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)
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.
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.
Install the product.
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
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 history
Version 3.5
new: supports attachments
new config file for CND Garage > 2.x
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.
Well it seems not to work with the addon UserCP icons.
Why do you think that? Please elaborate. After looking at that mod, I honestly do not see how there could possibly be any conflict. Even installed it on my testing board, both work together well there.
The other mod is only active in UserCP, and this one does nothing to your standard vB but adding a link to a template that's only called in the editor. All the rest is done in the popup window.

I also have TMS 1.5 installed but the addon doesn't change anything.
So you see no link to open the popup? If automatic template change does not work for you, you might want to try to do them manually. Instructions are in the zip.
I'm using it on vb 3.8.0 and photopost 6.2 using separate databases. Works great and photos are now showing up.
That's good to hear!

One thing I'd like to request (if it's even possible) is to auto-close the popup when the post is initiated.
Nice idea, looking into it.

That's in now. It's done by ways of javascript - checks, whether the editor is still present on the opening page. Acts with a little bit of delay (5 secs) to allow for previewing (the editor is not present if page is reloaded).

Fixed that.
Layout change:
From now on, the album dropdown will by default be shown in a seperate line. Album titles may be very long, and thus cause some layout breaking. Sadly, there still is no way in IE to assign fixed widths to select-fields without cutting off the options...
Sorry, there was a typo in the new form code so the Phrase for your vB-Album could not be pulled in the dropdown. If you already downloaded 1.2, please download again and just reupload the photo_popup.php.
Just a short note: now it works like a charme. (upgraded to 1.2)
The mentioned addon uses its own template, so changes via TMS won't affect the standard style. I had to add the code manually (no problem at all).
One thing: Popups open in my tab bar in Firefox. Would you mind putting an option to switch "change window size when popping up?" on/off? This would be really appreciated.
Your addon rocks! Great Idea. My folks loved the idea and are desperately waiting to get their hands on it in the forum. Great job!
