hi Vb gamer,

I am surprised by the mod...it rockz... i have also added SMF gallery and I want to add all the SMF gallery catogories to show on a left or right block.....how can i do this?

[vbgamer45]

Currently no option to display categories from the gallery.
But you can choose recent pictures,random pictures,top rated picture blocks from SMF Gallery

[Dharshan]

can it be done with some PHP coding or something? i don't know much, but is there a way to pull the categories (like the vertical menu module) and display it within a PHP block?

sorry for the trouble

[vbgamer45]

Yeah it could be done with php to get a category list you would need to call the gallery_cat table and get the title/ID_CAT

[gkeraoru]

The html ezblock and php ezblock gives me a sytax error?  What am doing wrong?  It does not seem to be accepting the PHP or HTML code I put in the block.  What could I be doing wrong?

[vbgamer45]

What does it say exactly? Html block shouldn't have a syntax error. Php code checks for syntax

[Dharshan]

Yeah it could be done with php to get a category list you would need to call the gallery_cat table and get the title/ID_CAT

can u please assist me with this,  if it's not a trouble for you...

[vbgamer45]

What are you exactly trying to do with a html or php block?

[Dharshan]

i want to, try &  create an ezportal module which displays and links to existing gallery categories...so that it automatically updates when new categories are added..

(i can ofcourse create a HTML module and do the same but i will have to update it if a new cat is added or one is deleted)

thanks

[vbgamer45]

Html would be the best for performance otherwise it would be doing a query on each page load.

[Dharshan]

oki, thanks for the heads up

Cheers!

Quick question, this is my first mod install.  I logged into my FTP from my forum and when I test the connection i get:   "FTP connection established" 

Will it automatically chmod if I proceed?  Or do I have to do it?

[vbgamer45]

If it asks for FTP and accepts it it should automatically do it.

[slowdive]

I guess it can not automatically do it even though I am logged in and the connection is established.

I was able to chmod the following files to "666" with my webhost

The following files need to made writable to continue installation:
/forums/Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php
/forums/Themes/default/languages/Who.english.php
/forums/index.php
/forums/Sources/Admin.php
/forums/Sources/Subs.php
/forums/Sources/ManagePermissions.php
/forums/Sources/Load.php
/forums/Sources/Admin.php


But I can not find / chmod these files.

I still get the error:

"You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable"


These are the file I can not locate (probably since ezportal is not on my file manager.

I can give you a screen print if that helps.

It is also the folders as well. Since the package manager creates ~ files for each file it edits.

There should be under admin -> package manager -> options a  way to reset all file permisions

[slowdive]

I tried to set 666 from smf and now if get a 404 error and I can not get to my forum...It redirects to my webhost.

[vbgamer45]

Try 755

[slowdive]

This is what I get: (when I try 755)

Warning: ftp_site() [function.ftp-site]: Could not change perms on /public_html/forums/Packages/ezportal0.3.8b.zip: Operation not permitted in /home/files/public_html/includes/filesystem.inc.php on line 723

I don't know much about permissions issues on shared hosting but I think the general SMF support forums will be the best place to ask.

It works great, i am using it with smf2.0 rc3

Is it I possible to show some blocks on index.php page but not on boards?
