Graphics script

[Sergio]

I'm having trouble with the m2scripts graphics script.

http://wurped.com/myspace-graphics/cute-myspace-graphics.php It says

Warning: opendir() [function.opendir]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/.dua/lejovit/wurped.com/myspace-graphics/cute-myspace-graphics.php on line 24

Warning: opendir(http://s131.photobucket.com/albums/p318/iheartsergio/cutegraphics/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/.dua/lejovit/wurped.com/myspace-graphics/cute-myspace-graphics.php on line 24
cant open dir

Is that a nice way of saying "our server sucks and we limit a lot of functions"? Is there an alternative?

By the way, I'm trying to use photobucket so who knows if I actually did it right. The lines where I put the photobucket path are..

$cat = 'http://s131.photobucket.com/albums/p318/iheartsergio/cutegraphics/';
$urlpath = 'http://s131.photobucket.com/albums/p318/iheartsergio/cutegraphics/';

I get the same error. I asked about it on the forum but didn't get a reply. :(

without seeing the code my only guess would be that you need to chmod one of the folder or file permissions

[Sergio]

Yeah I noticed. I wasn't sure if I was doing the photobucket part correct, so I just copied you =P

edit: I think it's a dreamhost thing. I noticed you're with dreamhost as well. I might move this to my account on lunarpages. I hate transferring forums!

The directory that it's trying to get the graphics from is from photobucket, so I doubt it. I'm not sure if I'm even doing that part right.

Edit: I'd post the script but it's a paid script. I'm only posting chunks of the code.

I have dreamhost. I can show you my code if you like and you can look at it. Just hit me up via PM.

I also modded mine for photobucket, but what you need actually is to upload one copy of the graphics to your site and one copy to photobucket, its semi-annoying, but its worth it in the end. As far as I know theres no way to do it directly from photobucket without knowing the direct path to photobucket.

Thanks, I will PM you. =) I'm also thinking about creating my own script, it doesn't seem too hard.

[Selena]

It certainly isn't hard in the least. With the basics of that script I've formatted mine TONS more customized, as you'll see in the PM I just sent you. The only parts I have to change are 3 variables at the top of each graphics page, and then upload the images and the php file and Its done.

I'm working on a simple tutorial and will post it here.

I'm sure people will appreciate it. =)
