Thanks, installing it right now

Hmm.. am I behind in the IIP version or something? I don't see this

code:
	if ($index_include[1]['custombox3'] == $x && !$xused) {
		include "{$palspath}/pals/custombox3pal.php";
		$xused = 1;
	}

---

IIP 5.1 is the current version.

Yes. Those instrucions are for IIP 5.1.

You can search for any Pal "requestor" and "add below" that.

Try:

code:
  if ($index_include[1]['quicksearch'] == $x && !$xused) {
						include "{$palspath}/pals/searchpal.php";
						$xused = 1;
					}

Ahh, I was still using 5.0. I'm behind

Anyway, I have it all installed, but one slight problem. It works as you can see if you click the link in my sig. But for some reason its still looking for my photopost installation in /gallery/

But as you can see, this is my setting:

code:
$pp_url="http://www.michiganjeepers.com/photopost";

---

Is the gallery hardcoded somewhere in there or something?

Oops

Find:

code:
 echo "<a href="/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=$photo_id">
 

---

And change to:

code:
echo "<a href="$pp_url/showphoto.php?photo=$photo_id">
  

---

Zip re-uploaded to resolve link issue.

the attachment don't work

the attachment counter works LOL (5 downloads)
was at 2 and I tryed 3 times

Hmmm. I'll re-upload it.

Re-uploaded .....

Should work now.

any chance of adding a loop so we can display 4 random images in the center ? something like
$count = 0;
$count++;
if ($count % 3 == 0)

then here ORDER BY RAND() DESC LIMIT 4

will that work ?

I mean if this code was added to the correct spot in the query.

I'll set it up so you have an option as to how many images you want to show.

I should have something tomorrow.

Has anyone got this to work? very simply instructions however I do not see anything on my index page and I have one of the options set to 1.

Looks like you have it working to me.

Yes it would be better to have a more hard coded option in configpal. It drops the added code easily. It took about ten tries to set one of those to a one and saving configpal for it to save without dropping the added text.

Were you able to implement this 4 pics in the center?

edit: This site - http://www.njflyfishing.com/ has something similar, only it's a VBPortal

I did not play with it I was leaving it up to Casper.

Hi

I've just tried this in UBBT6.2 and II5.2 and can't see anything.

Does it work with 6.2?

Hi all

I could not get this to work...........

But Chuck helped me --- now I have a random photo --Great

Thanks Chuck

Hi,

I did everything but cannot get the box to show up, what box in IIP should I make sure is selected?

Thanks!

-Jason

Hi armyocs

That's what happened to me, I could not see the box to tick in the II5.2 config so if I could not tick it then it would not show up.

I suggest you see Chuck (omegatron) who helped me.

Hello army,

I need to read the posting rules as I do not want to release something and violate the rules.

I could release an updated custompal2box which is how the hack is done but don't want to violate anything here. It does have Just Dave's copyright on it. Since you are basically modifying one of dave's files I don't know if I can post how here.

If you contact me privately I will show you how to modify it yourself to get it to work.

Chuck- thanks for the help!

I just installed with 6.2 and the latest IIP, and its working great, wonderful mod/pal

Yeah me too. Works great - I tweaked it to use the $tbopen and $tbclose table wraper, so it would work with Dalantech's table wrapper thing.

If you use IIP 5.3 you don't need to tweak anything Dave's already done it.
