  • new config file photo_popup_config_cndgarage.php
  • if you're using CND Garage in a lower version that 2.x,
    • and you're upgrading: just continue to use the old file
    • and you're doing a fresh install: delete the new config file, and rename photo_popup_config_cndgarage.php.old (remove the .old)

What does it do?

When creating or editing a post, your users can open a popup window that will show them pictures in the chosen gallery or albums. Now also supports attachments: Reuse what you uploaded! A click on the picture inserts it into the editor.

Works with

• vBulletin 3.7.x and 3.8.x, vB Blog (probably anything that uses the vB editor)
• 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). Always state the products you use, including the software versions. Also read the infromation in the second post of this thread.


Hopes for the future
World peace, happiness, health and lot's of money

• 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.

Hi folks,

sorry for the long delay in answering questions and getting out a new version, but I'm really busy at the moment

This is really just a smaller release, including some bug fixes suggested in this thread. Thanks for all the work and thought that went into those! Be sure I try to keep up and integrate what you come up with!


Version 3.1

• new/updated product config files:
  • cnd garage (thanks to wottech for cooperation)
  • photoplog categories (for pro version)
  • photoplog albums (for pro version)
  • photoplog (updated, for lite version)
• some additional cookie error checking
• error checking in AdminCP removed
• bugfixes from this thread:
  • corrected error in installation.txt (see)
  • applied safemode-fix for vbG (see)
  • Popup-focus-fix (see)
  • fixed errors in config_photoplog.php (see and see more)

Note on Photopost support

• The config file thats just named photo_popup_photoplog is for the lite version. It works for me, although there have been problems reported. I can't reproduce these problems here.
• I decided to use two config scripts for Photoplog Pro. This means that PPlog categories and PPlog useralbums will be handled as two different products. Some errors have been fixed thanks to hints from Stoebi and bjhung in this thread. Thanks!
• though I have installed Photoplog for testing and I do offer a integration with this mod, I do not use either Lite nor Pro and have limited time to "get into it". Support for Photoplog is therefore limited and on an "as is" basis. If someone comes up with a better solution than mine, I'll gladly integrate it, as long as it does not force me to change the main code (minor changes would be considered, though).
• Baseline: As you can see, Photoplog is the weak point at the moment. This is partly due to my lack of time (and, I have to confess, to some extent also willingness) to digg myself into it's sturctures. Sorry folks, but I hope that the two new config files work for you. If not, everyone is welcome to come up with a solution (preferably in form of a working config file )

Other:

• Attachments will not be supported at the moment, with v4 and the new attachment management system pending. This may change once v4 is out.
• The problem reported in this post concerning not needed /.../ in image-paths can partly be reproduced. I do not experience it when inserting images from the albums (the folder is a subfolder of forum root), but always if the chosen product resides in a folder that is not a subfolder of forum root. This seems to be caused by the injection script that is part of the forum software and that this mod uses. I do not see a way around this.

[RWerksman]

Two errors in the Photoplog Categories setup:

In the PHP file, this:

    $count_select = "
        SELECT COUNT('fileid') AS fotos
        FROM " . $db_prefix . "fileuploads
        WHERE userid = $userid AND moderate = 1" . $where_add . "
        ";

Should read:

    $count_select = "
        SELECT COUNT(*) AS fotos
        FROM " . $db_prefix . "fileuploads
        WHERE userid = $userid AND moderate = 0" . $where_add . "

and this:

    $images_select = "
            SELECT fileid, userid, filename, catid
            FROM " . $db_prefix . "fileuploads
            WHERE userid = $userid AND moderate = 1" . $where_add . "
            ORDER BY dateline DESC
            ";

should read:

    $images_select = "
            SELECT fileid, userid, filename, catid
            FROM " . $db_prefix . "fileuploads
            WHERE userid = $userid AND moderate = 0" . $where_add . "
            ORDER BY dateline DESC
            ";

The count seemed wrong, and the moderate = 1 flag would only show those items that are under moderation.

[cellarius]

You're right, I uploaded a wrong file version for the Photoplog configs - shame on me...
Your point about the moderation is valid and was to be fixed anyway, it was mentioned somewhere in the thread I think. That might also fix some of the problems there were with Photoplog usage.

But to do a count over the whole fieldset (by using *) seems not the best thing to do. Fileid is a unique key.

zip-file updated. If you downloaded before this post and inted to use Photoplog, please redownload.

Have both photopost and albums, latest vB.

Had the same problem as well.

I had to copy the png file into my template styles editor folder not the vBulletin editor folder.
So instead of images/editor/photo_popup.png
It was images/<TemplateStyle>/editor/photo_popup.png.

Hope it helps.

Great MOD thank you.
