Detailed features list

• see second post

Upgrade from vB3 version
Please uninstall the old version at AdminCP->Plugins & Products->Manage Addons. Also remove all files you uploaded for the vB 3 version apart from the editor icon, which will be reused. This will be /photo_popup.php and all /includes/photo_popup_config_[product].php files, relative to your forum root. Then follow the installation instructions below.


Installation

1. Extract the archive.
2. Choose the products you want to use and rename the configuration files in _UPLOAD/includes/cel/cel_pp_config from .php_new to .php
3. If you're using Photopost Pro, you need to fill in some crucial information into the config file. Please see the config file for more information.
4. Upload the contents of folder "_UPLOAD" to your forum root. Note how the folder structure mirrors the folder structure in your forum root, so every file will be in the right place.
5. Now the Photo Popup and your chosen product configuration files will be present with default settings on your server. Later on, you may want to make adjustments there.
6. Install the product file at AdminCP->Plugins & Products->Manage Addons.
7. Template edits?
   • If you are using new editor, you're done.
   • If you are using old Editor and Template Modification System (TMS), you're done.
   • If none of the above two conditions apply to you, do the template modifications explained in _DOCS/OLD_EDITOR_ONLY-template_edits.txt manually for the editors you want the popup accessible from.

Basic Configuration

• Global configuration is done via AdminCP->Options->Cel Photo-Popup
• Additionally, you can make settings and overrides in the seperate product config files. See "Product Configuration" in third post.

Upgrade

• If upgrading within the vB4 series, just reimport the product-xml-file, overwriting the old version, and reupload all files (skip the icon if you're using a custom one).
• Most times you will be done, but please check in _DOCS/config_file_versions.txt whether the config file for one of the products you use has been changed since you last updated.
• If the config file for one of your products has been updated, rename _UPLOAD/includes/cel/cel_pp_config from .php_new to .php and transfer your custom settings from your current config file to the new one. Then upload it to your server.

** Please note that the config files for Photoplog and CND Garage have not been converted. I do not have access to vB4 versions of those two softwares for testing and developing. Whether this will change in future, I don't know - at the moment, apart from having no software access, I'm very much out of time. Anyway, the config files are not too hard to figure out and there is a short introduction to adapting them. Please feel free to convert or develop for other software, if you like, and submit to this thread or to me personally by PM.

### Don't forget to click install! ###

Sorry to be a pest. The last issue I resolved, but now I have upgraded to the new editor. I do have an issue that I would think should be easy to solve, but I just don't know where to make the edits.

My vB install is in www.mysite.com/forums, but I use the CMS and have my article editor in /. So when I am trying to write an article and click on the photo popup icon, it tries to take me to: www.mysite.com/photo_popup.php?... instead of www.mysite.com/forums/photo_popup.php?...

Can some one shoot me in the right direction so I can make that work?

Thanks!!

Just wanted to make sure this works with the new Photopost Pro version 8 before I update my gallery. I would rather wait and make sure your mod works with it then loose the functionality.

Thanks...

Scalemotorcars,
I'm sorry I can't comment on compatibility at the moment, since my license for Photopost has expired; I will renew shortly. No 100% guarantees at this time, but I'm using Photopost and this Addon on my live site, and the probability of this addon being fixed if PP8 breaks something is quite high

Not at all

Please replace your clientscript/ckeplugins/cel_pp/plugin.js with the attached version. Does this resolve your issue?

If you use MySQLi (config.php) then this fix is needed...

In photo_popup.php @ line 322

PHP Code:

        $resultcount = mysql_num_rows($cel_pp_prod->mysql_result_main); 


Becomes:

PHP Code:

        $resultcount = $cel_pp_prod->db->num_rows($cel_pp_prod->mysql_result_main); 


Kym

Thanks for the heads up, no idea why I did not use the vb method there. Will be fixed in future versions.
