Any resolution to that pesky issue of the image being placed within the site and not in the editor?

Also, if any of the options are changed my images dissapear and I have to close the window to get them back...Odd stuff indeed!

Any help would be greatly appreciate with these two issues :)

We're running the photopost on a different database with a different username/password. The Geek Gallery Popup Settings allow choosing the database, but not the username/password... Is there somewhere in the script that I can set this? Thanks.

Can I just throw in a meek ditto?

This mod would be fantastic, but given the number of users on my board, these two issues make this mod not quite ready for primetime.

I have Photopost VBGallery and after trying everything listed on all these pages it simply won't work. I'm not sure what changes Photopost made to the gallery but they are effecting the hack.

ProjectCamaro, try this.......If you can see your image's in the gallery normally.

Server Path: /your/path/here/forums/gallery

Gallery URL: http://www.yoursite.com/forums/gallery

Data Folder: /files

click save.......

Now go to the geek-gallery-popup.php either in your file manager, or you can edit the file, reupload it and just copy over the existing file....
Anyways, open geek-gallery-popup.php and scroll down to And where you see $folderstring .= '/' . $uid; Put // in front of $folderstring .= '/' . $uid; just like i have in the quote.........see what happens.

Hmmmm, I can't seem to get this to work. Right now it is popping up a blank white window.

I am running this on Windows 2003, so I was wondering if someone can help me get my paths correct.

c:\inetpub\wwwroot (CMPS home)
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\forum (forum home)
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\gallery (VBA Gallery home)
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\gallery\files (VBA Gallery photos)

Right now I am running this on a local test box, so my url is http://localhost

I think I have tried every combination but still can't seem to get the right settings.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

db error on 3.5.3


Edit: changed $vbulletin->options['geekgallery_system'] to vba then popup got blank

Can you verify that you guys have geek-photo-popup template installed in your style?

i made sure, yes i do
geek-photo-popup and geek-photo-row

Hello,

Hotwheels' modification corrected an issue I was having. My images are all being stored in the "/files" directory and not "/files/1/". This includes my members. I was getting a bunch of the horrid "red x's" where the images should have been. I am running the ORIGINAL vBadvanced Gallery by Brian if that makes a difference. Mine was not upgraded through PP.

By adding the comment that Hotwheels suggested, MY images appear now. I am currently waiting to make sure member submissions do as well.

Hey, I got some problems.

First one is this is at the top of the popup
Second problem, when using internet explorer, it doesn't put the images in the post at all but directly on the top of my page???

Screen shot attacthed, save post results in no photos.

This solved the function error in my above post.


This question was never answered and overlooked.

Thanks for the update.........

If the editor does not have focus, the images get thrown in the top of the page. Its a clearly defined Known issue in the first post (always has been).
I am not too sure as to what could cause the blank pages, or bad image paths. The key problem is that this was designed for a version of vbagallery that is no longer available or supported. PP support was put in, but only blindly as I don't own it, and I don't know what else has changed with ppgallery now.

In a nutshell, its a sticky mess and I'm not sure how to proceed. Maybe its best to scrap the hack all together which seems a shame as most people seem to be cracking on pretty well with it.

Geek, it IS a cracking hack and perhaps one of the most useful (except for GARS, of course). We use it all the time. :)

Not sure if this is a new bug or not, but when the images belong to other categories in addition to the members gallery, I get a bunch of blank thumbnails listed along with the working thumbnails from the member's gallery. Here's a screenshot:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

This problem does not occur if no additional category is specified for a given image when it is uploaded by the user.

havent noticed before. Ill see if I can check it out when I get back into town.

THanks

Is there any way to set height/width of the popup window as well as how many columns/rows of pictures to display?

Impressive hack. Installed nicely, all my images and templates appear to be working correctly, pages change, etc, etc. Using lastest versions of Photopost and VB. When I click on an image, it inserts into the editor,and the image is clearly visible in the editor, but when I submit the post, it puts an http clickable URL to the thumbnail, instead of the thumbnail image itself. I would think that I installed this correctly, as, the images all seem to work correctly, prior to submitting the post.

It's the right URL. I just don't see the actual thumbnail (or actual image, depending upon choice made), in the post. Smilie images get put in without problems.

Here's a link to a test post: http://www.russbo.org/vb/showpost.ph...7&postcount=15

Same issue in IE and Netscape; browser appears to make no difference. Any ideas??? Thanks!

Can someone please help me? I have been unable to get this to work.

3.5.1
VBA Gallery (now Photopost) - most recent version
NT/IIS server

A screen shot of my paths is included. I have tried a LOT of different options and none of them seem to work.

Right now, when I click on My Files it opens a blank popup.

Thanks!

I think this baby needs a little suspension until I can do some testing on the newest version of vbag. Ill post when I can get a little closer to a solution. Right now, im running the last release of vba's version and its fine on my side.

Saying that... blank pages are usually a result of missing templates. Can you double check?

Ours is also working FINE on the latest VBA Gallery.

Hey Geek, welcome back.

What templates do I need to check? I have geek-photo-popup and it is populated.

Thanks!

Thanks :)

That should be cool, however make sure its in all styles. It may be an IIS problem too - I havent tested it in that environment.

By chance, are you running this on IIS?



If anyone is running this on IIS, would you mind posting what you are using for the file/url paths in the config page?

Thanks!

For some reason this all of a sudden stopped working. :(
Whenever you click on an image, it does nothing. Any ideas? I've reuploaded the file, reuploaded the product and redid the template edit.

I still cannot get this to work properly. Can anyone help me confirm that my paths are setup properly?

Thanks!

trana, those aren't correct..........

should look like:

Server path to gallery /home3/******/public_html/forums/gallery

Full URL to gallery root http://www.**********.com/forums/gallery

Data folder that holds photos with leading slash ie /files or /data) /files

Well, progress!

When I click on a photo to include it in the message, the photos are added to the message window at the top of the page (above my header image, navbar, etc).

Edit: Has anyone ever been able to fix this?

Trana, do me a favor and try this:

and see what happens........

Thanks!

That worked.

Now if someone could figure out how to make sure the images end up in the editor and not the top of the browser...

That i am not sure of..........my image's appear in the thread/post.

How can I make this running with vbSEO ?

I'm not sure what this hack has to do with vbSEO?

You have to modify the hack of add custom rules to vB SEO to let the images be displayed.

I installed vB SEO and now the popup hack is only showing cross images (image not found).

I think this happens cause vB SEO tries to rewrite the IMG SRC values and now does not find the images anymore.

Maybe Geek knows about this problem and can help.

Example:
I open the popup and click on one of the cross images.
In the thread this is pasted:
http://www.domain.com/gallery/files/...e.vu_thumb.jpg

This is wrong cause currently for the gallery I do not make a rewrite.
The geek popup script should take the old values and not rewritten links.

Hey there. This script has nothing to do with vbseo. If it worked before vbseo and now it doesnt, I would suspect the problem lies there.
However in fairness I use this script on www.thenailgeek.com and use vbseo and neither needed any additional tweaking or configuring.

This

fixed my problem :D

Great stuff!! Thanks.

Two questions. When you are first using it, it's hard to tell that the photo actually got inserted. I can see my new users filling up their posts with photos, then hitting my vb photo limit of 5.

Some kind of more obvious feedback message that the photo was inserted would be great, along with the option to close the window as previously suggested.

Also, just a question--I need a way to put a limit on the width of the original image option. I allow fairly big images in the gallery, but don't want them displayed that big in posts. How can I limit the max width without forcing smaller photos to a potentially higher max width?

Again, thanks for a great hack!

Been using this product since 3.0x

But my server updated my PHP to 4.3.10 and now this product is not working correctly.

Geek Pop Up Page is taking forever to load:

Page generated in 80.48932 seconds with 12 queries (3 queries for uncached templates) [Server Loads: 0.04 0.11 : 0.09]
Uncached templates: adv_gallery_footer (1)
Uncached templates: adv_gallery_navbar (1)
Uncached templates: adv_gallery_navbar_newestbits (10)

any ideas?

thanks

the link to the popup is not showing for me when i edit the template.
