When creating or editing a post, your users can open a popup window that will show them their pictures in the chosen gallery, albums or attachment system.


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.

### Don't forget to click install! ###

Still no luck here. Keeps showing as no images uploaded. Oh well.

Geht auch nicht

Und laut der Fehlermeldung steht dort auch die falsche DB drinn.

MySQL-Fehler : Table 'db28xxxx_4.pp_photos' doesn't exist

Denn die Table pp_photos ist ja nicht in der vb4 DB (db28xxxx_4) sondern in der Photopost DB (db28xxxx_3)

I'm thinking about your's too, but I can't think of anything. Would you give me access to your site? (Account with images uploaded, best with AdminCP permissions, and FTP?)

Ja, das ist die direkte Folge davon. Ich m?sste mir das mal direkt anschauen. Wenn Du willst, kannst Du mir einen Zugang zu Deiner Seite per PN schicken. (Admin-Account mit hochgeladenen Fotos, FTP).

AWESOME!

Add plugin and noticed all the config files have both .php and .php_new in the config directory. I am running vbgallery and even though I made sure the config.php file is present and I added vbgallery to ADMINCP, the add-in does not showup in the drop down... Any suggestions?

[cory_booth]

I tried the included .php rather than the .php_new and now I have:
Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read_slave() on a non-object in /home4/xxxxxx/public_html/yyyyyyyy/includes/class_bbcode.php on line 220

Bugfix release 4.0.004

Fixes some minor glitches and a design issue with the Photopost Pro implementation. This hopefully should fix the issues discussed in this thread. Thanks to cyberbob for giving me full access to his board, so I could track down the bug. Also the error reported by cory_booth has been fixed.

Please reimport the product file and upload the files. There have been no changes to config files.

Just had a quick look at the install file of it - seems quite straightforward. Wouldn't be too hard, so I don't say no, but a rather vague maybe. ATM I don't have the time, but for someone with a little coding experience it probably wouln't be hard to do it himself in this case.

I'm not sure I followed everything you tried correctly; please let me know whether the new build fixed your problems.

[cory_booth]

Reupped the latest build (.04) and still not seeing the vbgallery in the drop down.
As I read the instructions:

1. Upload all files to site
2. Rename the includes/cel/product.php_new to .php (in my case, vbgallery) - I made no changes to the file.
3. Add vbgallery to ADMINCP area under Photo Popup.

Now when I attempt to use - the popup window comes up and the Album and Attachments are available, but the spot where vbGallery should be is blank. Selecting the blank area forces you back to Album.

No errors, however.
