    Code:

    Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno X) in /home/wherever/public_html/photoplog/settings.php on line X
    Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/wherever/public_html/photoplog/settings.php on line X
    Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/wherever/public_html/photoplog/settings.php on line X

    It means that the full path set in the PhotoPlog config file is incorrect. Run this script in your main forum directory to help determine the correct path.
    
    Code:

    <?php
    echo getcwd();
    ?>

  • Onscreen Error
    
    Code:

    Sorry, User Name: Bad Open

    It means that PhotoPlog cannot http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php the 'images' directory. Check for 777, write and ownership permissions on the 'images' directory. If using v.1.0.6.2 and prior, check that the PhotoPlog directory settings are correct paths, not full links. If using v.1.0.7+ check that the PhotoPlog link and upload settings are correct.

  • Onscreen Error
    
    Code:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagetypes() in /home/wherever/public_html/photoplog/functions.php on line X

    It means that the core GD library is not installed correctly. Visit http://www.boutell.com/gd/ or in EasyPHP, configuration, PHP extensions, activate php_gd2, restart.

  • Onscreen Error
    
    Code:

    Blank page

    Check that the full path set in the PhotoPlog config file is correct. If using v.1.0.6.2 and prior, check that the PhotoPlog directory settings are correct paths, not full links. If using v.1.0.7+ check that the PhotoPlog link setting is correct.

  • Onscreen Error
    
    Code:

    Incorrect links / broken images

    PhotoPlog v.1.0.6.2 and prior prepends http://www.domain.com/forum to relative links, after removing any duplicate directory if present. It works this way because PhotoPlog can reside outside your forum directory. If you see an incorrect link or broken image, set the absolute links manually in the templates for your skin. PhotoPlog v.1.0.6.2 and prior does not prepend to absolute links or background attributes. The latter is depreciated so use style instead. For PhotoPlog v.1.0.7+ edit the relative and absolute link settings appropriately, as you now have more control over what gets changed from a relative to absolute link.

    Code:

    Another mod (such as nicer greeting on navbar, additional navbar, etcetera) does not show up in PhotoPlog

    For PhotoPlog v.1.0.7+ edit the global variables setting to include the variable names from other modifications. For PhotoPlog v.1.0.6.2 and prior, you'll need to globalize the variables creating those extra bits in the photoplog_output_error and photoplog_output_page functions, located in the PhotoPlog functions.php file:
    
    Code:

    global $varname;

Requirements: vB 3.5.0+ (development initially based on having vB 3.5.4 though vB 3.6.0+ and vB 3.7.0+ should be okay, but not every version was personally tested) and MySQL 4.1+ (development based on having MySQL 4.1+ though MySQL 3+ may be okay, but not every version was personally tested) and PHP with GD2 and Safe Mode off

Does it work on vB 3.5 and vB 3.6 and vB 3.7? Yes, it should. See the requirements. Also, there are two product XML files, one for vB 3.5 and one for vB 3.6/3.7, so import the one that matches your vB version.

Live Demo and Official Support: http://www.photoplog.com/

Note on Official Support: With 70 some pages, assuming 15 posts per page, and over 1000 posts, all in one thread, official support for this mod is now held off-site. Apologies in advance for possibly having to register at yet another forum, but IMHO support would be better served elsewhere at this point.

All support requests, except perhaps for proven bugs, may be ignored if posted in this thread.

Comments, suggestions, etcetera are welcome, but please note that further modifications are not being planned, as this is intended as the final release of the lite series.

Fun Fact: PhotoPlog Lite v.2.0.6 had 4330 downloads plus 2262 downloads prior to CSRF protection plus 3031 downloads as of 06 Nov 2010!
