My b2evolution Version: 2.x

Hello.

Okay so, here goes:

I finally upgraded to b2evo 2.4.7 and my site is still under construction.

After updating, my chosen skin was photoblog just to test it out so that I could see if everything worked before I attempted to customize my own skin using some of the photoblog features.

I made a few post in my http://candyacidreign.com/diablogue/index.php/portfolio/ just to test things out, but the "Index" link took me to a page that had all of the menu's etc, but no thumbnails. It was empty.

I saw that the thumbnails were created in my /media/blogs/portfolio/.evocache/

I even edited this code to my skins index.main.php to include the 'mediaidx'

as seen here

<?php
  // -------------- MAIN CONTENT TEMPLATE INCLUDED HERE (Based on $disp) --------------
  skin_include( '$disp$', array(
       'disp_posts'  => '',		// We already handled this case above
       'disp_single' => '',		// We already handled this case above
       'disp_page'   => '',		// We already handled this case above
	   'mediaidx' => 'mediaidx.disp.php',
     ) );
  // Note: you can customize any of the sub templates included here by
  // copying the matching php file into your skin directory.
  // ------------------------- END OF MAIN CONTENT TEMPLATE ---------------------------
?>

The bottomline is I don't know how to get my ?disp=mediaidx to work.

using dreamweaver I opened my blog/skins/_mediaidx.disp.php file and it was completely EMPTY. Even the _mediaidx.disp.php file in my upgrade folder I downloaded from b2evo site is also empty. I also had a /blog/_mediaidx.disp.php file and that was also empty. absolutely no code in it.

In b2evo 2.4.7 there is no inc/widgets/widgets/_coll_media_index.widget.php

or at least, I don't have one. The resolution might be simple, but I'm clueless as to why I have no working ?disp=mediaix

I did alot of researching before hand, and so I checked for a solution but can't seem to find one. I'm on a deadline because i need my site complete before a very important black tie event I have coming up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

by the way,
I'm an artist, and a poet, so I needed a photoblog but I wanted it to look like my normal skin, so as you can see by clicking the link (far above) to my incomplete portfolio, I edited the "DarkBlogTheme' to my liking. However, the photoblog index DID NOT work even when I was using the normal photoblog skin. :-/ [/php]
