thecat, $titlereplace, $slideshow=0, $printheader="yes" ) {<br /> global $Globals, $User, $link, $slidedelay, $slideurl, $vbheader, $skip_exheader;<br /><br /> if ( $Globals['printheader'] == "yes" ) return;<br />(...)<br /><br />###<br />### Change to this:<br />###<br /><br /><br />function printheader( $thecat, $titlereplace, $slideshow=0, $printheader="yes" ) {<br /> global $Globals, $User, $link, $slidedelay, $slideurl, $vbheader, $skip_exheader;<br />(...)<br /><br />and this dosnt match with V4.7 wich I just download. I replace as I mean its correct and it seems to work. But I miss a feature: <br /><br />A highlight of new features and improvements in PhotoPost 4.7 include:<br />- Collapsible/Expandable categories on Main Index<br /><br />I cannot find this.

Ah you mean my printheader function does not have the vb call <br /> <br />Got ya. <br /> <br />Yes you replace the entire printheader function <br /> <br />As far as collapsable cats I do not think that made it into this version or I do not see them either

yes, yes, it exists, but not as you describe in your modification text. That what I mean. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />ps please dont print entire code blocks on screen

thanx Chuck.

Thx Chuck. Up an running! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Chuck, I posted some things on the PP board that might effect the templates end of your mod. Read more

test it JC and let us know <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

they are mainly design issues, not functionality. Although a couple could result in broken tables. I have it all running on mine.<br /><br />Photopost Install

I did your changes on my testboard although you put down 1 wrong file.. you listed index.tmpl but it should be indexhead.tmpl

Yup saw Michaels post, I started the list before dinner and left in the middle..lol

yeah I can't post there <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Michael don't let me...

I dont do templates with this mod anymore. LOL<br /><br />I just have you match the tbopen and tbclose variables and copy them to ppopen and ppclose. <br /><br />Makes it alot easier on my and maybe the less steps involved the less mistakes someone can make installing the hack.

I dont bring the popup help to work. I know in the past it work on my site. While testing the V4.7 I only get the yellow alert from IE and no window. <br /><br />I verify the header-insert, try your and the original one, but no luck.

This line<br /><br /> PopUpHelpWindow = window.open(\"{$Globals['maindir']}/\"+url,\"Smilies\",\"scrollbars=yes,width=300,height=400,\"+pos);<br /> <br />Change the {$Globals['maindir']} to the actual url to photopost directory

I hate Java <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smashpc.gif" alt="" /> it dosnt work. Or do I mistake ? the window.open should be on my site:<br /><br />PopUpHelpWindow = window.open(\"http://www.dragonclan-forum.de/photopost/\"+url,....<br /><br />Is this correct or is there a syntax error in it ?

no as long as you escape the quotes out you should be ok so by doing<br /><br />PopUpHelpWindow = window.open(\"http://www.dragonclan-forum.de/photopost/\"+url,....<br /><br />instead of<br /><br />PopUpHelpWindow = window.open("http://www.dragonclan-forum.de/photopost/"+url,....<br /><br />you should be fine.

I need some help on this one, as I have never integrated these before (always left them separate).<br /><br />Two questions:<br /><br />http://www.bladekeep.com/forums/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=516<br /><br />Why do I have a blank column over there, is this something I did during integration?<br /><br />http://www.bladekeep.com/forums/gallery/index.php<br /><br />Is there an easy way in the templates to fix the dark gray behind the "Recent Posts: last day...etc? I have ZERO knowledge of the photopost templates.<br /><br />Thanks guys.

One suggestion for your mod Chuck would be to find a way to move the PP menubar to the footer. With the threads bar and the pp just below it, it looks cluttered.. I usually move mine to the footer on the main page. Also the profile and logout tags in the pp menubar are not needed, since the threads bar has em <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> My souliton was to empty out the menubar template, (except for the needed PP tags etc) and put this at the bottom of the index page. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />What do you think?

[/]<br /><br />you mean the background? the background will be whatever the css you have is.. <br /><br />I personally started by deleteing all the files except the ones in upload and data and then pushed the new files over and set permissions. then ran the install script then the upgrades from the upgrade directory for me it was 45 46 467..

btw I see the SWG ss's what server you on?

quick notice: V4.7e with several fixes in the templates and other bugfixes is avaible.<br />I still work on the %§%$" Java-help. Dont work but I dont go to sleep before it work <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My guild is on Bria, but I do not personally play the game. Still holding out for WoW, heh.<br /><br />Will review the mod, I am guessing it has something to do with a spare TD or TR in there.

yeah I gave up SWG after 8 months of Beta Testing and 4 months of game.. found it wasn't improving any.. I am waiting for City of Hero's..

Medar you need to download the latest Photopost<br /><br />There was one put out this afternoon with some templates changes which broke some things. The templates have been rolled back.

so in English Omego if I downloaded this and and installed it wednesday I should be ok but if I downloaded the new one today or yesterday I need to update er rollback?

No your fine from wednesday unless you want the member gallery all image index back in. Update D had some attempted template corrections that made things look terrible thats why I told Medar to download the latest Photopost which is 4.7e

ok cool. thanx <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Beleive my my head has been spinning<br /><br />We released Photopost 4.7<br /><br />and members did not like the new members gallery specifically the fact we got rid of the old perl style member's gallery showing all of a members images in the members gallery regardless of cat. So we add it back in<br /><br />Hense 4.7-1<br /><br />Then to fix some specific forum moderation codes and the attempted few suggested template changes<br /><br />we release 4.7d<br /><br />The come to find out the suggested template changes made things look whacky as can be seen on Medar's install<br /><br />so we release 4.7e<br /><br />All in two days

ok so how is your integration changed any? or not?

No not at all

yup. Although there still are graphical bugs in categories.php on my board at least that I fixed by changing tdnothumbs to menubar2 <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hmm...I thought I had 4.7e installed. Will have to double check that.

Eeesh....think I'll just wait a another week or two until these minor updates stop coming out. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
