Geek Gallery Popup for vBadvanced Gallery or PhotoPost 4 or higher

IMPORTANT:
Please note that I can no longer support this project. Primarily as it is designed for vb3.0.x and I no longer use that version (im obviously on vb3.5x ). There is a version for vb3.5 over here . This project is left here for the community.
-----------------------


Inspired by mpdev's photopost popup modifcation.
I used photopost and had his modification installed. When I moved from photopost to vBadvanced Gallery, I needed the same type of hack - so here it is!

This lil doofer is designed to allow your users to open up a popup window while creating a post. The popup window will display all of the users images in thier gallery (vba or photopost) and allow them to click on an image to insert it into their post (inline). They can insert the image as a thumbnail, large image, or a clickable thumbnail that will open the large image in a seperate window. The real cool thing here is that all this works no matter which editor they are using.

You must have vBadvanced Gallery installed and working or PhotoPost 4 or higher duh.

Difficulty: Easy
File modifications: A few (only for phrases).
Time: About 5 minutes
Sign: Libra

Known issues:
Mozilla wysiwyg editor does not allow for html inserts which limits their options to thumbs or original pics only.

Change Log
v. 3 Update 20/2/05
Rewrote most of file to include support for PhotoPost. You can now set up your installation to use either vBadvanced Gallery or PhotoPost 4 or 5. This is determined by the settings in your geek-gallery-popup.php file. Special thanks goes to MPdev for helping sort out the PP integration.

fixed mozilla support

v.2 update 3/1/05

1. Added a couple more insertion methods
2. Tidied up UI big time

v.1.1 updated 21/12/04

1. Added phrasegroup additions to newreply, newthread and private as phrases were not appearing there (easy edits).
2. Made the $mediaext easier to edit (types of images allowed in popup)

4. Fixed Back phrase as it was overwritten during the install

To upgrade: Follow instructions in the Readme

Make sure you click the freaking Install button. Otherwise you will run the risk of being skipped over in my Christmas Card Mail Out.

It's the same on newthread, newreply, editpost, and private. I just went back over the install and I did everything it said.. First I ran the install, then I did the 4 file modifications, then I did the template modification.

The only thing I was unsure of but I'm pretty sure I got right was when I had to configure the geek-gallery-popup.php file.

Did the phrases install correctly? Sometimes vBulletin requires you to edit a phrase and save it again for it to refresh the phrases to work or something.

I looked in the phrase manager and the phrases for Geek Gallery Popup were all listed but none of them were checked for English US so I resaved each of them. Now I've got text inbetween the brackets for instance OPEN on the newthread one but it opens a window and nothing comes up?

[larryd]

If you hit the OPEN link again while the window is still open I get a bunch of errors.

Sounds like you have either an old version of PHP or its locked down in safe mode? Are you sure your settings are correct?

[greenhybrid]

Installing now. Thanks for the funny remarks in the install. Brightened my day a bit.

How do i go about checking?

[greenhybrid]

Looks and works great, thanks! The one thing I don't understand, however, is why I can't get my thumbnails to link to the gallery. I did read your Mozilla note (I have Firefox) but don't quite understand its relevance. I tried "gallery," "thumb" and "clickthumb" settings so far, but it's made no difference.

[greenhybrid]

I see what you mean about disabling the click function, now, but I can't understand why Firefox would cause a problem. Could you please go into further detail?

Spelling mistake: separate, not seperate

hey green. The problem is with the mozilla wysiwyg editor. It does not have a pasteHTML function so I cant pass it a preformed link. The issue is only with the wysiwyg, the standard editor works
