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.

This is the top modification used on my board and by me. We love its integration into photopost and vbgallery. I haven't noticed the thumbnail problem, but I will check and see if I made any patches. I have made some minor patches to it along time ago. Still the greatest thing out there. Thanks Cellarius! (These guys never get the credit they deserve)

I did state that "Obviously it's not caused by this great mod" but hoped someone would have an answer anyway. Maybe I shouldn't have posted it here.

My users and myself love this too!

Here is a simple add on...
1. Add this to the product file in the <phrasetype name="GLOBAL" fieldname="global"> block

<phrase name="cel_pp_dbtech" date="1233344754" username="cellarius" version="2.2"><![CDATA[DBtech Gallery]]></phrase>

2. Upload the attachments to ./includes/cel and ./includes/cel/cel_pp_config as appropriate.

3. Re-import the product file, then edit the option and enable 'dbtech'

Enjoy!

cellarius - you (and anyone else) are free to use this code I wrote. No warranty or guarantee etc.

For people still having issues with this mod breaking IE 7 posting, I fixed it by going to Plugins and Products, Plugin Manager and disabling "Add CKEditor Configuration" in the Cel mod. It doesn't appear to have any adverse effects but it fixes the IE 7 "missing post box" problem.

Does anyone have any idea why the insert code would look like this?

<a href="#" onclick="thumbpaste('<img src=\'\' style=\'border: 0\' />','[img]https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/[/img]');event.returnValue=false;return false;">

This suddently started happening on my site - I suspect there is a plugin that is interfering with the insert of the image url.

[tpearl5]

bump, anyone?

[tpearl5]

nevermind, I actually just realized that I only had an option for medium, and there is no 'med' option for regular attachments. That's why I was getting the blank insert code above.

When I open the popup in the editor and select attachments, I see a drop down with all my attachment sub-folders listed but if I try to search or list the contents of any of them the result is mostly empty and what does show is not in the proper category.

I don't see any setting to address this but I have not looked at the code.

I ran a query to see if the identifiers were in the database with this result. It loks like I should be seeing lots of images to choose from.

 SQL query: 
SELECT count(`filedataid`) count, 
min(`filedataid`) Lo, 
max(`filedataid`) Hi, 
`categoryid` 
FROM `attachmentcategoryuser` 
WHERE `userid` = me
group by categoryid LIMIT 0, 30 ;
Rows: 24
