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! ###

4.0.005 Won't work at all now on the site, doesn't display any images at all when I click on icon (e.g.: http://www.coinforums.com/photo_popu...=vB_Editor_001) is blank?

edit: uninstalled completely and reinstalled instead of importing over and allowing rewrite. problem fixed.

I tried disabling any mod's I thought would be interfering with your mod, but still does not link correctly. Can you show me a page that it links correctly to a gallery so I can take a look and see how a working example works?

Thanks! Great mod will really work on our site since our gallery and forums and tied in pretty tightly.

Sorry, my live board is still 3.8 and my test boards are local, so no, I can't provide a link. But I'm pretty sure it has to be that lytebox of yours. It messes upon insertion, so disabling afterwards won't help. It inserts stuff into the links. When looking at the sourcem I see rel=lytebox there - nothong that my mod would put there.

The mod I am using is: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=230411

What I don't understand is when you choose 'thumbnail with link to gallery below' is it supposed to be inserting a text link below the image or what should it be doing?

You're really good at finding all the stones vB4 is throwing at me

Bugfix release 4.0.006

Link below insertion options fixed plus a filtering issue that showed under certain circumstances.

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

Heh. I'm sorry.. but here is another problem, the program works okay, but if I choose "Show Album List?" to YES, and I click on icon to insert the image, I only get a blank popup (http://www.coinforums.com/photo_popu...=vB_Editor_001 is blank). If I put it to 'NO', then it works okay, but obviously does not show the album list.

Hi,

First, thanks for this super mod. I do have one small problem. I am shown the debug information everytime I use your mod even though I have it turned off in the config.

Any ideas where to look

Using latest .006 version
