[vbCMS] Help including php file module location

Fer

Hello all,

Happy to join your community at vbdesigns.de

I have an urgent question:

I’m running VbCMS 1.2.5 in vbulletin 3.7.2 all in the same ROOT folder and it works great.

I’ve made a php file module which is simply independent php file (I use addt-interakt framework) see my file here: http://www.elcamajan.com/vbcmsmodul_homepage.php (works perfect)

Since I’m forced to have this file inside the folder “vbcms_global_modules” I moved the file there without any code change, just moved it and It still works fine but some function (thumbnails) do not work anymore: see it here Inicio - El Camajan.com … thumbnail on right top news is not created.
The error is: “Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in <b>/web/htdocs/www.elcamajan.com/home/vbcms_global_modules/vbcmsmodul_homepage.php on line 263”
Line 263 cotains: “<img src="<?php echo $objDynamicThumb1->Execute(); ?>”

Above in the line 84 is this related code for thumbnail creation:

// Show Dynamic Thumbnail
$objDynamicThumb1 = new tNG_DynamicThumbnail("", "KT_thumbnail1");
$objDynamicThumb1->setFolder("camajancms/tabs/images_2news/");
$objDynamicThumb1->setRenameRule("{rs2news.img_news}");
$objDynamicThumb1->setResize(120, 85, true);
$objDynamicThumb1->setWatermark(false);
(I already tried changing paths here but not work)

The thing is that if I place this file in the ROOT works perfect, why not inside “vbcms_global_modules”. Should I declare something additionally ? … can I use a php file located in the ROOT ?... Should I add some extra code to vbcmsmodul_homepage.?

What am I doing wrong ?

Is this the best practice to add custom php files ?

Please HELP, I need urgent to solve this even if I have to pay.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have buffer the file output in the module options?

Fer

Let me see your complede php file

Fer

I just sent you a PM with the file and admin info.

Thanks again!

All your require_once(''); have relative path i think this is the problem.

Fer

Yes, i'm also sure this is related to the "path".

require_once('Connections/camajancms_conn.php');
require_once('includes/tng/tNG.inc.php');

They are being located fine. The problem is in:

$objDynamicThumb1 = new tNG_DynamicThumbnail("", "KT_thumbnail1");
$objDynamicThumb1->setFolder("camajancms/tabs/images_2news/");

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in <b>/web/htdocs/www.elcamajan.com/home/vbcms_global_modules/vbcmsmodul_homepage.php on line 263”
Line 263 cotains: “<img src="<?php echo $objDynamicThumb1->Execute(); ?>”

Please, do you have any idea, i can not give absolute paths here.

Can I use a module located in the ROOT and not inside "vbcms_global_modules" ?

Any suggestion Christian ?
