Thanks.

Hmmm, I seem to be having some issues with this script.

The following code is what is causing the problems.

ob_start();
$artresults = ob_get_contents();
include("./artsindex.php");
ob_end_clean();

If I have it as above, I get a blank white screen for art.php but artsindex.php shows, but if you click on any links it doesn't work.

If I have it as:

//ob_start();
$artresults = ob_get_contents();
include("./artsindex.php");
//ob_end_clean();

art.php and artsindex.php show fine and the links work, but without the vBulletin header and footer showing.

ob_start();
$artresults = ob_get_contents();
//include("./artsindex.php");
ob_end_clean();

As you can imagine, if I have it like this, the vbulletin header and foot works and it parses the artscom template properly, but it doesn't include the main script.

It's not live on the web yet, it's on my local server, so I can't show you what I mean, but it's certainly not functioning properly at the moment, where as things such as the horoscope script are functioning perfectly on the same server.

it looks like u have changed something in the code , try reuploading the original file from the zip file
it should be
ob_start();
$artresults = ob_get_contents();
include("artsindex.php");
ob_end_clean();

Along with anyother changes you made , reverse them then try again
If artsindex.php is working the integraiton should too easily !

I've tried it using the original code and it's doing the exact same thing for me.

All i'd changed in the code was to add a prefix to the database tables categories and products so that they show as ARTcategories and ARTproducts so that I could integrate into the same database, and that had worked to the degree that artsindex.php connects and shows the results fine using one of the combinations above, just not with the vbulletin templates at the same time.

But while trying to get the script working, yes I had changed a variety of things, nothing made any difference difference though.

But either way, using the original code is doing the exact same thing. It doesn't want to use the vbulletin bits and the script at the same time for me.

I don't think it was you, me or the code in the end to be honest, I believe it may have been something in my server configeration, although i'm not sure what.

Anyway, i've managed a work around for it, by adding the header and footer and style sheet I want to the arttemplate.html file.

Getting the script to function properly was more important to me than having it fully integrated.

where are the files?

[CraCkEr]

hello snitz,
These files are paid only membership, the fee is very low and its just there to support our further creations, as well as to support the free services we also provide.
free scripts codes can be found as attachments or the paid scripts can be found on http://www.tchatting.com/forum/members.php
Dont hesitate to ask more !

[Snitz]

I remember when you first released these hacks on vb.org for free
I've tried them on my site but didn't work even though "fopen" is enabled on my server
so I was wondering, if I purchased these scripts, how will they work?

[CraCkEr]

Hello, you can upload ur phpinfo page somewhere and ill let you know if it works or not ( I can offer you free installation thus you pay if it worked only )
Thats all , as for releasing it free yes it was true untill they were removed from vb.org contributing to the community there is fair enough for a price return but when hosting and offering support and installation, it would be fair to charge a small fee at least.
Requirements of the scripts are obligatory these scripts all will not work behind anything blocking remote file opening

It should work fine, if you wish ill post later on a script to test functionality of our scripts , if that worked then others should ! Regards,
