OK the reason they did a bunch of mini releases was to take care of minor issues with certain customers. Nothing Major
Most of these except for the template thing you would never notice since you run threads. There were alot of new things like signature and avatar support added and group moderation.
The release notice said these features were only avaiable to threads and VB3 customers. Other customers freaked and did not want to wait. So they were added in. Thus you saw the many mini revisions. Most of which never would effect you.
Uh, now there's a 4.7g release....when will the madness stop!
Yea, yea...I understand...minor stuff...hence the letter designators. Just seems pretty funny is all...and that's why this hombre will wait til the madness slows down on the releases.
[]scroungr said: go into your stylesheet and find .welcome{ yadda; yadda; color: ;} and change the hex code color to another.. [/] Looks like that one changes the threads welcome and not the photopost welcome. Any other input here?
you didn't say which welcome anyways do the following.. this is what I do on most pages anyways.. select all text around the area you want to change and then look at it's source. most browsers allow you to look at the source.. that gives you a hint as to which class in the css to fix. like on yours where it says Welcome to yadda yadda in the yellow the source is..
[] <font class="welcome"> Welcome to the SoCAPS Photo Gallery!</font> [/]
so by looking at it appears to be the welcome class and is probably either the lackof a background: #yadda yadda or the wrong color in the welcome yadda yadda..
Okay, I've screwed up my PhotoPost each time I've done upates....yea, I know...I'm a knuckle-head and this is why I'm bringing this up before I end up with another headache and members sending Gweedo to my house to take me out.
Appears there is now a PhotoPost v4.7i out. I was going to wait until these minor updates stopped coming out, but I'd like to get the new features running on my site.
I'm currently running PhotoPost v4.6 and would like to update to 4.7i. Problem is as I explained...I always manage to screw up my database when I do these updates....so, here is where I need your help.
How will I properly go about an upgrade to version 4.7i? I have looked Chuck's instructions over but I didn't see specific guidance for knuckle-heads like me attempting to do an upgrade.
Well this is a hack. You need to follow these instructions to install the hack. To upgrade Photopost you must follow the steps in the UPGRADE.TXT file in the documentation folder in the photopost distribution.
Simply put upload all files to your photopost directory EXCEPT config-inc.php. Then run these upgrade scripts in order.
Chuck, believe I've replaced all the files as you've explained here in the past....but it screwed up the images.
For instance....if I replace the directories 2 and 500....I have files in both directories. If I replace them with the empty directories that are supplied with the archive...won't that delete my images in those directories?
You are using GD as your image processor and it does not support gif images. You will need to unselect it as an allowable image in your admin options or switch to ImageMagick as a processor.
If your using the integration you forgot to copy over the tdnothumbs stylesheet class to that threads stylesheet. This is the one that needs to be set to the same as the tdheader.
I see you asked the question over Photopost and Don helped you although I gave you the same answer above to fix it as well
[]Omegatron said:I see you asked the question over Photopost[/]
Yes I did, as you told me to.
[]Omegatron said:How about you post over at Photopost Support[/]
[]Omegatron said:and Don helped you although I gave you the same answer above to fix it as well [/]
Yes, Don did...and no, you did not give the same answer. Your answer was partial, but it would not have solved my issue entirely. I needed to FTP into my uploads directory for the gallery and delete all .gif files that were sitting in the subdirectories.
However, I do appreciate your assistance in solving part of my issue....I just wanted you to know that you did not give the same answers as Don did.
You told me to post over there....so I did, and then you still come back on here and shoot me in the leg.... Well, I'm confused....
Oh well....as always, your help is always appreciated even if you like to take pop shots at this hombre and then cover up with a smilie.
It is working correctly now and hopefully I have imageMagick installed so that I can accept .gif images.

Meeeeow.
The only reason Omega stated such is that Photopost and Threads are 100% separate products, and therefore you will get Photopost support on the Photopost member forums.
Questions about integration with Threads are best asked here...anything related to Photopost is best asked there.
The reason I stated that is half the questions or problems brought up the integration threads in every version I post ends up being photopost support related things.
