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.

Im I the only one running into this problem still?

[cellarius]

Hi Scalemotorcars,
I'll look into it as soon as I find the time. Regarding the link: It's not that simple, sadly. The issue is: The editor type needs to be passed to the script, and the needed variable is only present in cke itself. To find a way to make it available for a link outside or to find another way around, I'll have to give it some thought.

[Scalemotorcars]

Thanks Cellarius, I really need album selection or I wouldn't bother you.

As for the link. The one I posted above works but the trick is you need to click into the editor first. If you don't, nothing happens.

What about a more obvious button in the CK editor? Something off to the side and maybe twice the size or with text that reads ADD PHOTOS.

Just a thought.

Does anyone know if this will work with vBPicGallery?

No problem, I just can't make any promises right now - wish I could. Hate to leave you hanging...

That's to initiate the variable, probably...

I'd have to take a look at how other cke plugins handle that. Atm, what I did probably is only good for the standard icon size.

As long as there does not exist a product config file for this gallery, it sure won't. I myself do not have the time to make one atm, sorry. For someone knowing what he's doing it's not that hard. There's a how_to_make_your_own_product_file.txt in the DOCS folder.

Anyone have this working with 4.1.6?

I ended up having to insert a button under the smilies, but would rather use the ckeditor button. The button is loading, but showing as grayed out and does not function.

The mod works great other than this one issue.

Any idea of how to enable the button?

Thanks!

Darren

Well, after some investigating, the button shows up enabled in the editor if the "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing" option is checked in the UserCP>>General Settings>>Miscellaneous Options section.

Anyone know how/where the Standard editor reads it's plugin's from? It seems to be loading the icon, it's just grayed and doesn't do anything.

4.1.7 here!

4.1.8 here. Icon greyed out and not working..
