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! ###

Is there anyway to get it to do that? I like how that one does the lytebox if we can get them integrated together that would be beyond awesome... it would be beawsome.

Any possibility of this?

To all those who have issues with not populating medium image tags: I assume you're using albums or attachments as product. Neither album nor attachments do offer medium sized images, there's only the thumbnail and the original size image saved. Normally, the mod should strip out those not valid options automatically. There seems to be a bug there - look out for a new release shorly.

Since I do not use the mod and don't know what it does to the tags inserted, I wouldn't know. My mod simply inserts standard image and url tags - I won't start to cater for the legion of image resizers out there, sorry.

<333 thanks i had like 2000 DB errors from this

Installed latest version and its working great now.

[Scitz0]

Found one thing though.

The popup window, in the settings you can specify the width and hight of the window but the size of the content within the popup is always the same. Ie with the default 3 rows, 3 columns and 600x680px the window is way to small for the content. Below is a screenshot of how it looks. How can I compress the width of the columns? Much wasted space there.

[cellarius]

Not sure what you want to do, really. Of course if you set the popup to use a great width and the table to just 3 columns, the table will stretch accordingly. This is by design. Why would you want to set a big width to the popup but use only half of it for the table? If your thumbnails are small, use more columns in your table - or a smaller popup size.

I'm guessing this works ok with vb4.0.5?

[cellarius]

You're guessing correctly
