Photoplog linking to another program

<a href="/YOUR-PHOTOPLOG-DIR/index.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]">Gallery</a>

I am running "Zoints Local" and need to know the code to place in the block that would allow me to show the link to that users gallery.

Zoints Local is like a MySpace profile system and is placed in its own folder within the forums root directory. I used the same code that you have for the MEMBERINFO template and it did not work as wanted. All it did was load the gallery index rather than the users uploaded photos when the link was clicked. The code works great on the members profile page but that is not where I need it to work because ZOINTS uses it's own enhanced profile system.

So what code do I need to use in order for this to work?

PLease help

I'm not familiar with Zoints so cannot tell you what change you would need to make.

Ok... I am not worried about zoints. I just need be able to call the users photo album from a zoints page. The Zoints crew told me to come over here and get the info because they do not know your program. Zoints uses the same database that vbulletin does so the basics should be the same.

PLease give me the code so that I can do what I explained in the initial post.

Thank you for your time ;)

You quoted the HTML link in post one. If you are adding the link to a template, there is no PHP code with which to deal. You need to make sure the variables in the following link are available wherever you are adding the link:

Code:

<a href="/YOUR-PHOTOPLOG-DIR/index.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]">Gallery</a>

Zoints doesn't need to know my program. You need to tell them where you are adding the link, and they need to tell you what variable contains the userid. If the userid is not contained in $userinfo[userid] they need to tell you what variable contains the userid so you can edit the HTML link.

Sorry for the delay in the responce. I have been waiting for zoints to respond. Here is what they told me:

You're going to need some knowledge of PHP. There is block documentation at dev.zoints.com which states that the userid variable is $this->zuser in blocks.

This really sucks because it seems nobody want to take the time to assist me in this problem. If I knew php I would have figured it out my self so you can see my frustration here.

Can you please help me get this to work? The userid variable used by zoints is $this->zuser

Just a couple of guesses, but like I said, I am not familiar with Zoints, so cannot tell you if either of these will work:

Code:

<a href="/YOUR-PHOTOPLOG-DIR/index.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$this->zuser">Gallery</a>



<a href="/YOUR-PHOTOPLOG-DIR/index.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$zoints->zuser">Gallery</a>

Please understand that to provide you with an answer that would be sure to work, I would need to examine the Zoints code, something for which I do not have the time or inclination. The best advise I can give you, I gave in post four.

Sorry for replying to an old thread, but I figured it's worth mentioning. There's a block for Zoints Local that you can add.. It will show the latest Photoplog uploads for that specific user, with a link to their photoplog gallery. If you just want the link to their gallery, then edit the block code to show "0" maximum photos, and I believe it should just have the link there.
