What does it do?

When creating or editing a post, your users can open a popup window that will show them pictures in the chosen gallery or albums. Now also supports attachments: Reuse what you uploaded! A click on the picture inserts it into the editor.

Works with

• vBulletin 3.7.x and 3.8.x, vB Blog (probably anything that uses the vB editor)
• Photopost Pro
• Photopost vBGallery
• Photoplog
• CNG Garage

Detailed features list

• see second post

Installation

1. Extract the archive.
2. Upload the contents of folder "UPLOAD" to your forum root. Note how the folder structure in this folder mirrors the folder structure in your forum root, so every file will be in the right place.
3. a) If you intend to use only the vBulletin forums albums, proceed to step 4.
   b) If you intend to use any other gallery product, see "Product configuration" in second post.
4. Install the product.
5. a) If you are using Template Modification System (TMS), you're done.
   b) If not, do the template modifications explained in template_edits.txt manually.

Basic Configuration

• if you're using only vB albums, everything is done via AdminCP->Options->Photo-Popup
• Decide there how many rows and columns the popup table will have, what gallery products to use, which insert options you want to allow, activate code mode on a usergroup permission basis, or activate debug mode
• See "Product Configuration" in second post.

Upgrade

• Just reimport the product-xml-file, overwriting the old version, and reupload the photo-popup.php.
• Please check in config_file_versions.txt whether the config file for one of the products you use has been changed since last update.
• If the config file for one of your products has been updated, upload it from config files folder to your includes directory. Don't forget to take note of any any changes and settings in the old file and adapt the new one accordingly, if necessary.

Support and debugging

Ill help whenever I find the time. Before asking, please activate debug mode and post the information given there (especially under "Code". Please try the two links given - do they look "normal" and do they work? Debug information is only shown to Administrators (usergroup 6).

• Version 3.3 new/updated config file vBGallery (bugfixes); session-handling fixed; workaround for vbseo problem with Firefox in WYSIWYG editor

• Version 3.1 new/updated product config files: cnd garage (thanks to wottech for cooperation), photoplog categories, photoplog albums, photoplog, vBGallery; some additional cookie error checking; error checking in AdminCP removed; bugfixes from this thread.
• Version 3.0 code reorganisation: implemeting of new galleries made easier by outsourcing of the relevant settings and database queries into seperate config files; new feature: support for vBGallery and Photoplog (lite?) added; minor bugfixes
• 3.0.1 Important bugfix if you are using vB albums: wrong database query in config file. To fix this, it's enough to reupload photo_popup_config_albums.
• 2.2 New feature: 2 plugins to show correct location and activity in "who's online". Bugfix: Bit of unphrased German removed from template (in pagenav dropdown). For upgrade from 2.1 just import product file, no uploads necessary.
• 2.1 New feature: Code mode. Lets you see the corresponding bb- or html-code instead of sending the image to the editor. If your browser allows that, the code is also copied to clipboard. Bugfix: Fixed a problem where pagination misbehaved when working with vB albums
• 2.0 New feature: Support for quickreply and quickedit!
• 1.4 New feature: Three new insert-options: thumbnail, medium and original image not linked themselves, but with a link to the gallery/album in the line below. This should be especially interesting for the users of the image resizer mod.
• 1.3 feature improvement/bugfix: default popup size is now determined before opening, not after (window.resize method causing issues in Firefox). Auto-close of the popup now using the YUI Event Listener; the needed library is already part of vB's standard distribution. New feature: title bar with "close this window"-link.
• 1.2 new feature: popup closes after editing is completed; smaller changes in Layout
• 1.1 new feature:set popup window size, to go with your table settings; minor bugfixes
  
• 1.0 Initial release

Development and bugfix releases for config files
If the need arises, there will be development or bugfix releases of config files between official releases of this mod. The zip file attached to this post will always be up to date. At the moment, there are no development/bugfix-releases.

Hey i could really use some help... i have installed a new skin and the photo popup does not show on the new template. I did the template modifications and re-uploaded the xml file. What am i missing?

[cellarius]

Well, then you did something wrong with the template edits. With a custom skin I can't really help you.

[hpidriver]

my previous skin was also a custom skin made by the same person and it worked fine before. I even checked the old template and that part is exactly the same. is there anything else it can be other than the template edits? i have tripple checked them and even compared to my old template to see if any changes had to be made but it was exactly the same.

This is really the only way members can post pictures from the thousands uploaded in my vbgallery, and is a crucially important part of my forum, any help at all would be much appreciated

edit* tried this too, nada...

[cellarius]

Now, if it worked in your other skin, and works in the standard skin, it really comes down to your new skin and the template edits. Sorry, those edits do nothing more than show a link or an icon to call the php file, nothing else. If you're doing the icons, maybe you didn't upload the image files correctly. Look at your page source in the browser to see whether the link/icon is there in the template. I really can't tell you anything else.

[hpidriver]

omg, the file name for the button is cel_photo_popup.png, but the code is photo_popup.png - anyway thanks got it working, great mod!

[Manoel J?nior]

Pleaseeee!!

Update vb4.x

Thanks my bro'

Greetings, cellarius

I'm a big fan of your work, it is quite resounding and vast and for your efforts I send my highest regards. Are you aware of any similar mods that might function with VBulletin 4.0 (or the latest releases of 4.0)? Likewise, do you have any intent for the future to perhaps configure this one to function in that environment as well? I am just now starting my site using 4.0 and would like to make this concept you have created, a reality. Additionally, I will be using it alongside the latest version of PhotoPost, which has been integrated in my VB install.

Many thanks,

As I have written in previous posts, I intend to port this mod to vB4 eventually. Basic work has already been done, but at the moment I just don't have the time to finish it, expecially since I need to check if and how it can be best hooked with the new attachment manager and how it will work with the CMS. It will take some time yet, I'm afraid, and I am not able to give you an estimate.

[Blain]

Not a problem in the least. Just know and let such give you inspiration for the future, that there will be many greatly looking forward to the future release, whenever it might be given to us!

Take care,

-Blain

Please make for vb 4.0!
