My next "project" is to convert all the HTML over to templates; so will get your help when I do that. I didnt want to put in all the effort upfront since I knew I would be redoing all of that soon enough. But as soon as I get going on templates, you're the guy I am going to call.
And, no, there is no other integration at this point. I plan to make a "deep intergration" hack which will use UBBThreads Whose Online, Last Visit, Search and others areas. (Don't ask, I dont know when I will be able to do all that; but hopefully not too far off!)
If the thumbnails are served off your host, then you will incur the bandwidth of displaying those thumbnails.
I saw that and replied over there, I would immagine that is the problem since it can't be remotely calling his script I'm going to install mine later today so I'll let everyone know how it goes.
Well, that link would only be displayed if it were displaying the categories in the first place. I guess the question is - why arent any of your categories showing up.
oops, didn't see you reply here, I sent you another PM.
The more I looked at the code I realized that stuff before that should be showing up to begin with... but I can't tell what would be throwing it off. Its not displaying any errors or anything, so I dunno. I'm not a coder unfortunately
This hack does not place a link back to UBBThreads. However that is very easy. In your photopost gallery find the file pp-inc.php. Look for the following code below:
[] Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in D:\wwwroot\fiebre.com\ubbthreads\templates\default\ubbthreads.tmpl on line 126 [/]
I actually managed to integrate this hack into my site and it kinda works! No one is more surprised that I could do this than I am
The issues I'm having:
My biggest PP subcat shows on the UBBT page as having 0 posts and 0 uploads. Why won't the correct numbers show?
One of my top-level gallery categories isn't showing up -- I'm only seeing two of the three. It's the only category with no sub-categories, if that's related.
The "lightbulbs" don't change once gallery threads are viewed. If the category has photos in it, the lightbulb stays yellow.
How do I put a title above the displayed photos (something like, "Most recent additions to our gallery"?
I'm using the current release of Photopost, and UBBT 6.2.
Guys Extremebikini has noted all problems with this hack and in his spare time has said over in the photopost forum that he is working on this when time permits.
I have updated it use the $tbopen and $tbclose variables for flexibility and those that use the table wrappers from here.
I will look into the categories and try a few things out myself although I have never used subcategories I shall see if I can get it to work.
I posted another update in my next post to correct most issues.
Sorry, guys; been real busy with some new products and havent had time to go back and work on this. I havent even been able to load 6.2 myself yet!
I was able to make light bulbs work on my current release - but I havent tried it with 6.2 yet. Unless someone gets to it before me it will be a week or two (at least).
To summarize what has been done. The only issue I that has to be cleared up is the cookie issue which Michael is working on.
1) Totally XHTML Compliant 2) Updated to use $tbopen and $tbclose 3) Subcategories are now being included in the main count ( Keep in mind this hack does not display subcategories on the main threads page nor is it designed to. )
The only issue I see left is cookies. Follow the directions in the attachment.
ADDED 2-9-03:
Directions have been tweaked to take the user information out of template and put into PHP file for security issue.
You had meantioned you might have had a bit of code also in ubbthreads.php so that it would recognize and update the lightbulbs. Just like you had that query routine that got the counts for the thread totals and such.
Oh, right; I have the code for that. Its not a cookie thing, its just the code I had to add. I'll email you my new ubbthreads file so you can see if and yank it out.
ennyone tried this recently? I kept getting table problems around the photopost stuff, like something was missing... anyways I used the code from the first post and the touchups from the second page and it looks ok.
I use the last version I posted and it validates and looks okay. I am still waiting on Michael to send what code he has inserted into ubbthreads.php to make the lightbulbs work.
The original one posted here is not XHTML compliant and uses the old table structure.
