• 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 3.4 / 3.4.1: Album dropdown not populated if using mysqli,Photopost not saving medium sized images, Fix for PHP 5.3.0 related bug (bugfixes)
• Version 3.3 new/updated config file vBGallery (bugfixes); session-handling fixed; workaround for vbseo problem with Firefox in WYSIWYG editor
  • Important: template edits have to be redone!In every manually done template edit find: photo_popup.php?e=$editorid and replace with photo_popup.php?$session[sessionurl]e=$editorid
• Version 3.2 new/updated product config file vBGallery (bugfixes), some additional error checking and error messages, debug information enhanced
• 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.

And no, sorry, I fear I can't help you based on this code. So probably this mod does not support albums/categories with Photoplog Pro. With Lite, it works.

What makes you say that? Oh, perhaps the header....

My intentions were only to aid in the identification of compatibility issues, but I understand. Content removed, though the member to subsequently quote my post and thereby redistribute the code now has the content embedded in their post. Maybe they did not notice the header either.

[wottech]

I only had the 3 lines of the header posted, but I went ahead and removed that as well...

This was working. Now I upgraded and it does not. This is what I am getting. It opens up, but when you click a picture nothing happens and it gives this error in IE.
Line: 372
Char:5
Error:Access is denied
Code:0
URL:http://www.precisionextreme.com/foru...=vB_Editor_001

Then you can click next and it gives this
Line:379
Char:16
Error:Syntax Error
Code:0
URL: Same as above

Next again
Line:356
Char:3
Error:Permission Denied
Code:0
URL: Same as above

What is going on??
Thanks,
Chris

You're in Code Mode? That seems to be an error when IE is trying to copy the code to clipboard. Anyway, I cannot reproduce this. For me, the popup works fine in IE 7, both in standard and in code mode.

[precisionextrem]

What do you mean code mode? I just figured out that it works on my desktop. It shows the same errors, but it works. Also, it doesn't automatically close. I don't know if that is related or not.

[cellarius]

Code mode is a feature this mod offers. So apparantly you are not in code mode.

I suspect that some of your browser settings disagree with the javascrpt that the mod uses. Since it's the image insertion as well as the auto-closing, there seems to be something amiss with every javascript driven function. Does it work with other browsers? Firefox? Opera? Chrome? Safari?

As I said, it works for me in all of the above browsers, including IE 7. No scripting errors whatsoever. If it works for you in other browsers, this has to be your settings in IE, probably securitywise/the way it handles javascript.

I do not know how this could be related to the upgrade from 2.x to 3.0, since absolutely nothing was changed in this section. The javascript has stayed the same. Sorry, but since it seems to work for everybody else (including me) and this is very likely an issue caused by the browser and it's settings, I may not be able to help you there.

It is a great mod, but I don't like the many updates.
It's nearly daily that this mod will be update.
So my question is when we can expect a stable version where is isnt needed to update daily.
Ofcourse I understand that it is needed to update sometime, but daily????

[wottech]

I think its because people wanted more options. And cellarius was able to respond to the option requests quickly. I'd rather have daily updates than something that has issues and only gets fixed once a month or even longer. To me, it just shows that the author is actually supporting the mod.

And besides, nothing says you have to update at each new release.

[RvG2]

I don't mind daily updates. No script is perfect at start.
