Another OIOpublisher Problem Solved

Oct 27th, 2008 Posted in Eclectic Resources | no comment »

I had one heck of a morning, first of all I found that I had another problem with the OIOpublisher when  I was checking the widget that someone purchased. When I clicked on it I didn’t go to their site I received this message instead:

OIOpublisher Setup Requirements: Open the OIOpublisher ‘config.php’ file in the ‘oiopub-direct’ directory, and fill in the plugin_url variable where indicated After you have dealt with the issues above, please refresh this page.

As most people know I am not technical so I was stumped and headed straight to their forum and left messages, but got no replies so I looked at someone elses problem and then downloaded the congif.php, but had no clue where I was suppose to actually insert anything or even what to insert.

I wasn’t sure where to add the information until I saw someone elses example so I had to go to my cpanel and sift through all my databases till I found the right one and tried the information that I had found until I finally got it right so now it is working fine until I have to upgrade again.

If your not technical like myself then looking at the code below will look just as confusing to you I’m sure, but at least I found out I was suppose to put the information between the ‘here‘; sometimes I feel like a total ditz. I also had to find another FTP program because mine stopped working so today I got absolutely nothing done except to solve this problem.

$oiopub_set->plugin_url = ”; //for example: http://www.mysite.com/path/to/oiopub-direct (no trailing slash!)

/*
DATABASE CONFIG
you must fill in all database connection info if using standalone mode
*/

$oiopub_set->db_args['db_host'] = ”; //database host (usually localhost)
$oiopub_set->db_args['db_user'] = ”; //database username
$oiopub_set->db_args['db_pass'] = ”; //database password
$oiopub_set->db_args['db_name'] = ”; //database name
