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! ###

Bugfix release 4.0.007

This will be the last bugfix release for some time if there don't come up major flaws - atm, I'm not aware of any pending issues. I'm away on business for three of the next four weeks - apart from that there's the soccer world cup

Fixed in this one: debug permissions, attachments folder list now contains root ("folder"), a filtering issue with the albums list, and the insert option "image with link below".

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

I still get blank html page when using 'show album list'. It worked at version 002 or 003, whichever used the GET. Ever since you changed that it won't display the album list from photopost, it just shows blank page.

Hmmm... I'm getting a memcached error. Anyone else using memcached with this mod?

Warning: Memcache::get() [memcache.get]: Key cannot be empty in [path]/includes/class_datastore.php on line 295

This error pops up in the new window after clicking 'My Photos'.

[cellarius]

Try the following: Open photo_popup.php and find around line 22

PHP Code:

$specialtemplates = array(''); 


Change it to

PHP Code:

$specialtemplates = array(); 


Does this resolve the issue?

It does indeed! Thank you!

Now I just need to figure out why the My Photos link appears in a crazy place...

edit: Anyone else seen this issue? I don't have any other TMS edits affecting this template and the template itself is unmodified.

I doubt it's an issue connected to the use of cookies, may be a coincidence of sorts. If you provide me with AdminCP and FTP access, I'll have a look.
