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! ###

I have the 4.1.0 Patch Level 2 with your latest install of popup. When I select Attachments, only the first 2.67 pages populate with pictures (34 pages available). When I select Photopost, only the first 2 pages show up for all my photos. When I select a different album, nothing shows up and neither does the page nav.

Did the photopost's friendly URL issue get fixed? When I insert pics, it does it well but its using the old (nonSEO) links.

Check the database settings, table prefix, etc in the config files.

What would you like to have it updated for? I'm not aware of issues with the current versions of vB4.

Anyway, there will no new update before the new editor comes - whatever version that will be in. This mod will definitely break with the new editor.

Thank you for the tip in the German Forum and sorry for my terrible english...

I hope i have understand the install.txt
the plugin is uploaded and renamed
cel_pp_config_attachments.php
I hope it is the right one!

Cause i ask me, where can i say the plugin in which folder the pictures are...

I search some hours and more and more i think we have misunderstand us in the german vbforum?

I see you have made a great job! But i`m not sure whether is it right for me...

cause i have no pictures in albums or galleries, only in folders and subfolders,
like Bilder/fantasy
Bilder/smilies/Smlies_engel
Bilder/smilies/Smlies_lachen
etc...

greetings,
Morgi

Nowhere. This mod does not provide for custom folders, but for the products it supports.

Well - you asked for the javascript to address the editor, and I said that my mod uses it and you can have a look there. You did not provide much more basic info

I see you have made a great job! But i`m not sure whether is it right for me...

Out of the box probably not, since it needs a database where the images are listed. If you have that and look at the products config files it should be quite easy to adapt it. Else you can use the custom code you said you already had and just take inspiration from my code regarding the javascript.
