Am I being too literal? The way I read it, the geek-gallery-popup.php file that goes in your forum directory is step 2... do I maybe need to make the changes in that file and upload it before the install script will run?

OK, I just deleted the other download and started over, just for grins and giggles, and now I am getting the install screen.... maybe it was gremlins. Too weird, as I made no changes in the file prior to uploading the first time!!

okay dokey, I have completed the install, including the fixes mentioned above. What am I supposed to see now? I have a new thread window open and everything looks just the same to me ...

Sounds like a bad upload. Its happened to me before.

you should see a my photos/select option with the editor. If not... your phrases may not have been built after installation.
Search for one of the phrases (like my photos) then edit it and click save. that usually fixes the phrase prblem.

Thanks again for your input. The problem is definitely in the phrases - as in, I don't seem to have any new ones. I ran the install again (twice), then seached again.... no go.
The second time I installed, I copied the list of phrases it said it was inserting to my clipboard, maybe I could add them manually.. ? not sure about the typeid thing though. Any ideas or tips as to trying to add them manually?

The phrases will be installed, its a semi common problem with installing phrases.
You need to find one of the phrases, edit it and then save it again (without changing it).

Try searching for the following phrase:
Insert thumbnail that opens the original picture in a seperate window

then edit it and save . That will rebuild all of your phrases and sort you out.

HTH's

Well there ya go, that one came up, (nothing did earlier for my photos) and I did the edit-save thing on one ... still nothing changed ...Will go back and double-check my insertions and changes now, I guess .... well maybe not right NOW.... It's Saturday after all, and I have plans that involve King Crab legs with drawn butter and a big sirloin and some Miller Lites with my Valentine. ;)

Will surely be back by-and-by to let you know if I ever got it working though, or to whine some more and then try to pick your brain again, if not. I appreciate the hand-holding.

Get out man. If you remember I helped fix your freaking hack.

Admitedly this was inspired by your hack as I was using it when I used photopost. When I switched to another product, my users still wanted the popup feature so I made a new popup box that (IMO is far better than the photopost one).

Its ironic you used my code to make your hack work, promised to give me credit, didnt, then come on here pissed that I stole bog standard javascript and an html link.

[edit]Took a deep breath and re-wrote ;)
I also added the reference to your hack in the first post.
